"Previously on The West Wing :" "I made a deal with Abbey because of my thing." "One term." "The energy secretary's gonna respond and I'd Iike to mention that to the vice president." "Shouldn't have Bill T rotter do it." "Who would you send?" "T o punch back?" "Me." "I'm sure you know I was curious about why you'd volunteer for something like that." "Mr. Vice President, what do you know that I don't?" "Toby, the total tonnage of what I know that you don't could stun a team of oxen in its tracks." "That's an incredible one in 500 Americans afflicted with this disease." "Which leads me to part two of my question." "Senator, how is it that despite the prevalence of this disorder  autism has received less than 1 5 percent...?" "Leo?" "Hey." "I didn' t know you were still here." "What' s going on?" "I've been thinking." "About why Hoynes volunteered to slap down big oil." "It was his polling information." "Yeah, but why did he put the poll in the field at all, is what I'm saying." "John Hoynes is an egomaniac who needs to be told what people think of him." "That's pretty unusual for Washington." "Leo, has there been a discussion in some room, someplace anywhere, on any level, about Hoynes being dropped from the ticket in 2002?" "No." "You sure?" "Because I thought maybe it was..." "...an Eisenhower-Nixon" "No." "I wouldn't give it a Iot of thought." "Okay." "Hey." "You scared the hell out of me." "The poll Hoynes put in the field" "He's gonna run for president one day, why shouldn't he do his own polling?" "He's gonna run in six years, what good doe's last week's do?" "I really don't know." "Okay." "It's never happened before, right?" "No." "A vice president would never challenge a sitting president for the nomination." "Of course not." "You see his itinerary?" "Who?" "The vice president." "I don't keep tabs on John." "Speech at a semiconductor plant." "The title of the speech is:" "" clean Air Industry in the High-T ech Corridor of the Industrial Northeast. "" "Where?" "Nashua." "New Hampshire." "Toby, nobody, and particularly not Hoynes, would be naive enough" "What I mean is, if he's going to New Hampshire for the reason you' re thinking, he would mask it with something." "It wouldn't be an official trip." "He'd make up a benign excuse to be up there." "I know." "So why are you concerned about the speech?" "Because it comes in the middle of a three-day camping trip to Killington." "Why doe's Hoynes think the president isn't gonna run again?" "What's going on, Leo?" "Excuse me, Mr. President." "I closed the embassies in T anzania and Brussels." "What about domestic?" "I don't have to make that call yet." "How much time do you have?" "About an hour." "Mr. President, I've got Toby waiting in his office right now." "Why?" "We've gotta tell him." "T ell him what?" "We've gotta tell him." "What happened?" "He got curious when Hoynes volunteered to step in for Bill T rotter." "And then more curious when he found out it was because Hoynes put a poll in the field." "Now he's camping in  Killington, Vermont, with a stop in New Hampshire and Toby's not an idiot." "He" "None of them are." "He scheduled a trip to New Hampshire?" "High-tech corridor of the Northeast." "Y eah, thanks to who?" "What doe's that matter right now?" "I think you gotta see this as an opportunity." "T o do what?" "T o gauge reaction." "You think Toby's reaction is gonna be the same as the public's?" "I meant the staff." "Which will be?" "I'm sorry, sir?" "The staff's reaction will be what?" "I don't know." "Shock." "Betrayal." "Confusion." "Concern about our future." "I don't know." "What do I tell him?" "Everything." "Go get him." "Y es, sir." "Now it starts." "Y es." "Well." "You know what the problem with this is?" "Y es." "It's supposed to be funny." "And yet?" "It's not." "No." "Who worked on this?" "Jay Breech." "Janet Lippman." "Andy Kyle worked on it a Iittle." "You know what they did?" "They forgot to bring the funny." "How much time do we have?" "I wanna to show it to him within the hour." "Toby." "Sam and I are gonna punch up the jokes for the Correspondents' Dinner." "Y eah, I read it." "They forgot the funny." "Y eah." "You want to stay?" "Where you gonna be?" "We'II find a place." "I'II hook up with you in a bit." