President Andrew Shepherd:
[in the Oval Office]
Listen, are you hungry? I skipped breakfast. You wanna... have a doughnut? Coffee or something? Sydney Ellen Wade:
Sir, I'm a little intimidated by my surroundings. And yes, I have gotten off to a rocky and somewhat stilted beginning, but don't let that diminish the weight of my message. The GDC has been at every president for the last decade and a half that global warming is a calamity the effects of which will be second only to nuclear war. The best scientists in the world have given you every reason to take The GDC seriously, but I'm going to give you one more. If you don't live up to the deal you just made, come New Hampshire we're going to go shopping for a new candidate. [turns to leave] President Andrew Shepherd:
You can't do that, Sydney. Sydney Ellen Wade:
[starts to open door to a side room]
With all due respect, Mr. President, who's going to stop me? President Andrew Shepherd:
Well, if you go through that door, the United States Secret Service. That's my private office. Sydney Ellen Wade:
Ah. President Andrew Shepherd:
You have to go out that door, [points to his right] President Andrew Shepherd:
over there. [Sydney closes the door to his private office, crosses the room, and leaves]
