Lord John Marbury: A few days, a few months, however long it takes is as long as I shall serve.
Leo: Let's play it by ear.
Lord John Marbury: And I looked and I beheld a pale horse, and the name that sat on him was death and hell followed with him.
Mrs. Landingham: How are you, Josh?
Josh: I've been subpoenaed.
Mrs. Landingham: Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Would you like a cookie?
Toby: How could the CIA miss 300,000 armed people?
Bartlet: They didn't exactly miss them, in fact they've got a very good photo now.
Toby: Yeah but the idea is to spot them before they cross the border, right?
Bartlet: Yeah.
Toby: Oops.
Mandy: We're going to look good in California.
Josh: I'm going to look pale.
Mandy: I meant the president.
Josh: I know. I'm just saying.
Bartlet: There's an India expert I want to bring in.
Leo: Who? (Realizing) No.
Bartlet: You guys are going to love him.
Leo: He's a lunatic.
Bartlet: He's colorful.
Leo: He's certifiable.
Sam: Who?
Bartlet: Lord John Marbury. Former ambassador to New Delhi from the court of St.
James.
Sam: Where do we find him?
Leo: A psychiatric institution.
Bartlet: He's colorful, Leo.
Leo: You're really going to let him loose in the White House with his liquor and
women.
Bartlet: We can hide the women. But the man deserves a drink.
Toby: Where'd you get this stuff?
Larry: I swear to God, the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Bartlet: My daughter asked you out?
Charlie: Yes, sir.
Bartlet: I should have locked her in the dungeon.
Charlie: I don't think you've got one, sir.
Bartlet: I could have built one.
Bartlet: Zoey just asked Charlie out on a date. (beat) Shut up!
Bartlet: Well, this just keeps getting better and better.
Bartlet: I'll take the Indian ambassador in the Oval Office.
Charlie: Yes, sir.
Bartlet: Then, if you could, ask the Secret Service to step in and kill me, please.
Sam: You're a cheap hack. And if you come after Leo McGarry I'm going to bust you like a pinata.
John: Allow me to present myself. Lord John Marbury. I was summoned by your
President.
Leo: Yes, we've met. Ten or twelve times. I'm Leo McGarry.
John: Oh. I thought you were the butler.
Leo: I don't even think the accent's real.
Leo: He thinks I'm the butler.
Bartlet: For the first couple of weeks so did I.
Bartlet: Say, listen. My hesitation about you going out with Zoey before, you know, it's not 'cause you're black.
Charlie: I didn't think it was.
Bartlet: It's not.
Charlie: I thought it was 'cause I'm a guy.
Bartlet: It is.
John: I'm ah, back -- uh and I believe there are many more people in the room.
Leo: Excellent deducing, Your Lordship.
Bartlet: All I'm trying to do right now, I'm trying to avoid eye contact with the CIA director.
CIA Director: We dropped the ball.
Bartlet: Pick it up again, would you.
Toby: Well, I feel better already.
CJ: You should take a lawyer.
Josh: I am a lawyer.
CJ: You should take a real lawyer.
CJ: Josh said he didn't need a lawyer.
Leo: Oh good, I like the sound of this.
CJ: They don't know me, I'm from nowhere. I was just starting to get credible. I was just starting to get their respect. Do you know how long it's going to take me to get it back?. . . . 'Don't ask C.J., she doesn't know anything'. . . .
Toby: There is a concern that you're too friendly with the press.
CJ: Really.
Toby: We know that it is important that you have a friendly relationship. . . .
CJ: It's important to all of us.
Toby: I don't disagree.
CJ: Does this have anything to do with Danny Concannon?
Toby: People see you with Danny.
CJ: This is outrageous.
Toby: It is just this one time and if we erred it was on the side of. . . .
CJ: You sent me in there uninformed so that I would lie to the press.
Toby: We sent you in there uninformed cause we thought there was a chance you couldn't.
Bartlet: Is he here? Send him in.
Leo: God, help me, please.
Bartlet: John.
John: Mr. President.
Bartlet: How was your flight?
John: Intoxicating.
Leo: So, I see.
Leo: Oh, I'm afraid we don't allow smoking in this part of the world.
John: Really.
Leo: Yes, sir. . .
John: It's your Lordship, as a matter of fact, but it really couldn't make the least difference. . . .(to the President) What is your take on the on the situation?
Bartlet: The world is coming apart at the seams.
John: Well, then thank God you sent for me.
Toby: I feel I didn't have the opportunity to properly articulate my argument.
CJ: Either I'm a trusted member of the communications staff or I'm not, Toby. What was your argument?
Toby: That was my argument.
CJ: That wasn't your argument.
Toby: That was my argument a little while ago when I was arguing in my head.
CJ: Are you apologizing?
Toby: Yes.
CJ: Whose idea was it?
Toby: Mine.
CJ: You were the one who said India's invaded Pakistan. Let's not tell C.J.
Toby: I didn't say it like that.
CJ: How did you say it?
Toby: I said it nicer.
Leo: I wanted to tell you that Josh's deposition did not go well and that the story will probably break soon.
Bartlet: How you doing?
Leo: I'm fine.
Bartlet: Don't you ever forget the battles you've fought and won.
Leo: Yes, sir.
Lord John Marbury: I'm back, and I believe there are many more people in the room.
Leo: Excellent deducing your lordship.
Bartlet: John, I was hoping you'd stick around for a couple of days and help us out.
Lord John Marbury: A few days, a few months, however long it takes is as long as I shall serve.
Leo: Let's play it by ear.
Lord John Marbury: And I looked and I beheld a pale horse, and the name that sat on him was death and hell followed with him.
