Danny Concannon
- Danny Concannon: We're both about to fall off a cliff. And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life, except I know what I don't wanna do. And on Inauguration Day, you're going to be released from that glorious prison on Pennsylvania Avenue, with...
- C.J. Cregg: No human skills?
- Danny Concannon: Seems to me...
- C.J. Cregg: I should punch you in the face.
- Danny Concannon: That's what I'm talking about.
- C.J. Cregg: Keep going...
- Danny Concannon: So, if I'm gonna jump off the cliff, and you're gonna get pushed off the cliff, why don't we hold hands on the way down?
- C.J. Cregg: Men are like salmon. Swimming upstream, hosing down the riverbed with their indiscriminate seed...
- Danny Concannon: Indiscriminate seed?
- C.J. Cregg: Until...
- Danny Concannon: Did you just say "indiscriminate seed"?
- C.J. Cregg: Until they die, bloated and spent, belly-up in the sun.
- Danny Concannon: Oh, quit sweet-talkin' me, baby.
- C.J. Cregg: Unless they get taken out with a bear paw in the waterfall, as they deserve to be.
- C.J. Cregg: I wanna do my job. I wanna suck every morsel of meat off this experience before it's over.
- Danny Concannon: Just get something done, will ya?
- C.J. Cregg: That'll come down to what it always comes down to.
- Danny Concannon: What's that?
- C.J. Cregg: How dirty do my feet have to get without disappearing into the mud in order to get an inch of what I really want done.
- C.J. Cregg: I'm sorry about the other night.
- Danny Concannon: Why?
- C.J. Cregg: Because I was behaving like the kind of Type-A career woman freak automaton that I so very much do not want to become.
- Danny Concannon: Please...
- C.J. Cregg: I wanted to see you... and I haven't felt that in a long time and I just got all awkward and antagonistic.
- Danny Concannon: That's okay, as long as you didn't kill our fish.
- Danny Concannon: Can I ask you something?
- C.J. Cregg: Yeah.
- Danny Concannon: Why'd you come here tonight?
- C.J. Cregg: Cause you made me promise to.
- Danny Concannon: Why'd you come?
- C.J. Cregg: ...I wanted to see you.
- C.J. Cregg: I'm surprised you called. I vaguely remember shunning you.
- Danny Concannon: Dignity's not my forte.
- Danny Concannon: I'm halfway through my life and I'm never quite sure if I'm doing anything right until I'm completely done doing it wrong.
- C.J. Cregg: Work with it.
- Danny Concannon: So, this may not come out right.
- C.J. Cregg: I forgive you.
- Danny Concannon: And incrementalism is not an option. I'm forced into a heroic posture.
- C.J. Cregg: Heroic can be good.
- Danny Concannon: Feels funny.
- C.J. Cregg: You can do it.
- C.J. Cregg: Can't do anything if you don't get elected.
- Danny Concannon: Your boss never has to get elected ever again. But, you guys are content running out the clock with the same game of well-intentioned defense you've always played.
- C.J. Cregg: That's not true.
- Danny Concannon: You could do more in a day than most people could do in a lifetime.
- C.J. Cregg: You think I'm not aware that I'm living the first line of my obituary right now?
- Danny Concannon: So, don't get hypnotized by complexity, make it count.