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Hello." "How you doing?" "I'm doing fine." "Did you get the flowers?" "Yes, I did." "Did you Iike them?" "They were very pretty." "Know why I sent them?" "I know why you think you did." "It's our anniversary." "No, it's not." "I'm the sort of guy who remembers those things." "No, you send a woman flowers to be mean." "You're the only person I've met who can do that." "I'm quite something." "Yes." "I sent them to mark an occasion." "We gonna do this every year?" "For I am a man of occasion." "I started working for you in February, this is April." "You're an idiot." "You started working for me once in February, then you stopped for a while." "Then you started again in April." "That's the one I celebrate, because it's the only one where you started and it wasn't followed by not working but rather going back to your boyfriend." "And how, in comparison to that and him you can call me mean is simply another in a Iong series" "Oh, shut up." "Do you ever get tired of your own voice?" "No." "No, no, no." "Where are you going now?" "Sam and I are gonna punch up the thing for tomorrow." "We need funny people." "Know any?" "Right there was a joke." "oldest joke in the book." "I'II say." "You know what, Ado Annie?" "I sent you flowers." "I think what you' re trying to say is:" ""Why, thank you, Josh." "They' re beautiful." "How very thoughtful of you." "Not many bosses would've been that thoughtful. "" "Really?" "Because I think what I was trying to say was shove it." "Then I guessed wrong." "Want me to help with the thing?" "Y es, I do." "Because you are such an hysterically funny person." "Did you notice how I used "an" there properly?" "Y es, I did." "You crack me up." "You know, there are times when, to put it simply, I hate your breathing guts." "So the flowers really did the trick?" "Oh, yeah." "Ainsley?" "Ainsley." "Ainsley." "Hello, Sam." "Didn't you hear me shouting?" "Y es." "And?" "I chose to ignore it." "Because?" "You were shouting." "You're adorable." "Y et ill-adored." "Go figure." "What are you doing?" "I'm going up to Smith College tomorrow." "Why?" "It's my alma mater." "Reunion?" "No, the women's studies department is having a panel on resurrecting the ERA." "Who else is on the panel?" "Rebecca Walker, gloria Steinem Ann Coulter, Naomi Wolf." "You know, something like 40% of all women oppose the ERA and in my Iife..." "..." "I've never met one of them." "Ainsley Hayes." "Nice to meet you." "You're not." "Y es." "You're not." "Y es." "You're not, you' re not, you' re not one of those people." "If by "those people" you' re referring to Episcopalians" "You're going to the cradle of feminism to argue in opposition of the ERA?" "And get some decent pizza, yeah." "They' re gonna hate you." "I'm a straight Republican from North Carolina." "You don't think they hated me the first time around?" "What are you doing?" "I wanna punch up the jokes for the Correspondents' Dinner and I'm looking for people left in the building who are funny." "I can't find any so I came to you." "I would think with your infectious sense of humor, you would have no trouble." "You wanna help me or not?" "I need to do this." "We've ordered Chinese food." "Okay." "and Australia announced today they're holding the 18th Annual Nude Olympics." "The Nude Olympics in Australia." "You thought it was exciting to win a race by a nose." "Oh, you gotta watch this." "Did you see the draft for the Correspondents' Dinner?" "It's not funny." "Sam's gonna work on it." "Toby, take it easy in there, okay?" "You can go in." "Good evening, Mr. President." "You want a drink?" "No, thank you, sir, I'm fine." "Have a drink with me." "Sure." "Bourbon, no ice." "Thank you." "You know what I found out recently?" "T o be called " bourbon, " it has to come from Kentucky." "Otherwise it's sour mash." "An AIgerian-born terrorist named Reda Nessam was arrested at the Canadian border yesterday with a U-Haul containing 1 0 two-ounce jars filled with nitroglycerin." "And they don't allow that at Y osemite?" "No." "Anyway, on advice from State and Intelligence  I closed the embassies in T anzania and Brussels." "What about the FAA?" "They want me to order the airports to heighten security  but it's a holiday weekend." "I don't know." "Toby, I gotta tell you something." "Doe's the FAA have to present evidence of a credible threat?" "How do they do that?" "I don't know, they do it." "Excuse me, sir, is there a time frame?" "About an hour." "Toby, around 1 0 years ago, for a period of a few months  I was feeling rundown, and I had a pain in my leg." "They both eventually subsided." "But then eight years ago the pain came back." "As well as numbness." "My vision would be blurry sometimes and I'd get dizzy." "During an eye exam, the doctor detected abnormal pupil responses and ordered an MRI." "The radiologist found plaque on my brain and spine." "I have a relapsing-remitting course of MS." "I'm sorry, sir?" "I have multiple sclerosis, Toby." "What doe's " relapsing-remitting " mean?" "I'm sorry?" "What doe's " relapsing-remitting " mean?" "It's" " I don't