Toby: I’ve been to 441 baseball games at Yankee Stadium, there’s not a single person there who’s ordinary. Sam: I know. Toby: You makin’ fun of the Yankees?”
08 - 01×05 – The Crackpots and These Women. “Leo: Yes. It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson that I, from time to time, ask senior staff to have face-to-face meetings with those people representing organizations who have a difficult time getting our attention. I know the more jaded among you, see this as something rather beneath you. But I assure you that listening to the voices of passionate Americans is beneath no one, and surely not the peoples’ servants. Josh: [walks in with C.J.] Sorry, we’re late. Is it “Total Crackpot Day” again?”

We’re going to lose some of these battles, and we may lose the White House, but we’re not going to be threatened by issues. We’re going to bring ‘em front and center. We’re going to raise the level of public debate in this country and let that be our legacy.”
04 – 01×15 – Celestial Navigation. “Josh: I was crystal clear! They said, “Do you think that, if the President has a plan to fight inflation, it’s right that he keep it a secret?” I said, of course not! Bartlet: Are you telling me that not only did you invent a secret plan to fight inflation, but now you don’t support it?”
03 – 02×10 – Noel. “He thinks I may have an eating disorder. And a fear of rectangles – that’s not unusual, is it?”
02 – 03×09 – Bartlet for America. “Leo: I’m an alcoholic. I don’t have one drink. [pauses] I don’t understand people who have one drink. I don’t understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don’t understand people who say they’ve had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer? [pauses, sighs] My brain works differently.”
01 – 02×22 – Two Cathedrals. “Gratias tibi ago, domine. Yes, I lied. It was a sin. I’ve committed many sins. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug? 3.8 million new jobs, that wasn’t good? Bailed out Mexico, increased foreign trade, 30 million new acres of land for conservation, put Mendoza on the bench, we’re not fighting a war, I’ve raised three children… that’s not enough to buy me out of the doghouse? I give thanks to you, O Lord. Am I to believe those were the acts of a loving God? A just God? A wise God? To hell with your punishments! I was your servant on Earth – I spread Your word and did Your work. To hell with your punishments. To hell with you.”
