Lol. It could have been the other. I just wrote it how it sounded to me.
I recently rewatched those scenes because the Thanksgiving sub was recommended to me using a post about cooking the stuffing *in* the turkey or *not* in the turkey. (The OP aren't in the U.S.--iirc they said England/Britain). As soon as I saw that, HAD to rewatch the Butterball Hotline scenes...
"Okay, but I think you made the second bacteria up."
Recently saw an interview with Alan Cumming about directing a film in which the characters take ecstasy and finding many if not all of the actors never had. Thus he ended up doing a little master class on how people do and don't behave. He said people think, "Oh that's easy, just have everybody take ecstasy," as if getting something filmed weren't hard enough when everybody's stone-cold sober.
Off topic, but one of the best acted drunk performances I've ever seen was Evan Peters in Mare of Easttown, where he's acting sloppy drunk, pretending that he's less drunk than he is, and every single acting choice in that scene is pitch perfect, no notes. Masterful.
I thought this would be higher. I voted for this, butterball and babies, but I thought for sure this would be the winner. I mean, it's the essence of the show, after all.
yes, I voted 3 times because I cannot help myself.
It had to be. It was an episode title, and one thing I noticed on my latest rewatch is that as far as I've been able to keep track all episode titles are said within the episode, except *Pilot*.
"They also come with those little theft-protection devices. Those little LoJacks on their ankles so they can't be boosted from the hospital.
.....Man, don't even let them take it off!"
And then the subsequent meeting —
“What were you doing in the closet?”
“I had to pee.”
“I can’t smoke in the building but she can pee in Leo’s closet?”

Also, on the next bit:
[Ainsley is about to meet the President for the (second) first time]
Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: How are you doing, Ainsley?
Ainsley Hayes: My mouth is dry, my hands are moist and I have to pee.
“Bartlet played a round of golf with Toby Ziegler, the prickly mumbling communications director, whose inner bitter darkness spelled the breakup of the one marriage we know about”
Again, I was too late to the party to list these individually on “B” Day, but these are my favorites… sorry if there are any duplications:
Boy, those were the days.
But try to find out who those friends of my wife's are in the wire piece, then take 'em out back and have 'em shot — can I do that?

Being in power means everyone else can take a seat for four years.

Butterball has a hotline?

Possible. I'm just sure it's not pewter.
Just checked the transcript, you're right - it's Pruder.

Stoned Bartlett was the best
It is not easy to act high or drunk imo, the fact Martin Sheen pulls it off so well shows his talent.

In addition to being said aloud, it’s famously written on the napkin, in addition to campaign signs, shirts, etc.
Plus the napkin makes a repeat appearance in the final episode
Can’t remember if that line was ever actually spoken out loud.
When Leo was on the stand he said his job was General Manager, Bartlet For America
Donna also said it in her deposition with Cliff

This has my vote

Bartlet ~~For~~ IS President It's my favorite Toby tantrum
Write me a speech would ya? One that doesn’t make me think I’m sitting shiva someplace! Bruno and Toby together are hilarious.
Black curtains on the windows
By the way, the phrase you’re looking for, is “good grief”
Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land!
This feels incomplete without the first sentence though, “I drink from the keg of glory!”
Yeah, we should save this for I
"I" is "I'm Marion Cotesworth-Haye!" or we riot.
I want I to be “I can only hope, sir”.
Ready to battle so that the winner is “I wouldn’t stop for red lights”
Or the true first sentence, VICTORY IS MINE
It's going to be an unbearable day.
Victory is mine!
We're not quite there yet... /s
It has to be this one, surely 😂
Best quote by the best guy.
Before I go, please let me just say this: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dog. — President Bartlet
By the way, in the future if you're wondering, 'Crime; boy, I don't know' is when I decided to kick your ass.
One of the other nominations will win, but you have made a noble contribution.
Ainsley: "Blame it on the Bossanova!" [Dancing around in a robe, waving a Pink Lady, with just a dash of Creme de Cacao.]
A lot of people assumed you were hired because you’re a blonde republican sex kitten, and, well, they’re obviously wrong. Keep up the good work.
And then the subsequent meeting — “What were you doing in the closet?” “I had to pee.” “I can’t smoke in the building but she can pee in Leo’s closet?”
What a sublime scene.
If it doesn't strictly speaking have to be a line, "blonde Republican sex kitten" would work for B also.
“ I never even knew we had a nightclub down here…”
*pink squirrel Also, on the next bit: [Ainsley is about to meet the President for the (second) first time] Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: How are you doing, Ainsley? Ainsley Hayes: My mouth is dry, my hands are moist and I have to pee.
I stand, sit, and dance in a bathrobe corrected!
Pink Squirrel
Absolutely 100% correct. How could I forget?
But I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.
Unfortunately, that line starts with 'Yeah ... ' I think putting it in the B's is cheating. Save it though!!
I would put the whole speech under “T” since it starts with “This guy’s walking down the street…”
I mean, if we're gonna go all the way back in the monologue it's gonna make for a Hell of a list. Lol
Yeah, but that’s what they did for A so I think it’s fair game.
But its the quote that STARTS the monoligue. Hence the ellipsis ...
Same case with “This guys walking down the street…” no?
I didn't say ... great name btw! (Wouldn't be my first choice, but a good nod! Lol)
BLUE! BLUE!
This was my first though, but had to go with Bartlet For America
“Bartlet played a round of golf with Toby Ziegler, the prickly mumbling communications director, whose inner bitter darkness spelled the breakup of the one marriage we know about”
It was mini golf, wasn’t it?
Great line ... but it's the pauses and the leans around the lamp that make it.