know-- It's the good kind of MS." "It's the good kind." "As opposed to secondary progressive." "Which is the bad kind." "MS is a chronic disease of the central nervous system." "Symptoms can be as mild as numbness or as severe as paralysis." "And loss of vision." "Cognitive function." "Is it--?" "I'm sorry, is it fatal?" "No." "That's the good news." "Bad news is there's no cure." "Y eah, that I knew." "Doe's relapsing--?" "Ever turn into secondary progressive?" "Sure." "Is there any way of telling if it's going to?" "No." "Okay." "I'd Iike to stand up." "Can I stand?" "I'm sorry, sir...." "I need to" "Can I...?" "Excuse me." "Mr. President?" "You wanted the call from Mr. Garreth at the FAA." "Could you put it through to my office?" "Y es, sir." "Go take it in my office." "See?" "Larry?" "See the problem?" "Well, they didn't bring the funny, Josh." "No, they didn't." "What are you doing?" "Jotting down go-tos in case a joke doe'sn't work." "" I haven't seen an audience this dead since, " that kind of thing." "The president's gonna get heckled?" "No, but I've read the speech and I think you'd be wise to have some dead-audience metaphors." "Here we go." "" Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy to be here and I want to thank the White House Correspondents' Association for inviting me." "I expect I'II be stuck here tonight with my fair share of verbal harpoons." "I don't mind, just don't stick me with the dinner check. "" "And then it says "allow for laughter. "" "Unless we tell the audience, it won't be a problem." "Hey." "" Don't stick me with the dinner check"?" "I know, it's like he's playing Grossingers." "" I know some of you are troubled by my frequent use of Latin references." "AII I can say is, no te preocupes. "" "The joke is that it's in Spanish." "It's that kind of Latin." "That's where you'II want your first dead-audience joke." "We're not gonna need one." "Donna, who gave you those beautiful flowers?" "I did." "Those are from me." "What's the occasion?" "Nothing." "Our anniversary." "Our not anniversary." "Donna doe'sn't like to talk about it." "I really don't." "Okay." "A few years ago Donna's boyfriend broke up with her so she started working for Josh then the boyfriend told her to come back, she did, then they broke up and she came back to work." "I thought you meant you didn't want to talk about it." "I'm a spokesman." "It's in my blood." "They' re nice flowers." ""And I'd also like to thank our host, Bill Maher. "" "We're not making fun of the host." "Who are we making fun of?" "Republicans." "Republicans." "I only wish the Speaker were here tonight  but he's held up in negotiations on the Hill." "He's demanding his latest prenup include a Iine-item veto." "There it is." "AII right, two groups." "You guys there, we stay here." "I wanna be in the other group." "Why?" "The Kung Pao chicken." "Get the Kung Pao chicken and come back here." "Let's go." "So I found out about a year ago." "Two nights before the State of the Union  he had an attack." "He did?" "When he passed out in the Oval Office." "That was an attack?" "I thought it was the flu." "It wasn't." "How is it poss--?" "How is it possible that this was kept a secret?" "First of all, who else knows?" "You're the 1 6th person." "Who else?" "I'II tell you some of them, I won't tell you all of them." "Why not?" "Because it's not entirely my business." "I'm not sure of my footing here." "The president will be off the phone in a minute and in the meantime..." "...you'II take what I give you." "It's not entirely your business?" "The first lady." "The doctor, radiologist, the specialist, the kids." "Who else?" "That's it for now." "He took a physical." "Those doctors were from eight years" "He took a physical" "It's in remission." "It doe'sn't show up during a physical." "It's in remission, nobody lied." "Nobody lied?" "Nobody." "Nobody lied?" "Is that what you've been saying to yourself over and over for a year?" "Leo, a deception of massive proportion" " I can't even" "He gets a physical twice a year at Bethesda." "His doctors are Naval officers." "Are you telling me officers are involved in this?" "These guys will be court-martialed." "Nobody-- Listen to me." "Nobody lied." "Nobody was asked to lie." "Coercion." "Nobody was asked to lie." "Officers, the first lady, surgeons." "Surgeon generals, for all I know." "The plural of "surgeon general " isn't surgeon generals it's surgeons general." "Like attorneys general or courts-martial." "Nobody was asked to lie." "That was Garreth from the FAA." "Upon interrogating Reda Nessam, they believe it's possible that another rental car crossed the border yesterday." "They believe it's headed to a