Episode Quotes |
| |
Danny: I'm sorry, Mr. President. You didn't answer the question.
Bartlet: I was hoping you weren't going to notice that, Danny.
Danny: I did, sir.
Bartlet: Then I will tell you that I agree, the Republican party does not have a comprehensive program for combating poverty in this country. That being said, there are countless Republicans who are working very hard to change their party's legacy on some of these issues. And I hope to be working with them to do just that.
Danny: I'm sure that was an answer to some question, Mr. President. It just wasn't the answer to mine.
| C.J.: Josh.
Josh: What the hell happened?
C.J.: I had root canal.
Josh: What happened to your cheeks?
C.J.: I had root canal.
Josh: Why are you talking like that?
C.J.: I had root canal!
Josh: Yeah, I heard you the first time. I was just amusing myself.
C.J.: I can suggest some other things you can do with yourself.
Josh: Are you in pain?
C.J.: I had root canal!
Josh: You're going to have to stop saying that because you just look and sound so ridiculous.
| Josh: Okay, good, that's a start. Tell me what you think I should do right now.
Donna: Go into your office and come up with a secret plan to fight inflation.
| Josh: Yeah. A long story short, you're gonna be reading a bit today about your secret plan to fight inflation.
Bartlet: I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh: No.
Bartlet: Why am I gonna be reading that I do?
Josh: It was suggested in the Press Room that you did.
Bartlet: By who?
Josh: By me.
Bartlet: You told the press I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh: No, I did not. Let me be absolutely clear, I did not do that. Except, yes, I did that.
Bartlet: Josh, I'm a little confused.
Josh: Sir, there was this idiotic round robin. It was sarcastic. There's no way they didn't know that. They were just mad at me for imposing discipline and calling them stupid!
Bartlet: Okay, before we go on. C.J., if blood is gushing from the head wound you just received from a stampeding herd of bison, you'll do the press briefing.
| C.J.: Then what was he pulled over for?
Sam: Driving while being... Hispanic?
| C.J.: Why'd he refuse the breathalyzer?
Toby: Because he's a crazy man who's out to ruin my life.
