Bartlet and Charlie in “Lord John Marbury”

Bartlet

Say, listen. My hesitation about your going out with Zoey before, you know, it's not 'cause you're black.

Charlie

I didn't think it was.

Bartlet

It's not.

Charlie

I thought it was 'cause I'm a guy.

Bartlet

It is.

Charlie

I understand.

Bartlet

Still, I want you to go out with her if that's what you both want to do.

Charlie

I'd like to.

Bartlet

That's fine.

Charlie

Thank you, sir.

Bartlet

Just remember these two things: She's nineteen years old, and the 82nd Airborne works for me.

Charlie

Yes sir.
