Got two for G both of which I really like

This G is a quote from Toby in the 3rd season, war crimes,

QUOTE


group. We're a team. From the President and Leo on through, we're a team. We win together, we lose together. We celebrate and we mourn together. And defeats are softened and victories are sweeter because we did them together. . . . You're my guys and I'm yours --- and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you."



This one is from 'Bartlett for America' and said by Mrs Landingham [I still miss her!]

QUOTE


"Governor, does it frustrate you to constantly aim for humor and yet miss so dramatically?"

J is for Jackson, without whom we would never have 'big block of cheese day!' or as Toby calls it It’s “Throw Open Our Office Doors To People Who Want To Discuss Things That We Could Care Less About... Day”


You just have to ignore the first word of the quote below, d'oh!

QUOTE


Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block of cheese.... 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."
"Leo, wouldn't the time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?" Toby asks.
"We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson.... 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.... It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson that I, from time to time, ask senior staff to have face-to-face meetings with those people representing organizations who have a difficult time getting our attention. .... I know the more jaded among you, see this as something rather beneath you. But I assure you that listening to the voices of passionate Americans is beneath no one, and surely not the peoples servants."




Taken from season one, 'the crackpots and these women'

K here huh? I've been staying away from this thread but I'll try my hand at it now... This is one of my favorite quotes from "The Red Mass" season 4:

QUOTE
JANET
Knowing the candidate's name, say. This was his fourth one by the way.

SAM
Fourth what?

JANET
Heart attack.

SAM
The Democrats have nominated someone who's had three heart attacks?

JANET
Yes.

SAM
And you think I don't care enough about...? What kind of signal does this send to...? I have to
talk... No, this isn't going to be a part of my life.

JANET
Wow, you just did a whole thing all by yourself.

SAM
Yeah, I do that.


EDIT: Cause I just realized that this was my 200th post! YEY! :)

L is for ..........

Ways and Means.......

QUOTE

"Letting this fire burn is good for the environment," Bartlett tells Leo. "You know how I know?"
"How?"
"'Cause smart people told me. Please, God, Leo, let them be right!" Later he adds, "I'm betting on a weather report, of all things."


and from Bartlett for America......

QUOTE

Listen, I don't care that much about your ass but if you need to perjure yourself to protect me you're going to damn well do it."
"Sir, this isn't a secure phone call. So I'd like to say to the 17 global intelligence networks listening just then, that he was kidding."

M is for................

Gotta go with a classsic, said it before and I'll say it again, best writing ever, '20 hours in America, part II

QUOTE

More than any time in recent history, America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

44 people were killed a couple of hours ago at Kennison State University. Three swimmers from the men's team were killed and two others are in critical condition. When, after having heard the explosion from their practice facility, they ran into the fire to help get people out. Ran into the fire. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They're our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless. this is a time for American heroes. We will do what is hard We will achieve what is great. This is a time for American heroes and we reach for the stars. God bless their memory, God bless you and God bless the United State of America. Thank you.

I like this quote, it's from an early one, 1.3 a proportional response, so N is for.....

QUOTE

C.J.No, no. Well, I’ve got a staff meeting to go to and so do you, you elitist, Harvard fascist missed-the-Dean’s-list-two-semesters-in-a-row Yankee jackass!


I also had to put this in, one of my favourite scenes, never fails to make me laugh, I love Leo and Margaret together!

So my other N quote is for.........

QUOTE

LEO Nope. We blew that play.

MARGARET Is there going to be trouble?

LEO We'll see. To be honest with you, I don't really care right now.

MARGARET Can I -- can I just say something for the future?

LEO Yeah.

MARGARET I can sign the President's name. I have his signature down pretty good.

LEO You can sign the President's name?

MARGARET Yeah.

LEO On a document removing him from power and handing it to someone else.

MARGARETYeah! Or... do you think the White House Counsel would say
that was a bad idea.

LEO I think the White House Counsel would say it was a coup d'etat!

MARGARET Well. I'd probably end up doing some time for that.

LEO I would think. And what the hell were you doing practicing the President's signature?

MARGARET It was just for fun.

LEOWe've got separation of powers, checks and balances, and Margaret vetoing things and sending them back to the Hill.

this is from "a proportional response"

QUOTE

Toby:- Ordinarily we'd get help with early informaion from sources inside the Syrian intelligence network.

Bartlet:- So what's the problem.

Toby:- We just blew up the Syrian intelligence network.

Bartlet:- oh for crying out loud, will somebody get on the phone to CNN and find out if we hit anything.

Amanda - August 25, 2005 11:54 PM (GMT)
Alright, this should be a fun place to make my first post....

And it's an easy one of course :

"Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc" - in of course the episode of the same title :D
