Let Bartlet Be Bartlet

Teaser

Toby: Okay, here's my thing. If you're wrong; if the Coast Guard is wrong…the remarks open with "As I look out over this magnificent vista." If the event gets moved indoors, he will no longer be looking out over a vista of any kind.

Thing = concern; problem
Act 2

Josh: I need you to get me prepped on something.

Donna: What?

Josh: English as the national language.

Donna: Why?

Josh: It might come up.

Donna: Why?

Josh: Because if we do a thing with the FEC, opponents will put English as the national language on the table.

Do a thing = appoint 2 people who are in favor of campaign finance reform instead of people chosen by the party leadership
Act 3

Toby: So…there's going to be a thing.

Leo: About what?

Toby: Mandy wrote an opposition research memo for Russell and somebody's got it.

Thing = news story
