Did Sorkin literally plagiarise his own line in this movie?

Sorkins dialogue annoys me. Correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I haven't seen everything from the man, but it's like everyone is a mouthpiece, always have clever things to say that feel well thought out, and most of his characters repeat the same expressions. At least that's my limited view of Sorkins work.

I was being flippant and hyperbolic. Of course you can't plagiarize yourself.
