Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the first thing that Sam said to Josh when Josh walked into the conference room?

Answer: "I thought you'd never call."

The show started out with Josh flying somewhere, but viewers weren't sure of where he was going until he walked into the conference room where Sam was in a meeting. After excusing himself from the meeting, Sam made this comment to Josh before walking out with him.
2. CJ took Josh's job offer.

Answer: False

While in CJ's office discussing the details of the Inauguration, Josh told CJ that he asked Sam to be Deputy Chief of Staff and offered her any job she wanted in the administration. CJ didn't accept the offer, but Josh kept the offer open.
3. While on the phone with Otto in Washington, for what job did Josh say Otto was on the short list?

Answer: Vice President

Josh was on his way to Sam's new law firm and was giving Otto instructions over the phone since Otto was in Washington. When Otto asked what position he was being considered for, Josh said he was on the short list for VP.
4. How long of a deadline did Donna give Josh to figure out where their relationship was headed?

Answer: Four weeks

Donna knew that in eight weeks there would be the Inauguration and then the first one-hundred days, the midterms, the first four years, and then eight years would be up and they still wouldn't know where their relationship stood so Donna gave him a deadline of four weeks. On the plane to Josh's vacation destination, Donna accompanied him and Josh said taking a vacation was Sam's idea, but inviting her was his idea.
5. When Sam said Josh coming into his office was like a piece of nostalgic symmetry, Sam was referring to Josh coming to get him nine years ago for Governor Bartlet's campaign.

Answer: True

Nine years ago in the pouring rain, Josh walked into the offices of Gage Whitney law firm to get Sam after he discovered that Josiah Bartlet was 'the real thing'. Josh said his entrance into Sam's new law firm was for 'style points and substance too'.
6. To get back at Sam for making the comment about his pallor, what did Josh say was an oxymoron in California?

Answer: Healthy glow

After Josh offered Sam the position of Deputy Chief of Staff, Sam said he didn't want to end up looking like Josh. Josh smirked and said that healthy glow was an oxymoron in California.
7. What position did Josh offer Lou?

Answer: Communication Director

Lou was in the OEOB transition office for hours before she and Josh were actually able to meet. Josh offered Lou a job as Communications Director, but Lou refused at first. Later, Josh told Donna that Lou was going to be the new Communications Director.
8. Did Josh ask President-Elect Santos for permission to go on vacation?

Answer: Yes

After introducing Sam to President-Elect Santos, Josh said he was taking a vacation because he had never taken one and he yelled at Otto for no reason. Then he asked President-Elect Santos for permission. President-Elect Santos told Josh 'if didn't include a motorcade I would drive you to the airport myself'.
9. Donna was offered two jobs on this episode by Josh and Helen Santos. What job was Josh going to give her?

Answer: Deputy Press Secretary

Helen Santos offered Donna the job and Donna told Josh she was seriously thinking about taking it because she knew that no matter what happened between her and Josh they wouldn't be able to work together.
10. Was the call that President-elect Santos made to President Lien a setup perpetrated by President Bartlet and President-elect Santos?

Answer: Yes

CJ got onto Josh about not lying when he said that they would stay out of the impending negotiations. President-elect Santos made the call without Josh knowing about it, but no one knew it was a setup until the President thanked Santos for making the call and asked exactly what he had said.
