Quotes 

• Leo McGarry : Why did it happen? Why did the natural dam break?

  Josh Lyman : The natural dam was part of a glacier, and the glacier melted.

  Leo McGarry : The glacier melted?

  Josh Lyman : It did.

  Leo McGarry : Glaciers melt once every 100 million years.This one melted today?

  Josh Lyman : I don't know about geology. I think it's been melting for a long time. But, yeah, 3:45 a.m. was the straw that broke the camel's back.

  Leo McGarry : All right.

  Josh Lyman : Thank you.

  Leo McGarry : You don't wanna stand here and reflect that a glacier melted this morning?

  Josh Lyman : Well, I would, Leo but a glacier melted this morning. So at this point, Americans are simply trying to outrun it.
