MARGARET: The doctors say the paralysis is temporary but I think they're lying.
LEO: They can't lie about the President's health. It'd be a crime ...and one we've commited before, to boot.
So early this evening as I was forlornly wading through a river of homework, my mom suggested that I imagine myself as one of the hoity toities on the West Wing, doing interpretation for schmootzy pants. (She has a fixation with Sam Seaborn - not that I can blame her - and she always insists on referring to him by schmootzy pants, not his name). Anyway, I thought this was a nice use of imagination. I'm trying to decide whether or not Sam actually speaks any Spanish. All I can decide is he's either very, very good at it or horrifically bad. There just don't seem to be any in-betweens with Sam Seaborn.
Anyway, mom's comment infected me with a WW bug, and since the recent party races have me constantly referencing Season Six, I've decided to go with Season Six - everything from when Josh asks Santos to run onward. In fact, I may just watch the Santos episodes. Not sure yet. That means I'm starting with Impact Winter and thus the above quote *points* It's actually not really that funny in text, I suppose, but Leo's ironicaly delivery made me laugh. Then again, when does Margaret/Leo banner not induce giggles? ;-)
What is the proper spelling of schmootzy pants, anyway? Somebody find a transcript - I'm too lazy. LOL
Here's a picture of Sam in one of the most famous yummy moments in TV history: (Since I happened to have it in my gallery anyway. Bwuahaha)
And no, the irony in the fact that Sam is nowhere to be found in Season Six had not escaped me. ;-)
