Sam and Nikolai in “Enemies Foreign and Domestic”

Sam

[negotiating a meeting with the Russian president] It's a coincidence that you should happen to mention the time of the meeting. See, President Chigorin only has to fly through one time zone. President Bartlet has to fly through seven. Don't get me wrong, this President can do three shows a night, but there's no one in the Western Hemisphere who has a worse reaction to jetlag than he does. Any trip 8 hours or longer and someone gets fired at the end of it, and it's already been me three times, so...

We'll pass it on.

I think everyone on the White House staff would agree when I say that one is a deal-breaker.
