THE STATE DINNER
	C.J.: So, let me see if I have this. A hurricane’s picked up speed and power and is heading for Georgia. Management and labor are coming here to work out a settlement to avoid a crippling strike that will begin at midnight tonight. And the government’s planning a siege on 18 to 40 of its citizens, all the while we host a state dinner for the president of Indonesia. JOSH and TOBY: Yeah. SAM: You got it. C.J.: Amazingly, you know what I’ll get asked most often today? JOSH: What? C.J.: Sondra? SONDRA: I’m sorry, C.J.... C.J.: Black suede and velvet. Manolo Blahnik slides with a rhinestone and mother of pearl toe buckle. SONDRA: Thanks. CJ: You're a rabble rouser, you know that? You rouse rabbles! TOBY: We’re not telling them how to run their lives. SAM: “It’s time for your government to live up to the promises enshrined in the hearts and minds of your people as well as the laws of your land?” TOBY: Friendly reminder. DONNA: If you can't explain your business, the assumption is that you're a sorcerer. If you try to run, the assumption is that you're a sorcerer. So if anything happens, the prudent thing would be to stand there and calmly explain your business. JOSH: Well, prudent or not, once the scythe comes out, I'm probably gonna haul ass. TOBY: Mr. Gomez, you speak Batak. Is that correct? MINALDI: (translating) Senhor Gomez, o senhor fala Batak. Correto? GOMEZ: Sim. MINALDI: (to Toby) Yes. TOBY: As you just did, you also speak Portuguese? MINALDI: E como arabou de fazer, o senhor tambem fala Portugues? GOMEZ: Sim. MINALDI: Yes. TOBY: But not English? MINALDI: Mas nao fala Ingles? GOMEZ: Nao. MINALDI: No. TOBY: Okay. Those are two pretty tough languages, Batak and Portuguese... you might want to take a crack at English one day, seeing as how you live here. Okay? MINALDI: Okai. Sao linguas... TOBY: No. Don’t translate. Mr. Bambang, thank you for agreeing to meet with me today. MINALDI: Senhor Bambang, obregado por ter concorcado em vir me encortar. GOMEZ: Bapak Bambang, seta sen pordegad en es sa denesang pasa megoya. BAMBANG: Kembali. GOMEZ: Nao tem de que. MINALDI:You’re welcome. TOBY: Okay. JOSH: Sorry I’m late. I’m Josh Lyman. MINALDI: Desculpem o atraso meu nome e Josh Lyman. GOMEZ: Ma’af saya telat nama saya Josh Lyman. (Round of translations continue as TOBY whispers to JOSH.) TOBY: This is going to take a while. MINALDI: Pleased to meet you. JOSH: Are you enjoying the evening? (Translations start.) TOBY: Josh, this isn’t the best context for chit-chat. JOSH: Mandy is pretty upset. I didn’t do a great job. MINALDI: I didn’t like the salmon. TOBY: He’s answering a question from like a half hour ago. Mr. Bambang? BAMBANG: Why don’t we just speak in English? DONNA: You should keep in mind all the things I do right.
