First Daughter (2004)

##[Girl Vocalizing]
[ Giggling]
[ Girl Continues Giggling]
[ Man Narrating]
Once upon a time, there was a little girl--
- [ Girl Giggling ]
- just like any other little girl.
- And like most little girls--
- [ Girl] I gotcha!
she loved collecting
beautiful things.
Look it what I have.
Always sharing them
with her friends.
Hel lo.
Come on over and meet
my friends, Hoppers.
She would throw the most amazing tea
parties for her very closest companions.
Mr. Elephant, have you met my daddy?
He's the governor, you know.
- And then it happened.
- [ Man Introducing President ]
You know that awkward
but typical time oflife...
- when you feel like every eye is on you--
- [ Man ] Mackenzie!
Iike you're the main attraction
in a three-ring circus.
That's right.
She became a teenager.
But eventually,
she made it through.
And as she blossomed, she became
more comfortable with herself.
- There she is. Hey, Sam. How you doi ng?
- H i, Dad.
H i, sweetie. I 'd like you to meet--
And like most teenagers,
she enjoyedparties...
- andpizza.
- Enjoy.
- Thanks.
- And like herpeers...
she often felt as ifher every move
was scrutinized.
- Hold it right there.
- Big smile, Sam.
Mom, prom ise me you would never let me
leave the house looking like that.
Never! It looks like she found
Chelsea Clinton's old crimping iron...
and Amy Carter's Sassoons.
It's like a terrorist
got a hold ofher.
I don't know what's going on.
But what doyou think?
What is the worst outfit thatyou have
everseen Samantha wear?
- I'll bet it's gonna be close.
- I bet it is too.
There have been
a lot of lousy outfits.
IfMac is back, get in there
and clean outyourkid's closet.
- [Narrator] But with maturity...
- Thank you.
- [ Speaking French ]
- she was able to look outside herself...
and appreciate the wisdom
ofher elders.
And I 'll tell you something.
Decades in politics give you...
special life skills, Sam.
Like an excellent poker face.
- [Laughs ]
- Not bad, Senator Downer.
- Thankyou for the tip.
- [Laughter]
[Narrator]
In short...
- she grew up... happily...
- Good night.
- with the love ofa father...
- Good night, Sam.
- and a mother...
- Seeyou in the morning, sweetheart.
who she thought
were the center ofthe world...
in an old white house...
they called home.
##[ Man Singing Swing ]
Lucky Charm's on site.
- ## [ Continues ]
- Somethi ng wrong with Sam.
[ President ]
Are you sure? It's an election year, remember?
[ First Lady]
She could use a little down time.
Starti ng November 5,
she can have all the down time she needs.
[ Woman ] Mr. and Mrs. LatifMoratee,
President Mackenzie, First Lady...
- Samantha.
- Hello.
- Good to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, Samantha.
- [ Foreign Language ] Please.
- [ Foreign Language ]
This way.
We have press conference
at 9:00. To Marine One, 9:1 5.
To AirForce One at 1 0:00.
Travel time, four hours, 59 minutes.
Twenty-five minutes
to destination Redmond Univ--
Hold that thought, Liz.
[ Sighs ]
Let's pretend that tomorrow
I'm heading offto college.
- Mm-hmm.
- I grab my bags, which I packed myself.
I throw them into
my adorable collegiate car...
next to my cooler that has a beer hiding
underneath the bologna sandwiches.
My parents cry.
Their only child is growing up and so forth.
And then I do it.
I drive offlike the normal,
run-of-the-mill kid that I am.
You'restillaprincess.
Youshouldat least weara ball gown.
Ignorance is bliss.
What can I say?
I say, good night,
normal, boring girl.
And you better hide that beer,
because under the sandwiches--
that's the first place
they'll look.
- Duly noted.
- Goodnight.
- [Door Closes ]
- [ Sighs ]
[Running Footsteps ]
Did you take the southern route
through the stairwell...
or the northern route
through the access hall?
- Eastern route.
- Oh!
Two elevators, one moving walkway,
turn left at the Lincoln arches.
- It's lesser-known, but very effective.
- Mm-hmm.
Eastern route's one of
my favorites, actually.
And that Lincoln arches thing
is a very nice touch.
You know, ifyou're gonna
eat this cake...
you have to pay the toll.
- Inflation.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, you should really
do something about that, Dad.
Mm-hmm.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
- Not the dancing.
- Dancing.
## [ Humming ]
- Ready?
- Ready.
Good.
- I need to say something.
- Okay.
About tomorrow.
- I was thinking--
- Mm-hmm.
and maybe I should go alone.
- Really?
- Yeah. I mean...
it's hard enough to blend in, having a team of
Secret Service men carrying my books, then--
Uh-huh.
All I'm saying--
I just wanna be
like everybody else.
Sam, you're not like
everybody else.
Ready?
It's the big finish.
Here it comes.
Yes! Yes.
Theywon't askyou about policy.
They'll probably askyou about...
your expectations, your hopes,
your major, and you'll say--
Don't worry, Liz. I'm set.
Does anyone have my--
- Got it.
- Thankyou.
So, you're just like
any other American family.
Whose daughter is
heading offto college.
Remember, todayyou're not just
the First Lady, butyou're also a mom.
I'd like to think
I'm both women every day.
In short, you're just a proud dad.
Like every other dad...
watching his little girl
head offto California for college.
You can segue intoyour education
reform initiative from there.
And time permitting, Mr. President,
the California Youth Literacy Program.
- It's not a stump speech.
It's about my daughter.
- Right.
Mr. President,
how doyou feel aboutyour only child...
going to school
so far away?
Well, uh, I could suggest
moving the nation's capitol to California.
- [ Laughter]
- Samantha, will you miss D.C.?
Andbetteryet,
what willyou miss least?
Wow. That's a tough one.
Well, I can't tell you
what I will miss the least...
but I can tell you
what I will miss the most.
That is my friends
and my family.
But I am very excited to experience life
as a normal kid...
having a normal
college experience.
- Thankyou.
- [ Press Secretary]
Thankyou. We don't have any more time.
- Thankyou very much.

