The West Wing, Season Six
Bartlet:
I'd like to know why my Treasury Secretary's on national television denouncing a tax cut I never saw because of an estimate I never asked for.
Josh:
We did offer to brief you on the details.
Bartlet:
Brief me now.
Josh:
We're not quite ready to brief you on the details.
Bartlet:
Because you made a complete hash of it; the Leadership's sole request before taking up peacekeeping.
Toby:
We're close to 60 Democratic votes.
Josh:
It's just that you might face a decision about the fall legislative agenda.
Bartlet:
What is that?
Toby:
Would you prefer a bill to appoint an American monarch...
Josh:
...or a ban on the institution of marriage, except in casinos and department stores.
Bartlet:
You tell the Speaker and the Majority leader that with my newfound royal authority, with all my free time now that my marriage has been banned, and with the support of every NATO member in my pocket I'm sending those peacekeepers to the Middle East. If Congress wants to feed them, pay them, or ever bring them back, that's entirely up to them.
Toby:
I assume we're free to play with the language on that.
Bartlet:
We're done here.
