to accept, I think, secretary of state position.

This is after Jimmy Smits has won the election. Alan Alda is balking and saying, no we're on opposite sides, I'm not gonna work for you.

Jimmy Smits starts asking for advice on how to handle various international incidents and then Alan Alda is hooked and off and running but he doesn't quite realize it yet. Great scene.
