The West Wing1999

President Josiah Bartlet:
You going to campaign on prescription drugs?

Sam Seaborn:
Our prescription drug bill - yes, sir - and our Medicare reforms and the Bartlet Energy Plan.

President Josiah Bartlet:
Sam...

Sam Seaborn:
Yes Sir?

President Josiah Bartlet:
It's okay to run away from me when you need to.

Sam Seaborn:
I would never, Mr. President. I simply would never do that. That's not how I'm getting votes.

President Josiah Bartlet:
I appreciate that, but that's not what I'm talking about. You disagreed with me on Medicare. I remember the meeting right here. Then you wrote a five page memo. Run towards yourself. I'm wrong about that. Walk. You're not going to be used to your surroundings.

Sam Seaborn:
Yes Sir

President Josiah Bartlet:
If you lose, you lose. But if you waste this, I'll kill you. I'll just kill you, Sam.
