CUT TO: INT. THE PRESIDENT’S BEDROOM – NIGHT

[Dean Martin song playing in background]

Love me, my love
And say you’re mine
Kiss me and hold me tight

BARTLET
I don’t want to intimidate you, but it turns out I’m the first Democrat in twenty years to make a clean sweep of the Plains states and I’m not just talking about Iowa and Nebraska.

ABBEY
Are you trying to turn me on now?

BARTLET
Yeah.

ABBEY
All right.
