Thanks, Rachel.

I'm going back to The West Wing.


Leo McGarry: Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House had a big block of cheese.
Toby Ziegler: Huh.
Leo McGarry: I am making a mental list of those who are snickering, and even as I speak I am preparing appropriate retribution. The block of cheese was huge - over two tons. And it was there for any and all who might be hungry.
Toby Ziegler: Leo, wouldn't this time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can't possibly defend itself against us?
Leo McGarry: We can do that later, Toby. Right now I'm talking about President Andrew Jackson.
Sam Seaborn: Actually, right now, you're talking about a big block of cheese.
Leo McGarry: And Sam goes on my list!
Sam Seaborn: And what about Toby?
Leo McGarry: I'm unpredictable. Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience.
Mandy Hampton: And then he locked the doors behind them and made them eat two tons of cheese.
