1.7 - The State Dinner

Episode Number - 107
Original Airdate - November 10, 1999
Written by - Aaron Sorkin and Paul Redford
Directed by - Thomas Schlamme


As a night's stylish state dinner honouring the Indonesian president looms in the background, President Bartlet keeps his eye on a spate of potentially explosive problems: an FBI hostage standoff with dozens of militant survivalists, a Class-4 hurricane bearing down on a carrier group at sea and an impending national trucker's strike. Behind the scenes, the gracious First Lady (Stockard Channing) prepares to host the dinner, Danny continues to flirt with CJ, Josh and Toby corner an Indonesian government official to ask a favour, and a surprised Sam spies his call girl friend Laurie (Lisa Edelstein) at the event.

Quotes
CJ: "So let me see if I have this: a hurricane has picked up speed and power and is heading for Georgia, management and labour are coming here to work out a settlement to avoid a crippling strike that'll begin at midnight tonight, and the government is planning a siege on eighteen-forty of its citizens all the while we hold a state dinner for the President of Indonesia."
Josh and Toby: "Yeah."
Sam: "You got it."
CJ: "Amazingly, you know what I'll get asked most often today?"
Toby: "What?"
CJ: (to a reporter) "Sandra?"
Sandra: "I'm sorry, CJ..."
CJ: "Black suede and velvet with monolo Blahnik slides with a rhinestone and mother of pearl toe buckle."
Sandra: "Thanks."
CJ: "No problem."

Sam: (To Josh) "We look good, don't we?"
Mandy: "Do you guys want to be alone?"
