Mollory to Sam: "You are so incredibly like him." Sam: "That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me."

I love that best friends Bartlett and Leo are both utterly flummoxed by their daughters. Like, every time.

The next few lines make the end of the scene: MALLORY Thank you, sir. BARTLET Are you blowing me off? MALLORY Yes, sir. BARTLET Okay.

I really wish they'd done more with Sam & Mallory, romantic or not. They both played off each other so well and had great chemistry.

Plus when Sam first meets Mallory and he somehow thinks one of the little girls in the class is Leo’s daughter and actually Mallory is the teacher 😂👍

"Like what?" "Let's stay away from that." "Best that we do."

I really liked Sam and Mallory's banter back and forth.

Literally could not love this show any more than I already do.

Interesting that the principle that the President of the United States is subject to the same laws and penalties as everyone else - as opposed to being completely immune from prosecution for breaking said laws - was considered so obvious at one point that it was the basis of a throwaway line in a comedy plot of a TV episode! Someone should play this clip to today's US Supreme Court!

It must be so annoying sometimes to have Sam Seaborn, possibly the World's Handsomest Man, as a subordinate and surrogate son.

The part about this that I always found strange is why Mallory would say that it's not a date because there'd be no sex. She does know... that's not the only thing that constitutes a date right???

Best show ever made

Leo and even the President are wrong on this one. Yes this is a job that leaves nothing for leisure time, that said Sam did have the evening off. It's not that something of actual importance came up, it's that Leo gave this assignment to Sam not because he was best suited for it, but just to mess with him (and by extension, her). So Leo's objective was "you can't go" not "you need to do this assignment". The actually important meetings Leo's had on his schedule are irrelevant.

Here's a good point. Perhaps everyone should give their dad a break. I wish I had. Now it's too late.

God I used to crush so hard on Mallory 🤩

Fathers of daughters have to stick together. Any guy dating a daughter better get that father on their side, especially if the father is his boss, or his bosses boss.

I wish Mallory had a bigger part.

for someone who said "no sex' she sure chose a dress that might suggest otherwise lol

She was so hot and then dropped her from the show just like that.

I wanted Sam and Mallory to end up together. I don’t think they did if I recall correctly.

She should have told her father, "I told Sam there would be no sex. Now, there will be sex tonight, tomorrow, all next week, next weekend and maybe for the next month. Don't mess with me, again."

A Monday night opera performance?

God Mallory was unbearable as a character so boring
