- Leo McGarry: Now, please, don't leap into it. Don't...
- [Bartlett answers the phone]
- President Josiah Bartlet: There are BIG SIGNS. You CAN'T park there. They *should* get towed. I hope they get towed to Queens, and the Triboro is closed, and there's a big craft show at Shea, a flea market or a tractor show.
- [Bartlett hangs up]
- Charlie Young: Well, that was probably his secretary.
- President Josiah Bartlet: Damn it.
- Charlie Young: You can bet she'll be parking in a garage though.
- 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.
- Janice Trumbull: Ok, well you got the cards... But Star Trek and the entire Starfleet series is about honor and loyalty and civic duty and the fact that you don't think that those are characteristics that should be displayed inside the White House is sad. But I wouldn't expect you to understand those kinds of things... Anything else?
- Leo McGarry: I've got to keep the knucklehead stuff off his desk, and this is worse. This is actually hot-button knucklehead...
- C.J. Cregg: By the way, Danny Concannon won a Pulitzer Prize from the fourth row.
- Mitch: Danny's more talented than I am.
- C.J. Cregg: See you, Mitch.
- Toby Ziegler: [to Leo] You're like the guys who say, "Are you telling me you could only find one African-American speech writer good enough to work at the White House?" I'm amazed I found that many. "Good enough to work at the White House" is a pretty small population to begin with. And guys who can write entire sections of a State of the Union? I'd be as surprised if there were as many as nine of us. Sam was one of them.
- 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
- Toby Ziegler: Listen, when you get home tonight you're gonna be confronted by the instinct to drink alone. Trust that instinct. Manage the pain. Don't try to be a hero.
