Leo and Bartlet in “Third-Day Story”

Leo

Mr. President.

Bartlet

A morphine drip, and we can skip the formalities. I might get one myself... wheel it into meetings with the joint chiefs. You're not fired, Leo. You can delegate, work part-time. Bring the morphine with you for all I care.

Leo

You... You remember... what you told me... when you offered me the job?

Bartlet

"I need you to jump off a cliff."

Leo

And I did. And I'd do it again. But you need a new... chief of staff.

Bartlet

We came here to put the job first. Spend our lives for something that would outlast us. I just thought we'd have a longer line of credit is all. I'm gonna need that list of names.

Leo

Only one name.
