Abby Whelan : [lecturing the president] If you allow Cyrus to depart amicably, if you accept his resignation, he's safe. He can decide to work for Vargas after leaving the White House. You neutralize him, you keep the optics in your favor. You win. And you don't have to spend a single second looking for a new chief of staff. I'm right here, I'm exceedingly qualified, I will raise my sword, run at the enemy, and fight the good fight every single day. I will be the best West Wing general you've ever wished for and the scariest monster you never knew you needed. I'm loyal, I'm tough, and I'm not afraid to tell you when you're wrong, and you are wrong right now. Because it is easy, Mr. President. Fire him. Hire me.
President Fitzgerald Grant : Let me know when it's done.
Abby Whelan : Yes, Mr. President. When *what* is done?
President Fitzgerald Grant : When you fire him.
Abby Whelan : You want *me* to fire Cyrus?
President Fitzgerald Grant : You want the job? That's the job.
Abby Whelan : I'll let you know when it's done, sir.
