| SAM: Please, oh please, let them not be watching. JOSH: Toby! Come quick! Sam's gettin' his ass kicked by a girl! TOBY: Ginger, get the popcorn! SAM: She's making the chicken sound now. CHARLIE: You could just sing Puccini for me again, Mr. President, we'll call it even. AINSLEY: I imagine she's a very good secretary. LEO: She'll be glad to hear you think so, she's standing right outside the door. ::He bangs his fist on the door:: MARGARET: Ow! LEO: You have a very interesting conversational style, y'know that? AINSLEY: It's a nervous condition. LEO: I used to have a nervous condition. AINSLEY: And how did yours manifest itself? LEO: I drank a lot of scotch. AINSLEY: I get sick when I drink too much. LEO: I get drunk when I drink too much. AINSLEY: Mr. McGarry - LEO: Leo. AINSLEY: Yes, sir. AINSLEY: I... LEO: Here it comes. AINSLEY: Did you say offer me a job? LEO: Where are you going? AINSLEY: I'm not going anywhere. I'm standing up, which is how one voices opposition in a civilized world. LEO: Well you go, girl. LEO: CJ Cregg thinks you kill your pets. You don't do that, do you? AINSLEY: No, I do not kill my pets. I don't have any pets. I was thinking about getting a pet, but - that's besides the point. LEO: And even if you hadn't told me that -many, many times - I'd know it anyway 'cause I have your FBI file. AINSLEY: You have my FBI file? LEO: Yes. AINSLEY: I can't believe it, you have my FBI file! LEO: Ainsley - AINSLEY: I *have* an FBI file? LEO: ::Calling as he opens the door; Margaret! ::She's standing right there:: How ya doin'? AINSLEY: Say they're smug and superior. Say their approach to public policy makes you want to tear your hair out, say they like high taxes and taking your money, say they want to take your guns and open your borders, but don't call them worthless. At least don't do it in front of me. The people I have met have been extraordinarly qualified, their intentions are good, their commitment is true, they are righteous, and they are patriots. And I'm their lawyer. |
