Object
Laurie's Front Door (Residential Threshold)
A residential front door marking the entrance to Laurie's house and the play's physical threshold. The script presents it as an operable exterior entry — a functioning knob/latch assembly paired with an exterior push-button doorbell (object_59ba99755538) — that characters use to gain or deny access. Late at night Sam and Josh press at this doorway; Laurie opens it half-dressed, confronts them, and closes it behind them, making the door an active stage for urgency and moral reckoning.

Purpose
To provide a controllable entry and exit for Laurie's home, regulating physical access and enabling private confrontation at the house threshold.
Significance
Serves as the scene's moral boundary and dramatic fulcrum: the doorway channels urgency, exposes Josh's ethical decline, isolates the White House's tactical desperation, and cements Laurie as the conscience figure who refuses to cross that threshold.
