• Will Bailey : Several members of my family worked for NATO.

  Sam Seaborn : You're not by any chance Thomas Bailey's grandson.

  Will Bailey : I'm his son. I'm the youngest one.

  Sam Seaborn : Wow. That had to be an interesting career day. "Hello, I'm Will's father, and I'm Supreme Commander NATO Allied Forces." Bet not a lot of people took your lunch money.

  Will Bailey : No.

• Will Bailey : I thought he was going to have to fall all over himself trying to be genial.

  Sam Seaborn : So did we, but then we were convinced by polling that he was going to be seen as arrogant no matter what performance he gave in the debate, and then that morning at 3:10 my phone rings and it's Toby Ziegler. And he says 'Don't you get it? It's a gift that they're irreversibly convinced that he's arrogant, because now he can be.' If your guy is seen that way you might as well knock some bodies down with it.
