Josh: How's he [Bartlet] doing in there?
Sam: Oh, he's got that look on his face like he's thinking about ways to kill himself. | Toby: What, I'm not coming in the car?
Bartlet: No, and you know why? Because you made fun of the guacamole.
Toby: I didn't!
Bartlet: I could tell you were thinking it.
Toby: Fair enough. | Josh: She said she was with somebody.
Donna: Oh, Josh!
Josh: Donna, she's with somebody.
Donna: She could've just been saying that.
Josh: Why would she have just been saying that?
Donna: For the allure. | Josh: I'm not gonna knock on her door at one in the morning.
Donna: Yes, 'cause you're whisking back to Washington and you had to see her one more time before you left 'cause God knows what fate awaits you when you get there.
Josh: Are you okay? | C.J.: Pretend like you're talking to me again.
Sam: Okay, but this time let's use code names.
C.J.: Where's Josh?
Sam: He's over there talking to that woman.
C.J.: Interesting.
Sam: Of course it's possible they're just pretending to be talking.
