Good morning, mrs. Chapil.

Chapil: Good morning, mr. President.

Mr. Rothschild and ms. Mccall are in the office, sir.

They need to speak to you before scheduling.

Fine. Could you get me the number of a local florist?

Where do you want them sent?

I'll do it myself. I just need the number.

I don't understand.

I want the phone number of a florist.

You just want the phone number?

Yeah.

I don't understand, sir. Is there a problem--

I want to send some flowers. I want to do it myself.

I don't want to staff it out. Or issue an executive order.

I just want a phone number.

I'll get it for you right away, sir.

Good morning.

Good morning. Mr. President, we need 5 minutes of your time.

2 minutes. I just need to make a call.

Thank you, janie.

Who are we calling, sir?

I'm calling the organization of the united brotherhood

Of-it's-none-of-your damn-business, lewis.

I'll be with you in a second.

Yes, sir.

Ahh.

Yeah, hi. Good morning. How do I get an outside line?

[dial tone]

That was simple.

Janie?

Yes?

What's the president doing?

I'm sorry. I'm really not at liberty to say.

Yes, good morning. Is this carmen's house of flowers?

Good. I'd like to order some flowers, please.

Tell me, what is the state flower of virginia?

Does this have something to do with sydney wade?

I'm really not at liberty to say.

Well, is there anybody there who might know?

No, I'm not trying to be difficult.

Hang on, please.

Shepherd: Janie, what is the state flower of virginia?

Mrs. Chapil, state flower of virginia?

Dogwood.

The dogwood, sir.

Thank you.

It's the dogwood.

Really?

Hold on, please. [click]

Janie, the dogwood is a tree, not a flower.

Actually, it's a tree and a flower.

Are you sure? Yes.

Janie: Sir, it's a tree and a flower.

The dogwood is a tree and flower.

I'd like a dozen please.

Really? No dogwoods.

How about, uh, roses?

Simple, classic. 2 dozen?

Janie, I'm the president's senior domestic policy advisor,

It's important that I have a full understanding--

Shepherd: Janie, do you know where my credit cards are?

They're in storage in wisconsin

With the rest of your personal items.

Right. [click]

Perhaps it'd be better if you bill me for the flowers.
