Jed gets up and walks out on to the portico with Charlie following him. Jed claims that he has five secretaries, not to mention the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, and Education. ["Man, it would rule if Jed called up the Secretary of Defense and made him go get Jed a good pen." -- Wing Chun] Charlie persists: "Sir, things are getting missed. It's nobody fault, and everyone's been trying to cover, but things are getting missed." Jed insists that things have been fine. He tells Charlie he's going to have dinner, and that he'll be back in the office afterward. He asks whether Charlie's going to get some dinner; Charlie says he will, down at the mess. Jed walks off toward the Residence, I suppose; Charlie calls out, "Mr. President?" Jed stops and turns: "Yeah?" Charlie says, "She put the pen in your pocket. Every morning. She slipped it in there." Jed doesn't say anything; he just walks away.
