Mallory O'Brien
- Sam Seaborn: Say, you mind if I skip the coffee? I wanna nail this thing.
- Leo McGarry: Oh, forget it. Your first draft was fine.
- Sam Seaborn: I wanna nail it, Leo
- Mallory O'Brian: Sam, the President was in on it. Your first draft was fine.
- Sam Seaborn: Yeah, but still...
- Mallory O'Brian: You wanna nail it
- Sam Seaborn: I do
- Mallory O'Brian: [to Sam about Leo] You're so exactly like him
- Sam Seaborn: Well, that is the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Thank you.
- [Sam breaks a date with Mallory McGarry]
- Sam Seaborn: This is something that came up, Mallory.
- Mallory O'Brian: It's his 50th birthday, Sam. They couldn't have seen this coming for, like, the last 50 years?
- President Josiah Bartlet: [to Mallory] These are some of the things your father did today.
- [Reading]
- President Josiah Bartlet: He met with the director of the C.I.A., and received an intelligence briefing regarding stores of plutonium in a country which, shall we just say is not on our Christmas card list. He brokered a compromise among democrats for funding of something fairly trivial, but I can't remember quite what it was, oh yes, the U.S. Army, yes. He met with chief counsel to discuss the news that it's possible I've broken some federal laws this week and may have to serve from one to three years in prison after resigning my office in disgrace.
- [to Leo]
- President Josiah Bartlet: How'd that go by the way?
- Leo McGarry: We're fine.
- President Josiah Bartlet: Cool. He received a security briefing, a Central American briefing, and wrote a position paper, and he's been counseling me throughout the day of a bad decision I have to make. Oh, and by the way, this was a very light day.
- Mallory O'Brian: Due respect, Mr. President... what's your point?
- President Josiah Bartlet: Uh... that's a perfectly fair question
- Leo McGarry: You know what, sir? I can take it from here.
- President Josiah Bartlet: Okay.
- Leo McGarry: Thank you.
- President Josiah Bartlet: I'm right next door.
- Leo McGarry: Thank you.
- President Josiah Bartlet: [Heads for his office, but stops] Oh, my point is... give your dad a break. He's your father.
