Roma Maffia: Officer Rhonda Sachs

Quotes 

• Toby Ziegler : It's activist vacation, is what it is. Spring break for anarchist wannabes. The black t-shirts, the gas masks? Fashion accessories.

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : [sarcastic]  These kids today with the hair and the clothes.

  Toby Ziegler : Alright, that's it flatfoot.

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : I got great feet.

  Toby Ziegler : You want to know the benefits of free trade? Food is cheaper.

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : Yes.

  Toby Ziegler : Food is cheaper! Clothes are cheaper. Steel is cheaper. Cars are cheaper. Phone service is cheaper. You feel me building a rhythm here? That's because I'm a speech writer - I know how to make a point.

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : Toby...

  Toby Ziegler : It lowers prices, it raises income. You see what I did with 'lowers' and 'raises' there?

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : Yes.

  Toby Ziegler : It's called the science of listener attention. We did repetition, we did floating opposites, and now you end with the one that's not like the others. Ready? Free trade stops wars. Heh, and that's it. Free trade stops wars! And we figure out a way to fix the rest. One world, one peace - I'm sure I've seen that on a sign somewhere.

  Officer Rhonda Sachs : [sarcastic]  God, Toby. Wouldn't it be great if there was someone around with the communication skills who could go in there and tell them that?

  Toby Ziegler : [beat]  Shut up.
