<passage>:
MONICA! 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 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. PANETTA: The Army and the Navy Will need to stay in place. ICKES: Also those at NASA Who keep the shuttle up in space. PANETTA: We'll need to keep the pilots Flying in their planes. CLINTON: And here at the White House My staff should remain. PANETTA [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 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. We'll bring in an intern, We'll bring in an intern, I assure you, Mr. President-- Your routine here won't get blown. PANETTA , ICKES , and CURRIE                 [solemnly agreeing]                : 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. And soldiers, sailors, and Marines To fight battles I want fought. There's no one who's got more power, I'm the leader of all that's free But if you subtract the flags and lackeys, I'm just Lonely. I'm President Lonely. [The lights go down. When they resume, the intern-- MONICA LEWINSKY --is talking on the phone to her good friend LINDA TRIPP .] LEWINSKY: Well, y'know, I'd seen him around, like, a lot. And I know he noticed me. So when they said they needed an intern to answer the phones, I said, "Hel-lo-o-o!" And then I had the idea to take him pizza! LEWINSKY: Then I led him on. And from that point I had the president hooked. That night when I took the president some pizza, Did Clinton let you say hi to Little Bill? LEWINSKY: His lips and mine locked in a kiss fantastic, And he got a phone call from a member of the House. LEWINSKY: No, we didn't go on. LEWINSKY: That's why we didn't go on. LEWINSKY: I mean--rilly! Hey, what's that clicking? LEWINSKY: Oh--OK! [As the relationship between Clinton and Monica continues, some members of the White House staff become worried about the prudence of continuing the relationship with so much potential for scandal. This song is a conversation between Betty Currie, who, though worried, still thinks Monica is a good person, and the rather stonier EVELYN LIEBERMAN .] Betty, it's Lewinsky's time to go. I tell ya, it's Miss Monica's time to go. When he's really busy. Rarely is there anyone around. LIEBERMAN: Still the Secret Service wears a frown. They shouldn't worry, he pats her down. But I'm not kidding, it's time for her to go. LIEBERMAN: Let's get Clinton's head on straight! [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.] At lunch on Thursday. That's it for me, Now tell me what's up with you. TRIPP: My friend Monica? From the White House? I'm pretty sure what she's saying here is true. It seems this Monica chick TRIPP: And the two of them are going to lie about it, Clinton got into an intern's pants? [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.] CLINTON: You know I'd like to answer questions, Her head's full of who knows what. But I never had sex with that woman I never had sex with that n-- Starr has spent $40 million, I never had sex with that woman I never had sex with that b-- A vast right-wing conspiracy They hate me and Hillary. But I will never let them ruin I tell ya, I never had sex with that woman I never had sex with that [Months of investigation, legal wrangling, and public relations campaigning follow. Starr's tactics come under heavy fire, to which he responds.] STARR: It's true Monica asked to lawyer up, His aides aren't the innocent bystanders As they claim when they moan and whine. They won't say what they know full well: I've had sex. It's fine. [After months of denials and futile delays, Clinton finally testifies before the Starr grand jury and argues that, technically, he didn't lie.] CLINTON: Depends what the definition of "is" is, CLINTON: Inappropriate was the nature of our actions, 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, 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 had Clinton boxed into a corner I made Clinton look ridiculous, LEWINSKY: The election was held and the people have spoken, CLINTON: The election was held and the people have spoken, The removal threat is over, Kenneth Starr should go away. I tell you, though, it is a mystery,
