Quotes from Manchester, Part 2
C.J.: There's a snake over here.
Sam: What kind?
C.J.: I don't know and I don't want to ask him. Can somebody shoot it, please?
Doug: America wants a happy warrior to lead the country, not Dr. Kevorkian.
Josh: It's true, sir, America does not want Dr. Kevorkian to lead the country. We've got polling data on that.
Bruno: It might not be such a bad idea for me to lock you all in here and set the place on fire. We have forty-eight hours before we kick off this campaign. We will work hard, we will work well, and we will work together... or so help me mother of God I will stick a pitchfork so far up your asses you will quite simply be dead.
Doug: Barlet rules America, America rocks therefore Bartlet rocks.
Sam: America rocks.
Toby: Bartlet rocks?
Doug: Yes.
Josh: He really... doesn't... that much.
Sam: Good news about Haiti.
Margaret: I say we should have gone in there with four tank divisions and turned the place into a casino.
Sam: Manifest destiny.
Margaret: Bet your ass.
Bruno: You people can find more ways to blow it...
Leo: We might be running out.
Abbey: Why won't you talk to me?
Bartlet: Why aren't you with me?
Abbey: How do you know I'm not?
Bartlet: You're not.
Abbey: You're pissed at me?
Sam: He needs to apologize.
Toby: Don't worry about it.
Sam: He lied.
Toby: He didn't lie. It's what your people call a sin of omission.
Sam: I'm a Catholic. It's what everybody calls a sin of omission.
Doug: You guys are so pissed at him you don't even know it. You're more pissed at him than the press is. You're more pissed at him than the party is. You're so pissed at him you're pissed at me. 'Cause if he hadn't lied then you could have run the campaign you always wanted to run instead of a bunch of people coming in here and teaching you how not to bother anybody. I never drank the Kool Aid, Toby. I came to win, and you're so pissed at him you can't even admit that for the last two weeks you've gone to sleep at night thanking God that I do.
Bartlet: Did you know that hardly any of the guys who landed on the moon are married to the same people they were married to before they went there?
Abbey: What?
Bartlet: I'm just saying, it could be worse, I could have been an astronaut.
Abbey: You could not have been an astronaut.
Bartlet: I'd have been a great astronaut.
Abbey: You're afraid of heights, speed, fire, and small places.
Bartlet: I'd have overcome it to go to the moon.
Abbey: I know you would have.
Abbey: I haven't really made up my mind yet, but at the moment I'm leaning towards voting for you.
Bartlet: It occurs to me I never said I'm sorry. I am. For the lawyers, for the press, for the mess, for the fear...
