"'''The Indians in the Lobby'''" is the 51st episode of ''[[The West Wing (TV series)|The West Wing]]''. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
It is the day before [[Thanksgiving]] and [[Josiah Bartlet|the President]] is talking [[turkey (bird)|turkey]] to whoever will listen (and everyone must). He is being very boring in his endless descriptions of how to cook and stuff a turkey. He is also rather disgruntled that the family must spend Thanksgiving at [[Camp David]], rather than his [[New Hampshire]] farm. Although he has told [[Bruno Gianelli|Bruno]] that he and the family are "off limits," Bruno lays it on the line for him that they have to be accessible to the voters. Meanwhile, two [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] are encamped in the lobby. They've been stood up by the official who was supposed to meet with them and they aren't about to leave. [[C. J. Cregg|C.J.]] is told to make the problem go away. She was all set for the weekend, and is initially dismissive of them—a young, articulate woman and an older man. Eventually, however, she warms to their cause and promises action on several issues. [[Leo McGarry|Leo]] refuses to see them as they are camped in the lobby, and C.J. comes up with a compromise to which they finally agree. [[Josh Lyman|Josh]] is busy with a juvenile who shot his teacher, and who was assisted by his parents to escape to [[Rome]]. Now, Josh needs to get him extradited but the [[Italy|Italian]]s are not keen on returning him to [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] as the state executes [[Capital punishment in the United States|capital punishment]]. |
|||
The President finally calls the "[[Butterball|Butterball]] Hotline" as there seems to be a query over the actual stuffing of the turkey. When he finally gets through, he pretends to be someone from [[Fargo, North Dakota]]. The call center woman deals with his inquiry, but adds: "Your voice is very familiar…" |
