Quotes 

• Toby Ziegler : Listen, when you get home tonight you're going to be confronted by the instinct to drink alone. Trust that instinct. Manage the pain. Don't try to be a hero.

• Claypool : How pregnant is your ex-wife?

  Toby Ziegler : As I understand pregnancy, it's a binary state. You either are or you aren't.

• Josh Lyman : I just need to tell you this. Come here. Sorry, come here.

  Toby Ziegler : Josh...

  Josh Lyman : Come here. All right, it was desperation. It wasn't out of a desire to do evil. He had a young family and he barely spoke the language. He went to jail. He went to jail and you went to school, and it was all a half century ago. Look what he did in two generations. What room did you just walk out of?

  Toby Ziegler : I appreciate that that's what you think. Do I get to think what I think?

  Josh Lyman : No, you don't, cause you don't know what I know.

  Toby Ziegler : What?

  Josh Lyman : That I would give anything to have a living father who was a felon, or a sister with a past... That's it.

• Toby Ziegler : I'm told that on my sunniest days I'm not that fun to be around. I wonder what's gonna happen when you make my children a part of your life.
