- C.J. Cregg: Is there anything I can say other than the President rode his bicycle into a tree?
- Leo McGarry: He hopes never to do it again.
- C.J. Cregg: Seriously, they're laughing pretty hard.
- Leo McGarry: He rode his bicycle into a tree, C.J., what do you want me - the President, while riding his bicycle on his vacation in Jackson Hole, came to a sudden arboreal stop.

- President Josiah Bartlet: [shaking hands] Yes, Reverend.
- John Van Dyke: May I ask you a question, Sir?

- John Van Dyke: If our children can buy pornography on any street corner for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay for free speech?
- President Josiah Bartlet: No.

- President Josiah Bartlet: On the other hand, I do think that five dollars is too high a price to pay for pornography.
- C.J. Cregg: Why don't we all sit down?
- President Josiah Bartlet: No, let's not, CJ. These people won't be staying that long.
