BARTLET Cause it's not going to work. LEO What do I get if it works? BARTLET What do you get? LEO Yes. BARTLET Well, I can't make you Thailand's ambassador to the United States because I just signed that guy's letter.
My favourite open to this entire series - these two were the lynchpin of the whole she-bang, when Leo died, it was like I'd just been kicked in the gut.
Rachel Maddow showed this scene when the Obama Admin announced to scrap its missile defense system in Europe. I just about fell off my couch laughing. Nice to see her people have watched the West Wing.
COLONEL
137.
LEO
We missed the target by 137 feet?
COLONEL

LEO
[looks at him, incredulous] We missed it by 137 miles?!
BARTLET
When you consider the size of outer space, Leo, that's not so bad.

This show is a drama, and it was funnier than most of the sitcoms with which it competed.
Does that speak to the lame-ness of american comedy these days, or the absolute brilliance of Sorkin's writing and these guys' performances?

All the crap on TV and they can't give Aaron Sorkin one hour a week? This is why I stopped paying for cable.

When I saw a link on CNN talking about Israel's "Iron Dome." This is what I thought of.

Bartlet: "When we stay at the Oriental in Bankok, we have to check out James Michner's typewriter."

"By the way, the words you're looking for are 'Oh, Good Grief." ZING!!
And I totally cracked up at Leo's WTF expression when Bartlet chucks that James Mitchner thing out of nowhere right before the intercept.
