<passage>:
The White House may have been in crisis all year, but the events were less the stuff of great drama than of a farcical musical comedy. Hey, wait a minute--let's put on a show! The time: November 1995. The House Republicans, led by Speaker Newt Gingrich, are insisting on their version of the budget. President Bill Clinton is stubbornly rejecting it. The Republicans have taken a bold option: They will just refuse to pass a budget, and they'll let the government shut down. In the Oval Office, BILL CLINTON meets with advisers LEON PANETTA and HAROLD ICKES and secretary BETTY CURRIE to discuss this development. "The Shutdown" (upbeat production number) PANETTA: The Republicans have positions To which they're clinging fast. ICKES: The president is just as firm The die, it seems, is cast. PANETTA: Without a budget passed by Congress The government will close. All of the workers Will be sent home on furloughs. CLINTON [speaking]                : Well, wait a second--not all of them. We'll need to keep some essential personnel. [speaking]                : But even here at the White House, some adjustments will be required. CLINTON: OK, tell the ushers To take a few days off. Tell the maids and cooks and butlers To go play themselves some golf. We have to do without the clerks Let them all go home. Who will get the phones? CLINTON [speaking]                : We've got to make sure the Oval Office functions with efficiency. We can't afford the tiniest error. PANETTA: Aha! I have it! We'll bring in an intern, We'll bring in an intern, I assure you, Mr. President-- Your routine here won't get blown. The presence of an intern will ensure Your routine here won't get blown. [The advisers depart, leaving President Clinton alone. He turns introspective.] "President Lonely" (a ballad) CLINTON: I've got deputies and bureaucrats Who fulfill my every thought. I'm the leader of all that's free But if you subtract the flags and lackeys, I'm just Lonely. LEWINSKY: No, he stopped me when he seemed upon the cusp. TRIPP: So you didn't go on? It's just what she picks to drink. Betty, it's Lewinsky's time to go. CURRIE: She brings him Little presents. I tell ya, it's Miss Monica's time to go. CURRIE: She never comes When he's really busy. Rarely is there anyone around. LIEBERMAN: Let's get Clinton's head on straight! CURRIE: He comes back From Easter services, Shouldn't inspire thoughts so sizzlin'. Yes, it's really time for Monica to go. [Times passes. Monica moves to the Pentagon, but the relationship intermittently continues. Meanwhile, Paula Jones sues the president for sexual harassment, and it seems clear that before long, Clinton will have to testify under oath. Two close observers of those developments are old friends Linda Tripp and LUCIENNE GOLDBERG , who is friendly with lawyers for Jones and lawyers in the office of Independent Counsel KENNETH STARR . One day, Tripp and Goldberg talk on the phone.] "Talk, Talk, Chat, Chat" (sprightly) GOLDBERG and TRIPP: Talk, talk, At lunch on Thursday. That's it for me, Has been sucking the president's-- GOLDBERG: Oh that's sick! TRIPP: And the two of them are going to lie about it, Escape. He'll spin the story, he'll turn the tables-- GOLDBERG: Unless you get that airhead down on tape. TRIPP: There's a dress ... GOLDBERG: Hold on, let me call Sparky. [Independent Counsel Starr uses Tripp to detain Monica. A few days later, the news breaks. On the advice of his pal Harry Thomason, Clinton flat-out lies to his wife, to his loyalists, and to the public about the relationship.] "I Never Have" (performance should build in tempo and intensity) CLINTON: You know I'd like to answer questions, A prosecutorial disgrace. All he's got is some recordings Made by a vengeful snitch. A vast right-wing conspiracy [Months of investigation, legal wrangling, and public relations campaigning follow. Starr's tactics come under heavy fire, to which he responds.] "Crossing the Line" Blast these tactics of mine, But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do When the president crosses the line. He's crossed the line. He's crossed the line. Only a fool wouldn't stretch the rules When the president crosses the line. It may have seemed like dirty pool To drag his people 'fore the jury. His aides aren't the innocent bystanders As they claim when they moan and whine. They won't say what they know full well: The president crossed the line. I'd be a nitwit not to bend a bit When the president crosses the line. The talking heads are accusing me Of laying a perjury trap. But lying about it gets my blood up And the president's crossed the line. I crossed the line. Tell Steve Brill I'll leak at will When the president crosses the line. [After months of denials and futile delays, Clinton finally testifies before the Starr grand jury and argues that, technically, he didn't lie.] "Testimony" (snappy) CLINTON: Depends what the definition of "is" is, "Alone together" is literal nonsense, Before you reach conclusions, read your text. [Afterward, he speaks to the nation, admits doing wrong, and apologizes, though grudgingly.] CLINTON: Inappropriate was the nature of our actions, And believe me I regret the whole damn thing, But inappropriate are all these personal questions, The country doesn't need to know these things. [Clinton's enemies reject his apology, and soon the House of Representatives begins the long process of impeachment. NEWT GINGRICH here discloses his approach.] "Bring 'em Down" (dark, moody) GINGRICH: Mustn't seem to be too cheerful, Mustn't overreach, Must remember to seem unhappy That we're going to impeach. Must remember to remain sober As we undertake this chore. Bring 'em down. Bring 'em down. [The House votes to hold impeachment hearings. But just a few weeks later, the midterm elections, which are expected to go the GOP's way, are held. Contrary to predictions, the Democrats pick up seats, and the GOP's obsession with scandal is repudiated. Gingrich resigns, and the practical chances of Clinton's removal evaporate. As the show ends, we hear from Starr, Lewinsky, and Clinton.] "The People Have Spoken" (dramatic, stirring) STARR: The election was held and the people have spoken, I spent four years and 40 million That's a lot of time and loot. I made Clinton look ridiculous, My boyfriend is still in office And he might return to me one day. CLINTON: The election was held and the people have spoken, I can't believe what they had to say. The removal threat is over, Kenneth Starr should go away. I tell you, though, it is a mystery, I mean, I'm unfaithful and I lie. I might be guilty of obstruction, Yet my ratings are sky-high. That must mean I'm a pretty good president, But obviously I'm not Starr or Gingrich,
