The West Wing, Season One

Sam:
[reading a newspaper article, quoting a congressman] "Folks down here are patriotic, fiercely patriotic. The President better not be planning on making any visits to this base. If he does, he may not get out alive."

Toby:
He said that? Sitting there with military officers?

Josh:
Don't take the bait.

Toby:
Josh.

Josh:
Don't take the bait!

Toby:
You'd better believe I'm going to take the bait.

Leo:
There ought to be a law against it.

Josh:
Why'd you get him started?

[Leo shrugs]

Toby:
There is a law against it! How about threatening the life of the President? He was talking to other people: how about conspiracy? They were military officers, how about treason? That was a member of our own party, Leo. That was a Democrat who said that!

Leo:
It's bad, I know.

Toby:
That's it?

Leo:
What are you going to do?

Toby:
Have the Justice Department bring him in pending felony charges.

Josh:
Toby's right. What's the good of being in power if you're not going to haul your enemies in for questioning?

Toby:
We're really not gonna do anything about this?

Leo:
Yeah, cause what we really need to do is arrest people for being mean to the President.

Toby:
There is no law. There is no decency.

Josh:
He's just getting that now.
