President Josiah Bartlet:
Well, you put me in a bit of a spot there, Abigail. I name Ron Erlich now, which I was going to do anyway, and it makes it look like I'm taking instructions from my wife!

Abbey Bartlet:
Still it was wrong!

President Josiah Bartlet:
Are you talking about you or me?

Abbey Bartlet:
I'm talking about you. I'm talking about you sending people to me, and I'll tell you what else I'm talking about. I'm talking about you waiting a day to name a new Fed Chair, because thirty years ago the new Fed Chair was my boyfriend for six months.

President Josiah Bartlet:
I'm talking about sending me messages through the press, and staking out agendas on morning shows. We are not going to be these people, Abbey. I'm not gonna do it! I'll walk up to the Hill right now, and I will give the Speaker of the House my resignation.

Abbey Bartlet:
The House isn't in session.

President Josiah Bartlet:
You want to see me get on the phone and put it in session?

Abbey Bartlet:
Don't raise your voice to me.

President Josiah Bartlet:
It was nine months, Abbey, not six months. And I waited a day on Skippy, because the Fed Chair is a fairly important position, and I wanted to make damn sure my decision was right.

Abbey Bartlet:

President Josiah Bartlet:
How the hell do you know?

Abbey Bartlet:
You just said so. "I name Ron Erlich now, which I was gonna do anyway, it looks like I'm taking instructions... from... my... wife!"

President Josiah Bartlet:
Yes.

Abbey Bartlet:
Yes.

President Josiah Bartlet:
Yes.
