MR. BARTLET: This is Dolores Landingham. Mrs. Landingham, this is my eldest son, Jed.
JED: Am I boring you, Dolores?
MRS. LANDINGHAM: "Mrs. Landingham," please!
ABBEY: The consensus seems to be that if you step back, and put your support behind Hoynes, there's a decent chance the Democrats can keep the White House.
BARTLET: The world'll rest easier. We're here.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: I've got a project for you.
JED: Really.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: You can show the courage and the intellect and the leadership skills everyone talks about.
JED: I'm a little busy right now hosing down the boats.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: You know the women who work at this school are paid less money than the men?
JED: Sorry?
MRS. LANDINGHAM: The women are paid less money than the men.
JED: No, I didn't know that.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: You think your father does?
JED: Numbers, Mrs. Landingham.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: Excuse me?
JED: If you want to convince me of something, show me numbers!
MRS. LANDINGHAM: You're going to do it.
JED: Well, I didn't say that.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: Yes, you did.
JED: When?
MRS. LANDINGHAM: Just then. You stuck your hands in your pockets and looked away and smiled. That means you made up your mind.
JED: That doesn't mean anything.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: Yes it does.
JED: I stuck my hands in my pockets!
MRS. LANDINGHAM: And looked away, and smiled. We're in.
BARTLET: You get Hoynes.
DONNA: Josh, can this really be how it works? We have no idea if he's gonna run again. He's in a room with Leo making his decision. Two people in a matter of minutes. Is this how it works?
JOSH: That's how it works today.
MRS. LANDINGHAM: You know, if you don't want to run again, I respect that. But if you don't run 'cause you think it's gonna be too hard or you think you're gonna lose... well God, Jed. I don't even want to know you.
SANDY: Mr. President, can you tell us right now if you'll be seeking a second term?
BARTLET: I'm sorry, Sandy, there was a bit of noise there, could you repeat the question?
SANDY: Can you tell us right now if you'll be seeking a second term?
LEO: Watch this.
