Lyman is the Deputy Chief of Staff, Leo is the Chief of Staff. You were close.

Charlie's waking of the President is one of my favourite moments of the show as well. The first or second (it's a two-parter) episode of the second season has Tobey delivering what might be my favourite line from the show. But, it's a tough call.

Did you watch the commentary for the pilot? After I did, I realised what an insane one-shot the opening shot of the show is. It goes for something like five minutes straight for something that had to be 7 pages of dialogue. Insane. Insanely awesome.

I said don't tell me!

I forgot to mention how much I loved the one-shots! Dammit..... KHANNNNNNNNNNNNN!

No, I might watch the commentaries tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out what the fourth disc is all about before turning it on.

Which Toby line was it that you were talking about? There's so fucking many it's ricockulous.

Second season. I just re-read that. Never mind.

Fourth disc is all bonus features. The featurette is really strong. The outtakes are mostly blown lines, which is a big deal with those huge one-shots.

My favourite line was pretty early on. When Sam was telling Toby that he accidentally slept with a hooker, Toby asks "Did you trip?"