Game time.
- [Woman ] Hi, Sam.
- [ Cheering]
You know, hon,
it's not too late to call Georgetown.
Live at home.
Free laundry.
Dad, I didn't choose a school
- [President] Roommate's name?
- [First Lady] Mia Thompson.
Parents Janet and Kyle.
Divorced.
Both strong supporters
in the polls.
I heard that.
Well, that's odd.
Theywere supposed to be here by now.
Once I heard a rumor, Mom, that there are
actually some people out there....
that don't live
a minute-by-minute schedule.
How do they live?
Roommate's caught in traffic.
E.T.A. is 1 0 minutes.
She should at least get the good bed
ifshe has to live with me.
Did you check
that itinerarywith Liz?
- For?
- Well, there are just a few small functions...
your father and I thought
thatyou might enjoy attending.
Yeah. Uh, do I have a choice?
Sir.
- Oh, yeah. Honey--
- Already?
Likeyou're not chomping at the bit
for us to get outta here.
Well, the President
and the First Lady, yes.
[ Sighs ]
Mom and Dad? Not so much.
Let's go.
You've got a campaign to run.
- Three, two, one.
- ## ["Hail to the Chief"]
You remember, a full load oflaundry
dries faster than half a load.
Always take the stairs.
Don't sweat the pettythings.
Yeah, don't pet
the sweaty things either.
And your fatherwill be here
all... week campaigning.
- Ifyou need anything, call Liz.
- I'll be fine. Thankyou.
You'll be great.
Okay, look at me,
at a loss forwords.
Just tell meyou'll miss me, Dad.
[ Kisses ]
So, when the election's over, uh,
we'll spend some time together.
A whole day, 24 hours.
In a row?
Promise.
Be a good kid.
[Boy]
Hey, Sam.
- Please be mellow.
- On one condition.
Could we major in something fun?
I'm really hoping we're not premed.
Light on the math.
Zip it, Bock.
And, Dylan?
Especiallyyou.
Not anotherword.
[Hinge Creaks ]
[Zipping]
Look, ifyou're gonna be going through
mystuff, at leastyou can help me carry it.
Are you aware there are two huge
individuals with stun guns...
sticky hands and no manners
flanking our door?
- You must be Mia.
- And you're not Linda.
[PaperRustling]
Redhead. Paterson, NewJersey.
Plays trombone.
Surprise.
I'm Samantha Mac--
You're not as tall in person.
I'm really excited about this year.
There's so many things I wanna do.
- No offense, Miss Mackenzie--
- Samantha.
Samantha--
but I have a plan...
- of college.
- That's great.
Look, I'm just trying to have
a normal college experience, okay?
- All I want is normal, Mia.
- Right.
I'm going to
the housing office.
They said you were the kind of girl
who was up for anything.
I'm disappointed.
- You're manipulating me.
- Yes.
It's kinda working.
Please, Mia.
Just give it a shot.
That's all I'm asking.
Well, the situation
could have its advantages.
Absolutely.
Like, in case ofa national emergency...
guess who gets a free seat
on the chopper?
I was kind ofthinking your Secret Service
could get us beer.
- You can forget about that.
- We'll work on it.
Mia Thompson,
Arkansas royalty.
I didn't know they had
royalty in Arkansas.
Course we do.
My dad's a king.
I mean, he's had
a few queens since my mom, but--
You know, Tire King--
best seller ofthe South?
Cool. This is Bock. Dylan's outside.
They're protecting us.
Could that involve tackling me?
'Cause the bald one's a little sexy.
And you can forget
about that too.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah.
Look, bonus points for giving me the good bed.
I likeyou already.
But just to letyou know,
don't kiss my ass.
'Cause I certainly
won't be kissing yours.
Mia, I likeyou already.
It's our first day.
I'm trying to have fun.
Why don'tyou change clothes?
We can go hang out. Go to some parties.
Meet some guys.
Definitely meet some guys.
My night's scheduled already.
I thought I looked okay, no?
Oh, yeah, sure. Ifyou're trying
to hang out with the dean.
Miss Mackenzie, Ispeak
forthe entire faculty...
when I say,
"Welcome to Redmond. "
And I assure you
that you'll be treated just like any student...
just the minute we conclude
this elaborate party in your honor.
