President Bartlett: Is there a cow in my schedule today?
CJ: It's called Heifer International. Don't worry about it.
President Bartlett: (to Charlie) I'm meeting with a cow. I shouldn't worry about it.
CJ: It's a photo-op with a cow, Sir. It's not a sit-down.
President Bartlett: I like your sass.
CJ: You've got a very nice sass yourself.
President Bartlett: What are you touring?
CJ: I could.

President Bartlet: Apparently I've arranged for an honor guard for somebody.
Toby: Yes sir. I'm sorry.
President Bartlet: No no. Just tell me, is there anything else I've arranged for? We're still in NATO, right?
Toby: Yes sir.
President Bartlet: What's going on?
Toby: A homeless man died last night, a Korean War veteran who was wearing a coat I gave to The Goodwill. It had my card in it.
President Bartlet: Toby, you're not responsible...
Toby: It took an hour and twenty minutes for the ambulance to get there. A lance corporal in the United States Marine Corps, Second of the Seventh. Probably got better treatment at P'yong-yang.
President Bartlet: Toby, if we start pulling strings like this, you don't think every homeless veteran will come out of the woodwork?
Toby: I can only hope, sir.

Galileo (2.9)
Bartlet: "Good morning! I’m speaking to you live from the West Wing of the White House. Today we have a very unique opportunity to take part live in an extremely historic event which -" Whoa, boy.
Sam: How you doing, Mr. President?
Bartlet: Who wrote this intro?
Scott Tate: I did, sir. I’m Scott Tate from NASA Public Affairs.
Bartlet: Scott, unique means “one of a kind.” Something can’t be very unique, nor can it be extremely historic.
CJ: While we’re at it, do we have to use the word “live” twice in the first two sentences like we just cracked the technology?
Tate: Look -
CJ: We’re also broadcasting in living color, right?
Bartlet: Sam?
Sam: Yeah.
Bartlet: He’s gonna make some changes.
Tate: You’re going to clear them with me?
Sam: I doubt it. Write this: “Good morning. Eleven months ago a 1200 pound spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Eighteen hours ago…” Is it eighteen hours ago? We’re on the air at noon eastern.
CJ: Yeah.
Sam: “Eighteen hours ago it landed on the planet Mars. You, me, and 60,000 of your fellow students across the country along with astroscientists and engineers from the Jet Propulsion Lab in Southern California, NASA in Houston, and right here at the White House, are going to be the first to see what it sees, and to chronicle the extraordinary voyage of an unmanned ship called Galileo V.”
Bartlet: He said it right.

POTUS: Never doubt that a group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world. You know why?
Will: It's the only thing that ever has.
Asst. Sec. Lilly: Are you rewriting the section?
Will: Yes sir
Asst. Sec. Lilly: Dramatically?
Will: Well I like to think I have a certain flair.

Josh: Why do you suppose this one is so hard to spin?
