The West Wing, Season Seven

Santos:
Next time you decide to smear me maybe you'll have the guts to do it yourself.

Vinick:
I had nothing to do with that ad. You blew off the debates. It's clear what kind of campaign you want.

Santos:
Oh, I forgot how eager you were for debates. And next time you send left-wing lobbyists to my office don't forget the gift card.

Santos:
You want an ugly campaign you're going to get one.

Vinick:
I didn't start this.

Santos:
Nah, your henchmen did it for you. [pause] You're hitting me on partial-birth tonight, aren't you? [He shakes his head and chuckles]

Vinick:
Here we are, a Presidential campaign, grand national debate, pounding each other on one of the few things we basically agree on.

Santos:
Then let's negotiate now.

Vinick:
Excuse me?

Santos:
No backroom tactics. You and me, a real debate.

Vinick:
Oh, please.

Santos:
A real debate, really.

Vinick:
No negative ads. No attacks in our speeches out there.

Santos:
If we can have a real debate on the issues, just you and me...

Vinick:
How's Sunday night?

[Santos holds out his hand. Vinick shakes it.]

Vinick:
It's a hell of a way to end your campaign.

Santos:
Oh, I'm just getting started.
