Leo chiede a Josh
Josh : And what stupid-ass Irish thing did you say to Karen Cahill that you now need me to apologize at Ben and Sally’s like a little girl?… Let me tell you what was surprising about that moment just then. I said that only 12 hours after you were very cool about my almost accidentally setting the building on fire.
Leo : I made a joke about her shoes.
Donna chiede a Sam
Sam : I don’t do well with Karen.
Donna : Why?
Sam : I get nervous.
Donna : What happens?
Sam : I become unimpressive.
…
Donna : You don’t fall down, do you?
Sam : Once.
Sam si accorge dell’errore
Donna : Did you fall down at all?
Sam : I did not. In fact, we were talking about the stability of former Soviet Republics and their fear of Islamic extremism and I have to say that I made some very scholarly points regarding the remains of nuclear weapons in Kyrgyzstan, and I have to believe…
Josh : Khazakhstan… The nuclear weapons are in Khazakhstan.
Sam : I said Kyrgyzstan? Yeah, well, Kyrgyzstan has no nuclear weapons. Khazakhstan is a country four times the size of Texas and has a sizable number of former Russian missile silos. Kyrgyzstan is on the side of a hill near China and has mostly nomads and sheep.
Sam entra nel panico e chiede a Donna
Sam : I said the wrong one.
Donna : Maybe not.
…
Sam : It was Karen Cahill. If there was a 99 out of a 100 chance of saying the right one, I said the wrong one. Yes. Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna go up to her, ‘Hi, I’m Donna Moss. I don’t know if you remember me. I’m Josh Lyman’s assistant.’ You just had to come up to her ‘cause you knew she’d get a kick out of this. ‘Sam Seaborn is being so cute. He was talking to you and he thinks he may have said Kyrgyzstan when he obviously meant Kazakhstan.’
Donna: Sam Seaborn’s being so cute?
Sam: It’d kill you?
Donna: No.
Sam: Thank you.
Josh riceve il pacchetto con gli slip
Donna: Josh, this was delivered by messenger.
Josh: What is it?
Donna: It’s… wait… wait… no. Damn, my x-ray vision is failing me today.
CJ chiede spiegazioni sulla questione degli slip
Josh: You had a lot of opportunities today to say I told you so, score some points with Leo. You’re a class act.
C.J.: Why were you holding women’s underwear before?
Josh: Never really needed a reason.
Il presidente cerca di capire l’accaduto
Bartlet : Donna wants me to call Karen Cahill and make it clear she wasn’t hitting on her when she gave her her underwear.
Leo : Yeah, that’s because I made fun of her shoes and Sam said there were nuclear weapons in Kyrgyzstan and Donna went to clear up the mix up and accidentally left her underwear.
Bartlet : There can’t possibly be nuclear weapons in Kyrgyzstan.
Leo : Mr. President, please don’t wade hip deep into this story.
