## Dialogue

#### Opening Scene

> [Lily and Regina walk into the White House Gardens.]

#### Sculpt Your Path

> **Regina**Look at all these rates! It feels like that Indiana Jones warehouse.**Lily**A random pop culture reference? Sounds like somebody misses their girlfriend.**Regina**Oh shush![Hazel Yuan approaches Lily and Regina.]**Hazel**Morning, ladies. Ready for a foray into sculpture curation?**Lily**Of course. Any guiding themes or ideas we should stick to?**Hazel**Well this is a collection of Chinese art which the US "acquired" a long time ago.**Regina**"Aquired"? Yeah, I think I get what you're saying...**Hazel**We'll be returning these later next month, as a show of goodwill.
> But I wanted to exhibit them here one last time...
> As an expression of our nation's ever-growing diversity!**Regina**Love it! We can set up some displays all across the garden.**Lily**And we'll bring them all together via a central pathway...

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Exactly! And now the real work begins.

#### In the mood for buds

> **Lily**Sculptures are a LITTLE out of my purview...
> But plants? I know plants. Let's add some plants.

*Player selects an option*

> **Hazel**Great work, Lily. Can't have a sculpture garden without a garden, right?**Lily**Yep. Maybe I should just stick to the garden part of it?
> I'm not much of a sculpture expert...**Hazel**I know plenty about the history and cultural significance of these works...
> But I don't know how an audience will react to it. That's where you two come in!**Regina**So you need some dumb folks to make sure this isn't too smart?**Hazel**No. I would never say that!
> I truly value your perspectives.**Regina**Spoken like a true politician.

#### Sculpture Setter

> **Regina**Now let's place our first sculpture.**Lily**But which one? There are so many to choose from.**Hazel**Use your instincts! Something striking, sophisticated, and spectacular.

*Player selects an option*

> **Hazel**Perfect! If it were any more striking, I'd have to call in my Secretary of Labor.**Lily**Hehe! The sculpture's doing all the work. It's magnificent.**Hazel**It's a reminder that humankind has been creating beauty for thousands of years.
> That's the power of historical artifacts. It connects us to people across time.**Lily**That type of empathy really is such a gift. Everyone should have access to history.**Hazel**Agreed. Unfortunately, many important artifacts get lost to time.
> In fact, we've recently seen a surge of US artifacts being lost.**Regina**What?! How do you lost an artifact? Have they checked between the couch cushions?**Hazel**Maybe it's accidental, but there are historical reports of groups vying for artifacts.**Regina**It's a reminder that humankind has always had some weirdos, eh?

#### Don't Touch

> **Hazel**Another spot for a sculpture! Perhaps some more plants are in order?

*Player selects an option*

> **Hazel**Exquiste. Almost effortless.**Regina**Don't be fooled, Madam President. That took A LOT of effort.**Lily**Working with such historic works of art can be pretty nervewracking.
> They're so expensive and so delicate...part of me feels like I shouln't even touch it...[Otis, Philip, and Juan-Miguel arrive.]**Otis**Look at that neato statue, Philip. I'm gonna touch its butt.**Juan-Miguel**Stop right there! These statues are immensely valuable.**Otis**I was gonna be gentle with its butt. I'm a gentleman.**Philip Jones**We should listen to the man, Otis. We don't want to end up in jail again.**Otis**You said you had fun in jail!**Philip Jones**I had fun in preschool too, but I ain't trying to go back.**Juan-Miguel**Will someone please help me?

#### Philip heads home

> **Lily**Regina's gotta say goodbye to her grandpa...
> Which leaves the choice of sculpture to us!

