[ 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. - ## [ Band: "Hail to the Chief" ]

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 3,000 miles away for nothing.
- [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.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks a lot, guys.
We hope to see you there, Ms. Mackenzie.
Thankyou.
How do you look in a bikini, Bock?
Hmm.
"They had already poured the sum total oftheir knowledge into his waiting vessel;

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.

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.

- Don't tell me he's too busy. I need to talk to him. - You look great.

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.

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...

Or maybe it's just right under our noses. What's going on there?
Sam, I don't think that's a party.

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.

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.

Can we hear what you have to say, or do you only do what Daddy tells you?

Well, I think my father's administration...
gives a great deal of attention to his domestic agenda.

I thinkyou really need some serious parenting advice.

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.

Yeah, I can-- I can definitely see howyou do whatyou do.
I will. Bye.

Okay. But the difference is he's my president and he's your father.

Oh, no, come on.
How do I know this wasn't just a one-time thing?
Probablywasn't even a date.
Let's find out.
[ Breathily] "James, bonfire...

Go, Redmond... Knights!
[ Cheering, Whooping ]
Redmond's in the house!
Everybody clapyour hands. Yeah, Red! Red!
I know you love a good bonfire, Dylan.
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 on defense.
- [ 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?
[ Chuckles ] 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.
I'm not the First Daughter.
I really like it.
You're just--
So areyou. [ Giggles ]
All right then, let's get back in there.

I knowyou're mad at me right now, but I kissed him.
Oh, sorry. I'll just--
No, Sam, stay.
Really?
Yeah, really?
I really need to hang out with my roommate tonight.
You should go.
All right.
I know I'm hard to live with.
I knowyou didn't want to be my roommate.
Come with me.
- Hey. - Hi.
Oh, my God. I can't believe it. It's you! You're here in my room.
Sam, allow me to introduceyou to our dorm mate...

You mean, my every need? My everywhim?
Absolutely.
Because I can be whimsical.

So that means that, uh, it shouldn't be too hard...

And then when we land, we'll find something to wear.

Was there anybody who didn't know except for me?
I feel so humiliated.
Do you know that every day I get...
at least a half a dozen threats against you-- every day?
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.
[ Sighs, Quietly] Oh, man.
Hon, I knowyou thought he was your friend.
Ifyou want, [ Inhales ] we can replace him.
Won't he lose his job?
He'll be transferred from First Family detail, but no.
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.
That is what is so disappointing.
I thought I'd finally found someone who'd like me for me.
So how doyou know his feelings foryou weren't real?

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?

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...

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.
