No more.
Is that supposed
to scare me?
- Don't be a wiseass!
- Just take it easy.
Commander Farrell's trying
to lay it out for us.
Why don't you two guys
just knock it off.
How did you actually meet
the Secretary of Defense?
I was introduced to him by Pritchard.
I met him when I was in college.
- Pritchard?
- Yeah, Scott Pritchard!
Jesus.
General Counsel for
the Secretary of Defense.
You got it? Is that good enough?
Look, you know this already.
When's he gonna come
out from behind here?
- Yes, sir.
- Got it.
Good evening, sir.
Get that limo out of here.
- Hi.
- Move that car.
Thank you.
Lucky it's not a bullshit detector
or else none of us would get in.
- How are you, Scott?
- Hi, Tom. How are you?
- Fine.
- You look great.
Thank you. Thank you.
And thank you for the invitation.
I'm not used to hanging
out in places like this.
But I suspect you'd like to.
I take it you'd like to join our staff.
That was the purpose
of the note, wasn't it?
Well it wasn't a note,
it was a Christmas card.
And as I recall, the message was:
"Merry Christmas. "
Yes, thank you very much.
David, Scott is here.
Come on. I want to introduce
you to someone.
- Hello.
- Scott, how nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.
- Thank you.
- Scott, how are you?
- Hello.
Secretary Bryce, this is Commander
Farrell, the officer I mentioned.
You'll recall he's had experience on
the joint staff and naval intelligence.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Everyone I know is looking forward to
serving under you for another term.
You must have a very
limited acquaintanceship.
- Tom and I were in college together.
- Good.
He has great warmth.
- He's a genius.
- Oh?
You know, some people think
you're really the brains.
Do they?
Is that supposed to flatter me?
He's the most extraordinary
person I've ever met in my life.
If it came to it,
I'd lay down my life for him.
Is that a job requirement?
Ladies and gentlemen,
it certainly was fantastic having
the President here this evening.
And I'm sure you'll all agree we can
look forward to a fine four years.
So let's continue to keep our inaugural
hair down with some more music.
Let's do it right now.
All right? Come on.
Yeah.
All right.
If you want to look down my dress,
you should grow a few inches.
- Wanna dance?
- The twist? No, thank you.
Well, we don't
have to twist.
- No meant no.
- "No" wasn't a figure of speech?
No.
- You're pretty impressed with me.
- No.
Yes, you are.
Stoli, straight up.
So I was impressed.
- Yeah. Want a drink?
- Same.
Make it two.
You one of them?
- One of who?
- These hypocrites, all fat and shiny
gearing up for another four years
of ramming it to the rest of us.
- Are you one of them?
- No.
I'll bet you are.
You're pretty cynical.
Adequate to the occasion.
We have a potential nausea
situation building here.
- Let's get out of here.
- My date's not gonna like that much.
But what the hell.
His wife will be delighted.
Is this something
we should talk about?
Nope.
- Show us the monuments.
- What's your name?
- Bill.
How you doing, Bill?
You wanna shut the slide?
- Sure.
- Sorry, Bill.
My name's Tom.
I'm Susan.
We're here.
- Is this your apartment?
- No, no.
I have a key to my apartment.
- It better be good.
- We need your bed.
Nina, Tom. Tom, Nina.
There's a limousine downstairs, okay.
There's booze in my pantry,
the refrigerator's full of food.
Susan, why don't you
go to your own place?
Because it's just one of those things.
Be a friend, alright?
If anybody calls, then just tell them
I died or that I'm asleep, all right?
- He won't call.
- I'll think of something.
- Here are the keys to my apartment.
- I gotta change.
Everything you need is in the
back seat of the car, okay?
- You didn't do it.
- Hey, now, you better beat it
before I get arrested.
- Bye, Nina.
- Oh, nice meeting you, Tom.
Nice to meet you, Nina.
Move it.
- Get it out of here.
- Okay, a**hole.
Hey, come on folks.
Hey, come on, break it up.
I gotta make a living.
Can we move it along?
The white zone is for loading
and unloading passengers only.
No parking.
Take care of yourself.
Send postcards from
exotic ports of call.
That's what you call them, isn't it?
Exotic ports of call?
A port's a port.
You're exotic.
Bye.
Morning, Tommy. A little bit
early to be relieving me.
Well, I felt our motion change.
- Have we set a forward lookout in this?
- Yeah. Standing orders.
Maybe you should inform the captain
that the foredeck's shipping water.
Right. Do you wanna be the
one to wake him up?
The fleet radioed,
we got a Russian sub out there.
We're supposed to catch
up and stay with it.
Great. Give us a chance to
try out the depth charges.
Yeah, that'll be the day.
The last one.
Forward watch is down!
Forward watch is down, sir!
Forward watch is down!
He's gonna be swept over, sir!
- Get the spot on him.
- Aye, sir.
- Where is he?
- There he is, there!
Hold on!
Has he got a safety line on?
Tommy!
Sound the rescue party!
Help!
Send the special rescue detail.
Forward lookout down.
Tommy, come back,
wait for the rescue party!
Send the special rescue detail.
Forward lookout down.
Sh*t.
Help me!
Tommy, you don't have
a safety line on!
- Keep the light on him.
- I'm trying, sir!
Tommy!
Keep the light on him!
- It's too windy, sir!
- Hold on!
Don't let him out of your sight.
Jesus!
Help me.
Hurry!
He's got him.
He's got him!
- We got him!
- Great!
You've seen the leak
on the budget cuts?
I've read the papers.
You're late.
- I was caught in traffic.
- You should allow for that. I do.
I've redlined the relevant sections
and my synopsis is at the end.
Order breakfast. It's the most
important meal of the day.
You should take
better care of yourself.
- Menu, sir.
- Five years, 2 billion dollars.
Gulf maritime can't even
get the prototype to float.
The phantom sub is a sinkhole.
I'm not putting another dime into it.
You're right, of course.
But what about the Armed
Services Committee? Duvall?
to in this next four years
is putting that fraud
Duvall in his place.
He's right back there.
I know.
Let's go.
Oh, hi.
Mr. Secretary Brice.
Good morning.
- Senator, how are you?
- Mr. Secretary.
We've just been having a little
discussion here about that piece
on the budget in the paper.
- Did you read it, sir?
- No, I haven't read the papers.
- Scott was mentioning it.
- Mr. Pritchard.
Where in heaven's name
do they get their information?
And that idea about cutting
back on the phantom sub?
It's essentially groundless.
As a matter of fact, we were just
going over our options on that.
Talking to Mr. Marshall here,
are doing things with submarines
that will turn your hair white.
Senator, you can rest assured I have
