SCENE 1
(Everyone is on Air Force One: CJ and Donna are sitting together, talking; Josh and Sam look like they are asleep, and Toby is sitting, awake)
Donna: It's fantastic. It's Clinique's city block oil for daily face
protector.
CJ: SPF-15?
Donna: I brought the SPF-15 and the SPF-30.
CJ: Have you tried the Lancome high-protection sunstick for face and lips?
Donna: No, did you bring it?
CJ: Plus the Elizabeth Arden modern skin care daily moisturizer.
Toby: The two of you understand that we're going to be in California for one
day?
CJ: There's tanning time between 2 and 4.
Donna: And I have sensitive alabaster skin.
CJ: Me, too.
Josh: Cameron's going to introduce a bill tomorrow.
Sam: Gays in the military?
Josh: Yup.
CJ: It's Cameron. Who cares?
Josh: I have a feeling Ted Marcus might care.
Sam: He's not going to know.
Josh: He might.
Toby: You've been in the air all night, you don't know anything, you'll get
back to him
Josh: Yeah.
CJ: Plus, it's Cameron. So, who cares?
Josh: Marcus is going to care.
Charlie, just arrived: CJ, you wanted me to let you know when it looked like
he was heading for the cockpit?
CJ: Thank you. (She gets up to leave) This man has got to be stopped!
Scene 2
(Josh is at the door of his hotel room, struggling with the card-key, when Donna
comes up the hallway, lugging all of their luggage)
Donna: Josh.
Josh: Yeah.
Donna: Need any help with your luggage, there?
Josh: No, you're fine.
Donna: There were messages for you at the desk.
Josh: I've spent half the nights in my life in hotel rooms, and I still
cannot -
Donna, opens her book: Dave Levy.
Josh: Later. You sure this isn't for your room?
Donna: It's for your room. Mandy?
Josh: Ugh, later. You sure?
Donna: It's for your room. The deputy whip?
Josh: Later. You know, there used to be keys. . .
Donna: Hold on.
(Donna takes the key from him to open
the door)
Josh: You stuck it in, you turned it, you - (looks exasperated as Donna opens it
with no problems) I
loosened it for you.
Donna: Ron Dreyfuss from political affairs.
Josh: Later.
Donna: Joey Lucas.
Josh: Really?
Donna: Yeah.
Josh: She called?
Donna: Yes.
Josh: She's here.
Donna: In this hotel.
Josh: She's here in this hotel.
Donna: Yes. She's at the fundraiser tonight.
Josh: Really.
Donna: Yes.
Josh: Why did she call?
Donna: To tell you that she's here in this hotel and she's coming to the fundraiser tonight.
Josh: Really.
Donna: Yes.
Josh: Huh.
Donna: Josh, you've got a crush on Joey Lucas, and I really think you should
do something about it, because you're starting to bother me.
Josh: Well, that's something I really care about.
Donna: Call her right now.
Josh: I'll see her tonight.
Donna: Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Josh. Do you know what that means?
It means you should take this time to gather rosebuds, because later on you
might not be able to.
Josh: Interpreting the classics with Poet Laureate Donnatella Moss.
Donna: I'm just saying, call her and stop bugging me.
Josh: So, let's call her.
Donna: Really?
Josh: Yeah. Let's do it. Call her, and then we'll do everyone else.
Donna: I have alabaster skin, you know.
Josh: Dial the phone.
Donna: I'm just saying. Also, Ted Marcus called.
Josh: What?
Donna: Ted Marcus called.
Josh: Hang on. I'd better call him first.
Scene 3
(Donna and Josh are talking with David Hasselhoff at a party. It's nighttime and they are standing around a pool)
David Hasselhoff: "I think there's a basic bedrock principle behind the
first amendment. That the government cannot prohibit the expression of an
idea just because it's disagreeable". Justice William Brennan, writing for
the majority.
Donna: I'm a real big fan, David, not just a Johnny-come-lately. It's not
just Baywatch and Knight Rider with me.
David: Well, thank you very much. My point is -
Donna: I mean, Nick Fury, Panic at Malibu Pier, The Cartier
Affair.
Pleasure Cove, for crying out loud.
Josh, exasperated with Donna's fawning, takes her hand and pulls her away: Excuse
us.
Donna: He's so into me.
Josh: You're frightening the guests.
Donna: David Hasselhoff, I'm just saying.
Josh: He's married.
Donna: This is California, Josh. A girl can dream
Josh, takes her wine glass: Stop drinking now.
Donna: Matt Perry, right there, goodbye.
Scene 4
(In Josh's hotel room: Josh is packing while Donna is laying on his bed)
Donna: That was it?
Josh: Yeah.
Donna: Just because she said she was with somebody?
Josh: She said she was with somebody.
Donna: Oh, Josh!
Josh: Donna, she's with somebody!
Donna: She could have just been saying that.
Josh: Why would she just be saying that?
Donna: For the allure.
Josh: Oh.
Donna: Go see her before we leave.
Josh: It's one in the morning.
Donna: Go knock on her door.
Josh: I'm not going to knock on her door at one in the morning.
Donna: Yes! Because you're wisking away to Washington, and you had to see her one more time before you left, because God knows what fate awaits you
when once you get there.
Josh: Are you okay?
Donna: Gather ye rosebuds, Josh.
Josh: Donna, I am not going to knock on her door.
(Donna starts to cluck like a chicken. Josh peeks back around the corner from
where he is gathering things in the bathroom and looks at her.)
Josh: Were you just clucking like a chicken, is that what that was?
Donna, smiling: Yes.
Josh: I couldn't knock on her door if I wanted to, I don't have her room
number.
Donna, picking up the phone message: Yes, you do. (She waves it and says in a
sing-song voice) Phone Message! Phone message!
Josh: Okay, first of all, don't do that thing anymore with the (mockingly sings
it) "phone
message! Phone message!"
Donna: And?
Josh, takes the slip of paper and heads towards the door: Tell them I'll be down in one minute. Wait, how's she going to know
I'm knocking on the door?
Donna: There's a button outside, a light flashes.
Josh [opening door]: Tell them I'll be there in a minute.
