Excuse me, Mr. President?
Leo had walked into the Oval office, interrupting the President's daily meeting with the security advisors.
Yeah.
Leo gave him a look and nodded his head indicating that he wanted to talk to him. President Bartlett recognised Leo's intentions and interrupted the officer and rose towards Leo's office. They leaned against the wall in between their doors.
Leo, these intelligence briefings...
I know
Some mornings I'm just nodding my head and that can't be good for anybody.
I know
I still haven't heard about the return of SG1. What's taking so long? They got the gate working years ago, why is it taking so long this time?
Sir, you gotta remember Captain Carter is the one who got the first gate running smoothly and she's the one stuck on another planet.
Yeah, I know. When they get back, remind me to make sure Captain Carter writes an instruction booklet on starting the gate. What'd you want me for?
Burnie Dawl had a heart attack.
No...
Yeah, he died about an hour ago.
He died!
On the way to the hospital...Bad timing
I'll say. Who knows so far?
We got it off the news.
Dammit
Yeah...
Watch Season 1, Episode 17 entitled 'The White House Pro-Am' for the rest of this conversation. Kudos to Aaron Sorkin for his writing on the West Wing; my only contribution to this scene is the mention of SG1.
