Justice Crouch (to Bartlet): You ran great guns in the campaign. It was an insurgency, boy, a sight to see. And then you drove to the middle of the road the moment after you took the oath. Just the middle of the road. Nothing but a long line painted yellow. edit »
Bartlet (to Mendoza): You were not the first choice. But you are the last one, and the right one. edit »
Sam (about the most important issue of the coming decade): 20s & 30s it was the role of government. 50s & 60s it was civil rights. The next 20 years it will be about privacy. The Internet. Cell phones. Health records. And who's gay and who's not. Besides, in a country born on the will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this? edit »
Danny Concannon: It's not my job to help you out. In fact I'd get fired from my job for helping you out. edit »
Toby: This isn't the time, Josh. We're taking water over the side. ...We've been here for a year, and all we've gotten is a year older. ...I'm tired of being field captain for the gang that couldn't shoot straight. We're getting this done. edit »
