BARTLET
Galileo V.
BARTLET
Just the name...
C.J.
Galileo V!
BARTLET
You can feel the adventure.
C.J.
Yes, indeed.
BARTLET
NASA's great at naming things.
C.J.
They are.
BARTLET
Mercury, Apollo, Atlantis, the Sea of Tranquility, the Ocean of Storms...
C.J.
Good names!
BARTLET
First time I heard 'Galileo V,' the way the imagination immediately... It
reminded me of the way folks in my generation felt when we heard "Yellow Submarine."
We really did all want to live in a yellow submarine.
C.J.
I can't believe they gave you people drivers' licenses.
...
BARTLET
Say it again. Your imagination, like a child, will explode with unrestrained possibilities for adventure.
C.J.
[with gusto] Galileo V!
BARTLET
You didn't say it right.
C.J.
I said it fine!
BARTLET
Say it again.
...
TATE
Look, I don't want to step on your toes. You don't want to step on mine. We're both writers.
SAM
Yes, I suppose, if you broaden the definition to those who can't spell.
TATE
Excuse me?
...
C.J.
Sir, we're going to run you through the drill for tomorrow morning. First
of all, you'll be flanked on either side by the Flight Operations Manager David Narakawa and NASA Chief
Administrator Dr. Peter Jobson. On either side of them will be Dr. Samuel Thurman of the Meteorite Analysis team from the Johnson Space Center, and Dr. Joyce Grey-Sutton, Planetary
Geologist from Cal State Northridge. On these monitors you'll be seeing the images beamed back from the surface and on this computer screen you'll be able to read the questions being
sent in by the kids. I strongly urge you...
BARTLET
Yes.
C.J.
I strongly urge you...
BARTLET
I know.
C.J.
I strongly urge you, Mr. President, to act as moderator and pass the questions of to one of the experts on the panel rather than answer it yourself.
BARTLET
Yes.
C.J.
Would you like to see some of the questions?
BARTLET
We have questions in advance?
C.J.
Some of them. Would you put them on?
CREWMEMBER [OS]
Sure.
BARTLET
Katie, sixth grade, Green Oaks Junior High School, Austin, Texas, asks, "How old is the planet Mars?" That's a great question, Katie. The planet Mars is 4.6 billion years old.
C.J.
What did I just say?
BARTLET
I knew that one.
C.J.
Nobody likes a know-it-all!
BARTLET
Yes, God forbid, that while talking to 60,000 public school students, the President should appear smart!
C.J.
That's fine. Just don't show off.
BARTLET
I don't show off. [reads again] Stevie, fourth grader, PS 31, Manhattan, asks, "What is the temperature on Mars?" Well, Stevie, if one of our expert panelists were here, they would tell you the average temperature ranges from 15 degrees to minus 140.
C.J.
[looking through her papers] That happens to be wrong. It ranges from 60 to minus 225.
BARTLET
I converted it to Celsius in my head.
C.J.
Thank you.
BARTLET
Can I see the intro?
SAM
It's up on the Prompter.
BARTLET
[reads] "Good morning! I'm speaking to you live from the West Wing of the White House. Today we have a very unique opportunity to take part live in an extremely historic event which..."
Whoa, boy...
SAM
[waves and smiles] How you doing, Mr. President?
BARTLET
Who wrote this intro?
TATE
I did, sir. I'm Scott Tate from NASA Public Affairs.
BARTLET
[gets up and shakes his hand] Scott. "Unique" means "one of a kind." Something can't be very unique, nor can it be extremely historic.
C.J.
While we're at it, do we have to use the word "live" twice in the first two sentences like we just cracked the technology?
TATE
Look...
C.J.
We're also broadcasting in living color, right?
BARTLET
Sam?
SAM
Yeah.
BARTLET
[to Tate] He's gonna make some changes.
TATE
[following Sam] You're going to clear them with me?
SAM
I doubt it. [to a recording staffer] Write this: "Good morning. Eleven months ago a 1200 pound spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Eighteen hours ago..." Is it eighteen
hours ago? We're on the air at noon eastern.
C.J.
Yeah.
SAM
"Eighteen hours ago it landed on the planet Mars. You, me, and 60,000 of your fellow students across the country along with astroscientists and engineers from the Jet Propulsion Lab in
Southern California, NASA Houston, and right here, at the White House, are going to be the first to see what it sees, and to chronicle an extraordinary voyage of an unmanned ship called Galileo V."
BARTLET
[taps C.J. on the arm] He said it right.

