Senator Adar: So, there he was, on his deathbed, 50 years to the day, 50 years since the signing of the Declaration, July 4th, Independence Day. There he is, on his deathbed...
Bartlet : Which one are you with now, Senator Adar? Jefferson?
Adar: Adams. But of course both of them were dying on the same 4th of July, that's what's so amazing.
Bartlet: Ahh.
Adar: 50 years since that day in Independence Hall, immortalized in Trumball's famous painting of the scene. Two great giants dying on their country's birthday, after years of friendship and feuding. [pause] As diplomats in Paris...
Bartlet: Excuse me. I'm sorry, Senator. This will only take a second. *leaves Oval Office and heads to Debbie's desk* Debbie, you were supposed to interrupt after five minutes.
Debbie: It's only been three, sir.
