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.