safe house in Paterson, New Jersey and the FBI thinks they can apprehend him in 24 hours." "Of course, the only way all of this will happen is if Reda Nessam is telling the truth, so who wants odds?" "They' re still looking at forensic evidence and we'regonna talk again in a few minutes to decide if there's a credible threat." "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't hear that." "I said, we'regonna decide if there's a credible threat." "Why?" "What are you guys talking about?" "Hey." "How you doing?" "Have any idea..." "... how much longer Toby's gonna be?" "I don't." "Let me ask you." "You think this joke's funny?" "" I'm sorry the Speaker isn't here, he's up on the Hill in Iast-minute negotiations." "He's going over his prenup and he wants a Iine-item veto. "" "Well, I think it's pretty funny, but" "What?" "I wouldn't do it." "Why?" "I think it's gonna call attention to the first lady not being there." "Where's Mrs. Bartlet gonna be?" "She went back up to Manchester." "She's not coming to the Correspondents' Dinner?" "Probably not." "Charlie, what's going on?" "Sorry." "AII right." "You don't know when Toby's out?" "No." "AII right, here we go!" "" Equality of rights under the Iaw shall not be denied or abridged  by the United States or any state on account of sex. "" "What's the joke?" "It's not a joke." "It's the Equal Rights Amendment." "When did that come back?" "Read what these guys have." ""Shall not be abridged or denied on account of sex. "" "Very dangerous language." "This must be stopped." "What could possibly be your problem with the ERA?" "It's redundant." "Why are we talking about the ERA?" "She's doing a thing." "But it's not back or anything, is it?" "Certainly not if Phyllis Schlafly over here has her way." "Look." "It's redundant?" "I'm a Iow-maintenance lady." "I got the 1 4th Amendment, I'm fine." "How about--?" "The 1 4th Amendment, which says that a citizen of the United States is anyone that's born here, that's me and that no citizen can be denied due process." "I'm covered." "Make a law for somebody else." "Here's a joke based on the premise that the party afterward is hard to get into and that the president is the commander in chief."

"Mrs. Bartlet might not be there." "Okay." "AII right, so we'regonna be fine here." "Y eah, we'redoing great." "We're doing great, everybody, right?" "Sam, we've got one here, but it involves a John Wayne impersonation..." "...and a sock puppet." "Y eah." "We're eating it." "Leo said you had an attack last year." "Leo said you had an attack last year." "Couple of nights before the State of the Union." "Wasn't that also the night you saw satellite pictures of India moving on Kashmir?" "India and Pakistan were staring each other down, control of some nuclear weapons  had been put into field." "So in the middle of a-- I don't know what you call it." "An episode." "You were in the Situation Room as commander in chief." "I know." "I can't believe we'reall still here." "Mr." "President" "The episode was over." "Leo was with me, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs was with me as were the secretaries of State and Defense." "Do you receive medication?" "I'm sorry?" "Do you receive medication?" "I get injections of Betaseron." "From whom?" "From a doctor." "None of your current doctors are aware of your condition." "Mr. President is your wife medicating you?" "I think it would be best while temperatures are running a Iittle high that you refer to my wife as Mrs. Bartlet or the first lady." "Y es, sir." "What do you got, Leo?" "They'd Iike a few more minutes." "The FAA?" "T alk me through what " heightened security" means." "Well, they deploy more uniformed police and the dogs they hand search luggage." "And they discontinue...." "Curbside check-in, yeah." "eliminate the first two rows of short-term parking." "Okay." "They want a few minutes?" "Toby's concerned that the peaceful solution I brokered in Kashmir last year was the result of a drug-induced haze." "I was there with him." "So was Fitz." "So was Cashman, Hutchinson, Berryhill" "Well, that's fantastic." "Toby." "None of you were elected!" "I was elected, they were appointed." "Vice president was elected." "He has the constitutional authority..." "...to assume my" "He didn't last May when you were under general anesthesia." "That's because I never signed the letter." "I don't think I got shot because I got MS." "No, I don't think you did either, sir." "I meant that during a night of extreme chaos and fear when we didn't yet know if we'd been the victims of domestic or foreign terrorism, or even an act of war there was uncertainty as to who was giving the national security orders and