## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [Regina and Lily discuss Philip's situation from the previous day.]

#### Jail Early Birds

> **Regina**I just wish he'd pick up the phone! How far could that old man have gotten, you know?**Lily**They must have plane tickets home.
> Or, I mean... they weren't put on a LIST or anything, were they?
> They can actually get ON a plane, right?**Regina**I have no idea! There's no handbook for rogue grandpas!**Regina**Okay, well we'll just have to ask Juan-Miguel. I'm sure he'll be here soon!
> I'm really worried, Lils. I'm gonna go try to find Juan-Miguel.**Lily**I get it, Regina. You go find Juan-Miguel. I'll handle the pergola.**Regina**You're the best, Lils.[Regina exits.]**Lily**All right, Mrs. Kennedy. It's just you and me and this pergola!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Now that's what I call a pergola!
> Not that I have called anything a pergola before.

#### State Visits

> **Lily**Regina's not back yet. Right. I'll get this place up to Jackie's standards on my own.

*Player selects an option*

> [Regina runs over to Lily.]**Regina**I can't find him anywhere! What is he, the James Bond of gardeners?**Lily**Oh, Regina! There he is! He is coming this way right now!**Regina**Juan-Miguel, hey! Hi! Do you know where my grandpa is?? Is he okay??**Juan-Miguel**Oh, good morning, ladies!
> Regina, yes, your grandfather and his friend were returned to their hotel last night.**Regina**But he's not answering his phone...**Juan-Miguel**Oh! Yes. Their phones were confiscated. That is standard procedure.
> They'll be searched and wiped of any sensitive data. But they'll be fine!**Regina**Whew. I'm sorry about this, Juan-Miguel. I have no idea how they even knew we were here!**Juan-Miguel**Ah, well. It seems you two are incredibly popular, actually.**Regina**Oh no.**Lily**Us??**Juan-Miguel**You have even more friends here to visit you...[Luke, Karen, and Roxy arrive.]**Lily**Oh my gosh!! Hi guys!**Juan-Miguel**I feel like the words TOP SECRET do not inspire the gravitas they once did.

#### Whistleblower

> **Regina**I'm gonna let her catch up with the fam and handle these bushes so we stay on schedule.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**What are you guys doing here?? Is everything okay??**Luke**Yeah, babe, all good! Karen wanted to see the White House. And I missed you!
> I... but... Luke! You weren't supposed to tell her we were working here!**Karen**Ope. Dad's in trubs.**Luke**Really?? I thought that was, like...a joke...**Regina**Wait wait wait. Luke, have you just been blabbing to everyone that we're working here?**Luke**No! No way! Not... to everyone. I mean, I didn't tell, like... Melissa...**Karen**I did, when we picked up the box of buns for the ride to the airport.**Dog**Borf!**Regina**Your man here spilled the state secrets to everyone we know, Lils.
> That's why Grandpa and Otis are here. Mr. Mission Impossible here is a leak.

#### Presidential Pardon

> **Lily**Juan-Miguel, I am SO sorry...**Luke**It seriously wasn't a joke?? Top secret gardening?? Really?**Juan-Miguel**Haha, it's fine, Lily. I mean, let's not tell the President.
> She's a stickler for rules, especially when it comes to security.
> But I don't think your friends and family pose any danger.**Lily**Thank goodness. I'm still really sorry.**Juan-Miguel**Mr. Lorenzo, I'll just need a list of everyone you told. All their contact info.**Luke**Sure...dude...**Lily**This is Juan-Miguel! He's the Head Groundskeeper here at the White House.**Karen**Cool.**Luke**Nice to meet you.**Juan-Miguel**You too, Mr. Lorenzo. Now, let's go get that contact info--**Lily**Oh, actually, Juan-Miguel! Can you help me with the pergola lights, first?
> I want them to be perfect.**Luke**I can help, Lils.**Lily**Oh, thanks, Luke, but Juan-Miguel knows what perfect means for the White House. You know?**Luke**Hrm. I guess.**Juan-Miguel**It would be my pleasure!

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**They kinda just look like lights to me, but whatever.**Juan-Miguel**Okay, let's get going.
> Back in a bit, ladies![Juan-Miguel and Luke exit.]

