(JOSH is in his office, talking on the phone.)

JOSH I don't think it's being sorted in the mailroom. It's an invitation to the president to address Congress. I'm assuming it was hand-delivered. (listens) Thank you.

(DONNA knocks at the door.)

JOSH Yes?
DONNA Margaret came by.
JOSH Yes.

(JOSH leaves his office and enters the bullpen, DONNA following behind him)

DONNA She said Leo said to remind you you need to pick a guy.
JOSH Right.
DONNA She said you'd know what that means.
JOSH Yeah.
DONNA Do you know what that means?
JOSH Yeah.
DONNA I don't know what that means.
JOSH Someone from the line of succession is required to be absent from the State of the Union.
DONNA Why?
JOSH Donna...
DONNA Wait, I know why.

(They continue walking around the lobby)

DONNA So if somebody blows up the building, nobody's...
JOSH Yes.
DONNA Who are you gonna pick?
JOSH Who do you think I should pick?
DONNA I think you should pick me.
JOSH You think so?
DONNA Yeah, I'll be good.
JOSH And where exactly do you fall in the line of succession?
DONNA If somebody blows up the Capitol Building, I'd imagine I'd move up a few slots.
JOSH (smiling at her remark) Fair point.

(JOSH opens the door and they continue into a corridor)

DONNA So who's it gonna be?
JOSH Roger Tribby.
DONNA The secretary of agriculture?
JOSH Yes.

(They stop outside of Leo’s office)

JOSH Listen. Be sweet to Margaret and Leo today. This might not be the worst day of their lives, but it's got to be in the top five.
DONNA Okay.
JOSH See ya later.

(He watches as DONNA leaves, then enters LEO’S office)

Scene 2

(DONNA and JOSH are entering having just been outside, they look as if they are returning from lunch)

DONNA Roger Tribby.
JOSH Yes.
DONNA I don't know why you're picking the secretary of agriculture.
JOSH Because the secretaries of defense, state and treasury are famous faces, and we want the camera to find them.
DONNA So, if the Capitol Building blows up...
JOSH Yes.
DONNA The man my country will be looking to is the secretary of agriculture.
JOSH It's my country too.
DONNA Yeah, but you'll be dead.
JOSH Which is why I really don't care that much.
DONNA Josh…
JOSH Donna, I really don't anticipate the Capitol Building exploding.
DONNA What percentage of things exploding have been anticipated?
JOSH Now you're bringing me down.
DONNA I would think so.

(JOSH calls out to SAM, whom he has just seen talking in the hallway ahead of them, and DONNA leaves)
