TOBY: If our job teaches us anything, it’s that we don’t know what the next president’s gonna face. If we choose someone with vision, someone with guts, someone with… gravitas who’s connected to other people’s lives and cares about making them better… if we choose someone to inspire us, then we’ll be able to face what comes our way and achieve things we can’t imagine yet. Instead of telling people who’s the most qualified, instead of telling people who’s got the better ideas, let’s make it obvious. It’s gonna be hard.
JOSH: Then we’ll do what’s hard.

Josh walks into the operating room where Donna is lying on a gurney and is prepped for surgery after some complications. Josh walks over to her side.
JOSH: I just talked to the doctor, they said it’s no big deal.
Donna writes something on a pad of paper and shows it to Josh. It says “NICE HAT”.
JOSH: Yeah. Stylish, huh. They tell you what they’re going to do?
She nods her head.
JOSH: It’s gonna be a snap.
She again writes on the pad and shows it to Josh. This time it says “SCARED”.
JOSH: Yeah. Don’t be. You’re going to be fine, okay?
DOCTOR: Okay, Donna, here we go.
