Episode Quotes |

C.J.: Mr. President. Did you by any chance take your back pills?
Bartlet: I don’t mind telling you C.J. I was in a little pain there.
Leo: Which did you take, sir, the Vicadin or the Percocet?
Bartlet: I wasn’t supposed to take ‘em both? | Leo: There are two things in the world you never want to let people see how you make 'em: laws and sausages. | C.J.: Excuse me, Toby. I'm heading out to lunch and I'm a little short. You wouldn't happen to have $125,000 I could borrow? | Sam: Where are you going?
Josh: Where are you going?
Sam: I was following you.
Josh: I was following you. All right, don't tell anyone this happened, okay? | C.J.: Okay, Mr. President, we're going to have someone take you back to bed.
Bartlet: No no no. Sit sit sit. One of you's got a problem, and I'm here to help. You guys are like family. You've always been there for me. You've always been loyal, honest, hard-working good people, and I love you all very much, and I don't say that often enough. (to Sam) So, tell me what the problem is, Toby.
Sam: I'm Sam, sir.
Bartlet: Sam, of course you are. | Toby: There's literally no one in the world that I don't hate right now. |
