CJ: Man alive do I love it when In Style magazine is issued press credentials. Mirabella needed to know what wine is being served with the fish course, so it's a good thing I went to school for 22 years.
Josh: What wine are we having?
CJ: It's wine. You'll drink it.

Josh: What's going on with the truckers?
Leo: I'm meeting with them in the Roosevelt room in an hour.
Josh: CJ's gonna need to know what they're wearing.
CJ: Yeah.

Bartlet: We're having salmon tonight.
Sugito: Yes.
Bartlet: Do you like salmon?
Sugito: No.
Bartlet: Our mistake.
Sugito: Yes.

Mandy: It really bugs you that the President listens to me sometimes.
Josh: Yes, but you shouldn't take it personally. It bugs me when the President listens to anyone who isn't me.

Mandy: This is why you hired me.
Josh: Yeah, I was wondering why that was.

Toby: I don't think we should remind people how friendly we were with dictators who oppressed their people while stealing their money.
Sam: How else are you going to steal people's money?
Toby: See that's good, write that in the toast.

Sam: Do you really think it's a good idea to invite people to dinner and then tell them exactly what they're doing wrong with their lives?
Toby: Absolutely. Otherwise it's just a waste of food.

Bartlet: I don't know if that man is boring or just rude.

Bartlet: Where's Toby sitting?
Leo: With CJ, Sam, and Josh.
Bartlet: Now that's the fun table.

Danny: What are you wearing tonight?
CJ: Your paper wants to know what I'm wearing?
Danny: No, it's just for me.

Josh: Prudent or not, once the scythe comes out, I'm probably going to haul ass.

Josh: I look good tonight, don't I?
Mandy: Yes.
Josh: You look good too, but I look even better.

Sam: (To Josh) We look good, don't we?
Mandy: Do you guys want to be alone?

Abigail: The truth will do it almost every time.

Carl Everett: (to Sam) I want to have a relationship with you.
Sam: You want to have a relationship with me? I cost $500 an hour.
Everett: I don't understand.
Sam: Would you like some of my food?

Abby: I was looking for the President.
Sam: He had to step out to the West Wing, I'm not sure why but I could go --
Abby: To pistol-whip the trucking industry.
Sam: Why would he --
Abby: Because he can't save a gun shot victim and he can't stop a hurricane.

Mandy: I'm gonna barf.

Bartlet: What do I do now?
Leo: Go to the party.

Translator: I didn't like the salmon.
Josh: What?
Toby: He's answering your question from like a half hour ago.

Bambang: Why don't we just speak in English?
Josh: Donna?!
Donna: You should think of the things I do right... Should I leave?

CJ: Danny, when you flirt with me, are you doing it to get a story?
Danny: No, I'm doing it to flirt with you.

Abby (to Bartlet): But I do like to see you try.

Bartlet: Well, I don't know, man. I think I'm gonna ask for my money back.

Mandy: What is is that you do here exactly?
Josh: It's never really been made clear to me.

CJ: How bad can it get?
Leo: Catestrophic.

Bartlet: Do you think it's important he sit at my table tonight?
Leo: He's the guest of honour, so it is customary.
Bartlet: Where are you sitting?
Leo: At your table, sir.
Bartlet: Where's Toby sitting?
Leo: With C.J and Josh and Sam.
Bartlet: Yeah, that's the fun table.

Abbey: You know, one of the things that happens when I stay away too long is that you forget you don't have the power to fix everything. You have a big brain and a good heart and an ego the size on Montana! You do, Jed! You don't have the power to fix everything... but I do like watching you try.
(Lights Flicker)
Bartlet: What the hell? If that's not a metaphor for powerlessness, I don't know what is.

CJ: So let me see if I have this: a hurricane has picked up speed and power and is heading for Georgia, management and labour are coming here to work out a settlement to avoid a crippling strike that'l begin at midnight tonight, and the government is planning a seige on 18-40 of its citizens all the while we hold a state dinner for the President of Indonesia.
Toby, Sam & Josh: (almost in unison) Yeah.
Sam: You got it.
CJ: Amazingly, you know what I'll get asked most often today?
Toby: What?
CJ: (To reporter) Sondra?
Sondra: I'm sorry, C.J...
CJ: Black suede and velvet with monolo Blahnik slides with a rhinestone and mother of pearl toe buckle.
Sondra: Thanks.
CJ: No problem.
