“We’re going to lose some of these battles, and we might even lose the White House but we’re not going to be threatened by issues. We’re going to put them front and center. We’re going to raise the level of public debate in this country and let that be our legacy. That sound alright?”

Donna: The Kaehlers are in the Mural Room.
Josh: Who are the Kaehlers?
Donna: Moneybags out of Colorado. The President’s out of town; the Vice President got held up at the Joint Chief’s…
[She has brushed past him and trailed off. Josh hesitates and then walks to her.]
Josh: You don’t have to be pissy.
Donna: [huffs] This is not pissy.
Josh: Donna, it’s a huge risk for the President. We have to cull the list. We have to be brutal—
Donna: These thirty-six people haven’t been culled enough out of thousands of applicants? Forget that they’ve all been to prison for at least five years!
Josh: For committing crimes!
Donna: Still, they submitted petitions to justice that took two years to inch from desk to desk. None of them are violent, although by now I would be. None of them have priors. A lot of them, their judges spoke at their sentencing against the harshness of what they had to impose!
Josh: Doesn’t mean we stop scrutinizing…
Donna: Scrutinize away! You tell me, do we toss out Daisy Ames, mother of three, two jobs, had a boyfriend who stored a kilo in her closet? She’s done eight years and is facing eleven more. That’s longer than rapists and child molesters get. There’s about 15 Daisys in here. Do we pick three?
Josh: Donna…
Donna: You haven’t read these files or looked at these photos, and I don’t blame you. I wish I never had. But I don’t see a list anymore. These are people. If you wanna cull them, jump in. I’m done.
