Toby has Mandy read from Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. However, the sentence she reads is no longer part of the Constitution. It has been changed by Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Constitutional issue they are discussing still exists, but Toby's point that the clause is discriminatory is no longer based in the law.
The episode suggests that Mr. Willis was appointed to his late wife's seat until a special election is called. There is no provision in the US Constitution that allows for an interim appointment to the House of Representatives as there is in the Senate.
The home of Susan B. Anthony is in Rochester, New York.
The sandwich Sam is eating while telling C.J. about the sentence noticeably changes from a bun to bread and back again.
Mrs. Landingham: Josh, aren't you a little old to be leering at college co-eds?
Josh: I'm a Fulbright scholar Mrs. Landingham. I don't leer. Also, there'll be plenty of grad students there.
Mrs. Landingham: Oh well. Good then.
Gladman: I thought we were here to talk about the census?
Josh: We are. The White House just wanted to take this opportunity to point out that you're criminals and despots.
Gladman: Thank you.
Josh: No problem.
Mandy: Two million dollars for a volcano monitor in Alaska to warn passing airplanes about ash?
Leo: By the way, the FAA doesn't know what that is!
Toby: 550,000 dollars for New York State to restore the home of Susan B. Anthony.
Josh: While we're at it, the tile in my shower could use re-grouting.
Josh: Well, you know what they say?
Donna: What do they say?
Josh: A billion dollars here, a billion dollars there. Sooner or later it starts to add up to real money.
Donna: That's a nifty saying Josh.
Josh: I didn't coin it or anything.
Cathy: Bonnie, would you get Toby a copy of the Constitution?
Bonnie: Is it still in print?
Toby: Oh for crying out loud! Try Amazon.com. If they don't have it then just bust into the glass display case at the National Archives!
Toby: Do you call or raise, sir?
Bartlet: There are three words in the English language and three words only that begin with the letters dw.
Josh: This is a pretty good illustration of why we get nothing done.
In response to Josh's earlier speach to Donna about why the government does not issue refund checks for each person's portion of the budget surpluss.
Josh: Donna? How much were the sandwiches?
Donna: $12.95
Josh: I gave you a twenty.
Donna: Yes, as it turns out, actually, you gave me more money than I needed to buy what you asked for. However, knowing you, as I do, I'm afraid I can't trust you to spend the change wisely. I've decided to invest it for you.
Josh: That was nice. That was a little parable.
Donna:I want my money back.
Josh: The president's daughter, the chief of staff's daughter, a Georgetown bar, and Sam. What could possibly go wrong?
Toby: I met an unusual man. He didn't walk in with a political agenda. He didn't walk in with his mind made up. He genuinely wanted to do what he thought was best. He didn't mind saying the words 'I don't know.'
Frat Boy #3: You know, I ain't done with you, Sammy.
Charlie: My name is Charlie Young, jackass, and if that bulge in your pocket's an eight-ball of blow, you're spending spring break in a federal prison.
Toby: What's to stop us from saying we don't need elections? We'll just use polling data -- 1,150 people with a sampling error of plus or minus three will decide who runs the country.
Joe: I thought about that.
Toby: And?
Joe: It's okay by me, as long as it's not the same people who decide what's on television.
Sam: You see how good it feels to know what you're talking about?
C.J.: And you see how I'm able to do it without being patronizing?
Sam: What happened to "You look good today."?
C.J.: I got over it.
Sam: Let's forget about the fact that you're coming a little late to the party, and embrace the idea that you showed up at all.
Awards:
2000 Banff Rockie Award for Continuing Series
Music: At the bar "Learn to Fly" from the Foo Fighters album There Is Nothing Left to Lose is playing in the background.
C.J. orders a grasshopper at the bar.
The recipe for a Vodka Grasshopper is:
1 part ~ green creme de menthe
1 part ~ white creme de cacao
1 part ~ vodka
Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.
The events of "Twenty Five" are foreshadowed in Jed's argument with Zoey about her security and the possibility of her getting kidnapped at a club.
Jed's trivia quiz questions:
1. Name the one fruit whose seeds are on the outside.
2. Name the fourteen punctuation marks in standard English grammar.
3. Name the only three words in the English language that begin with the letters "dw".
Answers:
1. The strawberry.
2. Period, comma, colon, semi-colon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parentheses, braces and ellipses.
3. Dwarf, dwell and dwindle. (Apparently the President doesn't know any dweebs.)
Charlie: My name is Charlie Young, jackass. And if that bulge in your pocket's an 8-ball of blow, you'll be spending Spring Break in a Federal Prison.
An "8-ball of blow" is slang for an eighth of an ounce of cocaine (or about 3.5 grams). Crack cocaine was the first drug for which the first offense of simple possession can trigger a federal mandatory minimum sentence (5 years for 5 grams).
Willis: I think the problems that we're going to face in the new century are far beyond the Wisdom of Solomon, let alone me.
In the Bible the wisdom of Solomon was known throughout the ancient world. Solomon was a king known for his fair and sensible problem-solving abilities.
