- C.J. Cregg: You want me to hire Cliff Calley? No. He's the wrong choice, and he's irritating, and he's obnoxious.
- Leo McGarry: That's worked for us in the past.
- [Josh yells angrily outside door]
- Leo McGarry: You are no longer the guy who picks losing candidates and ushers them to their principled end. You're the guy who takes good men and makes them great. You and Josh, you still think you're terriers barking at the heels of the party. You are the party. Rafferty's a spoiler, shouldn't be in the race.
- Toby Ziegler: I'm not sitting this one out, Leo.
- Leo McGarry: Don't. But don't pretend you're still an outsider with a ponytail and a dream, you work in the White House... Your brother didn't have any more fight in him. You still do.
- Kate Harper: State and Foreign Ops have been working with USAID on what they're calling 'High Impact Health Services' for Mali... Look through this stuff and let me know if you have any questions.
- Charlie Young: You have any interest in being fixed up?
- Kate Harper: Not the kind of question I was referring to.
- Charlie Young: There's a guy at the gym. He asked me if you were seeing anyone; guess you're famous.
- Kate Harper: What guy?
- Charlie Young: I don't know his name.
- Kate Harper: Seriously?
- Charlie Young: We have mutual friends. I played a pick-up game with him about two years ago. We were introduced at the time, but now I see him around the machines at the gym, and it's all, 'Hey, man, how you doing?' And it's two years later; I can't ask his name. It's rude
- Kate Harper: And he asked you to fix me up with him?
- Charlie Young: Asked if you were seeing anyone. We were just a couple of guys talking at the gym. We keep the sentences short.
- Kate Harper: This is... No. And you should talk about something else at the gym.
- Kate Harper: [Picking up an earlier conversation Charlie about a diplomatic mission to Mali and a guy who asked Charlie about her at his gym] Here's the contact list for everyone on the trip. You'll wanna touch base.
- Charlie Young: Now?
- Kate Harper: Not right now. Let's talk about the guy.
- Charlie Young: I thought I was done with that.
- Kate Harper: What's he look like?
- Charlie Young: Like a white guy.
- Kate Harper: Like a pasty white guy?
- Charlie Young: He's Brad Pitt. He's Henry Kissinger.
- Kate Harper: Stop it.
- Will Bailey: [breaking in on their conversation] Hi.
- Kate Harper: Hey.
- [clearly brushing Will off]
- Will Bailey: I need Charlie.
- Kate Harper: [annoyed] We're working.
- Will Bailey: I heard 'Brad Pitt.' You're not working.
