      President Josiah Bartlet: I'm confident in your loyalty to me; I'm confident in your love for me. If you lie to protect me, if you lie just once, if you lie just a little, if you lie 'cause you can't stand what's happening to me and the people making it happen, if you ever, ever lie, you're finished with me. You understand?

      Charlie Young: Yes, sir.

      President Josiah Bartlet: Say you understand.

      Charlie Young: I understand, sir.
