    "And Sam goes on my list!"
    "What about Toby?"
    "… I'm unpredictable."
    Followed by:
    "Hang on, how come Mandy isn't on the list?"
    "Mandy's new."
    "So it's just me, o- on the list."
    "Yes."
    The show is serious a lot of the time but this stuff is hilarious.

      He played it beautifully. His character was perfect. His downfall as VP due to his ego, sleeping with a WH reporter and bragging and revealing two classified details, was 100% credible. His resignation led to the need to have the Republican Speaker step in when Bartlet invoked 25 when Zoe was kidnapped.
