SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASONS OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND THE WEST WING
My Presidents Wear Glasses
My Presidents Are Religious
My Presidents Are Ill
BARTLET [on T.V.]: ... began experiencing blurred vision and numbness in my legs. Two years and many tests
later, I was diagnosed with a course of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
ROSLIN: I told your father that I had allergies but I have cancer. I've found out the morning of the attack.
My Presidents Believe in Their Staffers
SAM: I don't know how you... I don't know the word, I... don't know how you do it.
BARTLET: You have a lot of help. You listen to everybody and then you call the
play. Sam. You're gonna run for President one day. Don't be scared. You can do
it. I believe in you.
ADAMA: She trusts you, values your counsel. She'll listen to you.
BILLY: I doubt that very much. I'm her assistant. She doesn't put any more stock in
what I say than--
ADAMA: She thinks you'll be president one day.
BILLY: 'Scuse me?
ADAMA: That's what she said to me once, that you reminded her of president Adar when
he ran for his first office.
My Presidents Are Stoned
C.J.: Mr. President. Did you by any chance take your back pills?
BARTLET: I don't mind telling you C.J. I was in a little pain there.
LEO: Which did you take, sir, the Vicodin or the Percocet?
BARTLET: I wasn't supposed to take 'em both?
ROSLIN: Oh, my Gods. I didn't think he'd ever leave.
ADAMA: He's a good kid.
ROSLIN: Hmm. Indeed.
ADAMA: You say this stuff grows around here?
ROSLIN: Mm-hmm. In the mountains north of here there's this little stream that
comes down into this lake the water is so clear it's like looking through glass.
I'm thinking of building a cabin.
ADAMA: That's good.
ROSLIN: Mmm, it is good.
My Presidents Are Stuck On a Plane
BARTLET: The press can't know this is going on. There are two issues. One is that
the Nikkei's about to open, the other is national security. We can't broadcast that Air
Force One is up in the air over West Virginia and can't land.
ROSLIN: I'm trying to contact the government right now and get more information.
In the meantime, we should be prepared for an extended stay aboard this ship.
My Presidents Suffer From Pre-debate Complications
ABBEY: By the way, I feel bad. I don't think I've done enough to help you prepare
for this debate.
BARTLET: Why are you telling me this now?
ABBEY:Just 'cause.
BARTLET: Oh, my God. You're insane. Are you...? You're insane!
ADAMA: Yeah, my father used to break pencils before he went into court,
then borrow one from the clerk. Break preconceptions, work with what you have.
ROSLIN: You know, I like that. Let me see. I like it. It's good.
ADAMA: Feel better?
ROSLIN: Yeah. But what happens if the, uh, moderator doesn't have a pencil?
ADAMA: Then you're pretty screwed.
ROSLIN: Oh, no. I used to get the giggles before debating in high school.
My Presidents Nominate and Promote
BARTLET: Judge Mendoza, would it surprise you to learn that for the past few months,
your name has been in the short list of candidates for the bench?
MENDOZA: Yes, Mr. President.
BARTLET: Well, then this is gonna knock your socks off. Tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock,
I am naming you as my nominee to be the next associate justice of the United States Supreme
Court. You were not the first choice, but you are the last one, and the right one. Will you accept the nomination?
MENDOZA: With honor.
ROSLIN: Rumor has it that I know very little about military protocol, but
I do believe that someone who commands more than one ship is called an admiral. Congratulations, Admiral Adama.
ADAMA: Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Billy. I, um, I never gave
up hope. I just stopped trying to get these a long time ago.
ROSLIN: Just goes to show you, Bill. Never give up hope.
ADAMA: Same goes for you, Laura.
