Quotes2

  • 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.
  • Economist: [speaking to the President] You knew those numbers in your head?
  • Leo McGarry: The President's startlingly freakish that way.
