Will: Ever try to pull that Davis cup thing on anyone else?
Annabeth: What Davis cup thing?
Josh: Leo used to tell these tall tales to test how gullible you were? Like how he played Davis cup tennis before he blew out his knee.
Will: How he hustled chess games in Washington Square Park.
Donna: How he was a train conductor.
Josh: Minor League baseball player.
Bartlet: If you were buying it the stories kept getting bigger and better.
C.J.: My favourite was how he almost made the Olympic luge team in 1962.
Annabeth: He didn’t make the luge team in 1962?”
Will: There weren’t any Olympics in 1962
C.J.: Don’t worry about it. I made it all the way to Minor League baseball player.
Josh: Didn’t you think it was kinda weird that after he blew out his knee he played minor league baseball?
Will: I made it to dance instructor.
Bartlet: No, no. That one was true. He taught me to fox-trot.
C.J.: Really?

SAM: You know anything about chaos theory?
MALLORY: I know it has to do with fractal geometry.
SAM: That’s about all I know too. But it has to do with there being order and even… great beauty, in what looks like total choas. And if we look closely enough at the randomness around us, patterns will start to emerge. I love Josh like a brother and he’s a world-class political mind but until today, I didn’t know he was smarter then I was. I’ve worked here three years and eight months and until you sit in the room all day, you can’t comprehend the chaos of the Oval Office. I had one good moment talking about the global ripple effect of budget defict, but that was it. The rest of the day was just keeping up. And this was a pretty light day.
MALLORY: One moment is good.
SAM: Oh, I’m not complaining. I’m saying one good moment is great. It’s a golf shot… I’ve got to get back in there. That’s where it’s happening.The West Wing, 4x01 20 Hours in America
Bartlet: I came to this hallowed chamber one year ago, and I see we’re spelling “hallowed” with a pound sign in the middle…
Sam: We’ll fix that.
Bartlet: The pound sign is silent, I assume?
———
Bartlet: I came to this hallowed chamber one year ago on a mission, to restore the American dream for all our people as we gaze at the vast horizon of possibilities open to us… in the 321st century. Wow, that was ambitious of me, wasn’t it?
Sam: Leo.
Leo: Let’s take a break.
Bartlet: We meant “stronger” here, right?
Leo: What’s it say?
Bartlet: I’m proud to report that our country is stranger than it was a year ago.
Sam: That’s a typo.
Bartlet: Could go either way.
Josh: Hi
Donna: Hi
