1.18 SIX MEETINGS BEFORE LUNCH
JOSH: Panda's that thing I think it is, right? Little brown thing, lives in Australia, eats the bark off the Koala Tree?
DONNA: That's a Koala bear, I believe you're describing.
JOSH: Panda's that other one?
DONNA: How can you not know the difference between a panda and a koala bear?
JOSH: Y'know, for someone who hasn't quite mastered the alphabet...

SAM: It's my day of jubilee!
MALLORY: I despise you and everything you stand for.
SAM: Okay, my day was a little better a few seconds ago, but I'm okay.

MALLORY: Don't play dumb with me, Sam.
SAM: No, honestly, Mallory, I AM dumb, most of the time I'm playing smart.

MALLORY: Dad, I'm sorry, but Sam's asked me to have lunch with him and I need your permission.
LEO: What do you need my permission to have lunch for?
MALLORY: Sam?
SAM: She says she always asks her father's permission before she has lunch with fascists.
LEO: Oh. Yeah, okay.

SAM: Mallory, education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic monumental changes. Schools should be palaces. The competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be making six-figure salaries. School should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge to its citizens, just like national defense. That’s my position. I just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

C.J.: I'm telling you now, Mr. President, this isn't about your daughter! It's about the first daughter and that's my job and you're not going down there! You, me, Charlie and Zoey are the only four people who know she was lying and there's no reason it doesn't need to stay that way. It's a non-story. You go down there and it's a big story!