#### Cool if True

> **Lily**Well, you and Roxy can hang with us while we work. Sound good?**Dog**Borf!**Karen**I mean, sure. Cool. Whatever. This place is cool. For a white house.**Regina**Time to get this pathway laid out.

*Player selects an option*

> **Karen**So, like, have you met President Yuan?**Lily**Yeah! She's amazing!**Karen**Cool. She seems cool. For a grown-up.
> I read she was into science. And gardening. And healthcare. And world peace.**Lily**She's a really smart lady. I mean, she hired us!**Regina**Maybe you'll get to meet her, kiddo.**Karen**Word. I have some ideas I'd like to run by her.
> You know, in case I ever got to govern the free world.

#### A Few Good Dogs

> **Lily**Karen, do you want to help us with the Presidential Weeding?**Karen**Weeds are weeds no matter where they grow, Lily. That's science.**Lily**Fair point.**Karen**But sure, I'll help. Ask not what your country can do etc etc etc.**Regina**I can't believe you guys managed to get Roxy in here.**Lily**I didn't even know they allowed pets in the White House!**Karen**Oh, Roxy wanted to come. We couldn't leave her behind.
> She's super patriotic. Obviously.**Karen**Right, girl?
> ...girl?**Regina**Oh no. Where's the dog??

#### Roxy AWOL

> **Luke**We're back!
> Hey... what's going on?**Karen**Roxy's missing! She must have run off!**Juan-Miguel**Oh, I hope she hasn't gone and messed with the Chief, the First Cat.
> He's the real boss of this house, you know.**Karen**We have to find her! She could be arrested!**Juan-Miguel**Okay, okay, little miss. Don't worry! Juan-Miguel is on the case.**Luke**I mean, she's MY dog...**Juan-Miguel**Everybody spread out. There's lots of fun little spots for a pup to hide out here.**Lily**Don't worry, Karen, we'll find her!

*Tap to find Roxy*

> **Juan-Miguel**Found her! Napping amongst the flowers like the good dog she is, right, girl?**Dog**Borf!**Karen**Oh man! That was scary! Thanks, Mr. JM, you're the best!**Luke**This guy is way too smooth.

#### Secret Spilling Service

> **Regina**Lils, hey. Come here.[Regina and Lily walk off to the side.]**Regina**Luke looks... like maybe y'all should take a minute.**Lily**He what?[Lily looks at Luke.]**Lily**Ohhhh. Geez. You're right.**Regina**I'll handle these bushes. You go handle your man.**Lily**Thanks, Regina.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Luke, hey. I'm sorry everything is so crazy. I just had no idea you'd be here!**Luke**Well, yeah. That's kinda the point of a surprise, hon...**Lily**We're trying really hard to impress the President. So I'm...distracted.
> But it's really great to have you here. I hope you're proud of me!**Luke**Ah, Lils. Of course I am. This is totally amazing.
> You're killing it. Like I knew you would.**Luke**I mean. Not KILLING... I shouldn't say that here, huh? Down, secret service agents!**Lily**Haha... maybe don't make jokes about the secret service.
> As far as I can tell, they don't do...jokes. Or humor, really, at all.**Luke**Tough crowd.

#### The Darkest Web

*Meanwhile, at the FBI, where they also don't do jokes...*

> **Isabel**You're awfully quiet, Wells.**Whitney**You said you prefer to study in complete silence. I'm accommodating your needs.**Isabel**Well, I'm getting bored. We can change it up.
> I've already solved this cipher fiver different ways, anyway. What are you working on?**Whitney**Internet threat assessment. The dark web is a dark and scary place.
> I've already flagged what I need for the class, but...**Isabel**But what?**Whitney**I found something else.**Isabel**What did you find?**Whitney**A... darker web.
> A... darkest web, perhaps.**Isabel**Whoa. What's on there?**Whitney**Bad stuff, Isabel. Bad, bad stuff. Even some threats to the president.**Isabel**Is it real? Are the threats legitimate?**Whitney**Not sure yet. That's why I'm going to get to the bottom of the darkest web...
> And then I'm gonna turn the light on.

