The West Wing1999

President Josiah Bartlet:
Charlie, I'm going to ask you a question. And this is one of those times that it's OK to tell me I've stepped over the line, and I should shut my mouth, okay?

Charlie Young:
Okay.

President Josiah Bartlet:
What happened to the guy who shot your mother?

Charlie Young:
They haven't found him yet, sir.

President Josiah Bartlet:
If they did, would you want to see him executed? Killing a police officer is a capital crime. I figured you must have thought about it.

Charlie Young:
Yes, sir.

President Josiah Bartlet:
And?

Charlie Young:
I wouldn't want to see him executed, Mr. President.

[pause]

Charlie Young:
I'd want to do it myself.
