Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail
TWW 2x16: A Picspam
For
sorkinverse, in honor of Rob Lowe naming this as one of his two favorite episodes this week on Twitter.
LEO: I think you're putting too much faith in the power of a new shirt.
JOSH: We know it's Big Block of Cheese Day, and we know why it's called Big Block of Cheese Day, so there's really no need for the speech.
CJ: What do mapmakers have to do with social equality?
LEO: Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of the White House, had a two ton block of cheese.
JOSH: And a Wheat Thin the size of Lake Tahoe.
DONNA: Nothing. You got me out of the Big Block of Cheese Day meeting.
STEPHANIE: What's ...?
DONNA: I had the worst feeling you were going to ask.
Bartlet: What plaid, flannel-wearing cheese-eating yahoo of a milkman governor signed that idiot bill into state law? [pause] It was me, wasn't it?
STEPHANIE: Believe it or not, I advise the WTO in certain areas of macroeconomics. So a global monetary crisis can't be very far off.
TOBY: Officer Sachs, it's going to be a day at the beach.
SAM: The reason I mentioned before that it could be a drawn-out process...
STEPHANIE: I understand. I just need to be able to give him some good news. He's a sweet man in a bow tie...
CJ: Why are we changing maps?
TOBY: Well, it's not like being at a Yankee game... [crowd continues to yell and curse] No, it's exactly like being at a Yankee game.
Nancy McNally: Do I have a bizarrely androgynous voice?
JOSH: These guys find Brigadoon on that map, you'll call me?
CJ: Probably not.
TOBY: It's called the science of listener attention. We did repetition, we did floating opposites, and now you end with the one that's not like the others. Ready? Free trade stops wars. Heh, and that's it. Free trade stops wars! And we figure out a way to fix the rest. One world, one peace - I'm sure I've seen that on a sign somewhere.
BARTLET: This is the last job I'm ever gonna have. This is the last time I'm going to come to work with people. I swear to God, I feel like I was just starting to get good at it
SAM: I've been around, then I came down here to practice my sugar tossing. Because if you don't practice, you might as well give the Clarinet to a kid who will use it.
DONNA: It was people pushing paper around fifty years ago. Why does it matter?
SAM: It was high treason, and it mattered a great deal! This country is an idea, and one that's lit the world for two centuries and treason against that idea is not just a crime against the living! This ground holds the graves of people who died for it, who gave what Lincoln called the last full measure of devotion, of fidelity.
SAM: It's just, there are certain things you're sure of, like longitude and latitude.
DONNA: Sam, I don't know if this is the best time to tell you, but according to CJ, I wouldn't be so sure about longitude and latitude.
in a New York minute, everything can change
