[to Margaret] You're an odd woman and I've never quite understood you. But you are extremely capable and you run this office like a Swiss watch. And you're tall, which is reassuring. Leo may need you and if he does, that's okay. But if he's willing to part with you, I hope you'll stay.
“Liftoff” · Season 6
In this episode: C.J. Cregg (3), Josiah Bartlet (2), Toby Ziegler (1), Will Bailey (1), Debbie (1)
[After Toby and Josh have both "resigned" after CJ's promotion]
I'll make this quick. I don't know if I'm comfortable working this closely with a woman. Maybe it's time for me to call it a day, give the VP a chance to steer the ship.
[CJ looks confused; after a moment, Toby starts giggling, which sets everyone off, and CJ realizes the prank]
[to Toby] You're weak. You have a weak will. You should have held it. See if she pulled out the Continuity of Government plan.
He cracked up at the mere suggestion of the VP...
[Still giggling uncontrollably] I had a whole thing on spending time with my kids, I went up.
You are bad, bad men.
In the service of a vengeful god.
On behalf of the Vice President and myself and every man who's ever had a Wonder Woman fantasy, it's a bright day.
Get out.
You got the energy quarterly?
I got it right here, thank you.
I'd like it back.
How about you get your own copy?
We're not ready to assess domestic nuclear storage facilities, sir. The team hasn't evaluated all the options and I haven't presented you with complete information.
You don't think this is a good start?
I think it's you doing my job for me. You're looking at this based on DOD's call. Their perspective is valid, but it's only one perspective, and until we've gathered all the others, if you need something to read, I recommend the new Benjamin Franklin bio. It's a real page turner. [Grabs papers and begins to exit] Thank you, Mr. President.
What was that?
I just got spanked.
Hmm... Sorry I missed it. She still nervous?
I don't think so, no.
