  • Donna Moss: What's take out the trash day?
  • Josh Lyman: Friday.
  • Donna Moss: I mean, what is it?
  • Josh Lyman: Any stories we have to give the press that we're not wild about, we give all in a lump on Friday.
  • Donna Moss: Why do you do it in a lump?
  • Josh Lyman: Instead of one at a time?
  • Donna Moss: I'd think you'd want to spread them out.
  • Josh Lyman: They've got X column inches to fill, right? They're going to fill them no matter what.
  • Donna Moss: Yes.
  • Donna Moss: So if we give them one story, that story's X column inches.
  • Josh Lyman: And if we give them five stories...
  • Josh Lyman: They're a fifth the size.
  • Donna Moss: Why do you do it on Friday?
  • Josh Lyman: Because no one reads the paper on Saturday.
  • Donna Moss: You guys are real populists, aren't you?