[Woman ] In the sense theywould
support preferredpolicy.
Ofcourse, the fundamental
importance ofagenda control...
was established by McKelvey...
i rrespective of i m pl ications
for the fi nal outcome.
In fact, one ofhis
most notable papers showed...
that the one person, one vote...
system ofvoting...
did not always lead to a middle ground
in decision making.
The manipulation ofagenda could have
a great impact on policy making.
[ Continues, Fades ]
You m issed a great party.
- Sorry about that.
- Fortunately, I can provide you...
with another normal
college experience...
in which the roommate
kicks you out in the name of--
[ Grunts ]
higher education.
Can I just get my--
- Come back in two.
- Minutes?
Hours.
[DoorCloses ]
We'll be following the First Daughter
through her entire--
Did you see Samantha Mackenzie
arrive at college?
I'm notsaying the First Daughter
dresses badly...
but today, apparently Goodwill donated
some clothes, so I think that--
- [ Changes Channel]
- [Man ] With guaranteed results.
- [ Changes Channel]
- Ifyou have ring around the toilet--
- [ Changes Channel ]
- I llegal motion.
- [ Cheering ]
- Take a look at this.
- With embroidery on the sleeves.
With embroidery
around the neck.
- With a front closure.
- [Dylan Coughs ]
It's verybeautifully done.
Soft, all lines.
- [ Coughs ]
- Look at that embroidery
around the shoulder.
- And a slight shoulder pad.
- [ Clears Throat ]
And the Mandarin neckline.
This works great
with, uh, our tank top.
- [ Changes Channel]
- Taylor to the right. He 's got a hole.
He's got a bi g hole. And he's clear through
to the 45-yard line.
- He's still going. He's on his feet--
- Samantha Mackenzie?
Greetings, Ms. Mackenzie.
The Redmond chapter ofLambda Zeta Phi...
is pleased to invite you
to our annual plunge.
It's an invitation-only event.
Bathingsuits are mandatory.
Bikinis are preferred.
[ Chuckles ]
Thanks a lot, guys.
We hope to see you there,
Ms. Mackenzie.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.
How do you look
in a bikini, Bock?
Hmm.
"They had already poured the sum total
oftheir knowledge into his waiting vessel;
"andthe vessel was not full.
"his intellect was not satisfied,
his soul was not at peace...
his heart was not still. "
Well, uh, ladies and gentlemen,
I shall do my best...
to see to it thatyour intellect
is satisfied.
Andyoursoul is at peace.
Andyour vessel
is filled this semester.
For starters, would it be possible
to shiftyour attention to me?
I know I 'm not as pretty,
but, uh, come on.
- Work with me.
- Excuse me, Professor?
- Yes.
- I didn't see anything in the syllabus
about a vessel.
Uh, excuse me?
I see the books
that I'm supposed to buy...
but I don't see any mention
about a vessel of any kind.
- You said you were gonna fill one?
- [ Laughter]
Right?
I did. I didsaythat.
Thankyou.
Thankyou forpointing that out.
A veryliteral interpretation.
Thankyou very much. Uh,
"He had one single goal--
to become empty ofthirst"--
- [ Phone Keys Beepi ng ]
- Excuse me?
Excuse me.
I wanted to thank you
for rescuing me in there.
It was nothing.
Besides, you don't strike me as the kind
of person who needs rescuing.
I'm Samantha.
I know I'm taller in person.
Fatter, thinner, fill in the blank.
I get that.
Actually, I was gonna say
you look exactly like I thoughtyou would.
Bye, Samantha.
- We're moving.
- Not bad, Ms. Mackenzie.
You really shouldn't
objectify men like that, Mia.
- The boy is fine.
- Hi, Samantha.
Nice meeting you too. Hello.
##[Woman SingingSlow Latin Pop ]
## [ Continues ]
Just to be clear, I've never been
a plus-one before.
And it doesn't agree with me.
Thanks for coming, Mia.
I cannot believe how many cute guys
there are here.
Last time I was at a party like this,
I could only fill out a ruffled bikini.
Focus, Sam.
We are at a frat party.
You're right.
This is fantastic.
[ Sighs ] I think
I'm blending in too.
Absolutely. Look, is there anyway
thatyour fake Men in Black boys...
can back off?

