These are two of my favourites. Both from 'Mandatory Minimums' in season 1: DONNA: Josh. JOSH: The call? DONNA: On the cell. (hands him the phone) TOBY: Josh--you need us, we're standing right here. JOSH: Hi, Senator. Why don't you take your legislative agenda and shove it up your ass? (snaps phone shut and tosses it back to Donna) Turns out I was fine. ------------------------------------ JOSH: I'd like to clear up that I--I don't have suits for the days of the week. This is just a regular suit. SAM: It's a nice suit. DONNA: Sure, it's a nice suit. It's his Joey Lucas-- JOSH: Donna! DONNA: I'm beginning to regret not getting the waffles. LEO: I'm beginning to regret having hired any of you! We have a 42 per cent job approval and you're talking about waffles and ... something with Josh I don't understand. DONNA: He's wearing a special suit for Joey Lucas. LEO: You got dressed up for a guy named Joey? JOSH: Joey--Joey Lucas is a woman ... and I'm not getting dressed up for her. DONNA: It's his regular Tuesday suit.  |

A light hearted moment from We Killed Yamamoto:
Fitzwallace: Have you changed shampoo? You have, I can tell 'cos your hair seems bouncy and more manageable.
Leo: I like to look good for you.
Fitzwallace: Well, I appreciate it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The opening sequence of Enemies is also great. I could have typed out the whole lot but here's two of my favorites:
POTUS: I'm a National Park buff, Josh.
Josh: I'm sorry, sir?
POTUS: I said I'm a National Park buff, I bet you didnt know that about me.
Josh: Well I didn't know that about you sir, but I'm certainly not surprised.
POTUS: Why's that?
Josh: You're quite a nerd Mr President.
POTUS: Really?
Josh: Yes.
POTUS: I assume that was said with all due respect.
and then,
POTUS: We should organise a staff field trip to Shanadoah. I could even act as the guide. What do you think?
Josh: Good a place as any to dump your body.
POTUS: What was that?
Josh: Did I say that out loud?

From the first 2 acts of The Black Vera Wang
Barlett (to Leo): Tell me, of which of the Plantagenets do I most remind you?
and later...
Barlett (to Charlie): Let me ask you a question: if Shakespeare were to write a play about me, how many parts would it be?

Can't remember which episode but one of my favorite quotes :-
Leo : Do you wanna mock people or do you to let me talk to Toby
Josh: I wanna Mock people.
Just fantastic
another one that I can't remember the episode of is short and sweet and is a great toby moment which i think sums him up
Toby : Well that's ten seconds of my life i'll never get back......

from my favourite ep ever ( so far )
"Somebody's going to emergency...."
Sam It was high treason and it mattered a great deal. This country was an idea and one that's lit the world for two centuries. And treason against this idea is not just a crime against the living...this ground holds the graves of people who dies for it...
this epsd was , for me , the west wing at it's best

Another couple.
From The Two Cathedrals:
CJ: Please! I can only answer fourteen or fifteen questions at once!
And from Dead Irish Writers:
Donna (after POTUS's "What the hell happened" bit): I know how you feel Mr President.

coupla comedy moments..
Leo McGarry[: I am making a mental list of those who are snickering, and even as I speak I'm preparing appropriate retribution.
( the crackpots and these women )
Toby Ziegler: They know it was on course traveling at a rate of 15,400 miles per hour, which it was supposed to. Somewhere during its descent it was also supposed to release two probes -- each about the size of a basketball -- firing them deep into the ground as part of the mission's search for evidence of water under surface.
Josh Lyman: We think if we hit the ground hard enough, we can make it to the center of the planet and find water?
Toby Ziegler: Yeah.
Josh Lyman: That's not a theory of physics pretty much disproved by Wile E. Coyote?

Bartlet:- You told the press i had a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh:- No i did not do that... except yes i did that. There was this idiotic round robin. It was sarcastic there's no way they didn't know that. they were just mad at me for imposing discipline and calling them stupid.

TOBY: "Sam, if your ass isn't off my desk, and I mean stat...."
"What Kind Of Day Has It Been"
BARTLET: "Were we talking about something?"
C.J: "I don't know, sir. When I came in here, back in the late 50's, there was a purpose to it but then one thing led to another and I blacked out, I mean, I can hang in there with the best of them, sir, but somewhere during the discussion of anise and coriander and the fifteen spices you like to use to baste the turkey I simply lost consciousness."
BARTLET: "You know that line you're not supposed to cross with the President?"
C.J: "I'm coming up on it?"
BARTLET: "No, no. Look behind you."
C.J: "Yes, sir."
BARTLET: "Would you like to leave?"
C.J: "With your permission, sir."
BARTLET: "Damn right with my permission."
C.J: "Yes, sir."

Sam falling out of bed was one of the funniest moments I've seen. Also couldn't stop laughing at Josh falling over, just after Charlie tells Zoe that some of the smartest people in the world work in the White House. Can't remember which episode it was, but somewhere in series 1.

One of my many favourites: A Proportional Response.
We've already had a great quote from that episode between CJ and Josh, this is Toby.
T: "There is a law against it."
Josh: "Why did you get him started?"
T: "How 'bout Threatening the Life of the President. He's talking to other people, how 'bout Conspiracy. They were military officers, how 'bout Treason."

From: Somebody's Going To Emergency, Somebody's Going To Jail....
CHARLIE
Your brother’s been speaking with Neda Wallin, counsel to the Bartlet Presidential Library
Commission and apparently the site violates the Historic Barn and Bridges Preservation Act.
BARTLET
Which says?
CHARLIE
I’ve got it here in my notes. "Requires that all non-housing farm and ranch structures
built prior to 1900 be preserved by the owners unless destroyed by an act of God".
BARTLET
What plaid flannel-wearing, cheese-eating, yahoo of a milkman governor signed that idiot
bill into state law? [beat, while Charlie keeps his eyes down] It was me, wasn’t it?
CHARLIE
Yes, sir.
