| | I started re-watching The West Wing tonight, I missed a lot of it when it first aired. I lost track of how many times I had to pause the DVD while watching the pilot episode so that I could laugh without missing any of the dialogue. It's brilliant! Some examples: Leo McGarry: He's a klutz, Mrs. Landingham, your president's a geek.
C.J. Cregg: Is there anything I can say other than the President rode his bicycle into a tree? Leo McGarry: He hopes never to do it again. C.J. Cregg: Seriously, they're laughing pretty hard. Leo McGarry: What do you want me to - the President, while riding his bicycle, came to a sudden arboreal stop. Toby Ziegler: You think the United States is under attack from 1200 Cubans in rowboats? Sam Seaborn: I'm not saying I don't like our chances. Toby Ziegler: It's mind-boggling to me we ever won an election. [discussing a large group of Cubans currently floating from Havana to Miami on rafts] Leo McGarry: How many are there? Josh Lyman: We don't know. Leo McGarry: What time exactly did they leave? Josh Lyman: We don't know. Leo McGarry: Do we know what time they get here? Josh Lyman: No. Leo McGarry: True or false: If I were to stand on high ground in Key West with a good pair of binoculars, I'd be as informed as I am right now. Josh Lyman: That's true. Leo McGarry: The Intelligence budget's money well spent. Josh Lyman: You know what, CJ? I really think I'm the best judge of what I mean, you paranoid Berkeley shiksa feminista... Wow, that was way too far. C.J. Cregg: No. No. Well, I've got a staff meeting to go to and so do you, you elitist, Harvard, fascist, missed-the-dean's-list-two-semesters-in-a-row Yankee jackass. Josh Lyman: Feel better getting that off your chest there, C.J.? C.J. Cregg: I'm a whole new woman.
So frakking good, I love it!
