As Sam started speaking, Cathy walked in with a handful of files. "Here."
She said handing everything over to Sam. "Sam, your three o'clock is here."

"What time is it?"

"Three o'clock, Sam. That's why it's your three o'clock appointment that's
here, and not your one o'clock appointment."

"Remind me again who this meeting is with."

"Mr. Stevenson and Mrs. Murray."

"Okay, give me a minute, then you can send them in."

"Why a minute?"

"Because I need to figure out what it is I am going to say to them."

"And you think a minute is going to help?"

"You're right. Give me an hour."

"Sam!"

"Okay, okay, you can send them in now."

Cathy left the office, only to return a few seconds later, ushering a man and
a woman into the room, then shuts the door as she returns to her desk.

"Mr. Stevenson, Mrs. Murray, what a pleasure it is to meet with you today."

"Can it Sam, we know as well as you do that you wish you weren't here right
now, so let's just get started." Mr. Stevenson said as he took a seat.

"Why me?" is all Sam could think.

"Toby, they're here." Josh said entering Toby's office.

"And I care because…..?"

"Because Leo told you that you had to meet with them."

As Toby starts coughing, he says, "Josh, I'm feeling under the weather today.
I don't think I'll be able to come."

"Well then, you have a choice, my friend. It's either this meeting, or Mrs.
Bartlet."

"You wouldn't!"

"I would. Now come on."

"Where is the meeting?"

"Uh, it's in the Roosevelt room."

"Why?"

"Because they brought everyone that works for them. And those people brought
the people that work for them. It was the only room big enough to have this
meeting. Well, it really isn't big enough to house everyone, but it was the
biggest room available."

"Maybe we should bring people too."

"Toby!"

"What? I'm sick of these people thinking they are the only ones who have
people. BONNIE! GINGER!"

"Never mind Bonnie and Ginger, just ignore him." Josh said as the two ladies
approached them.

"We usually do," replied Ginger.

"WHAT?!" Toby shouted as Josh pulled him through the doors, exiting the
communications bullpen.
