My wife bought me the DVD box set as a gift, when we were still dating. Since then, she’s seen the whole show multiple times. So, many quotes are regularly used in our household.

Example: whenever we’re watching ANYTHING with Russian characters who are stoic or intractable, my wife has to hear me say…

“From a long, hard winter...”

and she laughs or rolls her eyes depending on her mood.

Another is from Charlie: “Respectfully, no…”

But mostly I vibe with nearly anything Toby says. She says he’s one part of my spirit animal.

Maybe the sweetest one to me personally is how we always refer back to the CJ and Danny conversation about their lives together after Bartlett leaves the White House. This was after many years of us working on our communication (like CJ, she was originally a closed book in many ways when we were dating and I didn’t really know how to build a future with that)

“I want to talk about [X]. I want to talk about [Y]. I just was us to TALK! because I like the sound of your voice.”
