JOSH LYMAN AND DONNA MOSS THE WEST WING

• “I’m not a big fan of flying or children”
• “Well, you’re off the hook, or off the wall, I should say for now”
• “June: I just need to know if my husband is safe” Commander Lawrence: “I don’t know. Does he use a seat belt? Does he watch his blood pressure? That’s the silent killer, you know”
• “Speaking of the Waterfords, you really mucked up that house, didn’t you? Fred demoted. Serena defingered. Baby baby-napped. You left the place literally in ashes. Do you think they got what they deserved?”
• “You have to let the rabble-rousers blow off a little steam or they’ll smash everything to bits”
• “Does this really work on Fred? Not exactly an intellectual giant. Then again, neither are you”
• “Oh that’s cute. Would your heart glow or something?”
• “THOUGHTS?!”
• “AND HELLO CANADA!”
• Emily: “Praise be to you, and may God make me worthy.” Lawrence: “Super”
• “He’s not a used Subaru”
• “I wonder what the voltage is on those things”
• “I guess he didn’t bring 52 children with him “
• “Wow, you’ve gone soft in Toronto. Must be all that maple syrup.”
• “Go in grace”
• “We just want our brother home”
• “Cheer up. Fred and Serena are toast and you just got away with murder. All in all, not a bad morning.”
• “Oh, well he’s a toady with no taste.”
• “Did you do something to your hair?”
• “I guess he doesn’t like music.”
• “I guess he’s got us over a barrel”
• “Are you gonna sit in the bed with us too? Because that would definitely make things more interesting.”
• “Your love f***s people up. You’re a fountain of heartache and trouble”
• “You’re an unusual woman, and we don’t have the proper infrastructure for unusual women to live within our borders”
• “These are pious men. They need a little kink”
• “Oh, you’d love it. It’s elegant yet brutal”
• “America is dying. It’s an idea that has outlived its usefulness”
• “Can’t we all agree, gentlemen, that it’s embarrassing to be running a country in which people are constantly trying to escape?”
• “You mean go to the Red Center, kind of Handmaid’s Hotel, where you’re the concierge?”
• Commander Lawrence: “I got them to say yes.” Serena: “How?” Commander Lawrence: “By not being a woman.”
• “I’m just one commander. Nick’s on the rise, but he’s still a puppy. There’s only so much we can do.”
• “Oh, look at us all, getting along like friendly diplomats, trying to bury the hatchet.”
• “Commander Lawrence: If I object will it make a difference?” Nick: “No, sir. At the border, the Eyes maintain tactical control.” Commander Lawrence: “Oh, he seems to have us over a barrel. Go in grace, Fred.”
• “Fred, praise be. You’re home safe. The nation’s prayers have been answered.”
• “Your love fucks people up. You’re a fountain of heartache and trouble.”
• Commander Lawrence: “To what do I owe the pleasure?” Aunt Lydia: “I believe I can be of service to you.” Commander Lawrence: “Lucky me.”
• “Gilead doesn’t care about children. Gilead cares about power. Faithfulness, old-time values, homemade bread, that’s the just means to the end. It’s a distraction. I thought you would have figured that out by now.”
• “You’re going to single-handedly repopulate the planet”
• “Motherhood’s always been an evolutionary puzzle to me.”
• “We’d never leave a brother out in the cold”
• “Well, she isn’t stupid, but she is stubborn, which I guess is a form of stupidity. Perhaps, it’s the most virulent form.”
• “I always took you for more of the Jezebel’s man less of the quickie behind a desk before a funeral kind of guy”
• “I have been grooming Nick, not sexually, but he is helping me.”
• “And now I’m done talking about your breasts.”
• “Do you have an irony deficiency?”
• “Gilead’s gonna Gilead”
• “I know you enjoy inflicting pain. I’m not judging, everybody needs a hobby.”
• “Cake? Gentlemen”
