Josh: I've got about nine people on a conference call at several points of longitude.

CJ: No, I don't know what the hell's going on there.
Reporter: CJ, the President didn't denounce it?
CJ: Not unless he did it in the shower. But he hasn't denounced it to me and he certainly hasn't to the public.

CJ: I'm going to crush him. . . This guy's trying to get a little free media by screwing with us. . . I'm the enforcer, Sam. I'm going to crush him. I'm going to make him cry and then I'm going to tell his momma about it.

Toby: The President's a friend of labor, a friend of seniors, a friend of small animals. I assume from your total silence and blank faces that you're all with me.

Leo: I don't think you said anything wrong. Nobody with a brain thinks you did anything wrong. And I'd like to do the right thing all the time, but I can't. I can't let us get bogged down in this crap. Government will stop. This is what we will do for two months and there are more important things than that. I'll take the heat from the First Lady but I want your resignation by 8 o'clock tonight.

Josh: First things first, what time is it in Tokyo?

Josh: So it's 14 hours ahead?
Toby: Yes.
Josh: We're sure it's ahead and not behind?
CJ: Guys, the clock's on the wall.

Bartlet: She's frightened of me?
Millie: She ain't the only one.
