Do you have a band gazebo?
KATZENMOYER I’m in your own party!
JOSH Doesn’t seem to be doing us much good now, does it?
KATZENMOYER It’s an incumbent Democrat. You’ll go to the press and endorse a challenger?
JOSH No sir. We’re going to do it in person. See, you won with fifty-two percent, but the President took your district with fifty-nine. And I think it’s high time we come back and say thanks. Do you have any idea how much noise Air Force One makes when it lands in Eau Claire, Wisconsin? We’re going to have a party, Congressman. You should come, it’s gonna be great. And when the watermelon’s done, right in town square, right in the band gazebo… You guys got a band gazebo?
KATZENMOYER Josh…
JOSH Doesn’t matter, we’ll build one. Right in the band gazebo, that’s where the President is going to drape his arm around the shoulder of some assistant DA we like. And you should have your camera with you. You should get a picture of that. ‘Cause that’s gonna be the moment you’re finished in Democratic politics.
President Bartlet’s a good man. He’s got a good heart. He doesn’t hold a grudge.
[puts on sunglasses]
That’s what he pays me for. [walks away]
