Josh Lyman : Why would the music have started it?
Stanley Keworth : Well, I know it's going to sound like I'm telling you that two plus two equals a bushel of potatoes, but at this moment, in your head, music is the same thing as...
Josh Lyman : ...as sirens. So that's going to be my reaction every time I hear music?
Stanley Keworth : No.
Josh Lyman : Why not?
Stanley Keworth : Because... we get better.

Stanley Keworth : Let's start again.
Josh Lyman : You gonna lie to me this time?
Stanley Keworth : No. You gonna lie to me?
Josh Lyman : Haven't yet.
Stanley Keworth : Really?
Josh Lyman : Yeah.
Stanley Keworth : How'd you cut your hand?
Josh Lyman : [thinks about the question, but doesn't respond]
Stanley Keworth : You're not talking to the paperboy either, Josh.
-
Stanley Keworth : [Prompting him] Josh.
Josh Lyman : I was fine.
Stanley Keworth : [Not believing] Josh.
Josh Lyman : It was the Bach, G Major.
Stanley Keworth : That's a nice piece.
Josh Lyman : It is.
Stanley Keworth : Did he play it well?
Josh Lyman : It's Yo-Yo Ma.

Josh Lyman : You diagnosed me in eight hours?
Stanley Keworth : Josh, I diagnosed you in five minutes.

Dr. Stanley Keyworth : No, I don't, Josh. The last thing I want you to do is talk about your feelings. I think if you heard a tape recording of this day, you wouldn't hear the word 'feelings.' What we need to be able to get you to do is to remember the shooting without reliving it. And you have been reliving it.
-
Josh Lyman : All the same, I need some more therapy.
Stanley Keworth : Oh, you're gonna get some.
Josh Lyman : I mean now!
Stanley Keworth : [making his way out] Merry Christmas, Josh.
Josh Lyman : We could order pizza.
Stanley Keworth : [chuckles] Have a good night.
Josh Lyman : Stanley, I haven't told you my dreams yet!
Stanley Keworth : [now down the hall] Fax 'em over to me.
-
Josh Lyman : You're not going to understand it.
Stanley Keworth : I'm a fairly well-educated guy.

Josh Lyman : I couldn't make it stop...
