There are Mysteries worth Solving and Stories worth Telling




"....There are Mysteries 
worth solving and 
Stories worth telling.

 
The Best and Bravest 
Man I know – and on 
top of that he actually 
knows How to Do Stuff.

(John lowers his head and 
chuckles with embarrassment.)

... except Wedding-
planning and serviettes – 
he’s rubbish at those --"




Merry Christmas, Leo McGarry | The West Wing


A recent college graduate, 
Aaron Sorkin was working as 
a bartender at NY Broadway 
shows, and wrote 
A Few Good Men 
entirely on cocktail napkins 
during Act 1 of 
"La Cage Aux Folles."

According to Sorkin, "...you work 
during the walk-in, and 
you work during intermission
But you're not doing anything 
during the first act, and there's 
an unlimited supply 
of cocktail napkins."
