Are you people trying to kill me?
We're trying to make sure you can move to Oregon and kill yourself.

Toby.
Yeah.
Is there something you wanted?
World peace?
Toby, I'm not protecting you. Go hide from the President somewhere else.
Who needs Dante? I'm on my way to hell at 30,000 feet.

You start saddling up camels in every country in the Middle East then you better be prepared to spend the next 50 years sifting through sand because this isn't a quick run on the beach, Jed. This is the new world order.

Mr. President, when these schoolboys protest, when they truly wish to denounce us, you know what they say? [pause] They call us Americans.
When we were elected, I really thought we were going to own the place, do it differently, better. Now I realize the men on this plane are the only others who have been there before, who really know.
S5The Benign Prerogative
A lot of them, their judges spoke at their sentencing about the harshness of what they had to impose.... Scrutinize away. You tell me? Do we toss out Daisy Aimes, mother of three... had a boyfriend who stored a kilo in her closet. She's done eight years and is facing eleven more. That's longer than rapists and child molesters get.... I don't see a list anymore. These are people.
I will never surrender in the War on Drugs, but if you are consistently getting slaughtered on the battlefield, you've probably misjudged your enemy.
CJ, with the press -- could you ever trust a reporter?
Is this the beginning of a joke?
If it was you whispering pardons in his ear, it was the right thing.
I don't whisper, Leo. That's not how it works between us. My job is to help Jed be as good a President as he is a man.

I can't dress for this thing without you. Which one screams "dominance"?
Do I get to wear it afterwards?

More college kids think they'll see UFOs than Social Security checks.
But they don't tell you how many believe in UFOs; that's the number we ought to be worried about.
If we're not running offense, we're running defense, and if we're playing defense, then there's some clever sports analogy that explains what happens then....
We're screwed.
That'll do...
A little tough love's what these people need. If that doesn't work, I'm moving on to Molotov cocktails.
Social Security is the third rail of American politics. Touch it, and you die.
That's 'cause the third rail's where all the power is.
