It's a bitch being Chief of Staff, Mike. I'm sure you'll find someone to hang out to dry before POTUS comes after you. 参谋长可不好干，迈克。我相信你能找到替死鬼，不会让总统冲你来的。

Listen, how sure are you that this market hit wasn't an attack on our economy? Terrorism? 听着，你有多大把握认为这次市场打击不是对我们经济的攻击？不是恐怖袭击？

I'd like to discuss this and other more pressing matters with your immediate³ superior, the President. 我需要与你的直接上司美国总统探讨此事以及其他迫切事宜。

Okay, then. The party's over. Jeanie! Get a hand in here? This kid's AWOL from the tour and then some. 好吧，闹够了。珍妮！来帮一把？这孩子参观的时候跑丢了。
