Quotes

Toby Ziegler : C.J., wow this is hard. Couldn't be happier that you got this gig. But I think it's just time for me to go. Six years is a - I just thinks it's time for me to move on, and this is my letter of resignation to the President.
Josh Lyman : I don't want to pile on, but working for one of my closest friends is, I think, I'm not going to be at my best.
[Toby and Josh put down letters]
C.J. Cregg : Josh, you can't...
[looks at Josh, then Toby]
Jed Bartlet : I'm sorry to barge in.
C.J. Cregg : Mr. President, can I have just a minute?
Jed Bartlet : I'll make this quick. I don't know if I'm comfortable working this closely with a woman. Maybe it's time for me to call it a day, give the VP a chance to steer the ship.
[C.J. looks confused; after a moment, Toby starts giggling and then others, talking to Toby]
Jed Bartlet : You're weak. You have a weak will. You should have held it. See if she pulled out the Continuity of Government plan.
Will Bailey : He cracked up at the mere suggestion of the VP.
Toby Ziegler : [still laughing] I had a whole thing on spending time with my kids, I went up.
C.J. Cregg : You are bad, bad men.
