It's Toby's Day of Jubilee when Justice Roberto Mendoza is confirmed to the Supreme Court. His celebratory mood doesn't last long, however, when Mandy comes to him for panda bear advice. Zoey's friend is busted for drugs at a party, and she lies about it when confronted by a "professional Bartlet-baiter." As a result, CJ has to get in the President's face to keep it from becoming a story. Leo provides daughter Mallory with a position paper Sam wrote in support of school vouchers, which puts a crimp in their plans for a first date. And although Josh is a white guy from Connecticut, Leo decides he's the person to shepherd the administration's nominee for assistant attorney general for civil rights through the process -- and tackle the issue of slavery reparations with the black lawyer. Oh, and CJ does The Jackal.

Toby:  Because there's a little thing called what, Bonnie?

Bonnie:  Tempting fate.

Toby:  Tempting fate is what it's called.  In the three months this man has been on my radar screen, I have aged 48 years. This is my Day of Jubilee and I will not have it screwed up by what, Bonnie?

Bonnie:  By tempting fate.

Toby:  By tempting fate.  These things take patience.  These things take skill.  These things take luck.  In the 15 months we've been in office, what kind of luck have we had, Ginger?

Ginger:  Bad luck.

Toby:  What kind of luck?

Ginger:  Very bad luck.

Josh:  A panda's what I think it is, right?

Donna:  Yes.

Josh:  Little Australian thing, eats the bark off the koala tree.

Donna:  That's a koala bear I believe you're describing.

Sam:  It's my Day of Jubilee.

Mallory:  I despise you and everything you stand for.

Sam:  All right, my day was a little bit better a few seconds ago, but okay.

Josh:  Leo, I'm a white guy from Connecticut.

Leo:  We've met, Josh.

Josh:  I'm saying, isn't this kind of a delicate subject for me to get into with a black civil rights lawyer from Athens, Georgia?

Leo:  Remember, you're also Jewish.

Josh:  Then he's sure to love me.

Toby:  You, on the other hand, should turn that frown upside-down.

Margaret:  Excuse me?

Toby:  Let a smile be your umbrella.

Margaret:  Okay, now you're scaring the crap out of me, Toby.

Toby:  I am smiling, I am laughing, I am enjoying the people I work with.  I've got to snap out of this.  What's on your mind?

Mandy:  I want you to help me get the Chinese to give us a new Panda bear to replace Lum Lum.

Toby:  Well, that did the trick.

Zoey:  You could've kissed me hello, you know.

Charlie:  That's what your dorm room is for.

Zoey:  Chicken.

Charlie:  You better believe it.  When I kiss you, I want there to be a good two, three miles between your mouth and the Oval Office.
