Goofs:

Continuity: When Charlie interrupts Mrs. Bartlet reviewing the State of the Union on a recording, the last line heard from the speech talks about the "blue ribbon panel". When Charlie leaves and Abby resumes the recording, we hear President Bartlet repeat that same line again even though Abby had not rewound the recording.

Quotes:

Josh Lyman: Joey? Can I ask you what may be a silly question?
Joey Lucas: Sure.
Josh Lyman: It's not possible, is it, for us to just open up one of these computers with a screwdriver and get the numbers that are in there, right?
Joey Lucas: Why did you think that'd be a silly question?
