Quotes3

  • Bob Engler: [Regarding UFOs] These things happen and go unexplained. you don't think this is something you should take to the President?
  • Sam Seaborn: No.
  • Bob Engler: Again may I ask why not?
  • Sam Seaborn: Because there are levels and an order to our air defense command and to jump from our radar officer to the commander-in-chief would skip several of those levels.
  • Bob Engler: Like what?
  • Sam Seaborn: Like the Pentagon and, you know, perhaps therapy.
  • Leo McGarry: Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block of cheese.
  • Toby Ziegler: Huh.
  • Leo McGarry: I am making a mental list of those who are snickering, and even as I speak I am preparing appropriate retribution. The block of cheese was huge - over two tons. And it was there for any and all who might be hungry.
  • Toby Ziegler: Leo, wouldn't this time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?
  • Leo McGarry: We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson.
  • Sam Seaborn: Actually, right now, you're talking about a big block of cheese.
  • Leo McGarry: And Sam goes on my list!
  • Sam Seaborn: And what about Toby?
  • Leo McGarry: I'm unpredictable. Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience.
  • Mandy Hampton: And then he locked the doors behind them and made them eat two tons of cheese.
  • Bob Engler: I would like you to show the President some data we've collected on some possible extraterrestrial contact.
  • Sam Seaborn: I really can't do that.
  • Bob Engler: May I ask why not?
  • Sam Seaborn: Because the President will either yell at me or laugh at me. Either way it won't work out well for me.