*Player selects an option*

> **Hazel**Stunning, Lily. Are you sure you're not a sculpture expert?**Philip Jones**We're heading home. Just stopping by to say goodbye.**Regina**Before you go, we gotta talk.
> It's nice seeing you act like a kid with your old bud.
> But honestly, I really don't like having to worry about you all the time.**Philip Jones**Shucks, I'm not trying to worry you, kiddo. I'm really not.**Regina**I know. But with you being part of my life and my work, I have to worry a lot.**Philip Jones**I get that. I do... I think I take you for granted sometimes...
> But just know: I'm proud of you. You're wonderful and you're doing great.**Regina**Wow, gramps. That's the least sarcastic thing you've ever said to me.
> Which is to say... thanks. I really needed that today.
> Now get home safe. Don't play any pranks on the air marshals, okay?**Philip Jones**Fine! I'll tell Otis to throw away the whoopie cushion...

#### High Explosives

> **Isabel**What's the best way to assemble this bomb?
> Different colored wires? Or is that too easy? Maybe four red wires?**Whitney**\*YAWN\* My favorite color is purple.**Isabel**Are you listening to me, Wells? You're the one who has to disarm it.**Whitney**I can yawn and listen at the same time, thank you very much.**Isabel**I don't care if we're being graded together...
> I'm gonna make a bomb that you'll never be able to disarm.**Whitney**I'll disarm it so hard that your brain will explode instead.**Isabel**Not a chance! Watch me go.**Whitney**Ooo! What gorgeous circuitry!**Isabel**Really? Thanks, It's my take on the Bigelow Technique.**Whitney**What am I saying? You're my rival. Your gorgeous circuitry stinks.**Isabel**No, you stink! The bomb is gonna blow up in your face like Wile E. Coyote.

#### Bomb Defusal

> **FBI Course Supervisor**Well done with the bomb assembly, Ms. Carrera.
> You have 5 minutes. Good luck.**Whitney**That'll be no \*YAWN\* problem.**Isabel**Focus, sleepyhead. We're being graded on this together, remember?**Whitney**I can handle it.
> Now where'd I put my sledgehammer?**Isabel**Oh man...**Whitney**Just kidding! I'll be delicate. Just a few snips and all will be well.**Isabel**You did it? You did it! Solid work, Wells.**Whitney**Your circuitry was so incredibly readable. It made my work easy.**Isabel**Happy to be of service. We make a good team, don't we?**Whitney**Totally! But now that we're done playing with bombs...
> I'm gonna focus on the real danger now... the threats against the president!**Isabel**I know a few avenues of investigation we can go down. Mind if I help out?**Whitney**That'd be great! Maybe Regina has seen some weirdness? I should call her.**FBI Course Supervisor**Ulp! These are real bomb materials.
> Boy, am I glad they didn't mess up...

#### So long, Luke

> **Lily**With Otis and Philip safe and out of the way, I am finally distraction-free.
> Plants prepare to be planted!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Plant-tastic![Lily's phone vibrates.]**Lily**Luke's calling! He must be waiting for his flight to take off.**Luke**Sup hon! Just wanted to call to say I love you!**Lily**Hehe! I love you too. I wish I could kiss you through the phone.
> Technology needs to catch up to our level of romance.**Luke**I'll miss you, bud. But it's good to know you're in the safest environment possible.**Lily**Yep! No mishaps here since the War of 1812.**Luke**Ha! While you keep up the good work, I'm starting on a new prop assignment.
> Between that and missing you terribly, I'll keep busy.
> Oh and I'm planning a big family dinner with Marco and Rachel and my sister and everybody!**Lily**That's an amazing idea... but it might need to wait a while.
> I'm so preoccupied in Washington. And I'd want to make that dinner as special as I can.**Luke**It'll be worth the wait. Now I gotta go. We're boarding. I love you!!!**Lily**Love you too. Have a safe flight, hubby buddy.

#### Safe Constructs

> **Lily**I miss Luke already!
> Ugh, focus Roberts. Get your head in the presidential game.
> Working will make me feel better. It always does!

