3.06 Gone Quiet POTUS: You’re not mocking me? CHARLIE: No, sir. POTUS: That thing before wasn’t a crack about my height? CHARLIE: No. Yes it was. CJ: What’s this song about? CAROL: This is “I’m Too Sexy.” CJ: Yeah, for his shirt he’s too sexy. CAROL: Other things, too. CJ: He lists them. CAROL: Yeah, well, I think he’s feeling sexy. CJ: Too sexy. CAROL: I think it’s the kind of thing where someone says “Oh, this is just TOO good.” CJ: Hyperbole CAROL: Yeah. CJ: So it’s not a problem, it’s not a song about someone having a problem. CAROL: No. He’s feeling good, that’s why he’s singing. POTUS: Can I make something up hypothetically, like “What if a friend of mine-?” POTUS: Hey, Bruno, can you devise a campaign strategy that involves beating the crap outta Leo? BRUNO: Why not? CONNIE: Yeah. SAM: Work out an ad for 60 bucks and a waffle and we’ll talk. CJ: Toby. I’m too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy for my skirt. Too sexy for the other thing. TOBY: CJ, what in God’s name is- CJ: He got the question, last night, local news, Cleveland, Ohio. Oh me-oh, oh my-oh, oh Cleveland, Ohio! OLIVER: Y’know why I call you Dr. Bartlet? ABBY: Because I have a medical license? OLIVER: Because you have a medical license and when I look at you I think of health. Goodness. What did you do to your ankle, Dr. Bartlet. ABBY: I broke it. Otherwise I’d be ramming it up your- OLIVER: Nature is to be protected from. Nature, like a woman, will seduce you with its sights and its scents and its touch. And then it breaks your ankle. Also like a woman. ABBY: What kind of dates are you going on? OLIVER: I hear you. OLIVER: I want you to make a national address urging women not to go hiking or, at least, not to make me go with them. TAWNY: Have you heard of Andrew Hawken? SAM: No. TAWNY: We funded his performance piece which involved him burning all his belongings outside a Starbucks in Haight-Ashbury. SAM: I’ve done that a couple of times. Didn’t know there was funding available. SAM: Excuse me, but there’s such a thing as… BRUNO: What? SAM: There’s such a thing as-…Okay, we’re gonna sit quietly for a moment…Leadership by example! There’s such a thing as leadership by example! BRUNO: Yeah, it comes right before getting your ass kicked in an election. TOBY: And I don’t get where you get the idea that people shouldn’t have to fund things they don’t like. A lot of ‘em don’t like tanks. Even more of ‘em don’t like Congress. CONNIE: I’m savant-like. JOSH: We’re putting together an answer for when you get the question. POTUS: Why do I want to be President? JOSH: Yeah. POTUS: I don’t. JOSH: Okay. Well, we’ll put that in the hopper and let ya know. DONNA: That’s why he wants to be President? JOSH: She’s got a point. CJ: Sometimes you get your face on a coin. BRUNO: Why am I nervous? SAM: It’s not amoral. |