it was because you never signed a letter." "So I'm led to wonder, given your condition and its lack of predictability why there isn't simply a signed letter sitting in a file someplace." "And the answer, of course, is that if there was a signed letter sitting in a file someplace somebody would ask why." "The commander in chief had just been attacked  he was under a general anesthetic a fugitive was at large, the manhunt included every federal state and local law enforcement agency." "The Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware  National Guard units were federalized." "The KH-1 0s showed Republican Guard movement in southern Iraq." "And 1 2 hours earlier an F-1 1 7 was shot down in the no-fly and the vice president's authority was murky at best." "The national security advisor and the secretary of state didn't know who they were taking their orders from." "I wasn't in the Situation Room that night, but I'II bet all the money in my pockets against all the money in your pockets that it was Leo." "Who no one elected!" "For 90 minutes that night there was a coup d'état in this country." "And the walls came tumbling down." "I feel fine, by the way, thanks for asking." "Sir" "No, Leo." "Toby's concern for my health is moving me in ways" "Mr." "President" "Shut up!" "You know, your indignation would be a Iot more interesting to me..." "...if it weren't quite so covered in crap." "Sir." "Mr. Garreth." "Thanks." "Are you pissed because I didn't say anything or are you pissed  because there were 1 5 people who knew before you did?" "I feel fine, by the way, thanks for asking." "Take the call in here." "We'II step outside for a minute." "Yeah, this is the president." "Self-deprecation." "Y es." "Self-deprecation is what we need." "Y es." "Self-deprecation is the appetizer of charm." "We need jokes about the staff." "Y es." "Let's start with you." "Problem is, there aren't many jokes you can make about me." "How about this: " Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Sam and his prostitute friend. "" "See, I think that was a bit of misdirected anger." "I'm okay with that." "Well, in that case." ""Ainsley, you know why I got you flowers in April instead of February?" "Because you ditched me the first time around to go back to the guy who ditched you the first time, only to have him ditch you..." "...the second time around. "" "The hell?" "That was him." "He was being you." "Well, in fairness, I think everybody should have a turn." "Sam is there anything we can pull, anything funny we can recycle?" "Y eah, pull something I wrote called :" ""Government-wide Accountability for Merit System Principles. "" "That one was a barnburner, was it?" "Do you have any idea how much grief I took from him when I came back?" "How much?" "None." "I walked in the door  he said, "Thank God." "There's a pile of stuff on the desk. " This is his way." "He's just gonna snark me every April." "Prince of passive-aggressive behavior." "What doe's "snark" mean?" "I don't know, but he's doing it." "There any coffee left?" "In the mess." "Anybody want anything?" "Think they have cheesecake there?" "It's quarter after midnight, the pastry chef usually stays on until dawn." "I'II go see what there is." "You know, we should make a joke about women  because there's no law against that or paying them less money than men." "Well, there is a law against that, the Pay Equity Act." "It was passed in 1 964 when women were making 59 cents to the dollar." "What are you making now?" "79 cents." "So everything's fine." "No, there are still some problems  but I'm not worried because the federal government's coming to the rescue." "Look" "You think pay disparity is because some sexist in human resources hired two people for equal positions..." "...and paid the man more?" "Oftentimes women" "And oftentimes women make less money over their lifetime..." "... because they choose to." "Oh, good night, nurse." "They don't choose to make less, they' re financially punished for having kids." "They made a choice to have kids." "Well, not necessarily if you guys have your way, but that's a different can of tuna." "I flat out guarantee you that if men were biologically responsible for procreation there'd be paid family leave in every Fortune 500." "If men were biologically responsible for procreation, they'd fall down..." "...and die at the first sonogram." "If the amendment's redundant what's your problem if it's passed or not?" "Because I'm a Republican." "Have we met?" "I believe every time the federal government hands down a law, it leaves for the rest of us a Iittle less freedom." "So I say, Iet's just stick to the ones we absolutely need in order to