Richard Schiff: Toby Ziegler

Quotes 

• Toby Ziegler : We're a group. We're a team. From the President and Leo on through, we're a team. We win together, we lose together. We celebrate and we mourn together. And defeats are softened and victories sweeter because we did them together... You're my guys and I'm yours... and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

• Toby Ziegler : You're a good deputy, Sam.

  Sam Seaborn : What do you mean?

  Toby Ziegler : That.

  Sam Seaborn : You won money on football today, didn't you?

  Toby Ziegler : Yeah, but I mean it anyway.

• Toby Ziegler : This is the Legal Tender... Huckleberry Bill?

  Sam Seaborn : Modernization Bill, yeah.

  Toby Ziegler : We can't support it 'cause it'll never get to the floor.

  Sam Seaborn : Why not?

  Toby Ziegler : Where's the Speaker of the House from?

  Sam Seaborn : He's from Illinois, which, by the way, is the only state where you can put pennies in a toll machine. Why is that, do you suppose?

  Toby Ziegler : It's because...

  Sam Seaborn : [realizing]  It's 'cause Lincoln's from Illinois! And... so is the Speaker.

  Toby Ziegler : Yes.

  Sam Seaborn : Well, that's a good reason. Well, it's a dumb reason, but it's good enough, right?
