LOENGARD<br />
So what are we waiting for<br />
SAYERS<br />
You can't be president until you're<br />
thirty-five. That gives us ten whole<br />
years to get married, have kids and,<br />
hopefully, find a place with more<br />
closet space.<br />
Loengard smiles. This woman makes his day.<br />
LOENGARD<br />

SAYERS<br />
(playful)<br />
Everything.<br />
LOENGARD<br />

EXT. THE CAPITOL - DAY<br />
Loengard bounds up the steps, carrying a tray of coffees and<br />
a bag of donuts.<br />
INT. CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE - DAY<br />

bill. We are against the amendment<br />
and for the bill.<br />
Pratt nods, barely listening, stops near the front desk,<br />
picks up a manila envelope.
