- Josh Lyman: I just need to tell you this. Come here. Sorry, come here.
- Toby Ziegler: Josh...
- Josh Lyman: Come here. All right, it was desperation. It wasn't out of a desire to do evil. He had a young family and he barely spoke the language. He went to jail.

- Toby Ziegler: I appreciate that that's what you think. Do I get to think what I think?
- Josh Lyman: No, you don't, cause you don't know what I know.

- Charlie Young: [after Will fumbles badly on meeting the President for the first time] You know what? I've seen worse.

- Charlie Young: Well, Jean-Paul, I read a hundred and fifty words about you in US Weekly and I feel like I know you already.
- Danny Concannon: I'm back. And I'm happy about it. And I think you know how I feel about you, but don't mess me around on this story, okay?
