You? Are awesome. Thank you for the comments! ♥ Can I just say how much I ADORE your icon? Hee. Jed and Toby are much much LOVE.
Whoa, foreshadowing... this line alone pretty much guarantees that it's set in mid season 1, because no one would say that to Josh after that.
WHOA. You are completely right there - I didn't even think about that, actually. Which means I probably wrote this after I'd seen about half of Season 1 myself. At least up to Celestial Navigation (the one with Josh giving the briefing 'cos CJ is all woot-canawed-up), which is where the CJ/Josh banter in particular won me over. I love the brother-sister snarky relationship these two have!
And I can just picture Josh being the super-hyper, annoying type when he's bored. So that's how I wrote it. ;)
What's funny is this whole story would probably take up about a minute and half on TWW because the dialogue moves so fast.
You're absolutely right there! I always watch the show and just marvel at the speed with which the actors are just tossing out their dialogue - and it's TOUGH, wordy dialogue too - as if it came so naturally. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
This is actually the first TWW fic I've ever read, and I love it! Great job.
*blushes* Thanks again. ♥ And awww, the first fic you've read? I'm honoured. Will try to liberate the other two from my laptop now, if I can. ;)
Can I just say how much I ADORE your icon? I know! I LOVE IT! That entire scene is so awesome... Bartlet "high" is FTW. =D
At least up to Celestial Navigation (the one with Josh giving the briefing 'cos CJ is all woot-canawed-up), which is where the CJ/Josh banter in particular won me over. I love the brother-sister snarky relationship these two have! I LOVE the snark between those two in that episode! "A secwet pwan to fight infwation?!" "You shouldn't say that CJ... you've got a great body." Plus, Toby and Sam in the car arguing is hilarious! "I'm using celestial navigation." "Hey, Galileo, pull the car over." LMAO
And OMFG. It's so awesome to discover among my flist people who share more than ONE fandom with me. YOU CAN QUOTE ME CELESTIAL NAVIGATION. THIS MEANS YOU ARE MADE OF WIN. I adored that episode. ADORED IT. I loved how CJ was SO upset - "I just wanted to hear you say 'Foggy Bottom'." ROFL. I adore Toby getting increasingly frustrated with CJ's inability to speak properly too. Cuteness. ♥
I loved how CJ was SO upset - "I just wanted to hear you say 'Foggy Bottom'." LMAO! You just made me spit coffee all over my computer, but it was totally worth it. =D
It's so awesome to discover among my flist people who share more than ONE fandom with me. AGREED! TWW is the only show other than House that I have been diehard obsessed about. I still watch the DVDs all the time. :)
YOU CAN QUOTE ME CELESTIAL NAVIGATION. THIS MEANS YOU ARE MADE OF WIN. RIGHT BACK AT YOU!! <3
*preens* I love it when I make people spew coffee. ;) But seriously. Celestial Navigation = one of the funniest episodes of tv ever. Like SHIBBOLETH. OMG. So touching, at the end, but the whole PARDONING THE TURKEY THING? Thinking of CJ's face makes me want to cry with laughter, heh.
AGREED! TWW is the only show other than House that I have been diehard obsessed about. I still watch the DVDs all the time. :)
Ha ha - I've clearly had a few more obsessions than you - House right now, of course, but I used to be crazy into XF, Gilmore Girls and WW. Frasier too. Those were my diehard fandoms of win. I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE WW. :)
So touching, at the end, but the whole PARDONING THE TURKEY THING? LOL! I love how pissed off Bartlet was too that the kid didn't know he couldn't actually pardon a turkey. :) And at the beginning, when Josh and Toby had the kid put the turkeys in CJ's office all night, out of their cages... that was sooo funny! Her face when she came in to work the next day... PRICELESS!!
I loved Frasier too!
And I was really obsessed with Friends. I can't believe I forgot that one! I own all of those DVDs also. :)
WHEN SHE WALKED INTO HER OFFICE AND WAS TAKING OFF HER COAT? AND THEN THERE WAS A TURKEY AND SHE STOPPED? FUNNIEST THING EVER.
Oooh. I was dorkily into Friends as well!! GAH. We share so much fandom love, ftw. :) Wish I could stay up and flail with you all night, but I'm starting to fall asleep in my chair, which is so not good. Off to bed now! *hugs*
WAIT, WUT? WHY WOULD YOU STOP SPAMMING MY JOURNAL? MY JOURNAL IS MADE FOR SPAM. AND OMG, IF SPAM IS ABOUT WW AND ABOUT CELESTIAL NAVIGATION IN PARTICULAR, I'd FORGIVE EVERYTHING ANYWAY.
