Natalie: Can you believe it?
Casey: 179 penalty minutes.
Natalie: In a 60-minute game.
Casey: That’s crazy.
Natalie: Not as crazy as Dana coming back from dinner without her panties.
Casey: What?
Natalie: Hmm?
Casey: What’d you say?
Natalie: When?
Casey: Just then.
Natalie: Nothing.
Casey: Dana came back from dinner without her panties?
Natalie: No.
Casey: Why’d you say she did?
Natalie: It’s just an expression.
Casey: You said it’s not as crazy as Dana coming back from dinner without her panties.
Natalie: Well, technically it’s not, Casey.

Jeremy: Here’s another one: “When you return to your quarters, strip in a room free of drafts and let two men rub you gently with soft Turkish towels.”
Natalie: Jeremy—
Jeremy: “Then they should rub you with coarser towels to quicken the circulation and harden the skin.”
Natalie: Jeremy—
Jeremy: There’s a joke to be made there, I just couldn’t get the bat off my shoulder.

Casey: No, Dan, and thank you very much for correcting my every mistake no matter how small, oh these many years.

Jeremy: Part of what you said is true.
Dan: Really?
Jeremy: I have to stand firm, not to establish an upper hand but to establish equality. 
Dan: Exactly.
Jeremy: We’ll have an argument and she will take a position that absolutely defies logic. Now, I have a pretty good respect for logic. But then all she has to do is put on one of my shirts.
Dan: The shirt. 
Jeremy: She’ll grab a white dress shirt from my closet.
Dan: You’re cooked.
Jeremy: It’s over.
Dan: That’s it!
Jeremy: Like bishop to queen’s rook 7. 
Dan: Keep going.
Jeremy: My chess team was playing Lakeland. I start my match king’s pawn 3, king’s pawn 3. Bam, bam bam. All of a sudden the guy moves bishop to queen’s rook 7. I lost 32 moves later, but I was never even in it. 
Dan: Right. And that relates to Natalie wearing your shirt how?
Jeremy: I have to stand firm. Thank you.
Dan: Right.

DANA: My name is Dana, you unbelivable moron. You’ve known me for 15 years. Flirt with me. Tell me why you like me better than Sally.
CASEY: I do like you better than Sally.
DANA: Tell me why.
CASEY: I don’t understand.

Dan: Watch the game with me.
Rebecca: No.
Dan: It’ll be great. I’ll tape it and we can watch it later tonight.
Rebecca: Nope.
Dan: Why?
Rebecca: ‘Cause you like me right now. And you love sports. And I think when you see those two things in a room together at the same time, I’m gonna look a little less like what you want.
Dan: I think you’re wrong.
Rebecca: I have to go back to my office.
Dan: First of all, what makes you so sure I like you right now?
Rebecca: Well you follow me everywhere I go and you ask me out all the time.
Dan: You’re reading way too much into that.
Rebecca: Dan—
Dan: See, you may have attended the Wharton School, but I graduated from a little institution called Dartmouth, and I took Psych 101, and on one or two occasions I went to class. So I know all about the likes of you, Miss Missy. You’ve built yourself a wall. A wall of pain. A wall whose bricks are made of pain, and whose mortar is made of tears, and whose… what’s the other one. There’s bricks and mortar and—
Rebecca: That’s it.
Dan: Really?
Rebecca: Just bricks and mortar.
Dan: There isn’t a third thing?
Rebecca: No.
Dan: Whatever. You got a wall.
Rebecca: I’m going back to my world now.
Dan: I’m gonna tear down that wall, Rebecca. Bit by little bit.
Rebecca: Okay. Bye.
Dan: I’m gonna tear it down! For I am Dan: Doer of Good Things Where Women are Concerned.

Please understand that it’s not that I don’t think Natalie isn’t capable. She’s extremely capable. Her capability really can’t be questioned. But Natalie’s young and she’s from a very small town in Ohio. A very small town. There were 32 people in her high school class. Her town was so small it’s almost hard to believe she’s kept me on hold this long.

SAM I had to talk to Karen Cahill last night.
DONNA Did you fall down at all?
SAM I did not. In fact, we were talking about the stability of former Soviet Republics and their fear of Islamic extremism and I have to say that I made some very scholarly points regarding the remains of nuclear weapons in Kyrgyzstan, and I have to believe…
JOSH Kazakhstan.The nuclear weapons are in Kazakhstan.
SAM I said Kyrgyzstan?
JOSH Yeah.
SAM Yeah, well, Kyrgyzstan has no nuclear weapons.
JOSH No.
SAM Kazakhstan is a country four times the size of Texas and has a sizable number of former Russian missile silos.
JOSH Yeah.
SAM Kyrgyzstan is on the side of a hill near China and has mostly nomads and sheep.
DONNA I’m sure you got it right last night.

The West Wing: 2x11 - The Leadership Breakfast

DAN The story is we had a conversation — seriously. Someone had clearly briefed [Hillary Clinton] on my stuff with the public schools, and I told her about my opposition to secular programs that are publicly financed. I really spoke up and she seemed to listen.

DAN What do you mean?
CASEY You don’t oppose secular programs that are publicly financed, you oppose nonsecular programs that are publicly financed.
DAN Yes.
CASEY Go on.
DAN Wait.
CASEY I’m right.
DAN You sure?
CASEY “Nonsecular” means “bound to religious guidelines.” “Secular” means “free of religion.”
