| 2.06 THE LAME-DUCK CONGRESS |
| POTUS: It’s like running the country with Barnum, Bailey, and his sister Sue. POTUS: Would it be possible for only two of them to speak at once? POTUS: Charlie! Could I have a couple of asprin? Or a weapon to kill people with? JOSH: Because Republicans find the word “Urgonomic” to be silly. AINSLEY: I just wanna sit there and learn…from the Master. I want to learn from the Master. SAM: See, women think that kind of thing works, but it doesn’t. AINSLEY: It really does, Sam. AINSLEY: Did you already eat lunch? SAM: No. AINSLEY: I brought my lunch from home. SAM: Okay. AINSLEY: I already ate my lunch. SAM: Kay. AINSLEY: Are you gonna be eating your lunch? SAM: You can’t have my lunch. AINSELY: Okay. JOSH: He’s sitting in the car with a woman who I imagine is either a security attache or a hooker. SAM: Please tell me it’s not – JOSH: It’s no one you know, Sam. TOBY: Fellas. It’s pureed squash, if it’s not pureed then it’s just squash. CHARLIE: The girl’s not bad lookin’. LEO: Go to work. CHARLIE: Think she knows how to kill me? LEO: Yes. CHARLIE: Okay. JOSH: Oh, how I miss the Cold War. AINSLEY: And they’ll ratify this treaty without the reservations you just offered. Can I take this muffin? JOSH: That’s the most crazy-ass thing I’ve ever heard. LEO: Yeah, but it works. JOSH: If this is the way the world is run, I’m sticking to domestic policy. LEO: Yeah, ‘cause that has the ring of sanity to it. JOSH: You have enormous value to me, you have absolutely no value to Eastern Europe. DONNA: This is my chance to talk to a man who understands the plight of the worker. Or do you think since he’s a reformer he’ll understand the plight of economics? JOSH: Well, since he’s drunk and he doesn’t speak a lot of English, I don’t think he’ll understand much of anything. SAM: “Can I have this muffin?” “Can I have this MUFFIN?”! Lemme tell you that your closing remarks will be blunted if you ask for a muffin. CJ: Do you think I should give Danny access for a feature? SAM: Yes. CJ: You’re wrong. AINSLEY: You should. CJ: Why? AINSLEY: He’s cute. TOBY: When Pakistan gets nervous, the world gets nervous. Know why? ‘Cause we’re all gonna die. AINSLEY: Are you eating that donut? SAM: Take the donut. DANNY: Hey Charlie, hey CJ. CJ: Hey, Nimrod. POTUS: Vascily? Vascily Konanoff, why you’re the last person I expected to see where they told me to go! AINSLEY: Is this how you guys decide to go to war? SAM: I don’t know, I’m usually not in the room when they do that. SAM: Would someone get her a cupcake or something? |