I'm sorry. I'd have more on...
but I wasn't exactly given time to,
I don't know, get my stuff.
[ Woman ]
I guess she likes California.
Look, I gotta go. Wow.
- Don't tell me he's too busy.
I need to talk to him.
- You look great.
- What's going on, Sam?
- He has got too many Secret Service
following me around.
- I can't take it anymore.
- Sam, it's an election year.
Remember that.
Tensions are high.Just take a deep breath
and let me handle it. Okay?
Calm down.
I'llsee ifhe has a minute.
- Create my own forum.
- [Liz] Mr. President?
- Liz?
- Your daughter's asking
for reduced security at college.
She's very unhappy, sir.
Um, can this wait?
- Go ahead.
- We'll invite the press.
- It's not a good time.
- Fine.
Just tell him I'll ditch the whole
college thing and become a Hooters girl.
- Good benefits, I hear.
- [ Sighs ]
- Sir?
- Yeah, it's-- Liz.
There is a precedent
for reduced security.
I recommend cutting back
from four agents to two per shift.
Keep detail on the floor,
but not stationed at the room.
Sir, she's miserable.
Okay.
Be right back.
Man.
I came this close to wearing
that exact bikini today.
Dad, ifyou wantyour daughter to have
any friends, we need to make some changes.
Yeah, well, I don't negotiate
with people in swimwear. Come here.
Dad, when Chelsea was at Stanford,
her Secret Service backed off.
They blended in.
Theywore Birkenstocks.
Sam, I want you
to listen to me.
A navy blue suit with Birkenstocks
is a really bad look.
That was another time.
This is a real different world
we live in, Sam.
It is not like I am sleeping around
and getting drunk, Dad.
Come on.
You were my age once.
All I am asking for
is a shred ofnormalcy.
I can't go out and party
like myfriends.
No.
No, you can't.
Forget it.
[ Exhales ]
[Woman ]
This is the California Headquarters--
Samantha. Samantha.
- You got it.
- What?
Go back to school. You're on a new diet--
Secret Service lite.
- Thankyou.
- And have fun.
Just not too much.
We got it from here.
And then there were two.
Finally.
Lunge at me. Hit me. Tackle me.
Come on, you knowyou wanted to.
We could just celebrate.
I've narrowed it down to three target areas...
- which, ifwe hit quickly--
- [ Crowd Cheering]
Or maybe it's just right under our noses.
What's going on there?
Sam, I don't think
that's a party.
While Mackenzie's racking up
his frequent-flier miles...
Samuels is right here,
right now at home.
Health care,
education, new jobs.
Just a few of the things
Samuels has been working on...
while Mackenzie's out of the office
and out ofthe country.
Taking moneyout ofourpockets again.
Next step: Out ofoffice.
- [ Crowd Cheering ]
- Whatever.
Samantha Mackenzie.
How good ofyou to join us.
Hey, ladies and gentlemen...
what do you say to some good
old-fashioned bipartisan debate? Huh?
Yeah, come on, Miss Mackenzie.
Get on up there.
What doyou say, Samantha?
Daddy's not here.
Can we hear what you have to say,
or do you only do what Daddy tells you?
[ Crowd]
Ooh!
[ Crowd Dejected ]
All right, there you go. Another Mackenzie
running away from the real issues.
- What was that?
- Freedom of speech.
They have the right
to express their beliefs.
Okay, the freedom goes both ways.
Why don't you get to speakyour mind?
- Fine. You wanna know what I think?
- Yeah.
Well, I think
my father's administration...
gives a great deal of attention
to his domestic agenda.
- Take his college tuition--
- Blah, blah, blah. End of sound bite.
It's kind ofhard to get that stuff
out ofyour head, huh?
Well, I know only one thing
that can definitely help.
What's that?
[ Yelling, Whooping ]
I should change.

