Leo:
Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block of cheese.

Toby:
Huh.

Leo:
I am making a mental list of those who are snickering, and even as I speak I am preparing appropriate retribution. The block of cheese was huge - over two tons. And it was there for any and all who might be hungry.

Toby:
Leo, wouldn't this time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?

Leo:
We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson.

Sam Actually, right now, you're talking about a big block of cheese.

Leo:
And Sam goes on my list!

Sam:
What about Toby?

Leo:
I'm unpredictable. Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience.

Mandy:
And then he locked the doors behind them and made them eat two tons of cheese.

Leo:
It is in that spirit...

Sam:
Hang on. Mandy doesn't go on the list?

Leo:
Mandy's new.

Sam:
So it's just me... on the list?

Leo:
Yes. It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson that I, from time to time, ask senior staff to have face-to-face meetings with those people representing organizations who have a difficult time getting our attention. I know the more jaded among you, see this as something rather beneath you. But I assure you that listening to the voices of passionate Americans is beneath no one, and surely not the peoples' servants.

Josh:
[walks in with C.J.] Sorry, we're late. Is it "Total Crackpot Day" again?

Leo:
Yes, it is.

Sam:
And let us please note that Josh does not go on the list.
