Toby: Mrs. Landingham, does the President have free time this morning?
Mrs. Landingham: The President has nothing but free time, Toby. Right now he's in the residence eating Cheerios and enjoying Regis and Kathie Lee. Should I get him for you?
Toby: Sarcasm's a disturbing thing coming from a woman of your age, Mrs. Landingham.
Mrs. Landingham: What age would that be, Toby?
Toby: ...Late twenties?
Mrs. Landingham: Atta boy.
Toby: Can I have a cookie?
Mrs. Landingham: No.

I have difficulty sometimes talking to people who don't race sailboats.
When I was a teenager, I crewed Larchmont to Nassau on a 58-foot sloop called Cantice. There was a little piece of kelp that was stuck to the hull, and even though it was little, you don't want anything stuck to the hull.
So, I take a boat hook on a pole and I stick it in the water and I try to get the kelp off, when seven guys start screaming at me, right? 'Cause now the pole is causing more drag than the kelp was.
See, what you gotta do is you gotta drop it in and let the water lift it out in a windmill motion. Drop it in, and let the water take it by the kelp and lift it out. In, and out. In, and out, till you got it.
The voters aren't choosing a plumber, Mr. President. They are choosing a president. And if you don't think that your family should matter, my suggestion to you is to get out of professional politics.
And if you think that I'm going to miss even one opportunity to pick up half-a-knot boat speed, you're absolutely out of your mind. When it costs us nothing, when we give up nothing?! You're out of your mind.
— Bruno Gianelli (character) to President Jed Bartlett (character), 'The West Wing' s03e07

“TK: When I lived in New York, I was in this pick up hockey game and I twisted my ankle kind of bad. They called an ambulance and I called the guy I was seeing at the time from the hospital to come pick me up. On the way down, he stopped and met his friends for a beer.
Carlos: He stopped for a beer?
TK: Yes.
Carlos: You called him to pick you up when you were hurt. And he stopped for a beer.
TK: Well he was supposed to meet his friends, he stopped to tell them why he couldn’t.
Carlos: And had a beer.
TK: Yep. But see? You’re better than any of my old boyfriends. There isn’t anything for you to worry about, babe.
Carlos: Hey, TK?
TK: Yeah?
Carlos: I want you to know, that if you were in an accident, I wouldn’t stop for a beer.
TK: If you were in an accident, I wouldn’t stop for a red light”.
