Almost half the time, though, Leo's three doors are closed, which is more often than the Oval Office door.

- "They like to win. Then they like to gloat." --- Mandy (mainly meaning Josh) [#102]
- "You guys are like family. You've always been there for me. Always been loyal, honest, hard working good people. And I love you all very much and I don't say that often enough." --- the President to the staff after having taken too much medication for his back. [#104]

- "I can't remember the last time I got home before midnight." [#13] C.J. but everyone else demonstrates the same thing.
- "Nothing like surrounding yourself with the best and the brightest" --- the President, sarcastically, when he's told the staff didn't know it was raining [#19].