QUOTAGE:
Toby: Believe me when I tell you this, CJ, I will figure out a way to blame this on you. CJ: I have no doubt about that.
Leo: CJ, Sam sees one reporter when he gets off that plane, I'm gonna blame you. CJ: Toby's got ya covered there.
CJ: I'm experiencing some pain. Sam: For how long? CJ: About a month now, but it'll go away by itself. Sam: When? CJ: When I die, Sam.
And because the full scene is made of win: CJ: What the heww happened in thewe? Josh: CJ-- CJ: You compwetewy impwoded! Josh: What'd I do? Donna: (translating) You completely imploded. Josh: I wouldn't say completely. CJ: You wewe wague, you wewe hostuh, you wewe bewwigewant! Donna: Belligerent. CJ: You know what it's gonna take fow me to fix this? Josh: I'm gonna fix this. CJ: No, you'we not. You awe not evew awwowed in my pwess woom again! Toby: Have you fallen on your head? Josh: Listen-- Toby: Have you fallen down and hit your head on something hard? Josh: I feel really bad about this. Toby: You do? Josh: Yes. Toby: (sarcastically) Oh, well then I guess that's all that really matters. Josh: Hey! Toby: That was some very good television, Josh, and I think four network news directors will bear me out on that tonight. Josh: I really think this isn't as bad as you're making it out to be. CJ A secwet pwan to fight infwation! Toby: Okay, CJ, for a little while you're gonna have to write it down.
Cj: "When I die, Sam. Carol, cancel the appointment." Sam: "Carol, set the briefing for 2:00. Keep the appointment." CJ: "Sam!" Sam: "Your teeth are the best friends you've got, CJ." CJ: "They are?" Sam: "You take care of them, they'll take care of you." CJ: "When did you start talking like this?" Sam: "I'm nuts for dental hygiene." CJ: "Go away now." Sam: "Okay."
Toby: "We're going the wrong way." Sam: "No, we're not." Toby: "We're supposed to be going east." Sam: "We're going east." Toby: "How do you know we're going east?" Sam: "The sun rises in the east." Toby: "It's dark outside!" Sam: "Also, that bright star in the northern sky is Polaris." Toby: "So what?" Sam: "I'm using celestial navigation."
CJ: "Josh." Josh: "What the hell happened?" CJ: "I had woot canaw." Josh: "What happened to your cheeks?" CJ: "I had woot canaw." Josh: "Why are you talking like that?" CJ: "I had woot canaw!" Josh: "Yeah, I heard you the first time. I was just amusing myself." CJ: "I can suggest some othew things you can do wif yourseff."
Josh: "What's going on?" Toby: "Sam feels we're zeroing in on it." Josh: "You haven't found it yet?" Toby: "We've been navigating by the North Star, which turned out to the the Delta shuttle from LaGuardia. It's a miracle we're not in Nantucket right now." Josh: "Toby, how hard can it be to find the Wesley police station?" Toby: "I don't know Josh, but while we're looking, can you tell me a little more about the President's secret plan to fight inflation?"
Sam: "Let me tell you something. If we'd stayed on the Merit Parkway instead of getting off at exit 29 and going east to Greenwich, I don't think we'd have wound up in Bridgeport so many times." Toby: "Shut up."
Charlie: "Good morning, Mr. President. It's Charlie. I hope-" Bartlet: "What could you possibly want right now?" Charlie: "Sir it's 6:30 am, and-" Bartlet: "In the morning?" Charlie: "Yes sir. And I wanted to remind you that-" Bartlet: "I mean, what in the name of everything holy could you want right now?"
Leo: "He's driving from Nova Scotia to Washington?" Sam: "Yeah." Leo: "How does a person do that?" Sam: "Oh, my guess is he'll take the Trans-Canada Highway to New Brunswick, then maybe catch the 1 and take the scenic route along the coast of Maine. 95 through New Hampshire to the Mass Pike, and then cut over to the Merit Parkway around Milford." Toby: "There's something really kind of freakish about you, you know that?"
SHIBBOLETH KILLS ME DEAD. with the funny, but also the touching. I haven't had a show be both as frequently as WW was, in the early seasons. *happy nostalgic sigh*
