Ways and Means (2001)

John Spencer: Leo McGarry

Quotes 

• Leo McGarry : What have you got?

  C.J. Cregg : Nothing. You know why?

  Leo McGarry : Rollins likes us.

  C.J. Cregg : I don't know if he likes us, but he doesn't hate us.

  Leo McGarry : Well, that's just 'cause he doesn't know us.

  C.J. Cregg : Leo, we need to be investigated by someone who wants to kill us just to watch us die. We need someone perceived by the American people to be irresponsible, untrustworthy, partisan, ambitious, and thirsty for the limelight. Am I crazy, or is this not a job for the U. S. House of Representatives?

  Leo McGarry : Well, they'll get around to it sooner or later.

  C.J. Cregg : So let's make it sooner - let's make it now. Rollins is driving them crazy. He's moving too slow. He won't talk to the press. They're ready to jump. I swear to God, Leo, I think we can move the show.

  Leo McGarry : You got a briefing now?

  C.J. Cregg : Yeah.

  Leo McGarry : Show me what you're starting with.

  C.J. Cregg : Yeah.