have water come out of the faucet and our cars not stolen." "That is my problem with passing a redundant law." "Sam?" "The all-night pastry chef you were just kidding, right?" "He's still on with State in the residence." "So Hoynes knows." "Hoynes is one of the 1 6?" "And he thinks the president won't run again." "He thinks there's a chance." "Will he?" "Will the president run?" "Where's the first lady?" "Up in Manchester." "Why did she come to me after the State of the Union?" "Why's she mad at the president?" "Because the State of the Union set up the re-election run and somehow she's under the impression that's not supposed to happen." "The first Iady" "I have no investigative mind." "Zero." "T ook me six days and 23 minutes to figure it out." "He'II run." "Y eah, because we stood in that office a couple months ago, you and I and you said, "Take my hand." "We just--"" "Never mind." "He'II run." "Hoynes was 1 4, who was 1 5?" "Dr. David Lee." "The anesthesiologist at GW." "He had to know about the Betaseron." "Getting back to Hoynes" "Leo, I need you to look at me and tell me the doctor's not under any kind of surveillance." "The doctor's free to talk to whomever he likes." "I'm sure we'regonna find that out soon enough." "He's not gonna leak it." "Someone will." "Toby" "Leo, Hoynes left bread crumbs." "He wanted me to find out." "A camping trip to Killington?" "That was a jackass move." "I don't think it was." "He may be the only one who's acting responsibly." "T o who?" "The Democratic Party." "Seven and a half months till the Iowa caucus and no one's been told the president might not be the nominee." "He's gonna run." "He may not have that option, Leo." "When this story breaks, it'II be because we broke it." "And we'II control it." "And the public will accept it." "It's not Iike it's unprecedented that a president conceal health issues." "What do you think is gonna happen?" "I mean it." "What do you think is gonna happen?" "Well  I suppose one of five things." "The president can decide not to run." "He can run and not win." "He can run and win." "And what are the other two?" "Leo" "You think he's gonna need to resign?" "There's gonna be hearing..." "... upon hearing upon hearing." "He hasn't broken a law." "The president's on his way back." "Thanks." "Says you." "And you don't have to break the Iaw to get served with Articles of Impeachment." "Toby, it is never gonna get that far." "Write down the exact date and time you said that." "See, the thing about me is that mine is a dry wit." "And a dry wit, Iike a fine martini, is best enjoyed...." "Yeah, nowhere to go there." "What the hell took so long?" "We got the coffee, but then I spilled it coming up the stairs..." "...the first couple times." "Where's Josh?" "You sent him to get the thing." "For how long?" "I've had time to spill coffee, you know, a Iot." "I'II find him." "So, guys?" "I made a decision downstairs." "I'm gonna register with the Republican Party." "If you' re curious, it's because..." "...they are a freedom-Ioving people." "We also like beef." "You insist the government is depraved for not legislating against what we can see on newsstands or what we can see in an art exhibit what we can burn in protest, which sex we'reallowed to have sex with or a woman's right to choose, but don't you dare try and regulate this deadly weapon I have concealed." "That would encroach on my freedom." "And Democrats believe in free speech as long as it isn't prayer in school in the Freedom of Information Act except if you want to find out..." "...if your 1 4-year-old's had an abortion" "We believe in the ERA." "Well, go get them." "How can you have an objection--?" "Because it's humiliating." "A new amendment we vote on declaring that I'm equal under the Iaw to a man?" "I am mortified to discover there's reason to believe I wasn't before." "I am a citizen of this country." "I am not a special subset in need of your protection." "I do not need my rights handed down to me  by a bunch of old white men." "The same Article 1 4 that protects you protects me and I went to law school just to make sure." "And with that, I am going back down to the mess." "Because I thought I may have seen there a peach." "I could've countered that, but I'd already moved on to other things in my head." "Josh." "Well, that was predictable." "Yes." "I'm trying to find that speech Sam said." "You know, we keep them on computer." "Well, yeah, sure, I suppose" "You don't know how to use a computer." "Right." "Josh, Josh, Josh." "Y es?" "Joshua, Josh, Josh." "What the hell is happening now?" "You feel, I believe, that this job was my second choice." "Hey, I'm just grateful we were your last choice."
