BARTLET
Leo, meet Congressman Peter Lien, Texas 22nd. Peter, this is Leo McGarry, U.S. Air Force, 144th Fighter Wing.
LEO
Pleased to meet you, Congressman.
BARTLET
Peter's family fishes in Galveston Bay, but they don't catch marlin. It's a sore spot, and he doesn't like to talk about it. Peter's 34 years old.
LEO
I'm sorry it's been two months and we haven't been able to get you up here until now.
LIEN
No, please. It's a bust time. If there's any help I can give you in Texas...
BARTLET
Ordinarily I would tell you that Jim Coor was a good public servant, and you've got big shoes to fill, and he was and you do, but obviously you have a bigger symbolic responsibilty then that.
LIEN
Yes, sir.
BARTLET
But you biggest responsibiltity isn't symbolic, right?
LIEN
Yes, sir.
BARTLET
What is it?
LIEN
It's my district, my country, and the Congress of the United States.
BARTLET
Welcome, my freind, to the show that never ends.
LIEN
Thank you, Mr. President.
They turn around to take picture of Congressman Lien shaking Bartlet's hands. Sam, Larry, Leo, and Bartlet watch the Congressman exit.
BARTLET
Isn't that a hell of a thing? What's next?
