C.J.: Relaxing makes me nervous. It feels like I'm missing something. (edit)
C.J.: I think Doug Westin is having an affair with his nanny.
Will: Gee, I don't want to know that! Why did you tell me that?
C.J.: Because you deal with the press, and I don't want you to get blind-sided.
Will: Exactly. I work with the press. I do my best work when I'm the least informed person in the room. You taught me that. (edit)
Danny: I think the president’s son in law may be bangin’ the nanny.
C.J.: Is that a euphemism?
Danny: No. Well I bangin’ is, I guess.
(edit)
(CJ and Will collide in her office doorway)

C.J.: Did you take an awkward pill?

Will: What? I'm always like this. (edit)
