Josh, Leo McGarry and others in “Jefferson Lives”

[about Haffley] What the hell just...

Will. In the Oval, and grab C.J.

We just... we got tagged. [They walk into the Outer Oval Office.] Idiot thinks he tagged us.

He did.

...

He's bluffing.

We don't blink.

What the hell is he thinking? Is he just in over his head?

He's an idiot. And he's bluffing.

We put up Berryhill and we wait for the Republicans to self-destruct.

If we have the time.

He's an idiot, he's bluffing, and we're going to destroy him.

You worried about it leaking or are you worried about our numbers?

Both. How long can we spin this so our numbers hold? If it drags on and gets ugly and people have time to worry...

We've got a fight; with this list it's a joke. August Adar would bore the country into a stupor and Starkey is, forgive me, sir, more likely to keel over in the next three years than you are.

Diane Frost is a serious name.

Diane is a serious loon of the left.

I love Diane Frost. I'd marry Diane Frost if I were a member of her stated sexual preference, but Diane is the definition of unelectable.

That's their agenda: sniper anyone who looks hard to beat next time around.

I thought this choice wasn't about partisan politics.

It is now.
