Bartlet and Abbey's Inaugural Limousine

Plush interior seats President Bartlet, Abbey, Charlie, Ed, and Larry during the inaugural motorcade. Bartlet and Abbey exchange teasing barbs about canceling the parade; Bartlet digs in with stubborn pride while Abbey deflates his pomposity. Charlie reports the ceremonial Bible's absence due to a frozen Metroliner and budget cuts. The vehicle descends into an underground lot as ceremony frays into frustration.

Too Cold for a Parade / The Missing Bible

The inaugural limousine is the immediate private setting for the President and Abbey's teasing, carrying them through the procession until it pulls into the underground lot where the missing-Bible revelation occurs. It functions as intimate theatrical space that collapses into a backstage administrative zone.

Before: Carrying Bartlet and Abbey through the motorcade; warm, insulated interior used for private conversation.

After: Parked in the underground lot; occupants disembarked to address the logistical problem.
