Oh, and Leon, don't be the nice, sweet guy from Brooklyn on this one. Do what the NRA does.
Leon Kodak
What, scare the shit out of them?
A. J. MacInerney
Exactly.
Leon Kodak
I can do that.
Last night, the cost of those liberal programs was raised to include the blood of 22 American soldiers. Now, Mr. Shepherd's read a lot of books, but you don't need a Harvard degree to see this one coming a mile down the road.
President Andrew Shepherd
I went to STANFORD, you blowhole!!!
President Andrew Shepherd
What I did tonight was not about political gain.
Leon Kodak
Yes sir. But it can be, sir. What you did tonight was very presidential.
President Andrew Shepherd
Leon, somewhere in Libya right now, a janitor's working the night shift at Libyan Intelligence headquarters. He's going about doing his job... because he has no idea that in about an hour he's going to die in a massive explosion. He's just going about his job, because he has no idea that about an hour ago I gave an order to have him killed. You've just seen me do the least presidential thing I do.

Mood swings? Nineteen post-graduate degrees in mathematics, and your best explanation for going from a 63 to a 46 percent approval rating in five weeks is that the country is having mood swings?
Leon Kodak
Well, I could explain it better, but then I'd need charts, and graphs, and an easel.
Robin McCall
Guys, we haven't slept for three years. Can't we take this night off and enjoy each other as friends? It's Christmas.
Lewis Rothschild
It's Christmas?
Leon Kodak
You didn't get the memo?
Lewis Rothschild
Yeah, just vote your conscience, you chicken-shit lame-ass! [hangs up] We lost Jarrett.
Leon Kodak
Well, I hope so, because, you know, if that was an "undecided", then we need to work on our people skills.
