Harry Lennix: Jim Gardner

Quotes 

• Warren Keaton : Does no one here care that closing the bases might be what's best for the country?

  Jim Gardner : [sarcastically]  No, Mr. Vice President, you're the only one who cares about the country. The rest of us are just here for the book deals.

• Jayne Murray : [running into Jim during her first day in the White House as a lobbyist]  Rumor is the President's decided to run.

  Jim Gardner : That's your hello?

  Jayne Murray : Come on! You guys brought in Dickie McDonald...

  Jim Gardner : Like, a half hour ago! Did somebody send up a smoke signal from the RNC?

  Jayne Murray : Oh, we use instant messaging now.

• Jim Gardner : [to President Allen, whose mother is visiting the White House for Thanksgiving]  Must be nice to get a visit from someone who's just here for the turkey.

  Mackenzie Allen : You don't know my mother.
