Charlie's Jacket

Charlie grabs his jacket in the Outer Oval Office and pulls it on with quick efficiency, steeling himself to fetch President Bartlet from the inner office 'security briefing'—a seating chart for the inauguration. The motion caps banter with Josh about Navy pants buttons and dress sabers, cutting through TV reports on Khundu as C.J. and Reporter Mark linger nearby.
