| JOSH: DONNA! DONNA: Don’t shout. JOSH: DONNA, C’MERE! DONNA: Josh, did you hear me say “don’t shout”? JOSH: No. DONNA: Y’know why? JOSH: ‘Cause you weren’t shouting. DONNA: That’s right. POTUS: “Leaf-peeping”? DONNA: Did you really know Jack Warner? POTUS: Yes, because I used to be a contractor in Hollywood and I’m 97 years old. TOBY: By the way. You are a beautiful woman, and no one around here has ever assumed you were either ambitious or stupid. CJ: Toby? Took two years. AINSLEY: So you lied to me just now. LEO: Well, I’m a politician, Ainsley, of course I lied to you just now. LIONEL: I will kill people today! I will kill people with this cricket bat which was given to me by her majesty Queen Elizabeth Windsor and then I will kill them with my bare hands! LIONEL: Mr. President, have you lost what little was left of your mind?! DONNA: Oh, dear God. POTUS: Well, obviously Lionel Tribbey is a brilliant lawyer who we cannot live without…Otherwise we would have little reason not to put him in prison. JOSH: And the weak shall be made mighty, Donna, not might IS right, but rather might FOR right. DONNA: This relates to leaf-peeping how? JOSH: You could throw out the Bill of Rights. SAM: Toby tried. JOSH: I was kidding. SAM: I know. ABBY: Just give him a message for me, would you? CHARLIE: Yes, ma’am. ABBY: Your blood pressure is 120/80. CHARLIE: How did you know that, ma’am? ABBY: I’m saying HIS blood pressure – CHARLIE: Is 120/80. ABBY: EKG shows a good sinus rhythm, no evidence of aschemic changes – CHARLIE: How are we spelling -? ABBY: Doesn’t matter. Your electrolytes and metabolic paneis are within normal limits, and prostate screens are fine. CHARLIE: Okay. ABBY: So we can have sex now. CHARLIE: Kay, that’s not me and you, right -? ABBY: Go. ABBY: Not here, Jed. POTUS: Okay, where? ABBY: How about our bedroom? POTUS: Abby, New Hampshire’s an hour and a half by plane, I can’t wait that long. ABBY: How about our bedroom in the residence? POTUS: Yes! We have a bedroom in the residence! What a smart idea! LEO: Says here this is the steam pipe trunk distribution venue. AINSLEY: I’m working in the steam pipe trunk distribution venue? LEO: NO, you’re working in your office. AINSLEY: Is it so hard to believe that, in this day and age, someone would set aside partisanship, roll up their sleeves, and ask “what can I do?” LIONEL: Yes. AINSLEY: Mr. Tribbey, I want to do well on this, my first assignment, any advice you could give would be, by me, appreciated. LIONEL: Not speaking in iambic pentameter would be a start. |
