S4Red Haven's on Fire

How did you live with Josh Lyman?

I'm sorry?

How did you live with him? He beat Max out of the 12 million earmarked for vaccine education. And when I said I wanted the 12 million he said "So did I. And at the end of a prize-fight, you look at the guy who's dancing around and that's who won"? So I wanna know how you lived with him.

We never technically lived together which was the subject of many–

Don't you wanna kill him when he says things like that?

My problem is I wanna jump him when he says things like that.

Where'd you get your mouth?

Brown, then Yale Law School.

[in jail] How'd you call Josh? Didn't they take your cell phone from you?

[motioning to a group of prostitutes] I used theirs.

So on a call-girl's phone bill, there's gonna be a call to Air Force One?

You really gonna be teaching a seminar on call-girl caution? Really?

[about the First Lady's speech] You should tell her not to talk about the House vote.

You want me to tell Mrs. Bartlet she's going to look like a dilettante?

I once had to tell the President he was wearing two different shoes.

That's roughly the same.

[to Sam] You're gonna lose, and you're gonna lose huge, they're gonna be throwing rocks at you next week, and I wanna be standing next to you when they do.

S4Privateers

So we're for freedom of speech everywhere but poor countries, where they can have our help, but only if they live up to Clancy Bangert's moral standards? What the hell kind of free world are you running?

BBartlet

I really don't know, Abby. The day hasn't started yet.

CGCompany Guy

We don't make chemicals, Toby. We make ideas.

Uh huh. But what do you sell?

CGCompany Guy

Chemicals.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

When was the last time you did?

About nine months ago.

How long did it last?

About two days. In my defense, though, she was psycho.

So why are you giving me relationship help?

Because I'm the only one in this conversation who didn't get a Dear John email from his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend.

God, that's really true, isn't it?

Am I being hazed? Is this a hazing? 'Cause I'll go along and everything, but I have to see Josh...

It's not a hazing. They don't do that. [feels in his pocket] Except... yes, you put olives in my jacket again.

I did, I did do that. But this is on the level.

Are you going to do what I asked in the email?

No.

You just refuse.

I do. I refuse, respectfully.

You can't refuse and be respectful at the same time.

Watch me. Ask again.

Stop pursuing me.

Respectfully, no.

Why?

'Cause I'm in love with you, and that's the way it goes.

S4Angel Maintenance

There's a Festival of Lights and Bonfires in this region that accompanies something called the Wildflower, you know, Renaissance, with lilac and ochre.

RReporter

That you can see from thirty-three thousand feet?

Yes, it's arranged in a pattern that befuddles astronomers to this day. We should be coming up on it any...

CChris

Oh my God!

Of course, on the right side of the plane, there's an F-16 Falcon.

Stopping all bipartisan legislation is like saying 'Let's blow up the place. Maybe voters'll hire us to rebuild it.'

By the way, not for nothing, but draftees aren't nearly as well trained. It's why there were so many casualties in Vietnam.

Right. Also, the Vietcong.

Plus that.

It's okay, you're afraid of flying.

I'm not afraid of flying. I... experience flying.

KKatie

If there is an issue of national security, isn't it also a national issue for everyone down there?

RReporter

In other words, turn on the damn phones.

Someone ask Steve what time it is; it's going to crack you up!

RReporter

C.J....

How is it a threat to anyone on the ground?

Air Force One generally doesn't break all by itself.

Steve...

Claudia, in a room someplace, they're talking about the possibility that the plane was sabotaged.

By screwing with the front wheel?

MMark

If the malfunction is because of a leak in the hydraulics, and they try to recycle the gear, the front end of the plane's gonna blow up.

No, you're right, I should definitely let you use the phones.
