with her sister. With her sis, Beth. She also often borrowed her clothes. The first time Andy called Sydney on the phone, she was in Beth's apt. dicussing her first day at the White House. At first, Sydney thought it was a friend disguising his voice.
Richard Dreyfuss . He also starred in 'Mr. Holland's Opus' and 'What About Bob?', with Bill Murray. Both very good movies.
...and I'm running for president.. The president, after repeatedly hearing that line, 'I'm glad he cleared that up, those people were ready to buy some Amway products!'

China Room . Andy referred to it as 'the dish room.' The kiss was terribly brief, as first kisses go. They were interrupted by a secret service agent advising the president of a secure call. The Libyans bombed C-STAD and ruined their romantic moment. Dang, that happens to me all the time too!

Hail to the Chief. She may not like social studies, but she can sure toot that horn.
a ham. "Dig it Miss Wade. You're the President's girlfriend."