*Player selects an option*

> [Lily's phone vibrates.]**Lily**Whit, hey! How are you?**Whitney**Lily! Regina isn't answering her phone.**Lily**Oh, well she's working with priceless statues at the moment, actually.
> I'm sure she just turned her phone off to be safe.**Whitney**Safety is a construct, Lily.**Lily**Not... when you're dealing with Chinese porcelain, Whit...
> Anyway, I'll tell her you called. I love that you guys check in so much.
> I bet after her health scare, it just makes her feel better.**Whitney**I... what? Health scare?? Lily, what are you talking about?**Lily**... Oh no.

#### Secrets Out

> **Regina**Hmm. I know which one we should feature right here. Yes, I've got it.
> Now just to get the statue up without breaking it.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Whew!**Lily**Regina!**Regina**Gah!**Lily**Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I was trying not to... startle you.
> While you were holding the priceless sculpture, I mean.**Regina**Yeah. Thanks. I'm fine, my heart rate is on the moon but I'm fine. What's up?**Lily**Whit just called me. Because she couldn't get a hold of you...**Regina**Oh, dang. I had my phone off...**Lily**I may have mentioned your health scare...**Regina**Lily! Come on!**Lily**Well, how was I supposed to know you STILL haven't told her, Regina??**Regina**What a mess. I need to call her.

#### His Holy Molyness

> **Hazel**Ladies, I think I know which sculpture would look perfect here.**Lily**Of course, Madam President.

*Player selects an option*

> **Hazel**When I was just a young senator, many, many years ago...
> It was my very first day of work on The Hill when the Dalai Lama visited.**Regina**Whoa.**Lily**Really???**Hazel**The Dalai Lama's staff got lost and led him to my office by mistake.
> I was so nervous that when his holiness asked for directions back to the Chamber...
> I announced that I had to use the ladies' room and ducked out the nearest door.**Regina**You didn't!**Lily**Oh my gosh!

> **Hazel**Problematically, the nearest door was to my coat closet.
> Where I stayed for the entire afternoon...
> Hiding from my staff, too embarrassed to tell anyone.**Regina**That's...completely wild... ma'am.**Hazel**Washington, DC can feel like the entire world hangs in the balance of every choice you make.
> Regina, don't let the largeness of this place, and this work, overwhelm you.
> And definitely don't let it trap you in a closet.**Lily**HA! I see what she did there.**Regina**Me too.
> Thanks ma'am. I'll go call Whit right now.

#### Special Ops

> **Juan-Miguel**Ladies, I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's a bit of a situation.
> I may have to escort you inside. We have an unexpected visitor...
> From a certain special federal bureau. Might be heightened security situation.
> Either way, the President will have to handle this one solo.**Lily**Oh my gosh! Of course, Juan-Miguel. Just... let us finish up these plants real quick!

*Player selects an option*

> **Juan-Miguel**Beautiful! All right, amigas, let's clear out.**Whitney**This area is quite secure.
> Very Alliance. 10/10 Would raid.**Regina**Whit?? What are you doing here?**Whitney**Regina! Lily! We're all in the White House!**Juan-Miguel**Ah... Special Agent Wells insists has information vital to national security...
> You two know each other?**Juan-Miguel**Uh. Yep.

#### Part of Us

> **Juan-Miguel**Let me just... fetch the president. Please don't go anywhere, Agent Wells.**Lily**Regina, I'll handle this other sculpture, okay?**Regina**Yeah, thanks Lils...**Lily**Hmmm. Which sculpture says: save me from this awkward, potentially illegal, moment?

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Whit, what are you doing here?**Whitney**Well, I do technically serve at the pleasure of the president.
> And you weren't answering my calls, Regina.**Regina**I'm sorry. We've been working with these priceless sculptures...**Whitney**Lily told me. She also told me you had bad health stuff you didn't tell me about.**Regina**I'm sorry about that too. I was going to. It was all fine in the end!
> I didn't want to scare you. Because there was nothing scary, it turns out.**Whitney**But you were scared. And I want to be scared with you. That's part of us.**Regina**I guess I'm just not good at being scared. With anyone. But I'll work on it.