- New York Post online.
Oh, no. I can't believe
I made the Post!
Mia Thompson,
ladies and gentlemen.
Suffice it to say, your father feels like
he gave you an inch, and you took a mile.
I know.
I-I completely understand. I'm--
Listen to me, Sam.
You cannot pull a stunt like this again.
[Whispering] Look, I don't know
whoyou're groveling to...
but the best thing about college
is you can hang up.
- Put him on.
- Are you crazy? He's on fire.
Look, Liz, I'll just say, "Dad, I love you.
This is unfortunate, but"--
- Go ahead. I'm listening.
- Hi, Dad.
Listen, I'm really sorry.
What wereyou thinking, Sam?
I know.
Yes, it's the roommate, Mia.
Just so we're clear, she's the one
in the really uncomfortable-looking--
- Thong.
- In a thong.
- Correct.
- Okay. Put her on.
[ Sighs ] Mr. President?
Mia Thompson here.
Now, with all due respect, although I do
thinkyour diplomatic skills are top-notch...
I thinkyou really need
some serious parenting advice.
Really?
You know what, Mia?
I could not agree
with you more.
- What?
- It's great to know...
my daughter is living with
such a sensibleyoung woman.
You've got that rare thing, Mia.
You know what it is? It's character.
Some people have it, some people don't.
You have it.
Really? Thanks.
Um, I mean, you too.
That whole China thing was real good.
Yeah, I can-- I can definitely see
howyou do whatyou do.
I will. Bye.
- He's good, isn't he?
- Yeah.
Next time, you should be
a little easier on him.
Okay. But the difference is
he's my president and he's your father.
Not when he's calling
from the Oval Office, he's not.
Oval Office, Schmoval Office.
At some point, every father's gotta
learn to let go ofhis little girl.
And every little girl's gotta
learn to let go ofher father.
How doyou do that, Mia?
[ Crowd Chanting]
Vote no. No Mackenzie.
Vote no. No Mackenzie.

