Will:
You saw the wires. They counted the number of questions I was asked this morning because I didn't answer one of them.

C.J.:
You thought we were going to get good coverage this week?

Will:
47, by the way; a career high.

C.J.:
You have to let the press punch themselves out.

Will:
You're talking to the punching bag. My job is to look like I'm not completely ignorant. Counsel won't even brief me on the details of Toby's firing.

C.J.:
I asked them not to.

Will:
Don't you want me to have a shred of credibility in the briefing room?

C.J.:
Your ignorance is your credibility. That's why I put you in this job. And your constituents aren't in that room, they're in distressed urban areas. You brief at 4:00.

Will:
0 for 47. I'm the Jamaican Bobsledding Team!
