Cyrus Beene: What is the rule when the president is out of the country?
Mellie Grant: Oh.
Cyrus Beene: All roads All roads lead to Fitz. All roads lead to Fitz, which means everything has to be about him, not you. You are not to make a single news story right now. Nothing. Don't start a recycling plan in the east wing. Don't comment on poverty or education or even puppies. If your water breaks, change your pants and cross your knees, because any news about you draws attention away from the leader of the free world, and his great big G8 conference. And if people aren't paying attention to the g8 conference, the president's whole trip starts to look like a massive waste of taxpayer dollars. So let's stay away from reporters. Sit on the bench for the good of the team. Okay?