#### A Working Marriage

> **Luke**Say Lils, they're selling tickets to those double-decker tour buses nearby.
> Wanna go full tourist? We can buy matching t-shirts and take a million pictures.**Lily**That sounds really fun...
> But I'm working with a really high profile customer. I can't just leave early.**Luke**Oh... yeah, of course. Duty calls.**Lily**But maybe you can stay here and help out? If you want to...**Luke**Want to? I'd love to! What's first, boss-wife?**Lily**Weeding, my dear subordinate-husband.
> Well done, employee. You have earned one kiss.**Luke**Wahoo! I love working.

#### Shears & Careers

> **Karen**So you're a gardener too?
> Does that mean you constantly get into international hijinks like Lily?**Juan-Miguel**Sometimes... but most days I just trim hedges.

*Player selects an option*

> **Juan-Miguel**Like that! Though, to be fair, I have been known to encounter the occasional hijink.
> I once gave the Dutch Ambassador a tulip! You would not believe her face.**Karen**Yeah. Sounds funny...**Juan-Miguel**Are you interested in the gardening arts, Karen?**Karen**Me? Nah! We just had a career fair at school and I've found my true calling.
> I'm going to become a video game QA tester!**Hazel**Are you sure you wouldn't rather become the president?**Karen**Madam President! Future QA Tester Karen Lorenzo at your service.

#### President Karen

> **Karen**Wow! President Yuan! I can't believe I'm meeting you.
> You are the President, right? Or are you one of her body doubles?**Hazel**I gave my body doubles the afternoon off. I'm the real deal.**Karen**Cool, cool, super cool, very cool, incredibly cool.**Regina**You okay over there, Karen?**Karen**I just... um... I... well...
> Wanna see me trim a tree? Lily taught me how.**Hazel**Sure, Karen. Show me what you got.

*Player selects an option*

> **Karen**Do you like it, Madam President?**Hazel**A job well done.
> If QA testing or being President doesn't work out, you'll make a lovely gardener.**Karen**Really?! You think so? Thank you!**Regina**Not a single sarcastic comment from Karen?
> Being president must give you some sort of super power...

#### Long-Distance Lily

> **Luke**What next? Does the White House need a new coat of paint?
> I'm thinking "hot rod flames."**Lily**Uhhh... let's stick to the foliage for now.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**The bushes are looking bushy. Great work, Luke.**Luke**Thanks, hon. It's really nice being here. It's been ages since we've seen each other.**Lily**Luke, it's only been four days!**Luke**Yeah, but living alone in our house makes every day feel longer.
> And it used to be your house! Every floorboard reminds me of you.**Lily**Awww! All these big changes must be pretty tough.**Luke**Thankfully business is going well, so there are enough distractions...
> But I just miss you buddy. You make out house a home.**Lily**Well you're here now. Let's not waste a single second we have together.

#### Who's Jealous?

> **Luke**Onto these bushes, right? I'll get to it.**Lily**Actually, Juan-Miguel taught me a really simple technique to get even sides.
> Let me show you what he taught me!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**See? Simple and clean.**Luke**Yeah... this Juan-Miguel guy is something else, I guess.**Lily**He's a veteran gardener! He said he sees a lot of potential in me.**Luke**I see a lot of potential in you too! Boatloads of it.**Lily**Do I sense a bit of jealousy from you, Mr. Lorenzo?**Luke**Jealous? Me? Pfffft!
> Well, maybe a little bit...**Lily**That's very sweet, but there's nothing to worry about. He's just a good mentor.
> But what about you, Jealous Johnny?
> Anybody back home that I should be worried about?**Luke**Well, Philip and Otis have been complimenting my croquet form...**Lily**Philip and Otis! We NEED to talk about Philip and Otis.

#### My Executor's Keeper

> **Lily**You need to make sure Philip and Otis get home safe.**Luke**Oh come on, Lils. They can take care of themselves.**Lily**I have a police record which states differently!**Luke**What do you expect me to do? Throw 'em in my luggage?
> They have plane tickets. They'll get home on their own.**Lily**Fine. Just worry about yourself.**Luke**I will! And I'll worry about this tree too!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**It looks great, you big jerk.**Luke**Thanks, you equally big jerk!
> Oh what am I saying? I'm sorry. You're not a jerk.
> I just wanted to spend time with you without worrying about any drama.**Lily**I know. But drama just keeps finding us, doesn't it?**Luke**Listen, I'll stay for one night and then I'll make sure everyone gets home safe.**Luke**I just don't want to leave if we're both still angry at each other.**Lily**All is forgiven. How can I stay angry at the cutest boy in the whole world?

