Howdy there, Mr. Lee.
What's this? Filipino New Year's?
No. Why you say that?
'Cause you're cooking a feast.
I can smell it from the interstate.
What is that? Barbecue?
Yeah. But it not coming from here.
What is that noise?
What is your take on this, Jerry?
The people will love it, Mr. President.
Our conflict is whether we ambush the 6:00 news or hold out for prime time.
Screw the press. This is a need-to-know situation.
We should make it top secret, and should move in with Defcon Four.
We can't sit on this.
General Casey, do you have an opinion?
Well, sir...
...do we know they are hostile?
What do you mean?
They have the planet surrounded by thousands of warships!
Do we know they're warships?
Professor, what do we know about them?
They're very advanced technologically.
Which suggests, rightfully so, that they're peaceful.
An advanced civilization is, by definition, not barbaric.
Mr. President...
...this is a great day.
I and all my colleagues...
...are extremely excited.
Good.
Extraterrestrial life.
You're right, Jerry.
The people are going to love it.
This is a momentous occasion.
Mr. President--
We'll go all media on this.
I'll wear my Cerruti suit.
I'll need a good speech.
Statesman-like...
...historical and yet...
...warm, neighborly.
Abraham Lincoln meets Leave it to Beaver, kind of thing.
Are they too old-fashioned?
No, I don't think so.
This has got the colors but, no. I don't think so.
Not vivid enough.
Nancy had this in the library.
Yes, indeed.
I don't think so.
I thought perhaps the watered silk. This week it's on sale.
I hardly think I need worry about that.
My husband is the leader of the free world.
What do you think?
Why don't you leave the Roosevelt Room the way the Roosevelts wanted it.
Because Eleanor Roosevelt was too fond of chintz. That's why.
Mother, this isn't your house.
lf you're going to be a pest, I'll ignore you!
Mrs. Dale?
I saw you fight Sonny Liston in ' .
Really?
You were a nun back then?
We've always been fight fans, haven't we sisters?
Byron Williams, telephone.
I must go.
You ladies have a nice time.
Oh, Louise.
Sorry to call you at work, but...
...the boys haven't been home in two nights. I don't know what to do.
You're doing the best you can.
They're just at that age.
The casino manager's giving me the evil eye. I've gotta go.
I'll call you later, okay?
