Welcome To Wherever You Are (Picspam)
I know that it technically isn't Halloween here anymore (White rabbits, white rabbits) but it is somewhere in the world so I'm posting this anyway. I apologise now for the crappy quality, but I really really wanted to do this, and my shitty hell week from hell meant that I had to rush it tonight. So happy Halloween, and welcome to the last five days of the Santos/McGarry (and Obama/Biden) campaign.
If anyone would like it, here's the song that the episode is named for: Welcome To Wherever You Are - Bon Jovi. (Thank you Alex for uploading it for me ♥) This episode has sort of a special place in my heart, because even before I watched the show, I remember reading that it was the Choice in the Radio Times one week, and my curiosity piqued even more. That was the first encounter with The West Wing that I remember.
Santos: Chicago, we hardly knew ye.
Helen: We're in St Louis.
Lou: Ok, across the top - days of the week. Down the side - major battleground states. Blue S' for Santos, green Ls for Leo, red Bs for Bartlet. The purple clovers are to entertain me while I'm waiting for Josh to make up his mind.
-----
Helen: Tomorrow we are in Scranton, Bethlehem, Philadelphia, Cincinatti, Dayton AND Housten!?
Annabeth: Leo thinks we need to add a stop in Florida.
Josh: Tomorrow Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas. Friday Texas then California, Saturday to Monday we hit the big five.
Lou: Big five - Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Texas and California.
Santos: Five states a day?
Lou: Yes, we play timezone hopscotch, we fly with the sun.
Josh: California's screwing up our sleep cycle.
Helen: What sleep cycle?
Josh: There ya have it folks. Signed, sealed, delivered. The last five days of the Santos campaign.
Toby: You got Miami Dade voter registration.
Josh: You're a killjoy, you know that? You're a doorstep darkener, you darken doorsteps.
Toby: You're down two in Florida.
Josh: I'm on it, for the love of God.
Lou: Bon Jovi's here!?
Josh: Hey, Stevie Wonder opened last night.
-----
Lou: I don't believe it! They stole our slogan!
Ad: Yes, America can.
Otto: Isn't that our slogan?
Lou: Yes it is!
Laywer who's name I didn't get: There's a deal on the table. And as much as I wouldn't mind locking you up for the next five, six years, the information you leaked was classifed, you were not authorised to have it, and the public, a group you should have some allegiance to, has the right to know where you got it. You broke the law, you didn't do it alone. Tell me where you got your information, we'll knock it down to a year.
Toby: I appreciate you keeping it brief, I'll keep it brief too: I'm not interested.
-----
Toby: You're going to sabotage a national election over this?
Laywer who's name I didn't get: No. You are.
Donna: I just got off the phone with Stu from the Tonight Show.
Lou: Comedy writer?
Donna: He thinks so. You don't the Congressman would want to wear tights on national television do you?
Lou: Tights?
Donna: They want him to dress up like Robin Hood, it's for a sketch.
-----
Helen: The National Organisation of Latinas? He does remember I'm white? Whiter than white. White album white. White dahlia, the white white witch who lured the latino hero away...
Lawyer: Look, Toby... if you're trying to protect your brother...
Helen (on tv): It's the largest block of disenfranchished voters, yeah, I think it's something we need to take a look at.
All: I'll need to call you back.
Andi: Toby?
Toby: Yeah?
Andi: You're sitting outside my house.
Toby: Yeah.
Andi: I have a lunch and two campaign events.
Toby: I could tag along. Though that's probably not the message you want to send to your constituents.
Andi: Why don't you come over at 5 like we planned?
Donna: I just don't think the Congressman wants to wear tights on national...
Josh: Yeah, it's Josh LYMAN, you want me to spell that?
Lou: Ooh! Your new pal Atrios is giving us the love!
Josh: Vinnick did the Yes America Can tour on Canadian buses.
Santos: Anyone check were our buses were made?
Andi: Hey! No costume?
Toby: Well I thought about coming as Julius Rosenberg.
-----
Andi: So do you wanna take them first?
Toby: You go ahead.
Andi: ... There's press.
Lou: There's candy on the press bus if you wanna get a headstart on trick or treating.
Miranda and Peter: I do!
Santos: Urm...
Jon Bon Jovi: You know what, I'll keep an eye on them.
Lou: He's fantastic.
Santos: An international rockstar looking after my kids. Yeah, it's like a dream come true.
Andi: What the hell's the matter with you? Just tell them it was your brother. David's dead and even if he were alive...
Toby: What if it wasn't David.
Andi: Only you...
Toby: He didn't do anything wrong. And I will not consider defaming his reputation for something that he had no involvement with.
Jon Bon Jovi: Josh! I'd like to pitch you some ideas on service, volunteerism on a national level. I'd really like to come down to DC, maybe during transition.
Josh: We'll set something up.
-----
Josh: Where are with Leno?
Donna: They've got this whole Robin Hood-Halloween skit they want to do. Santos starts talking about closing off tax loopholes for the rich, ask what he did for halloween, they cut to a pre-recorded vid of the Congressman trick or treating in a Robin Hood costume. I was thinking maybe without the tights.
Helen: Tights? My husband in tights?
Annabeth: Might lock up the women's vote.
Helen: You've never seen his legs.
-----
Donna: About the Robin Hood sketch...
Josh: He's already showing felons the love, we don't need him dressing up as one.
Donna: So how should I handle Leno?
Josh: Come up with something funnier.
Annabeth: How about a top 10 list?
Donna: That's Letterman.
Annabeth: He's funny.
Donna: Yeah.
Jon Bon Jovi: What are you guys doing?
Donna: We're trying to come up with a bit for the Congressman to do on Leno. Preferably something that doesn't involve a costume.
Jon Bon Jovi: Does he play an instrument?
Annabeth: Hey, that's not a bad idea. He could have a jam with the band.
Donna: Hey, Congressman, do you play a musical instrument?
Santos: Clarinet.
Jon Bon Jovi: Yeah... that's not gonna work.
Lady: Well! What do we have here?
Peter: *barfs*
Donna: Ok, Leno puts on a Vinnick mask, steals a bag of Halloween candy. And the Congressman comes in, wearing a police uniform and arrests him. Not funny at all, huh?
Annabeth: Maybe we should go back to the clarinet.
-----
Santos: We need to start addressing real issues. Stop wasting time on beauty pageants.
Josh: Now we're gonna have this conversation about Leno. Then you're going to talk to Nancy McNally. Then you're going to make up with your wife so we have a relatively happy couple for the rally in Houston.
Santos: Yeah. Josh? You think we're gonna win?
Josh: I do.
FOUR DAYS, GUYS. ♥