#### Gardner in Black

> **Lily**I'll make like the Men in Black and just blend in with the scenery.
> Except this scenery definitely needs an upgrade!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Now there appears to be no avoiding this close encounter.[Hazel and Juan-Miguel approach Whitney.]**Hazel**Well, hello. Special Agent...**Whitney**Um! Madam President! I'm Special Agent Whitney Wells.
> Well. Actually. Special Agent... in training... Whitney Wells.
> It's an honor to meet you. I know I don't have to bow, but wow, I feel compelled to.**Regina**Whitney is my girlfriend, Madam President.**Hazel**I see...**Juan-Miguel**You said you had information for the President, though.**Whitney**I do! I actually do! You see, I did a deep dive into the Darkest Web for class, and I--**Hazel**I'm going to stop you right there, Special Agent. This is an enormous breach in protocol.
> You have several commanding officers you should report to. You cannot undermine them.
> Regina, and Lily, I'm sorry, I appreciate that this is a big opportunity for you.
> And your family and friends are very excited for you.
> But this is also the White House. And we have protocols for very good reasons.**Whitney**But--**Regina**Of course, Madam President. We're so sorry.**Hazel**Special Agent Wells, you are welcome to visit Regina. But please make it brief.[Hazel exits.]**Whitney**Yes ma'am.

#### Blame Game

> **Whitney**I really do have information for the president, Regina. You should have let me talk!**Lily**Oh look...
> Another statue for me to carefully place instead of being a part of this awkward moment.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Whit, Lily and I are going to get booted out of the White House!
> If people keep visiting us to see the President, we're never going to keep this job!**Whitney**Well, I was actually coming to see the president, Regina. Not you. Not this time.**Lily**Regina, I know there's a lot going on, but this is nobody's fault, okay?**Regina**Grandpa and Otis got arrested! Whitney is undermining her commanding officers!
> How can I help everyone fix everything at the same time??**Lily**Whoa, whoa. Nobody expects you to...**Whitney**I don't need you to fix anything, Regina. I just needed you to believe me.**Regina**I do. I do believe you. There's just a lot going on. And... it sounds kinda crazy.**Lily**I mean, technically, it was MY husband who blabbed to everyone we know.
> So that probably makes it my fauly. My mess to clean up. Not yours.
> But I understand how overwhelming it is. It's okay, Regina. We'll figure it out.**Regina**I do believe you, Whit...**Whitney**is this our target?
> One sec, guys.
> Negative, Skytalon, negative. My girlfriend is NOT a target.

#### A Political Plot

> **Lily**What's going on?**Regina**Sometimes she talks to herself when she's working through something.
> This probably means she's still mad at me. But she's talking herself out of it.**Lily**Well, we just have these lights left to finish for the day, so let's get that done.**Regina**Yeah. One problem at a time.

*Player selects an option*

> **Whitney**Skytalon, this is Axebeak, over.**Isabel**These names are dumb, Wells.**Whitney**You lost the rock, paper, scissors challenge, Skytalon. Get over it.**Isabel**Fine, fine. Listen, I was going over what you dug up on the other night on the Darkest Web.
> I stumbled upon correalting reports when I was doing my Counterintelligence homework.**Whitney**Really?**Isabel**I think it's a conspiracy, Axebeak. A real, actual, threat. I think you're right.**Whitney**Oh my gosh! I knew it! I just knew it, Skytalon!**Isabel**Someone's planning to kidnap the president. We have to stop it.**Whitney**The president is in danger! And so are Regina and Lily!

#### Start New Day

> **Lily**Ummm... guys? Should we really have our picnic here?**Regina**Of course. Pass the potato salad please.**Lily**But what about the piano dangling above our heads?**Regina**You worry too much! What's so dangerous about sitting under a piano?

*CRASH*
