The West Wing, Season One

Josh:
We've got a bit of a sticky wicket.

C.J.:
Please don't tell me I'm staying here and working late tonight.

Josh:
I need you to read a report.

C.J.:
I'm a woman in her prime, Josh, I'm a prime woman.

Josh:
There's no doubt about it, but I need you to read this anyway.

C.J.:
What is it?

Josh:
We want Congress to sign off on funds for a hundred thousand new teachers. They say, fine, but you gotta stipulate that in Sex Ed classes....

C.J.:
Abstinence only?

Josh:
Yes.

C.J.:
I would have no trouble passing such a class.

Josh:
We commissioned a report about a year ago on Sex Education in public schools, and, well, this is it.

C.J.:
What's it say?

Josh:
It's not good.

C.J.:
How's it not good?

Josh:
It says basically that teaching 'abstinence only' doesn't work-that people are going to be prone to have sex whether they're cautioned against it or not.

C.J.:
Well, what are they recommending?

Josh:
Something called "abstinence plus".

C.J.:
Abstinence plus?

Josh:
Yes.

C.J.:
What's that mean?

Josh:
Well, Sam's renamed it 'everything but'.

C.J.:
Everything but?

Josh:
Yes.

C.J.:
Ah.

Josh:
Yes.

C.J.:
They want teachers to teach...

Josh:
Yes.

C.J.:
And so the sticky wicket joke was..?

Josh:
A regrettable pun. Should I order you some food?

C.J.:
Y'know, I can't remember the last time I got home before midnight.

Josh:
By the way, pages 27 to 33? A couple of things every girl should know.

C.J.:
Get me a salad.
