Leo McGarry quotes from The West Wing

Annabeth

Try to get some sleep. The motorcade's going to pick you up at 7:00 am sharp at your hotel. Now, once you wrap it up with Russert you have a thirty-minute window to get to Face the Nation followed by a sit-down with the Post.

Leo

[as they wait for an elevator] Don't you ever get tired?

Annabeth

No.

Leo

And how is that?

Annabeth

I graduated cum laude with a degree in art history and if you'd told me I'd end up here... [they get into the elevator] ...let's just say I love my job.

Leo

What time is it?

Annabeth

[hands him his watch] Headed back to your hotel?

Leo

Yeah. It's been a day.

Annabeth

Hmm.

Leo

What are you up to?

Annabeth

Heading back to my apartment and a nice hot bath.

Leo

You feel like dinner?

Annabeth

I do, but--

Leo

We'll get a bite. It's early.

Annabeth

Thanks, but no. [pause] I just think it's better while we're spending so much time together that we try and keep our distance whenever possible.

Leo

[confused] Keep our distance?

Annabeth

Leo

What tension?

[about Josh] How'd it go?

Leo

Fine.

You taking over?

Leo

No.

Leo, I thought we...

Josh is going to make a lot of strategic decisions over the next few weeks. He's going to sweat them like life and death. And they'll be important, sure, which is why you and me are going to be in on every one of them. But they're meaningless compared to the decision the voters are going to have to make just by listening to you and trying to see if they can connect with the idea of Matt Santos as President. And Josh has nothing to do with that. Goodwin's right: Josh has taken you as far as he can. The rest is up to you.

Josh

Get some rest. I need you to look pretty for 20 million TV viewers.

Leo

If that's what we're counting on, the campaign is doomed.
