Leo: We're not going to stop, soften, detour, postpone, circumvent, obfuscate or trade a single one of our goals to allow for whatever extracurricular nonsense is coming our way in the next days, weeks and months.
Toby: When did we decide this?
Leo: Just now.

Leo: We've been here seven trips around the sun. Done some things we're proud of, things we're less pleased about... It may be time for us to take our own temperature; an internal inventory... What's done. What's undone. What's done that we'd like to undo or do over.

Leo: We've got to meet with Albie.
Bartlet He's going to scold me. He's been at the State Department since Truman. He thinks I'm a kid and that he outranks me.
Leo: You'll be fine.
Bartlet: I've got to tell him I lost a submarine. Can I make something up like say 'what if a friend of mine hypothetically...'

Leo: What are you doing?
Josh: Just trying to get a little pizza in an uncivilized world.
Leo: It's not easy being you, is it?

Leo: What do you want from me?
Josh: Thirty million dollars.
Leo: No.

Leo: What have you got?
C.J.: Nothing. And you know why?
Leo: Rollins likes us.
C.J.: I don't know if he likes us, but he doesn't hate us.
Leo: Well, that's just because he doesn't know us.
C.J.: Leo, we need to be investigated by someone who wants to kill us just to watch us die. We need someone perceived by the American people to be irresponsible, untrustworthy, partisan, ambitious, and thirsty for the limelight. Am I crazy, or is this not a job for the U.S. House of Representatives?

Leo: What? Prime Minister Graty thinks you are an intellectual snob. A Yankee Doodle windbag. Likely as not you would have made things worse.
Bartlet: If an American dies and there is even the slightest suspicion of international intrigue, she's supposed to wake me.
Leo: Since when? If I had used that rule, you'd be dead by now of sleep deprivation.

Leo: When you order a guy to go fight, the guy can't think it's because you're sleeping with his wife.
Bartlet: You're right.
Leo: That's...That's an unusual phrase for you sir, did you just learn it?
Bartlet: Well you didn't let me finish.
Leo: I had a hunch.

Leo: You have to quit, Congressman. We have to unite behind a candidate.... We need these last days to put our message before the American people.
Santos: You think either of them can beat Vinick in the Fall?
Leo: Who knows? But you step aside for the good of the party; people won't forget. The President and I won't let them.
Santos: Will I have a chance to address the convention again?
Leo: Of course.

Leo: You just spent six billion dollars on health care. How do you feel?
Josh: I'd feel better if it meant just once I could go to a doctor without filling out something on a clipboard.

Leo: You know, on May 13th, the day before Israeli Independence Day, the TV stations in Israel screen the names of every soldier who's fallen for the country. A name flashes on the screen for a second or two, then the next name appears, you go to bed, you get up, the names are still flashing. That's how they observe Memorial Day.

Leo: You want to see me orchestrate this right now? You want to see me mobilize these people? These people who would walk into fire if you told them to. These people who showed up to lead. These people who showed up to fight. [points at Charlie] That guy gets death threats because he's black and he dates your daughter! He was warned: “Do not show up to this place. Your life will be in danger.” He said, “To hell with that, I'm going anyway.” You said, “No.” Prudent or not prudent, this 21 year old for 600 dollars a week says, “I'm going where I want to, because a man stands up!”

Lloyd Russell: [referring to his Presidential run, speaking to Mandy, who just drove her car onto a curb] It wasn't going to happen.
Mandy: You know what the worst part about this is?
Lloyd Russell: Well, I think you dinged up your suspension pretty good.
Mandy: No, Lloyd, it's the party they're having, right now, in the West Wing, at my expense.
Lloyd Russell: They're not having a party in the West Wing.
Mandy: I've worked with these people for two and a half years. They like to win and they like to gloat.
Lloyd Russell: I'm sure you're wrong.
Mandy: I'm sure I'm not.
Lloyd Russell: There are very serious people working at the White House. A blow is struck for party unity today, there's no cause to gloat.
[scene cut]
Josh: Victory is mine, victory is mine. Great day in the morning, people, victory is mine.
Donna: Morning Josh.
Josh: I drink from the keg of glory, Donna. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.
Donna: It's going to be an unbearable day.

Lord John Marbury: Abigail! May I grasp your breasts?
Bartlet: I'm standing right here!
Abbey: You may kiss my cheek.

Lord John Marbury: Abigail.
Bartlet: Now it's a party.
Abbey: Oh. Yes, your lordship.
Lord John Marbury: Your breasts are magnificent.
Abbey: Oh. Um... thank you, John.
Lord John Marbury: May I inquire, Mr. President � the first thing that attracted you to Abigail - was it her magnificent breasts?
Abbey: It was.
Bartlet: You know John, there are places in the world where it might be considered rude to talk about the physical attributes of another man's wife.
Lord John Marbury: My god. Really?
Bartlet: Yeah.
