The West Wing, Season Two

[all in voiceovers]

C.J.:
There are so many days where you can't imagine anything good will happen.

Josh:
You're buried under a black fog of partisanship and self-promotion and stupidity...

Sam:
...and a brand of politics that's just plain mean.

C.J.:
Yes, Hoynes had us nervous with his admonishment of big oil and, yes, the president was making us nervous too. But that's for tomorrow. Tonight, I've seen a man with no legs stay standing, Dad, and a guy with no voice keep shouting. And if politics brings out the worst in people, maybe people bring out the best. Because I'm looking at the TV right now, and damn if 28 U.S. senators haven't just walked onto the floor to help.