#### Free in D.C.

> [Regina calls Philip.]**Regina**Pick up, gramps. Pick up.**Philip Jones**If it ain't my favorite granddaughter... what's happening, Regina?**Regina**What's happening?! I'm more interested in what happened!**Philip Jones**Prison? It was fun! Got to practice my harmonica.
> Now that we're free, Otis and I are gonna take a quick dip in the Reflecting Pool.**Regina**Gramps, that's not for swimming!**Philip Jones**Hehe, gotcha! You think us old timers want to go swimming?
> We just ate! We'll get cramps.
> Anyways, we'll stop by tomorrow to say goodbye then fly back home. See ya then.[The call ends.]**Regina**\*SIGH\* They're fine. They're flying back tomorrow.**Luke**Hmmmm, I wonder if they'll be on the same flight as me and Karen.**Regina**They worry me all night, while they're just laughing and laughing?
> I need to get some aggression out. Luke, find me something to hammer!

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**Great! But did you have to call the lamps "Philip" and "Otis" while you hit them?**Regina**Buddy, just be thankful I didn't start calling you "Philip".

#### A Friend Divided

> **Lily**Would you guys mind taking care of the cabin?
> Regina's upset. Somebody has to take care of her.**Karen**We can handle it.
> Pops, Juan-Miguel, enough lollygagging! We gotta go full Lincoln on this cabin.**Regina**Stupid idiots with their stupid ways and their stupid stuff and stupid, stupid.**Lily**You okay, Regina? It's been a tough couple of days for you.**Regina**I just... oh man... I don't wanna cry in front of the president.
> My health scare, Whitney being far away, my annoying grandpa...**Hazel**Let it out. Emotions are nothing to be embarrassed about.
> You've taken care of everyone else. It's time you take care of yourself.**Karen**Move it people we got a job to do!**Juan-Miguel**Your daughter is very precocious, Luke. I like her.**Luke**Being precocious runs in the family. Along with sheer talent.**Juan-Miguel**Those sound like great genetics...**Luke**Wanna see how good at construction I am? I'm really good. One of the best, really.

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**What do you think of them apples, Juan-Miguel?**Juan-Miguel**They are very good apples, Luke. I am...um...very impressed!

#### Cabin Essence

> **Karen**I have done my quality assurance work on the cabin and I've found some issues.**Juan-Miguel**What can we do to fix these issues, QA Tester Karen?**Karen**Decorations! Plenty of them!

*Player selects an option*

> **Karen**Ticket resolved and verified. Nice teamwork everyone.**Hazel**Let's call it a day. Luke, Karen, Roxy, it was lovely to meet you.**Juan-Miguel**Agreed. Safe flight back tomorrow!**Hazel**And ladies, tomorrow we begin work on the sculpture garden.
> So get plenty of rest! And take care of yourself. That's an order.**Regina**Will do, Madam President. Nothing but massages and martinis for us tonight.

*At FBI Headquarters...*

> **Whitney**Oh yes! I mean oh no! I mean... big news!**Isabel**What are you yelling about, Wells? I'm trying to relax.**Whitney**I just found something huge! It's so terrible.**Isabel**Then why are you smiling?**Whitney**I'm trying not to but I'm so proud of myself.**Isabel**Out with it. What did you find?**Whitney**Threats against the president! Isn't that the worst thing you've ever heard?
> I have uncovered...a plot!

#### Start New Day

> [Isabel approaches Whitney on the FBI campus.]**Isabel**Wells, how are you up earlier than me? I'm always the first one up.**Whitney**Easy! I didn't sleep last night.
> I was too busy checking to see if the threats against the president are legitimate.**Isabel**You didn't get any sleep? That's irresponsible as heck, Wells.**Whitney**I'll be fine.[Whitney yawns.]**Whitney**It's not like we're defusing bombs or anything.**Isabel**Whitney... it's bomb defusal day. We're defusing bombs.**Whitney**Oh... Yeah, I might be in trouble...
