Diana was walking through the bullpen when Josh comes out of his office, "Victory is mine! Victory is mine! Great day in the morning people. Victory is mine!"

"Good morning, Josh," Diana greeted.

"I drink from the keg of glory, Diana. Donna, bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."

"It's gonna be an unbearable day," Donna muttered before hanging up her jacket.

Josh throws up his arms in victory in front of the other staffers, who are clapping for him.

"Congratulations, Josh," Diana said.

"Thank you, Diana," Josh hugs her before he goes back to his office and when the door closed everyone could hear a "Woohoo."

Diana shook her head and with a smile on her face before leaving the bullpen and walked into the outer Oval Office, and saw Mrs. Landingham behind her desk.

"Goodmorning, Mrs. Landingham," Diana greeted.

"Goodmorning, sweetheart. Want a cookie?" Mrs. Landingham offered.

"Sure. Thank you," Diana opens the cookie jar and takes out a cookie before putting the lid back on.

"You try getting his attention on this," C.J. said as she and Toby enter the outer Oval Office.

"Mrs. Landingham, does the President have free time this morning?" Toby asked as he approaches Mrs. Landingham's desk.

"The President has nothing but free time, Toby. Right now he's in the residence eating Cheerios and enjoying Regis and Kathie Lee. Should I get him for you?"

"Sarcasm's a disturbing thing coming from a woman of your age, Mrs. Landingham."

"What age would that be, Toby?" She asked.

"Late twenties," Toby answered carefully.

"Atta boy."

"Can I have a cookie?" He asked as he lifted the lid of the jar.

"No," Mrs. Landingham told him.

"Toby, they turned down our request?" Sam asked as he walks in.

"C.J.'s on it," Toby told him.

"Good morning, Sam," Mrs. Landingham greeted him.

"Good morning."

"Have a cookie, Sam," She offered.

"Thank you," Sam takes a cookie.

Toby, still holding the cookie jar lid, looks at Mrs. Landingham and she looks back.

"They're issuing a press release. We're gonna be playing defense all day," C.J. told after hanging up the phone.

"Is this really because of the joke?" Sam asked while his mouth was full.

"It's because of the joke," C.J. replied.

Josh steps in while Donna stays at the door.

"Someone give me a river to forge, a serpent to slay," Josh declared.

"What's his problem?" C.J. asked Donna.

"He's been drinking from the keg of glory. We're to bring him all the muffins and bagels in the land," She answered.

"We heard," Toby said.

"Good job," Sam complimented.

"Thank you very much. C.J., they turned down the invitation?" Josh asked.
