Bartlet: It's going to be great! We're going to race the sun to the Pacific horizon!
CJ: I'll tell them that, sir. I'm sure it'll pick them right up.

Josh: It's one in the morning!
Donna: Knock on her door.
Josh: I'm not gonna knock on her door at one in the morning.

Josh: Are you okay?
Donna: Gather ye rosebuds Josh.

Bartlet: I'm just saying you can't blame me. That's what comes of having an even number of Senators.