Vote no. No Mackenzie.

- Ms. Mackenzie, one question, please!
- Back to your room.
- [ Clamoring ]
- How do you feel about the protestors?
[ Bock Yel I i ng, I ndisti nct ]
Mia.
Oh, please, is she in there?
- Mia, I need your help.
- [ Clamoring Continues ]
You. This is the R.A.'s room.
Good thing I'm the R.A. then.
- What happened to Stewart?
- Stewart preferred something
a little lower key.
You can find him down at the "C" Wing
ifyou need him.
Sorry to hear that.
So, it seems you need
a place to hide out a bit.
Seems I do.
They have to leave
sooner or later, right?
[ Man ]
When's she coming out?
I have a better idea.
Here. Put this on.
There. And this.
Wait here for one minute.
- [ Sniffs ]
- You need a Kleenex?
Oh, no, I'm fine.
Follow my lead.
[James ]
Hey, Mike, come on.
You gonna leave her in there?
Hey, Sam, stay as long as you want.
- [ Murmuring ]
- [ Woman ] Where is she?
- [Woman ] Thankyou verymuch.
- [Man ] You too. Good luck.
- Mmm.
- You hate it, huh?
It tastes like freedom.
I should warn you
I'm a very slow eater.
- It's terrible on the system to rush.
- Yeah, I can see that.
So, there will be
plenty oftime for discussion.
Starting with the topic ofyou.
Tell me something I don't know.
- Something you don't know.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Brazil's the only country
named after a tree.
Bagged lettuce thatyou buy in the store,
theywash it in chlorine.
The little parallelogram above
your top lip is called the filtrum.
Fiveyears or halfa decade
is a lustrum.
Every state in the Union
has a town named Springfield.
Male turtles grunt.
Female turtles hiss.
Difference between a fruit and a vegetable.
Off the vine, fruit ripens, a vegetable rots.
Spread your arms like this, middle finger
to middle finger is equivalent toyour height.
Distance from yourwrist toyour elbow
is the length ofyourfoot.
- Your ears and nose never stop--
- Growing?
- Right.
- [ Chuckles ]
So, I guess we're all
living Pinocchios.
And you still haven't told me
anything aboutyourself.
Trust me. I'm not
that interesting.
- Ask and see what happens.
- Oh.
- Thankyou for doing all ofthis.
- Excuse me.
Otherwise my husband
will never believe me.
Sure.
Oh,yourboyfriend
can be in the picture too.
- He's not my boyfriend.
- Oh.
You're such a beautiful young lady.
- Thankyou.
- And I'm so glad...
that you grew out of
that awkward stage.
And your bosom
came in very nicely.
- Would you like me to take the picture?
- No, no. I've got it.
Oh, that's nice.
Yes. Thankyou.
Really, don't feel obligated to tell me
anything about yourself.
Truthfully, one quick call
to the F.B.I. or the C.I.A....

The place used to be the gambling casino.
He likes it there

Mr. Murdock wasn't born there, but most
ofhis best friends were killed there.
You know the police used to
raid it and everything.
[ Chuckles ]
Your face.
No, no, you're al I right.
The look you get.
I t's like--
It's like the first time I rode my bike

It's likeyou're experiencing
everything for the first time.
I am.

- You need to try this.
Will Fats be surprised?
He's expecting us.

We have lots of time.

- You get the bags. I'll undress.
- Thankyou.
- Enjoy it.

Uh-uh.

directly over popcorn.
That wayyou get that delicious
salty sweet mixture...
and a little melted chocolate.
Sometimes you gotta

You never know when you're

Well, go on, Mackenzie.
Break the rules.

I know you love

Here's a tip. When you're having
a conversation with someone...
it's only polite
to let them get a word in.
[ Sam Chuckles ]
[Man ]A lot offolks, theywanna know:
What's that one specialsecret...
- forgetting a victory?
- Still no James?
Who was I kidding?
He's not interested.
He was just taking pity on me.
Give the guy a little leeway.
Between your dad...
and your portable set
of Men in Black action figures...
the boy's taking on
a huge job here.
...and that's all you people.
On behalfofthe Redmond Knights,
I wanna thank each and every one ofyou.
What we do on the field
would not be possible...
without whatyou do offthe field.
Are you al I ri ght?
Okay, I need backup.
I real ly I i ke this guy.
What happened to all the ones you've
been kissing since school started?
When I really like a guy,
it means I'm not gonna kiss him.
All right. Long story short,
we went to school together...
and I've loved him
ever since spandex was in.
I asked him to meet me
here tonight, but...
I never thought he would.
Your offensive captain,John Young.
Give it up forbig Buck Rich

