JOSH: Charlie, I've got some questions here for you from the Council's office, as well as the Department of the Treasury and the Office of Internal Security. These questions are all routine, there's no cause for concern. Ready?
CHARLIE: Mr Lyman--
JOSH: 'Have you ever tried to overthrow the government?'
CHARLIE: Is it because the messenger job is not available anymore? Because maybe if I came back at a different time.
JOSH: Charlie, this job's actually better than the messenger job. It pays more, you don't have to ride around town on a bicycle and instead of being a messenger, you get to be personal aide to the President.

What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party? I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things, every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘Liberal,’ as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.
Day 24: Best quote.Matt Santos; The West Wing, 7x07 Debate

THIS IS FAAAAR TOO HARD so I decided to go with a recent quote I liked, rather than my favorite of all time. Also, I’ve never done a graphic for this one before. If you look through my TWW tag, you’ll see other quotes I love, like the exchange with Jenna Jacobs from season 2. But like I said, this is just a quote from a more recent episode I watched.

I love Santos, I really really do.

As I watch and re-watch The West Wing, I’m struck by how some of the President’s quotes are only reasonable coming out of Martin Sheen’s mouth on the gorgeous West Wing sets. In any other context I imagine they’d pretty much make a person look like a douche.

Knowing this, I find myself desperately wanting to drop his lines in at random moments in my own life. I would deliver them with a distant, somber resolve. I would do the lines justice, but I can’t say the same for the less than exemplary cast I’d be playing opposite.

I’ve attached a few examples that came to mind. I recommend you do the same since it’s proven to be a lot of fun. Other than being sued or insulted on an online message board by Aaron Sorkin, there’s virtually no downside to the exercise.

The Aaron Sorkin trademark of showing two characters walking down a hallway toward a moving camera talking sidelong to one another originated in A Few Good Men. A scene between Kaffe and Ross was written as being set in an office, but Rob Reiner, in an effort to create more action on screen, suggested that it be changed so that they were walking down a hallway … and the rest is history.

“ The volcanic eruption of tabloids, Internet insanity and — you better believe it — reality TV, has de-creepyized voyeurism. More than that, it’s made the private lives of public people — in the vocabulary of television writers — the “A” story. And in a not-so-convoluted way, the “A” story has an author — thousands of authors in an extraordinary collaboration. When I need the audience to know that a piece of information they’re about to hear is important, I can use words, a close-up, a push-in, music… when the authors of the no-longer-private-lives “A” story want the audience to know that something’s important, it shows up on our Yahoo homepage. (The third story on my homepage yesterday was that Britain, our closest ally, has a new Prime Minister. The first story was about Justin Bieber. Unless the new Prime Minister is Justin Bieber, something’s obviously gone wrong.) Is Sean Hayes’ sexuality relevant to his performance? It has to be — the “authors” told us it was important.
