I love the little detail of Toby not noticing because he looked at what they'd actually done... but because he noticed the unused card.
i thought it was because they mentioned, "president" a few seconds before, and human nature being what it is, he began to look for where the president was--like, "don't think about an elephant"
The end of that cold open is one of my favourites. It's right up there with ”Ginger, get the popcorn” 😂
I sense that Sorkin came up with that punchline first and then wrote the cold open around it. Brilliant stuff.
Some of the smartest people I know are the dumbest people I know
"Mr President, you know when you told me not to wake you up unless the building was on fire?"
Poor Charlie. Barlet's staff does NOT make it easy for him. Heh.
I think Charlie was looking for any reason to troll his surrogate father
One of the best lines
I like that both scenes are about very smart people making very dumb mistakes
That’s a pretty good description of the whole show.
This scene just proves that the entire senior staff are occasionally, humanly dumb, and that makes them adorable.
The look of utter disdain on Charlies face at 4:27.
The Sorkin years are basically a screwball comedy
"You're like a '50s screwball-"
Fun fact: in the season one episode “Six Meetings Before Lunch,” there is a fire in this fireplace.
The look on Donna's face at 3:35 gets me every time.
For a drama series, "The West Wing" had moments of comic brilliance and this was one of them. Expertly written and played to perfection.
We have CJ and the team painstakingly arranging the seating of everyone and forgetting the President.
We have Josh and Sam trying to get a fire going with disastrous results.
Donna is the connecting factor running back and forth between the two and Charlie's comment at the end when waking an annoyed Bartlet is icing on the cake.....
“Yeah, I don’t think she’s getting the leaves.” 🍁 🍂 😂😂
I think the channel editor is getting the hang of punch lines now.
Josh’s reaction to the smoke alarm 😂
“You’re not using lighter fluid or anything are you?”
“Nooo! No flammable liquids to start a fire, ever!”
“Got it!”
“What?”
“Kerosine!”
I LOVE this show!
Yay! One of my favourite openings!
Every time I watch this scene I expect Lucy and Ethel to pop out somewhere.
"SOMEBODY started a fire in this fireplace, Charlie."
‘Wait for it”😁😁😁
Continuity issue. In season one Episode 18 there is a nice fire going in this room with no problem.
Why wasn't the heating working?
You had to cut the clip right there eh?
That's where it cuts off in the show. The credits immediately roll after Charlie says that.
“When you have people sitting with the President, there’s excruciating protocol involved.” Yes there is, and that’s why there’s a White House Office of Protocol to do these things, not the press secretary. There’s also an order of precedence, codified in federal law, that would be used to determine where congressional and federal officials sit.
