Meanwhile, President Bartlet decides that he wants to sign his Christmas cards by hand -- all 100,000 of them. Sam confronts the Energy Secretary after he advocates the use of federal oil reserves.

Episode Quotes
 
Leo: This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up: "Hey, you! Can you help me out? " The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up: " Father, I'm down in this hole. Can you help me out? " The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by: " Hey, Joe, it's me. Can you help me out? " And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here. " The friend says: "Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.
 
Bernard: C.J., your necklace is a monument to bourgeois taste.
C.J.: Thank you.
Bernard: You're welcome.
 
C.J.: You see, you try very hard to be mean, but then you see that being nice is better.
Bernard: You're a freakishly tall woman.
C.J.: So, that moment's over, then?
Bernard: Yes.
 
(about his meeting with Dr. Keyworth)
