Abbey and Bartlet in “The Indians in the Lobby”

Abbey

They came to me. They said, "What do you think about having Thanksgiving at Camp David instead of New Hampshire?" They told me why, I said fine.

And what part are you leaving out now?

Abbey

The part where I lied to you.

Yes!

Abbey

Yes! I do that sometimes. Sometimes I don't wanna go fifteen rounds on Bess Truman and what constitutes a farm. On your behalf, I have responded to polling information telling me what I should wear, and what I should say, to say nothing of the fact that I have been subpoenaed to answer questions before Congress on how I secretly kept you alive. So explain to me now how what I did was out of line.

You know what? It was.

Abbey

[pause] I know.

Well, with the ingredients for stuffing you have to cook them before you put them in the turkey, and you're not going to know whether I did or not.

Abbey

I'll do what I always do with anything you cook. I'll wait for the girls to eat it first.

Me, too.
