Scene opens to a shot of Air Force One preparing for take-off. The President – who both looks and sounds a lot like George W. Bush -- waves as he enters the plane. The flight crew stands at attention the moment he's on board.

PRESIDENT: Bobby, did those babybacks from PapaJoe's make the flight?

BOBBY: Yes, sir, Mr. President. They were flown in from San Antonio ten minutes ago, sir.

PRESIDENT: Good. Let's have an early lunch.

BOBBY: Yes, sir, Mr. President.

The President turns away, putting an arm around the shoulders of the man, presumably Secret Service, behind him. Kate Todd precedes them.

PRESIDENT (to man): I love the babybacks from PapaJoe's.

MAN: I know, Mr. President.

PRESIDENT (to Kate): Wasn't Major Kerry supposed to be handling the Football on this one?

KATE: He came down with the flu, Mr. President.

The man raises his arm to indicate the new Football carrier.

MAN: This is Commander Ray Trapp, Mr. President. He's new on the detail.

Cmdr. Trapp, dressed in Navy whites, stands at attention before the President.

PRESIDENT: Have we met before, Commander?

TRAPP: (shakes hands with the President) Yes, sir. On the Abraham Lincoln, Mr. President.

PRESIDENT: (smirks) Ah, the Lincoln. (turns to Secret Service man) You know, the trip to the Lincoln was the best day I've had on this job. (turns back to Cmdr. Trapp and waggles a finger at him) Why don't you join me for lunch?

TRAPP: Be my pleasure, Mr. President.

PRESIDENT: Good, I'll look forward to it.

The President and the Secret Service man walk away. Kate lingers to speak with Cmdr. Trapp, who finally relaxes once the President is out of sight.

KATE: Lunch with the boss on your first day. You're destined for stars on those shoulders, Commander.

Kate leaves, going a different direction than the President did. Cmdr. Trapp sits down, looks off where the President disappeared to, and smiles. Then he reaches over to the side of his chair where a large black briefcase is unobtrusively tucked away and puts his hand on top of it.

Air Force One takes off.

A flight attendant carries a tray of food down an aisle and sets it down on a table between two people. The crewman from before, Bobby, walks past her to speak with the Secret Service agents.

BOBBY: Agent Baer, Agent Todd, would either of you like anything to eat?

BAER: (doesn't even bother looking up) No, thank you.

KATE: (smiles politely) I'm fine, thanks.

BOBBY: Very well.

Bobby leaves. Baer gets up.

BAER: I'll be in the Comm. getting an update from Bowman. Keep an eye on things down here.

KATE: You expecting a problem, sir?