It is incredible how idealistic this was. It feels like a different age.

@briansmith9439 6 лет назад

And somehow not so different - North Korean missile launches, trouble with public education, school vouchers, gun control, questions on global warming, and so on. Further, when this was made in the early 2000s, many of the issues were already decades old at that time and only being rehashed once again - for instance: gays serving in the military was an issue in the 1940s, the 1960s, the 1980s and, once again, at the time of this series. What is eerie was the trouble with the space shuttle Columbia not being able to safely reenter the atmosphere.

There's another reason not to use the word "live" the second time. They're talking about images they're receiving from Galileo. Those images aren't "live". They're being shared immediately, but they're still 18 hours in the past. Sam's line about them being the first to see the images is more accurate.

This show is really that good, but even more so, it speaks to a yearning to have leaders who are smarter than the rest of us and at the same time are men and women of conscience and good will. Naturally, I immediately found the entire episode on MAX and watched it through... and a few more after that. Aaron Sorkin sure knows how to write 'em good!

@LordBloodraven Год назад

I love how CJ seemed so stuck in the mud at the start of the episode, wanting to just nail a Presidential broadcast. Then, at the end of the episode, she found the theme they were struggling to find for the whole event. "We have, at our disposal, a captive audience of schoolchildren. Some of them don't go to the black board and raise their hand 'cause they think they're gonna be wrong. I think you should say to these kids you think you get it wrong sometimes, you should come down here and see how the big boys do it. (...) Some of them will laugh, and most of them won't care, but for some, they might honestly see that it's about going to the blackboard and raising your hand.... and that's the broader theme."

Just one example for why Rob L. should not have left TWW.

@tomsampson8084 3 года назад

The original concept of the show was to focus on West Wing staff. Rob Lowe was supposed to be the main character and star. He got relegated to a cast member so he finished his contract and left. I wish he wouldn't have done that because he was so good in the show. It was nice to see him come back for a couple episodes in the final season.

@TigDegner 3 года назад

Sam's interactions with Ainsley Hayes in general, and with Josh at the beginning of S02 were beautiful. But Rob Lowe was an otherwise forgettable pretty face. In light of Sheen's consistently show-stopping performance season after season, I think we'd all have been better off with a more capable actor in Lowe's place. TWW was supposed to be a vessel for Lowe, but his '90s appeal hasn't aged well. Insert anyone from the FRIENDS main cast and I honestly think they'd do better. To be clear: I'm saying characters from a sitcom would have been, at least, more entertaining. More ideally, someone with more than one-dimensional acting capabilities would have been cast to bring some depth to the role. TWW would have been better without Rob Lowe.

Just finally getting into this show. Been a Sorkin fan for years and I see why the show gets so much hype. This scene in particular with Sam making the new intro is such a standout though cause it uses this little bit of conflict between him and the NASA guy to show the difference between strong and week writers. While the NASA guy is trying to hyperbole and throw in big adjectives to make it seem like a big deal, Sam (and Sorkin) understand that in a moment like this, you don't need to make it seem bigger. He understands that the moment itself is already big, all he needs to do is tell you what's happening and you feel the weight of it all.

Please, please, oh Lordy, let there be a Jed Bartlet in real life to become the President of the United States of America in my lifetime.

I don’t know if we’re there quite yet. But we’re on the right track, that’s for sure!

I love this show, miss it a lot and how accurate it was but always bugged me he said nasa is great at naming things and then mentions The Sea of Tranquillity... NASA was formed in 1958 but the sea of tranquillity was named in 1651

@ 1:20 Cal State Northridge having a “Planetary Geologist” on staff + consulting with POTUS?! Hmm not seeing that happening in this universe. Wonder who wrote that and why? A nod to a friend?
