- The American version of The Office sucks, of course. I'm not even trying to hear "Don't go into it with any expectations of it being as good as the British version." wtf? Ricky...come back to us.
- I wish I could live my life in the last five minutes of a really good West Wing episode.
- I never understood the allure of Leah Thompson. The woman has no upper lip.
- Additionally, his stint on Once and Again as the hot, conflicted "Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy" drama coach notwithstanding, Eric Stoltz never looked as good as he did in Some Kind of Wonderful.
- Where are you, Knox Overstreet? Time is a'wasting.

The allure of Leah Thompson in 2 words-
Juggs.
That's one word about 2 things, but whatev.

Steve Corell is funny...can't get around that. Its gonna happen. This show will be funny because he makes things funny. I laugh every time I see that commercial, and hear him say "incalcuable", then give that look of innocence. He was also classic in Bruce Almighty.
To Danielle, I present the best least 5 minutes of a West Wing Episode...enjoy.

Uh, excuse me! Thank you. Uh, friends, please... Well, chili’s ready and I hope
you all enjoy it. In fact, since I told you you would enjoy it, I’m reasonably
certain that you will.
Laughter.

You know, of course, the first lady’s in Pakistan. [starts to walk around the room]
I’m not entirely sure why, but I have learned it’s a pretty good idea not to ask my
wife too many questions as it seldom leads to anything but further confusion. I miss
her very much, but I’m delighted our beautiful daughter, Zoey is here. You know,
she’s starting Georgetown in the spring.
Everyone claps their hand for Zoey.

This, prior to medical school and a life of celibacy.

Yeah, right!

It’s an incredible adventure you’re starting on, sweetheart. An amazing four years
full of people and experiences you haven’t yet dreamed of. And if you will allow me
just one minute of business, please. I hope that by the time we’re done with our
four years here, we’ll have seen to it that every young person who chooses can go
to college and beyond, regardless of their economic status.
Applause.

I understand that today was another one of Leo’s “big block of cheese” days!
You all start out so cynical, but it never fails. By the end of the day, there’s
always one or two converts, right? And today was no exception. C.J. Cregg is gonna
be up all night writing a position paper for the interior department on the
necessity of wildlife protection. [C.J. laughs.] C.J., I don’t mind the cost of
this wolves-only highway. It’s the segregation. The ACLU is gonna file a petition
on behalf of some reindeer and then we’re all screwed.
Everyone laughs.

Sam Seaborn had a guy who spotted a UFO today, am I right? Sam laughed him out of
his office, but you’ve been thinking about it ever since. But you can rest assured,
Sam. It was not a spaceship from another planet, just another time. A long since
abandoned Soviet satellite, one of its booster rockets didn’t fire and it couldn’t
escape the earth’s orbit--a sad reminder of a time when two powerful nations
challenged each other and then boldly raced into outer space. [beat]
What will be the next thing that challenges us, Toby? [looks at Toby] That makes
us work harder and go farther? You know, when smallpox was eradicated, it was
considered the single greatest humanitarian achievement of this century. Surely,
we can do it again. As we did in the time when our eyes looked towards the heavens,
and with outstretched fingers, we touched the face of God. [beat] Here’s to absent
friends, and the ones that are here now. [holds up his glass of wine]
STAFF
Cheers!
Everyone in the room hold up their glasses in unison.
DISSOLVE TO: END CREDITS.
FADE TO BLACK.
THE END
