    [Bartlet And Leo Are On Their Way To A Meeting With Babish]
    Leo: You're scared of Babish.
    Bartlet: Oh, like you're not.
    Leo: No, because we are both men of Chicago.
    Bartlet: What is it with people from Chicago that they're so happy to have been born there? I meet so many people who can't wait to tell me they're from Chicago and when I meet them, they're living anywhere but Chicago.

    Leo: You wouldn't understand.

    —Paul Reiser

    "Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky, brawling, City of the Big Shoulders . . . "
