Bob Engler : [Regarding UFOs] These things happen and go unexplained. you don't think this is something you should take to the President?
Sam Seaborn : No.
Bob Engler : Again may I ask why not?
Sam Seaborn : Because there are levels and an order to our air defense command and to jump from our radar officer to the commander-in-chief would skip several of those levels.
Bob Engler : Like what?
Sam Seaborn : Like the Pentagon and, you know, perhaps therapy.
-
Bob Engler : I would like you to show the President some data we've collected on some possible extraterrestrial contact.
Sam Seaborn : I really can't do that.
Bob Engler : May I ask why not?
Sam Seaborn : Because the President will either yell at me or laugh at me. Either way it won't work out well for me.

Leo McGarry : Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block of cheese.
Toby Ziegler : Huh.
Leo McGarry : 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.
Toby Ziegler : Leo, wouldn't this time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?
Leo McGarry : We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson.
Sam Seaborn : Actually, right now, you're talking about a big block of cheese.
Leo McGarry : And Sam goes on my list!
Sam Seaborn : And what about Toby?
Leo McGarry : I'm unpredictable. 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.
Mandy Hampton : And then he locked the doors behind them and made them eat two tons of cheese.
