Shibboleth
Teaser
Sam: Well over three and a half centuries ago, strengthened by faith, bound by a common desire for liberty, a small band of pilgrims sought out a place in the new world where they could worship according to their own beliefs…and solve crimes.
Toby: Sam…
Sam: It'd be good.
Toby: Read the thing.
Sam: By day they churned butter and worshiped according to their own beliefs, and by night they solved crimes.
Toby: Read the thing.
Sam: Pilgrim detectives.
Thing = draft of the President's Thanksgiving proclamation
Act 1
Josh: They're seeking religious asylum.
Bartlet: You're kidding me.
Josh: The Christian community's going to scream that they've got to stay, China's going to say send them back, INS is going to say the law's the law. This is a whole new thing.
Thing = situation (Chinese stowaways have announced that they are requesting religious asylum)
Act 4
Bartlet: I'm still waiting for the thing.
Sam: Right here.
Thing = copy of the Thanksgiving proclamation
