Awards:
2000 Banff Rockie Award for Continuing Series (edit) Music: At the bar "Learn to Fly" from the Foo Fighters album There Is Nothing Left to Lose is playing in the background. (edit) 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. (edit) 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. (edit) 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.) (edit)

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.
(edit) 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. (edit) Josh: The president's daughter, the chief of staff's daughter, a Georgetown bar, and Sam. What could possibly go wrong? (edit) 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.' (edit) 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. (edit)

The home of Susan B. Anthony is in Rochester, New York. (edit) The sandwich Sam is eating while telling C.J. about the sentence noticeably changes from a bun to bread and back again. (edit) At the end of the episode, when Toby is watching Mr. Willis's first and only roll call vote, the Clerk of the House is calling the members' names alphabetically. Mr. Willis's name is followed by Mr. Zantowski, yet, as we find out in subsequent episodes, there certainly should have been a "Ms. Wyatt of Maryland". (edit)

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). (edit) 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. (edit)
