“I am Vindicated.
\nI am Selfish.
\nI am Wrong.
\nI am Right.
\nI swear I’m Right
\nI swear I knew it all along.<\/p>\n
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well.
\nI am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself.<\/b>”

A scene from a near final, if not actually final, west wing episode that I haven’t seen in full yet:
\nToby: “You didn’t pick him up in a bar last Thursday, you’ve been close for eight years.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “That doesn’t mean it magically falls into place once we take the leap…. What? I’m not resisting.” <\/p>\n
Toby: “You’re not?”<\/p>\n
CJ: “I’m not one of those women who can’t handle a good thing when it’s standing in front of them.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Good.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Why don’t you sound convinced?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “You spend your whole life working for powerful, demanding men 24\/7, that’s a lot of testosterone in your world.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Which has what to do with anything?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Well, maybe you didn’t need to date – you had Josh and Sam and me… and 180 reporters flirting with you day in and day out.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Come on.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “It’s a lot of positive male attention. Now you’re slotting in Matt Santos, maybe Frank Hollis.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “So, what, you think this all some sort of Freudian temper tantrum?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “You showed up here at eight o’clock at night with a bottle of wine asking me about a pardon we both know is out of the question, telling me about a man who’s crowding you. I think a lot of things.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “You think I came here to take advantage of you before they cart you off to the big house?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “I think you don’t know why you came here. You’re a woman with a lot of options. You’re acting like the world’s backing you into a corner, bouncing from one thing to the next – from Bartlet to Santos, to Danny, to me. Maybe you should stop bouncing, pick something. What do you want?”<\/p>\n
CJ: “I don’t know….<\/b> I’d like to learn how to make a chicken like that.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Stick a lemon up it and throw on some rosemary.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Yeah?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Yeah, a little salt.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “I’d like to learn how to ski. I think would be soothing. Be a ski bum. Operate the ski chair for 6 months, clear my head.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “It’s a chair lift.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Well, first I’d learn the lingo, take it from there.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “I missed you.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Yeah. We had it good there for a while.”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Yeah, we did… You should go.” <\/p>\n
CJ: “You kicking me out?”<\/p>\n
Toby: “Yeah.”<\/p>\n
CJ: “Okay.”<\/p>\n
