CUT TO: INT. TOBY'S OFFICE - DAY
Toby is in his coat, picking up documents from his desk.
TOBY
I'm leaving now!
BONNIE [OS]
You need this. [hands him a blue folder]
TOBY
I'm leaving for this meeting.
BONNIE
[takes a blue folder away from him] You don't need this.
TOBY
This meeting when I will compromise!
BONNIE
Do you have 10-60?
TOBY
Yes, I do. Why do we compromise? [chuckles] Because we are ordered to, because compromising on the estate tax prevents Republicans from going for an even bigger tax cut which would help rest the White House from our compromising little hands... so I go to this meeting...
GINGER
You need this. [hands him a pink folder]
TOBY
The estate tax which Republicans have cleverly dubbed the Death Tax there's nothing that... heh, the Republicans do better than naming things... So I go to this meeting... [walks out of the area, then comes back] because I agree with Republicans and Congress! America is about self-sufficiency, about lifting yourself up by the bootstraps just as long as your children'ㄴ children never have to work a day in their lives. [gets a scarf
from Ginger] So I go to this meeting...
BONNIE
Toby...
GINGER
He's rolling.
TOBY
Oh, I go to this meeting, Ginger, and though I compromise, I draw a line in the sand, I'm there to insure that only multi-millionaires and not billionaires are exempt from the estate tax.
BONNIE
[from Toby's office] Toby!
TOBY
[walking out] Reelect the President, Bonnie. He's on the side of millionaires and not billionaires!
