- Leo McGarry: We weren't spying on Russia. We were spying *for* Russia.
- President Josiah Bartlet: We were spying *for* him?
- Leo McGarry: Yes, sir.
- President Josiah Bartlet: Okay. This phone call you're going to set up with Chigorin - it's, like, for a White House bloopers reel or something?
- Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: The substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
- Toby Ziegler: Yeah, but I think what he's asking - Bump ten - I think what he's asking is why, on most other nights, do you think the world's going to hell in a hula hoop, but tonight...?
- Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: We dip twice and eat gefilte fish?
- Toby Ziegler: Suzy Creamcheese, do not attempt the Haggadah.
- Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: I know how to bless the soup, too.
- Joe Quincy: You know, I though I heard what sounded like gunshots when we were talking before, but I didn't.
- [pauses]
- Joe Quincy: Did you hear the shots?
- Josh Lyman: No, but I heard a brass quintet playing "The First Noel," so I just assumed somebody somewhere was locked and loaded.
- Joe Quincy: You know, not for nothing, but the people I talk to don't believe that story, and the people you'd like don't care.
- President Josiah Bartlet: [after the white house has been fired on] Will, how many fingers am I holding up?
- Will Bailey: Who's Will, sir?
- Toby Ziegler: And they're sending in a team of lawyers to look into it?
- Will Bailey: Yeah, but we're scrappy.
- Zoey Bartlet: It's been four years in the White House, another being the daughter of a candidate. Eight years as Governor. My grades get printed in the paper. My boyfriends are in the paper... I live and die with my parents' successes and failures.
- Toby Ziegler: And you got to ask yourself, if no one on the Internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?