- [ Cheering ]
- Hi, Samantha.
Welcome to Redmond.
Nice to meet you.
Excuse me.
It's always about you, Sam.
Mia, wait.
Where you going?
Supposed to hang out.
Hey, I'll seeyou later, all right?
##[Woman Singing Hip-hop ]
## [ Continues ]
So, Mia, did you talk to her
about rushing yet?
Not yet.
Hey, did you invite her to our party?
You still wanna invite her
afterwhat happened at the last one?
Are we supposed to salute
orsaythe Pledge ofAllegiance?
Hands off the roommate's personals.
Only I can touch 'em.
Dude, can't believe we're partying in,
like, Dorm Room One.
"Hey, Mia, what's she like?"
"Get to see her naked?"
"Can we all just stand in line
to kiss her ass?"
I'm so sick of all things Samantha.
[Man ] Does she have a boyfriend?
She is so hot.
- [Man #2 ] Oh,yeah.
- I don't believe that's any ofyour business.
## [ Continues, Indistinct ]
What's going on, Mia?
What's going on is
this isn't working out.
It's too hard.
Is it thatyou don't like living
with all the attention, Mia?
- Orthatyou don't like living without it?
- Excuse me?
I thinkyou're used to being
the center ofthings.
As a matter offact, I am.
Naturally.
Normally.
Whatyou got going on
is a whole lot of genetic limelight.
I think thatyou're acting
really unreasonably right now.
Sowhy don'twejust step outside.
Maybe calm down.
No, I'm not counting to 1 0.
I'm notwriting up some itinerary.
Right here, right now,
let's have this out.
And for once, Sam,
say something thatyou wanna say...
and not what someone wrote foryou.
Just beyou.
Whoever that is.
This from a woman who will kiss
anyone with lips...
but saves abstinence for the one person
she really cares about?
Well, you know what?
At least I can admit I'm messed up.
You're so desperate to make everybody like
you, you let people use me to get toyou...
and then you act like
you don't see what's happening.
You let people useyou,
regardless ofwhether I am around, Mia.
You make that choice all ofthe time...
so don't blameyour
genetically lit roommate.
And don't draw on my parents.
It's not nice.

Oh, you are.
I wouldn't wanna be friends
with me either. Mm-mmm.
Reduced security or not.
I just have to face it.
My life will never be normal.
And what exactly
is so bad about that?
The last time I had privacy
I was in utero.
[ Snickers ] Imagine what it's like to have
yourwhole life picked out foryou.
Imagine... never being alone
and always feeling lonely.
All I everwanted
was to get mykey...
get in a beat-up little Volkswagen,
and drive offto college.
You think I'm a silly, spoiled kid,
completely devoid of gratitude.
Actually, I think I completely understand
what you're going through.
- You do?
- This one time,
I won the class spelling bee.
I couldn't get from point "A "to point "B"
without people watching my every move.
I had to avoid the press,
the paparazzi.
And the women.
My God, the women, Sam.
The number of training bras
that were left in my locker...
could fill the support needs
of an entire country.
So, listen, about last night.
You're my R.A.
It's forbidden.
I get it.
It's actually not just the R.A. thing.
Oh, the otherthing.
Most guys have to deal
with meeting the dad.
Mydates have to charm
the commander-in-chief.
Note to fathers worldwide:
I n order to keep your daughters
from getting any action...

You were hoping to get some action?

You need some air?
I think I could use a little air.
I'll just go get changed.
Come on.
Shh. Shh. Shh.
- I got your shoes. Come on.
- Oh, thankyou.
[James ] Mydad used to take me
to a spot like this.
He would always say that
the world was a tough place...
and you needed total self-reliance
to survive it.
He must be proud ofyou.
Yeah, ifhe was,
he definitelywouldn't say so.
Let's sayyou do
pleaseyour father...
and you are completely successful
and completely self-reliant...
and you know that
he's proud ofyou.
Then what?
It's tough to imagine, right?
Because then you'd actually
have to figure out whatyou want.
You've thought
about this before, huh?
Every day of my life.
Excuse me.
- Let's get back in there.
- Come on. You all right?
- How doyou do that?
- What's that?
When I'm with you,
I'm just me-- Sam.

Do you know that every day I get...
at least a half a dozen threats

As your father, I couldn't live with myself
if something ever happened to you.
As a president...
this country can't afford to have
anything happen toyou right now.
What could I do, Sam?
What choice did I have?
You had the choice
to be honest with me.
You had the choice not to lie to me--
as my father and as the president.

Oh, man.
Hon, I knowyou thought
he was your friend.
Ifyou want, [ Inhales ]
we can replace him.
Won't he lose his job?

No-- Find another position.
But not the right position.
He's in line to work for me.
And, yeah, that's where most agents
want to end up.
No. He can stay.
I really hope someday
you understand this.
I do.

What if I was different? What if
I was just like everybody else,James?
How would you feel about me then?
You just don't get it.
Things aren't different.

