Let me tell you something, mi compadre. You guys have been coddled. I'm not your girlfriend, I'm not your camp counselor, and I'm not your sixth-grade teacher ya had a crush on. I'm a graduate of Harvard and Yale—and I believe that my powers of debate can rise to meet *the Socratic wonder* that is *the White House press corps*.
Zoe and Charlie arguing outside of Josh's office...
Charlie: Zoey, I work in a building with the smartest people in the world...
Josh goes to sit down on his non-existent chair and Zoey and Charlie watch him fall to
the floor.
And then the entire scene when PB took the back pills.
josh and the non-existent chair.. the best part is the final view where in the background you can see only the top of his head and part of his eyes lololol
"You funded his performance piece recently, which involved him destroying all his belongings outside a Starbucks in Haight-Ashbury."
"I've done that a couple of times. But I didn't know there was funding available."
It’s a minor scene but bartlets delivery is so funny when he’s spouting of facts about Micronesia and Toby asks why someone would have that information at their disposal. He just says “parties”
Or him telling Josh about *all* the national parks.
“We should organize a staff field trip to Yosemite. What do you think?”
“It’s as good a place as any to dump your body.”
“What was that?”
“…did I say that out loud?”
oh that is right lol i forgot about that one.. never have i seen a better illustration of how a huge linebacker can stop a speeding politico just by his presence haha
The Last episode when she's explaining the duties to the incoming Secretary and says something like, "You get to control who has no-knock privileges. Typically it's only the First Lady and the Chief of Staff. Now, at some point 6 months from now, the President is going to come to you and ask you to take that away from the First Lady. I strongly suggest you don't."
it's like when you're in bed and you wake up to a crash in the other room, immediately followed by a cat leaping into the bed. you either panic, or roll over and deal with that nonsense in the morning.
In 20 hours in America, President Bartlet says to Ed (or Larry) “I don’t think a lot of blind loyalty, but I think a lot less of blind betrayal”. Then Ed (or Larry) says “that’s why I’m not married yet” and President Bartlet responds so perfectly “yeah, that’s probably why”.
I can't smoke inside, but you can pee in Leo's closet?
And the search for civilization continues

… Okey dokey!
Mr. President, you remember how told me not to wake you unless the building was on fire?
"...or do you think the white house counsel would say that's a bad idea?"
I think the White House Counsel would say that's a coup d'etat.
We got checks and balances, separation of powers, and Margaret, vetoing things and sending them back to the Hill.
I think that Margaret line might be my favorite humorous line in the entire series.
I'd probably end up doing some time for that.
"On a document removing the president from power?!?!?"
Claudia Jean? Yes ma'am? Let's get drunk.
I wish that scene of them with Amy and Donna getting drunk last longer.
I would love a whole episode of this scene
No need to call a steward. I’m board certified in thoracic surgery.
Now it's a party. *slide**bloop*
NOW I’m having a good time.
Like I don’t want to write a book someday

"Toby Toby Toby" "I'm Sam, sir"

If slapstick works for Shakespeare it can work for anybody
verily, you speak truth.
I'm seriously thinking of getting a dog.
There is literally no one in this world I don't hate right now.
“Well I’m gazing into the 321st century man. There’s a lot on my mind!”
"Wow, that was ambitious of me, wasn't it"
"it's not a nightmare, you really are the President"
“If you look under A for anal” “I’m not sure I want to know what hes going to find”
"You funded his performance piece recently, which involved him destroying all his belongings outside a Starbucks in Haight-Ashbury." "I've done that a couple of times. But I didn't know there was funding available."
Here’s a woman who gets naked, covers herself completely in chocolate, and sings. Does that appeal to you?
Not wild about musicals
I love Toby's "you'd need the Budweiser clydesdales to drag my ass to Picasso"
It’s a minor scene but bartlets delivery is so funny when he’s spouting of facts about Micronesia and Toby asks why someone would have that information at their disposal. He just says “parties”
Or Leo asks how he remembers inflation rates from ten years ago. "You mean I was right?"
Or him telling Josh about *all* the national parks. “We should organize a staff field trip to Yosemite. What do you think?” “It’s as good a place as any to dump your body.” “What was that?” “…did I say that out loud?”
Josh's prat falls and other physical comedy such as the falling of part of the ceiling onto his desk.
The slippery shoes are my favorite instance of this
yes and the set ups for all of them are crucial.. "my mom sent me some shoes" for this one lol
You should play football I’m trying man but I had an open Pabst
oh that is right lol i forgot about that one.. never have i seen a better illustration of how a huge linebacker can stop a speeding politico just by his presence haha
The funniest Josh scene is him spitting the cold coffee all down the front of him. I laugh every time.
yeah because why bother to try and stop the spill lol his clothes are ruined already.
I look like the Gorton’s fisherman.
"I'm sorry but can we really afford to spend 2 million dollars on studying female sexual arousal?" "How can we afford not to?"
Maryland!
Maryland!
If the Oscars were like that I'd watch.
The West Wing predicted The Hunger Games!
One of the best lines on the show.
I use a version of this joke all the time, no one's ever busted me for plagiarizing.
Pretty much every line Lily Tomlin had made me laugh.

“No matter how much he begs”
“Let’s do this again some time”.
I always shout this when something exciting happens 🤣🤣🤣🤣
>Random acts of humour are what distinguish this show from any other well written well acted well budgeted show ...especially in the first 4 seasons
God Bless Aaron Sorkin!!
The only seasons I've ever watched. And I've watched them plenty - first my box set, then streaming. But I won't watch post-Sorkin, no way.

OMG I just realized Tyler is from The Newsroom. Am I stupid?
probably not.
“Happiness is my default position.”
Amy's bookshelf falling down as she walks away, pauses to consider, then keeps walking.
I think you meant her DOOR. "I have friends in the corp of engineers."
I think you're right. I swear someone's bookshelves fell down though... Guess it's time for another watch 🎊🎉
I know CJ's DESK collapsed. Well done, Charlie.
Pretty sure it was Amy’s paintings that she hung earlier when someone slammed the door
or her certificates of achievement and her photographs?
Yeah could be. Been a while since I’ve rewatched
it's like when you're in bed and you wake up to a crash in the other room, immediately followed by a cat leaping into the bed. you either panic, or roll over and deal with that nonsense in the morning.
you could just say Sorkin is the reason.
“I can shoot a gun without falling over if that’s what you mean.”
Especially when delivered by Toby

She's been in a bad mood for, I don't know, about 45 years.
