The best scene from a piss take somebody wrote:
* * *
OVAL OFFICE, DAY.
POTUS is still at his desk, and LEO stands beside him. JOSH and HOYNES have gone, but this is the West Wing so we don't have to have an explanation where or why.
Through the doorway we see CHARLIE get up from his desk and leave. POTUS immediately stands up and starts to tiptoe after him.
LEO
Mr. President...?
POTUS
Shh. I want to see where he goes.
They follow CHARLIE through the corridors of the White House and go down to the basement, where he disappears into a door marked 'Plot Exile'.
LEO [looking over his shoulder]
Shouldn't your Secret Service Agents have followed us?
POTUS
It's dramatic licence. [He regards the door curiously] I wonder what's through there?
LEO
I wouldn't, Mr. President.
POTUS [frowning]
Why not?
LEO
Don't you ever watch horror movies?
POTUS
Oh, like you even own a TV.
He yanks the door open. CHARLIE stumbles out, looking startled.
CHARLIE
Mr. President! You can't come in here, you're the main character!
POTUS
We don't have a main character, this is an ensemble piece.
LEO
Yeah, but some of us are more ensemble than others.
POTUS [turning to LEO]
You realise that made absolutely no sense?
LEO
It doesn't have to make sense if it sounds good. Just ask Toby about 'could care less'.
POTUS
Yeah. I've been wondering, considering I'm a trivia-minded grammar geek, why I haven't corrected him about that.
LEO
Probably because you're too busy swearing.
POTUS
Dammit, I don't swear!
CHARLIE clears his throat. The President turns back to him.
POTUS
Charlie, who else is in there with you?
ZOEY emerges. POTUS looks shocked, whilst LEO sniggers.
POTUS [warningly]
Zoey...
ZOEY
It's okay, dad.
She holds open the door and ABBEY and ELLIE troop out, followed by a woman in her thirties and a teenage girl.
POTUS [to the woman and girl]
Who the hell are you?
WOMAN
I'm your other daughter, Liz.
GIRL
And I'm your granddaughter, Annie!
POTUS
Oh. I was wondering what you two looked like. Anybody else in there with you?
DANNY comes out.
POTUS
Danny! What are you doing in here?
DANNY
I was getting in the way of CJ and Toby's developing romance.
POTUS
It hasn't developed very much.
DANNY
I know. At least I got to kiss her.
POTUS squints through the door.
POTUS
Who's that in there, right at the back?
A short figure emerges. It is... dramatic chord... MANDY.
POTUS
Mandy! I thought you'd disappeared from my adminstration with absolutely no explanation?
MANDY
I did. But now I want Josh to take me back.
