The West Wing1999
Leo McGarry:

President Josiah Bartlet:
Killing Palestinians isn't going to make us feel safer. They'll kill more of us and we'll have to kill more of them. It's Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.
Leo McGarry:

President Josiah Bartlet:

President Josiah Bartlet:

Leo McGarry:
[shouting] We don't always know how it ends!
[pause]
Leo McGarry:

President Josiah Bartlet:
