Quotes from Bartlet for America
Jordan: You shouldn't be nervous.
Leo: I swear to God, Jordan, the last thing I am right now is nervous.
Bartlet: I'm not doing anything tomorrow night.
Leo: What's tomorrow night?
Bartlet: It's Christmas Eve.
Leo: I forgot. And you don't work then, right?
Bartlet: Yeah, actually, nobody does.
Mrs. Landingham: Governor, does it frustrate you to constantly aim for humor and yet miss so dramatically?
Mike: Listen, churches are burning down, otherwise I'd be hitting on you.
Donna: I appreciate that.
Mike: Sure.
Donna: Maybe when it's a better time.
Governor of TN: It's a clear violation of state's rights and you would have said the same thing when you were governor of New Hampshire.

Governor of TN: You got a pretty big black population in New Hampshire, do you?
Abbey: Sam Seaborn's very funny.

Mike: In thirteen years with the bureau I've discovered that there's no amount of money, man-power or knowledge that can equal the person you're looking for being stupid.
Bartlet: God, well, some of the stupidest criminals in the world are working right here in America. I've always been very proud of that.
Leo: The President was at the debate site walking the stage. A podium is a holy place for him, he makes it his own like it's an extension of his body. You ever see a pitcher work the mound so the dirt does exactly what his feet want it to do? That's the President. He sees it as a genuine opportunity to change minds. Also as his best way best way of contirubting to the team. He likes teams. I love him so much.
Jordan: You had a drink.
Leo: I'm an alcoholic, I don't have one drink. 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. My brain works differently.
Jordan: You were drunk in front of Gibson?
Leo: I don't get drunk in front of people. I get drunk alone.
Cliff: If you proceed with this line of questioning, I will resign this committee and wait in the tall grass for you, Congressman, because you are killing the Party.
