Added February 26, 2001
Scene 1
(Sam and Josh have been walking the halls of the WW on their way to Josh's office, discussing the Congressman who were voting with them, whom they now need to get back. On their way, Josh was greeted by chorus' of congratulations from passing staff members, much to his and Sam's puzzlement. When they finally reach Josh's bullpen, the staff members begin to applaud.)
Josh: I sense I'm being mocked.
(Donna comes up to him, smiling.)
Donna: Congratulations, Josh.
Josh: What did I do?
Donna: You won our award for best gift valued over twenty-five dollars on the financial disclosure report.
Josh: Really?
Donna: Yeah.
Josh: What won it for me?
Donna: The eleven hundred and eighty nine dollar Viennatelli silk smoking jacket from Miss Sarah Wissenger.
Josh: Ah, yes.
(Josh puts his hand behind her back and steers her to start walking down the outside bullpen hallway. Sam, hiding a smile, follows.)
Donna: You're also the runner up, by the way, with the three hundred and forty-five dollar antique scrimshaw cigarette holder, also from Miss Sarah Wissenger.
Josh: Well, Sarah was very fond of me.
Donna: I'd imagine with that smoking jacket and the cigarette holder, you were quite the dandy.
Josh: All right, this was fun, but Sam and I are busy making critical decisions, and I'm sure you have a lot of typing to do. So I'll talk to you later.
(Donna walks off towards her desk, laughing with a "goodbye" while Sam and Josh continue their discussion.)
Scene 2
(C.J. and Josh have been talking about who they still need to get for their votes. The two reach Josh's bullpen where CJ goes off in one direction and Donna comes up to Josh to talk with him.)
Donna: Josh.
Josh: Yeah.
Donna: Congressman Wick is waiting in the Mural Room.
Josh: I know.
Donna: He's been waiting twenty minutes.
(Josh looks at the folder Donna handed him while she consults her notebook.)
Josh: I know.
Donna: You have a legislative liaison meeting in fifteen minutes.
Josh: I know.
Donna: And then the East Asia briefing.
Josh: I know.
Donna: All right. Well, then this entire conversation served only as a reminder.
Josh: Actually, it only served as a colossal waste of time and energy. Keep up the good work.
(During this, he hands her the folder back and smiles at her dirty look.)
