The White House Pro-Am

Teaser

Lilli Mays: So here's my thing.

Sam: What?

Lilli: What would you guys think about the President not going to the Hill for the Budget meetings tomorrow, but us bringing the leadership to the White House instead?

Sam: Why?

Lilli: We want the news cycle.

Thing = suggestion
Act 2

Josh: I'll talk to Lilli Mays.

Sam: I'll do it. I'm already going in there on the Ron Erlich thing. If I'm going to take a hit, I might as well take two.

Ron Erlich thing = wire report stating that the First Lady expressed a preference for Ron Erlich as the new Fed Chair
Act 3

Danny: 2000 marriage proposals, 2000 death threats. A dozen bodyguards. Everyone wants to get close, everyone wants a thing.

Thing = favor/acknowledgment
Act 4

Donna: It's an interesting book.

Josh: The hundred years ago thing?

Thing = book on what life was like in America a century ago

Bartlet: This wire thing is a problem for me. The kid on TV was a mistake, and the amendment from Becky Reeseman will bring down a trade bill that's been worked on for years

Thing = report

Abbey: Just ease up on the high ground.

Bartlet: On that point, I concede the high ground.

Abbey: And I concede I was wrong about the thing.

Bartlet: Good.

Abbey: However…

Bartlet: No, no however. Just be wrong.

Thing = appearing on TV to talk about child labor without running it by the President's staff first
