The West Wing - Dead Irish Writers, 3x16
as requested by harriethayes and sonni89

“The First Lady just asked me to get boozy with her. You don’t think I want to write a book one day?”

MARBURY: You’re making the mistake of youth.

TOBY: The President’s not a kid.

MARBURY: Your country is. You’re involving yourself in a centuries-old conflict without sufficient regard for history. Listen to the warning of old friends. It was Kipling who warned to expect “the blame of those ye better, and the hate of those ye guard.”

TOBY: And wasn’t it James Joyce who said, “History is a nightmare from which I’m trying to awake.”

MARBURY: Yes, but it was your own great Irish master, Eugene O’Neill who said, “There is no present or future, only the past happening over and over again — now.”

“Look, they take this job away from me, I got nothing. I don’t have a cat. I could get one, but I don’t have one. Frankly, I’m not wild about cats. I don’t hate them. I’m just not… I could learn to like them, I guess.”

30 DAYS OF THE WEST WING: Day 13 - A scene that makes you laugh

JOSH: Donna, you’re an American again. INS has a grandfather clause. If you pass a three-part literacy test, an American history exam, and fill out a one-page form, you’re back.

DONNA: My adopted country.

ABBEY: Oh, Josh, I kind of wished you’d mentioned this before.

JOSH: Why?

“O, Canada” begins to play and everyone turns to see the Canadian flags unfurled. 

DONNA: Wow.

ABBEY: You were very good in there, Donna.

BARTLET: What the hell is going on?!

ABBEY: Shh.

BARTLET: I was gone for 45 minutes. They were all Americans when I left.

DONNA: I know exactly how you feel, Mr. President.

Donna: Oh, Mrs. Bartlet, for crying out loud, you were also a doctor when your husband said, “Give me the drugs, and don’t tell anybody,” and you said, “Okay.” 
[An uncomfortable silence fills the room. Everyone looks at Donna.] 
Oh, my God. You switched back to First Lady.
