- Josh: You’re not talking to me about an agriculture poll.
Joey: No kidding.
Josh: You guessed that?
Joey: You think we’re eating more beets?
Josh: Well, we are, but... that’s not important. edit » - Toby: We got good reviews on the commencement speech.
Sam: Yeah.
Toby: From Maynard Wachtel, of all places.
Sam: You got a second?
Toby: He calls you and me the Batman and Robin of speech-writing.
Sam: Well, I don’t think he does...
Toby: He doesn’t, but he should, ‘cause that’s what we are.
Sam: Okay.
Toby: We’re Batman and Robin!
Sam: Which one’s which?
Toby: Look at me, Sam. Am I Robin?
Sam: I’m not Robin.
Toby: Yes, you are.
Sam: Okay, well, let’s move off this.
Toby: You bet, little friend.
Sam: Listen, we’re really not Batman and Robin.
Toby: No, we’ll keep those identities secret. I’m Bruce Wayne, and you’re my ward...
Sam: Toby...
Toby: ...Dick something. edit » - Donna: [terrified] A satellite is gonna crush into the Earth?
Ed and Larry: Yes!
Donna: Why are you laughing?
Ed: We thought it was funny. [The two of them turn to leave.]
Donna: I’m an assistant. What am I supposed to do with this information?
Larry: The fax was for C.J., just give it to her when you see her.
Woman: Donna, they say it’s not going to rain this afternoon.
Donna: Well, that’s a relief.
edit » - Josh: Dale?
Joey Lucas: (spoken) Yes.
Josh: He's pretty good looking for an interpreter.
Joey: (spoken) He's good looking for anybody. edit » - Josh: Yeah. (pause) I just brought it up because this Assistant A.G., Martin Connelly, when he left my office this morning he turned and said, "They perpetrated a fraud against the public." And the look on his face when he said it... They want to get these people.
Leo: We're not big tobacco. edit » - C.J.: You guys are like Butch and Sundance peering over the edge of a cliff to the boulder filled rapids 300 feet below thinking you better not jump 'cause there's a chance you might drown. The President has this disease and has been lying about it and you're concerned that the polling might make us look bad? It's the fall that's going to kill you. edit »
- Oliver Babish: What made you go into the room?
C.J. : The sound of a Stueben glass pitcher crashing to the floor.
Babish: What did you think had happened?
C.J.: I didn’t know.
Babish: Well, what did you think?
C.J.(sarcastically): Well, at first glance, I thought he might have a virus contracted from a rare African tsetse fly, possibly tropical sprue. I’m not an expert, but I did meet a man once in India.
Babish: Yeah.
C.J.: It could be anything with these Presidents. James Polk had diverticulitis.
Babish: Yeah.
C.J.: Couldn’t digest nuts. I’ll tell you what else. One in forty American men wear women’s clothing, and we’ve had well over forty Presidents.
Babish: Yeah.
C.J.: I’m just sayin’, one of these guys was dancing around the Oval Office in a prom dress. Now let’s get to the bottom of that.
Babish: C.J.?
C.J.: Yeah?
Babish: In my entire life I’ve never found anything charming.
C.J. (pauses): Really? edit »
