Toby:
I was a telemarketer for about a week. I can't remember what we were selling, but you worked off a script. "Hi. Good evening. My name is..." And "Toby Ziegler" was okay for New York, but once I got into the other time zones, I needed a name that wasn't gonna bother anybody.

Bartlet:
Toby, if you have something to say, please say it.

Toby:
Ritchie's good for all time zones.

Bartlet:
My family signed the Declaration of Independence. You think I've got an ethnicity problem?

Toby:
Well, the line isn't between light skin and dark skin.

Bartlet:
Yeah?

Toby:
It's between educated and masculine. Or Eastern academic elite and plain-spoken.

Bartlet:
It's always been like that.
