[Not my best work, but here goes]

Bill Clinton's 1998 State of the Union Address:

[The President enters the Chamber, and is greeted by rancorous applause]

"Thank you! Thank... thank you, everyone! Thank you!"

[Applause ceases]

"I want to thank everyone here for welcoming me so. I've got to say, I've always felt something... fascinating about delivering the State of the Union. Even when I was in Arkansas, the feeling of just saying everything that I want to do, in front of the most hated branch of government...

[Laughter]

"...the most, um, hated branch of government... well, I guess it was exhilarating. And it still is. As a matter of fact, as you have all become aware, I've become more fond of speeches in general. In my opinion, it's... open speaking, as I said.

"During the last few years of my Presidency, amidst the terrorist attacks and the drug upsurge, and well, the investigation... I've, er, got to thinking about why I'm here, and what I should spend my remaining time in office on...

"... about time that we all just said, "your views are valid," and sat down and tried to get something...

"... really waste our time on unfruitful character attacks, rather than open debate...

"... cannot say that eventually, all of the prejudiced will change their minds, but...

"... cannot guarantee anything, but I will work tirelessly...

"... us enter the new millennium as a nation of Democrats, and Republicans, and liberals, and conservatives, and Catholics, and Protestants, and Jews, and Muslims, and whites, and blacks, and Arabs, and Latinos, and young, and old, and natural-born, and naturalized, and all Americans! Thank you!"

[The President exits the Chamber to rancorous applause]
 
"Hello?"

"Is this Senator Shelby's office?"

"Yes, it is."

"The Senator will receive a manila envelope, weighing approximately three ounces. It is not a bomb, I assure you. I would like you to warn the Senator not to open it at the Capitol, or at home."

"I'm sorry-"

...

"What is it, Rich?"

"This, my good friend, is proof of a murder."
 
"... fine, it's fine. All he got is a back-channel memo, with no specific names. Nothing concrete."

"Enough to get him to start investigating."

"Investigate what? We killed a Pakistani on foreign soil! He wasn't their President, was he?"

"He was an ISI agent, who was the designated liaison between his agency and ours. He frequently came into contact with the National Security Adviser, the Defense undersecretaries-"

"Doesn't matter. We'll... shift the blame."
 
"...National Guard Units remain on full alert at the Mexican Border after the escalation of violence..."

"...It's going to turn into civil war. The only question is, who will be the main factions?"

"...Latin America is experiencing a Thirty Years War..."

"...The campaign for 1998 has begun..."

"...North Korea has accelerated nuclear weapon development..."

"...Qaddaffi has started to pursue nuclear weapons..."
 
Situation Room:

POTUS: "This is not unusual."

SecDef: "No, sir, but it is disturbing. At the rate with which Tripoli and Pyongyang are moving, they could begin proliferation by the end of 1999."

POTUS: "Options?"

DCI: "I'd recommend we strike the Libyan facility. It's more vulnerable, and unlike the North Koreans they won't invade their southern neighbor in retaliation."

POTUS: "Let's hope, or else I'll have to go to New York and ask Ireland or Ghana to send troops to Chad."

SecDef: "Here are the plans for..."
 
SecDef: "A B-2 Spirit should do the job. It won't be like Desert Storm or Vietnam. By the time the Libyans figure out what happened it will be gone"

POTUS: "Like what we're using in Mexico now?"

SecDef: "Pretty much, although we're going to need a lot more powerful explosives for this"
 
"Why would you---we are sorry for the interruption! There are breaking news! Our Navy correspondent has confirmed that an American bomber STRUCK a compound in Libya, suspected of refining uranium! We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming."
 
"...with the shitstorm of the last year and a half, it's clear that Clinton is taking no prisoners in his foreign policy..."
 
"Gaddafi released a televised statement that was nothing less than apocalyptic to say the least. I was expecting him to have a fit halfway through the usual condemnations."
