Trivia:

Sam and Toby walk into a Connecticut police station to spring their Supreme Court nominee. When they introduce themselves as presidential aides, the duty officers don't believe them until the senior man recognizes Toby from a picture, with the President in the Oval Office, that appeared in that day's paper. Three seasons later, in the Christmas episode "Holy Night", we see Toby's father, Julie Ziegler, admiring the same front page that has found its way into a frame and onto the wall in Toby's office.

Quotes:

Josh Lyman: [Toby has phoned Josh to tell him that he and Sam are lost] Toby, how hard can it be to find the Wesley police station?
Toby Ziegler: I don't know, Josh, but while we're looking, can you tell me a little more about the President's secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh Lyman: [brief pause] How long before you let up on me on that?
Toby Ziegler: Oh, it's gonna take a little while, I would think.
