Josh: Numbers don't lie.
Joey (Kenny): They lie all the time. They lie when 72% of Americans say they're tired of a sex scandal while all the while newspaper circulation goes through the roof for anyone featuring the story. If you polled 100 Donnas and asked them if they think we should go out, you'd get a high positive response, but the poll wouldn't tell you it's because she likes you, she knows it's beginning to show and she needs to cover herself in misdirection.
(edit) Josh: Last night at the phone bank Donna kept telling me I should ask Joey Lucas out.
Sam: You should.
Josh: Fine, but putting that aside, what do you think of Donna being the one pushing it?
Sam: I don't think anything.
Josh: You don't think she'd be jealous?
Sam: She goes out with guys, are you jealous?
Josh: No.
Sam: See?
Josh: I don't get jealous...
Sam: So…
Josh: I don't like it. I usually do everything in my considerable powerful capabilities to sabotage it, which is why it's curious that Donna would do nothing to discourage, and in fact do everything to encourage a date with Joey Lucas, who is quite frankly a very attractive woman. (edit) Bartlet: Damn it! How the hell did it happen?
Leo: It was bad intelligence, sir.
Bartlet: YOU THINK?
Leo: Ferente left behind a radio and a soldier at the outpost. And they were deliberately sending us misinformation.
Bartlet: We never anticpated they somebody might try that? We weren't prepared for someone to try and outfox us with a stratagem so sophisticated it's an entire generation behind "Hey look, your shoelaces are untied!?" IS THAT HOW I JUST LOST NINE GUYS, TO A DAMN STREET GANG WITH A HAM RADIO!? (edit) Leo: How you doing, Ainsley?
Ainsley: I'm concerned about peeing on your carpet.
Leo: Ok. Well, now I am, too.
Sam: Tell her it's going to be fine.
Leo: Your skirt's on backwards. (edit)
