10 West Wing quotes, all from the first season (y'know, when a show is usually trying to find its footing)
Rev. Van Dyke: If our children can buy pornography on any street corner for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay for free speech?
President Bartlet: No.
Rev. Van Dyke: Really?
President Barlet: On the other hand, I do think that five dollars is too high a price to pay for pornography.
Toby: You accidentally slept with a prostitute.
Sam: Call girl.
Toby: Accidentally.
Sam: Yes.
Toby: I don't understand, did you trip over something?
Josh: Let's say your cut of the surplus is $700. I want to take your money, combine it with everyone else's money and use it to pay down the debt and further endow social security. What do you wanna do with it?
Donna: Buy a DVD player.
Josh: See.
Donna: But my $700 is helping to employ the people who manufacture and sell DVD players, not to mention the people who manufacture and sell DVD's. It's the natural evolution of the market economy.
Josh: The problem is, the DVD player you buy might be made in Japan.
Donna: I'll buy an American one.
Josh: We don't trust you.
Donna: Why not?
Josh: We're Democrats.
Donna: I want my money back!
Josh: You shouldn't have voted for us.
Keep that one in mind if you're ever tempted to vote for a Democrat, folks
Josh: Five White House staffers in the room. I would like to say to the 1.6 of you who are stoned right now, that it's time to share.
Josh:I was interrogating this intern from the Legislative Liaison's Office, and she broke down crying while telling me about the bong she had made out of an eggplant.
Leo: You can do that?
Josh: I used to use a potato.
Leo: You've always been industrious.
Josh: An hour with you in a rare book store. Couldn't you just drop me off the top of the Washington monument instead?
President Bartlet: It's Christmas, Josh! No reason we can't do both.
President Bartlet: We meant 'stronger' here, right?
Sam: What does it say?
President Bartlet: I'm proud to report our country's stranger than it was a year ago"
Sam: That's a typo.
President Bartlet: Could go either way.
President Bartlet: You know, I was watching a television program before with a sort of a roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriend, apparently because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. Then they brought the boyfriends out and they all fought right there on television. Tell me Toby, these people don't vote do they?
Danny: Want to have dinner?
CJ: With you?
Danny: Yes.
CJ: I have to read a report on Sex Education.
Danny: Hey!
CJ: I'm anticipating any joke you could possibly make right now, and I'm not finding any of them funny.
Toby: You're concerned about American labor and manufacturing.
Congressman: Yeah.
Toby: What kind of car do you drive?
Congressman: Toyota.
Toby: Then shut up.
Rev. Van Dyke: If our children can buy pornography on any street corner for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay for free speech?
