Leo McGarry : That's because you think it has something to do with smart and stupid. Do you have any idea how many alcoholics are in Mensa? You think it's a lack of willpower? That's like thinking somebody with anorexia nervosa has an overdeveloped sense of vanity...

Leo McGarry : Don't help me.
Josh Lyman : I'm going to help you, 'cause you know why?
Leo McGarry : 'Cause you walk around with so much guilt about everybody you love dying that you're a compulsive fixer?
Josh Lyman : No, Leo, no. It's 'cause a guy is walking down the street and he falls into a hole, see.
Leo McGarry : Yeah.
Josh Lyman : Yeah.

Atty. Jordon Kendall : You had a drink?
Leo McGarry : I'm an alcoholic, I don't have one drink. I don't understand people who have one drink. I don't understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don't understand people who say they've had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer? My brain works differently.
