Quotes
-

Bernard Thatch : You're a freakishly tall woman.
-
Bernard Thatch : C.J., your necklace is a monument to bourgeois taste.

Bernard Thatch : You're welcome.

Bernard Thatch : Cailloux was a contemporary of Courbet, who was considerably more gifted. This is a painting of the cliffs at Entretat, cleverly titled "The Cliffs at Entretat." It is a minor work
Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg : What's it doing here?
Bernard Thatch : It was on loan from the Musee d'Orsay to the National Gallery. The President, on a visit to the National Gallery, and possessing even less taste in fine art than you have in accessories, announced that he liked the painting. The French government offered it as a gift to the White House, I suppose in retribution for EuroDisney. So here it hangs, like a gym sock on a shower rod.
Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg : You're a snob!
Bernard Thatch : Yes.
