SAM Where do we find him?

LEO A psychiatric institution.

BARTLET He’s colorful, Leo.

LEO You’re really gonna let him loose in the White House, where there’s liquor and women?

BARTLET We can hide the women. But the man deserves a drink.

Main stories of the episode

An Indian invasion of Kashmir and the threat of nuclear confrontation with Pakistan pushes the President to ask Lord John Marbury to help him

QUOTE

MARBURY Allow me to present myself, Lord John Marbury, I was summoned by your President.

LEO Yes. We’ve met, ten or twelve times. I’m Leo McGarry.

MARBURY I thought you were the butler.

Josh is made to answer questions regarding the White House staffers and drug use.

CJ is annoyed that she was left out of the loop with India and Pakistan, and made to look a fool

Charlie asks the President if it’s ok to date Zoey

BARTLET I’m sorry?

CHARLIE Well, Zoey was talking to me before, and she mentioned that if I had a free night-

BARTLET My daughter asked you out?

CHARLIE Yes sir.

BARTLET I should have locked her in the dungeon.

CHARLIE I don’t think you’ve got one, sir.

BARTLET I could have built one.

Things that don’t make sense

Leo tells Lord John Marbury that you can’t smoke in the building, reinforced in season 2, ‘the war at home’ [But Toby smokes in ‘Mr Willis of Ohio]

QUOTE

BARTLET They won't let me smoke inside but you can pee in Leo's closet

What are Sam and Donna doing in a meeting that Military options are discussed?
Britain doesn’t have ministers to India and Pakistan, it has ambassadors

Bartlett’s faith…….

He couldn’t remember the reference ‘I looked and I beheld a pale horse, and the name that sat on him was Death and Hell followed with him. [It’s Revelation 6:8]

Thought for the episode:

BARTLET Just remember these two things: She’s nineteen years old, and the 82nd Airborne works for me.
