Toby celebrates the confirmation of Mendoza with his ‘day of jubilee’

QUOTE

TOBY Mandy, I feel like I've lost a hundred and eighty pounds. I'm smiling. I’m laughing. I'm enjoying the people I work with. I gotta snap out of this. What's on your mind?

MANDY I want you to help me get the Chinese to give us a new panda bear to replace Lum-Lum.

TOBY Well, that did the trick.

TOBY Then get us two regular bears, a bucket of black paint, a bucket of white paint, bam, bam, next case.

MANDY It's hard to believe that the wildlife lobby was nervous about you.

CJ discovers a reporter has spoken to Zoey and Zoey has lied

Josh discusses slavery reparations with a civil rights attorney

Sam and Mallory battle of school vouchers

Margaret rocks!

Her and Toby have a great 'walk and talk' conversation.......

QUOTE

TOBY Hey there, Margaret.

MARGARET Are you okay?You don't usually say, "Hey there, Margaret."

TOBY What do I usually say?

MARGARET You usually growl something inaudible.

TOBY You, on the other hand, should turn that frown upside down.Let your smile be your umbrella, Margaret.

MARGARET
Okay, now you're scaring the crap out of me, Toby.

You gotta have faith

Toby talking about his day of Jubilee is a reference to the book of Leviticus

QUOTE

[Lev 25:10] ‘You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reap its aftergrowth, nor gather in from its untrimmed vines. ‘For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field. On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.

Doesn’t make sense………

Ron Butterfield discusses how the latest sorority pledge is having your picture taken with Zoey, but Georgetown (where Zoey goes) doesn't have fraternities.

CJ says that only her, Charlie, Zoey and Bartlet are the only people who knew she lied, she also told Sam

The title is paraphrasing Alice in Wonderland.
"Alice finds herself on a chess board, talking to the White Queen: Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said: 'one CAN'T believe impossible things.'
"'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half- an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'"

Sam Norman Seaborn?

QUOTE

SAM On schedule is going to be my middle name from now on. Seriously. I'm having it legally changed.

CATHY
What was it before?

SAM
Norman.

Think Sam ‘on schedule’ Seaborn is a better name actually!

Haven’t I heard that before……….
There is a real parallel between Josh talking to Jeff Breckenridge, and Tom Cruise’s character talking to Jack Nicholson in a few good men, about their respective Father’s dying

Rhythm's going to get you.....
Music: Allison Janney lip syncs "The Jackal" from Ronny Jordan's "Quiet Revolution" cd.

Thought for the episode.....

QUOTE

SAM Mallory, education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic monumental changes. Schools should be palaces. The competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be making six-figure salaries. School should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge to its citizens, just like national defense. That’s my position. I just haven't figured
out how to do it yet.