Is it that bad?
You've gotta know that we are
in the race of our lives.
We were elected to set an example.
They expect more of us.
That's the life we've chosen.
I didn't choose anything, Mom.
And I didn't run for anything.
Nobody elected me, remember?
Like it or not, chosen or not...
you are the daughter
ofthe president ofthe United States.
Your father and I need you.
Now, we need to be the First Family.
You want me to leave school?
When President Harding was elected,
Florence Harding said...
"Warren, I gotyou the presidency.
Now what areyou gonna do with it?"
So, let's getyour father
the presidency... again--
see what he does with it.
It's his time.
You're asking me to join the campaign?
Mm-mmm. I'm not asking.

Good evening, miss.
I guess you heard,
Samantha Mackenzie raising money...
for her dad's reelection
one dollar at a time.
[ Laughter, Applause ]
Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
That's-- That's the big story.
Here's the best part.
The Secret Service agent...
who knocked out the guy at the bar
where Samantha was stripping--
Turns out, that Secret Service agent
is herboyfriend.
- ## [Fades ]
- [Audience ] Ooh!
And with the help of hard workin' people
like you, we can win this thing.
- Thankyou, Motor City!
- [ Cheering ]
[ Chanting] Mackenzie!
Mackenzie! [ Continues ]
[Man ] We're here to discussyourproposed
removal as a disciplinary action.
Your record is exceptional,
but looking at this report...
I have my doubts about your abi I ity
to conti nue as an agent.
I understand.
So please tell this panel why we should
allow you to continue as an agent.
My fatherwas an agent.
- And my grandfatherwas before--
- But they're not the ones
underreview here. You are.
And ifyou had a different father
or grandfather, you wouldn't
have this opportunity.
You know, as a little kid...
I always dreamt about standing on the
sidelines ofhistory, protecting others--
maybe even the president himself.
Well, I had the opportunity
to protect a pretty remarkable person.
Do you have anything to say
to defend your actions?
You trainedme
to expect the unexpected.
And I tried... not to feel anything.
I tried to keep my distance...
but I...
fell deeper... and deeper.
Ifhaving those feelings
means losing myjob...
then that's a loss
I am prepared to take.
You and I know that mistakes made in our
line ofwork could mean someone's life.
So I'm sorry.
You'll be on suspension
pendingyourremoval...
andyou shouldstart to think
about other alternatives.

[ Woman ]

- [ Chatter Continues ]
- And did she sign for them?
- Well, the only thing--
- Well, that's why we chose this venue.
- New Hampshire worked, right?
- We 're not in New Hampshire anymore.
- Most people want to hear
about foreign markets.
- Pardon me.
- Hey. How are you doin'?
- Good.
You okay?
Sam...
you're unhappy.
I get it. But ifyou're going
to be here, be here.
Because there's a lot at stake...
and I really need you to act
like a grown-up right now.
Obviously, I understand
there is a lot at stake, Dad.
I have been standing byyour side
with Mom my entire life.
That's why I came home.
You don't have to tell me how important
it is to be with the peopleyou love.
I am here. Ifyou want me to be
a grown-up, then you have to allow it.
[Tapping On Microphone, Feedback]
- What's goin' on with Sam?
- Uh--
- What is it?
- Well...
rememberwhen she was little
and she found that frog...
and we wouldn't let her keep it...
and she got that really stubborn little...
unbelievably cute look on her face?
- Yes.
- She just made that face again.
Man. Here I am about to go onstage--
she puts her old man in his place.
- Really?
- Yeah. Really.
And?
And, uh--

to her family-- embarrass it.
- [ Switch Clicks ]
[ Press Secretary] With all due respect,
now that we've just taken direct hits...
on the domestic agenda, and it's
the last push before the election--
It's too late to change our position.
I don't thinkwe should address it.
What doyou think, Sam?
- I don't really have an opinion, Dad.
- Really?
Areyou sure?
Well, I don't knowwhat could be
more important than home.
[Press Secretary] Ladies andgentlemen,

He's a good agent.
I'll see what I can do.

Did you love him?
I loved who I got to be with him.
Even though I didn't do
anything amazing, for me it was.

[ Chuckles ]
[ Both Chuckle ]
Dad, one thing you always taught me...
was to make sure that I'm always at home,
no matterwhat anyone else thinks.
It has to includeyou.
We all deserve a second chance.
It's okay.
[James ]
Give meyour left hand.
What areyou doing?

underneath the magic ofthe night sky...
a brazen little girl grew up
in a white house.
- It wasn't until she left
that house, however--

that she truly found home.
College-bound till spring, she'll be back

With romance in the air,
James will be there.
