ENEMIES

Descriptions

From TVGuide.com:

Word leaks out that Bartlet and the Vice President (Martin Sheen, Tim Matheson) clashed at a cabinet meeting; Mallory (Allison Smith) invites Sam (Rob Lowe) to the opera; Leo tries to prove a point to his daughter.

From NBC:

A crucial banking bill is at risk when political rivals of environmentally sensitive President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) attach a land-use rider to it that would allow strip-mining some of the Montana wilderness. C.J. (Allison Janney) tries to stamp out rumors that the Chief Executive chastised the Vice President (Tim Matheson) during a cabinet meeting. An overworked Leo (John Spencer) isn't too keen on his independent daughter, Mallory (Allison Smith), dating the handsome Sam (Rob Lowe). C.J. continues to fend-off the romantic charms of a perceptive reporter (Timothy Busfield) with a knack for sniffing out juicy stories. Former lovers Mandy (Moira Kelly) and Josh (Bradley Whitford) clash over the administration's attempt to jettison the land-use rider that might also ruin passage of the more important banking bill.

Question: I know that Aaron sometimes gets backed up between the shows? What's the longest time you had to wait for a script?

The same day. We actually had one episode where we never got a complete script until after the taping was over. The actual show came out pretty good though. It was the episode where Rob's character had to write a birthday greeting from the President to the assistant agricultural secretary. For me, the episode was fun. It was different. - Dulé Hill
