Josh: There is a Citizen Stamp Advisory Committee?
Leo: Yes.
Josh: Made up of members of the 'there but for the grace of God go I' club.
Leo: You want to mock people or let me talk to Toby?
Josh: I want to mock people.

CJ: Let me say first that you were right and I was wrong.
Toby: And the oddsmakers take a beating.

Donna: You know what I'm saying.
Josh: Hardly ever.

Toby: Then it entered a communications blackout period and hasn't been heard from since. I know how it feels.

CJ: I have to go to the Kennedy Center and be with people who don't like me.
Toby: You can do that right here.

Margaret: I left her alone 'cause I think I was freaking her out.
Leo: It wouldn't surprise me. (Enters office) Madam Ambassador.
Russian Ambassador: Leo.
Leo: Thank you for coming.
Ambassador: You look handsome, Leo.
Leo: Thank you, you look very nice yourself.
Ambassador: You get more handsome every year. And you're having your suits hand made now.
Leo: Nadia, are you hitting on me?
Ambassador: I was sorry to hear about your divorce.
Leo: You have a fire in a missile silo.
Ambassador: I'm not in a position to comment on matters of national security.
Leo: Okay, can you tell me how an oil refinery explosion would affect national security.
CJ: I'm not very good at confrontation.
Toby: You have no problem with me. . .

CJ: Promoting from within is pretty big in my family.
Tad Whitney (Interviewee turned down by CJ): . . . I'm surprised cause I'm pretty qualified. In fact a lot of people at state thought it was a lock.
CJ: You're very qualified.
Tad: . . . .It wasn't 'cause I stopped seeing you.
CJ: . . No, of course, it didn't have anything to do with. . . . That was six weeks, five years ago.
Tad: Cause I thought you might want an explanation why I did. . . .
CJ: I don't need an explanation.
Tad: Believe me, it wasn't because you were bad in bed or anything like that.
CJ: No, I didn't think it was, Tad. . . .
Tad: You're good in bed.
CJ: I'm great in bed.
CJ: We have at our disposal a captive audience of school children. Some of them don't go to the blackboard or raise their hand cause they think the're going to be wrong. I think you should say to these kids, 'You think you get it wrong sometimes, you should come down here and see how the big boys do it'. . . .Some of them will laugh and most of them won't care but for some they might honestly see that it's about going to the blackboard and raising your hand.
Bartlet: (as if talking to stars) Talk to us.

Bartlet: First time I heard Galileo Five, the way the imagination immediately, it reminded me of the way, the folks in my generation felt when we heard 'Yellow Submarine'.
CJ: Okay.
Bartlet: We really did all want to live in a yellow submarine.
CJ: I can't believe they gave you people drivers licenses.

CJ: Okay, so you know what? So it took me two hours and twenty minutes longer to figure it out than it took you. It doesn't make you smarter than I am.
Toby: Of course not.
CJ: Thank you.
Toby: My S.A.T scores on the other hand...

Bartlet: Earth's giving it instructions?
Sam: It's not responding.
Bartlet: Like my kids.
