(edit)

Leo: That guy gets death threats because he's black and he dates your daughter. He was warned: "Do not show up. Your life will be in danger." He said: "To hell with that, I'm going anyway." You said: "No." Prudent or not, this 21 year old at $600 a week said: "I'm going where I want to, cause a man stands up." (edit) Fitzwallace: I also think the military shouldn't be an instrument for social change... Problem is, that's what they were saying to me fifty years ago. Blacks shouldn't serve with whites, it would disrupt the unit... You know what? It did disrupt the unit. You know what else? The unit got over it. (edit) Mrs. Landingham: You don't get enough roughage.
Bartlet: I know I'd like to beat you senseless with a head of cabbage. I know that for damn sure.
Mrs. Landingham: Once again, you display an immaturity about vegetables that I think is not at all presidential. (edit)
