Scene 1
- (The scene opens with the
clock on the wall showing that it is 7:05, we then see Donna and
Josh walking through their Bullpen.)
-
- Donna: They
gotta start the poll, Josh. It's 7:05.
-
- Josh: It's
10 to 7.
-
- Donna. No,
it's really not.
-
- Josh: It's
7:05?
-
- Donna:
Yeah.
-
- Josh:
That's ridiculous.
-
- Donna: I'm
not making it up.
-
- Josh: My
watch says 10 to 7
-
- Donna:
That's cause your watch sucks.
-
- Josh: My
watch is fine.
-
- Donna: Your
watch says 10 to 7.
-
- Josh: How
do I know it isn't 10 to 7?
-
- Donna:
Cause those large clocks on the wall that are run by the U.S.
Navy, say your watch sucks. In fact, they say your watch sucks in
four different time zones.
-
- (They walk
past C.J.'s office where Toby is giving her a bad time.)
-
- Toby:
Question six is asymmetrical.
-
- C.J.:
Question six is fine.
-
- Toby:
"Would you say things in this country are going in the right
direction or do you think they've gotten off on the wrong
track?"
-
- (Josh and Donna stop in
front of CJ's office door and look in.)
-
- Josh: He's
got a good point about that.
-
- C.J.: No,
he doesn't.
-
- Donna:
Guys, you know it's 5 after 7.
-
- Toby:
Should be right direction or wrong direction.
-
- C.J.: Toby
-
- Toby:
Direction and track are two different words!
-
- C.J.: Thank
you, Funk and Wagnalls.
-
- (All four leave CJ's
office.)
-
- Toby:
What'd she call me?
-
- Ginger:
Funk and Wagnalls. They make the dictionary.
-
- Toby: I
know who Funk and Wagnalls are.
-
- Bonnie:
They why'd you ask her?
-
- Donna:
Guys, it's 5 after 7.
Scene 2
- (Donna stops by the office
where Joey Lucas is situated. Joey and Josh have been
arguing over the "English as the Nation's language"
debate.)
-
- Donna:
Josh.
-
- Josh: What?
-
- Donna: You
wanted me to let you know when C.J. started talking about the drug
memo.
-
- Josh: The
briefing is not suppose to start 'til eleven.
-
- Donna:
Guess what?
-
- Josh: My
watch sucks?
-
- Donna: Yes,
indeed.
-
- Josh to
Joey: Okay, I'll be back and when I get back, you're going to
argue with me and we're going to argue about the things I want to
argue about and you're going to do your best not to annoy me so
much.
-
- Kenny translating for Joey: It's almost hard to believe you're not married.
-
- Josh:
Uh...huh ho! (He shakes his head.) Many have tried.
-
- (He leaves the office with
Donna.)
-
- Josh: Did
Toby find a country?
-
- Donna: The
Federated States of Micronesia.
-
- Josh: Is
that a real country?
-
- Donna: Yes,
it's located 2500 miles southwest of Hawaii where you've never
taken me.
-
- Josh: When
was I suppose to take you to Hawaii?
-
- Donna:
Anytime. It's something bosses do.
-
- Josh: The
Federated States of Micronesia.
-
- Donna: They
have some of the best scuba diving in the world.
-
- Josh: Okay.
-
- Donna: The
Mantas, for instance, on the island of Yap, are prized among those
who.....
-
- (They enter Josh's office.)
-
- Josh: Stop
talking, now.
-
- (He turns on the TV where
CJ is giving her briefing.)
-
- C.J.: .....with the point being that the Mandatory Minimum
sentencing guide lines apply to crack cocaine as oppose to powder
cocaine are fairly transparently racist.
-
- Donna: A
guy takes his assistant on a quick trip to Maui, it's not like
unheard of.
-
- Josh:
Shhhh....
-
- (Scene changes to CJ in the
briefing room.)
