All the President's men and women must keep track of several crises on the day of Bartlet's town hall meeting at the Newseum. An American jet is shot down over the Iraqi no-fly zone, and CJ misleads the press to buy some time. Josh carbs up for a meeting with the Vice President during his daily jog to get his former boss to back the President. A nervous Toby asks Sam to keep track of an ailing space shuttle that has Toby's brother and his astronewts on board. Charlie tentatively contributes to the President's preparation and is jazzed when Bartlet uses the material. On the way out to the motorcade, chaos breaks out when gunfire rains down on the President and his entourage, leaving the Secret Service Agents shouting, "Who's been hit?"

Bartlet:  When you said 'girls' softball game,' you snickered. 

Charlie:  No, sir. 

Bartlet:  Yes, you snickered. As if to indicate there was something wrong with my wanting to see a girls’ softball game live via satellite.

Charlie:  Well, you seem pretty excited by it, sir. 

Josh:  Did you get me the meeting with the Vice President? 

Donna:  I did, but you’re not going to be happy. 

Josh:  Jogging.

Donna:  Yeah. 

Josh:  We couldn’t really, this time, just sit in chairs? 

Leo:  There was a problem a few months ago with India/Pakistan, you were uncomfortable-- 

CJ:  Leo.

Leo:  You were uncomfortable lying to the press--

CJ:  I wasn’t lying to the press about India/Pakistan, I was lied to by you, which made me look like an idiot. 

Josh:  Three-quarters of all soft money coming to the Democratic party isn’t coming from labor unions, it’s coming from corporations. 

Hoynes:  Yes, I know. 

Josh:  Over a hundred businesses gave both parties in excess of $125,000 in the last election. 

Hoynes:  I know. 

Josh:  They gave it to both parties! This isn’t free speech or political values, Mr. Vice President. I don’t know how we’ve done it, but we’ve legalized bribery. 

Hoynes:  Yup. 

Josh:  So, now what we’ve got is two corporate parties: one pro-life, one pro-choice.

Leo:  Now, you did good today. I’m just saying that there’s a way to be a person. 

Josh:  I apologize. 

Leo:  Your apology’s accepted.  What are you doing? 

Josh:  It looked like you wanted to hug me. 

Leo:  Oh, man, did you read that wrong. 

CJ:  I have to congratulate you, Carol. I was afraid I was going to see Saudi Arabia spelled 
with a ‘Y.' 

Carol:  CJ, I’m a much better speller than you give me credit for. 

CJ:  Yes. One 'L' in Tel Aviv. 

Carol:  Okay. 

Bartlet:  You’re not going to spoil my good time for me, Mrs. Landingham. 

Mrs. Landingham:  Oh, sir, I think we both know from experience that’s not true. 

Bartlet:  Yeah. 

Mrs. Landingham:  You needed to be in the car ten minutes ago, Mr. President. 

Bartlet:  Do you see me walking out the door?

Mrs. Landingham:  No, I see you standing and arguing with a senior citizen. 

"Oh, God, we've got people down!"

"People down, people down!"

"Who's been hit? Who's been hit?"
