Bradley Whitford: Josh Lyman

Quotes 

• Josh Lyman : [about Navy pilot Vicky Hilton]  I guess also, the thing is, that she isn't just any pilot. She's like Jackie Robinson - she's busted a lot of barriers. She's the first woman at Miramar, first woman to fly the F-14 Tomcat - she teaches on an F-14. I guess, at this point I don't have to give you her resume.

  Admiral Percy Fitzwallace : No, but could you tell me more about Jackie Robinson and breaking barriers?

• Donna Moss : You have to go back.

  Josh Lyman : Why?

  Donna Moss : 'Cause he's gonna think I'm flaky.

  Josh Lyman : Maybe, but he's not gonna care.

  Donna Moss : Why not?

  Josh Lyman : Guys'll go out with anybody.

• Josh Lyman : [about Donna]  Anyway, if you wanted to ask her out, she'd probably say yes.

  Lt. Cmdr. Jack Reese : Hey Josh, uh, I'm new here and I want to do well and I don't want to get in between anything.

  Josh Lyman : In between anything?

  Lt. Cmdr. Jack Reese : [sighs]  I have an aide who in my life I haven't talked about as much as you've talked about Donna in our entire relationship, yours and mine, which is a cumulative total of 7 minutes old.

  Josh Lyman : No, no, no.

  Lt. Cmdr. Jack Reese : You sure?

  Josh Lyman : Sure; tell me your aide's name and I'll ask her out. We'll double.

  Lt. Cmdr. Jack Reese : Chief Petty Officer Harold Wendell.

  Josh Lyman : Well, I got the fuzzy end of *that* lollipop.

  Lt. Cmdr. Jack Reese : I don't know Wendell's not "cute" cute, but he's so funny
