Ambassador Ken Cochran fired. Great scene with the set up beforehand in the Oval, the firing in the Mural Room and discussion with Charlie and the President
It’s those “throw away” lines that are throughout each episode that give the scripts another dimension. While it’s a show about serious people, doing a serious job, we also know that occasionally Sam is getting his ass kicked by a girl on TV and it’s time for Toby and Josh to break out the popcorn.
@@thealexkirschproject8036 Sorkin has said, that one of his biggest mistakes was believing he wouldn’t have enough lines for Emily Proctor in scripts and allowing her to leave the show for CSI Miami.
"Look, he's a good man, a smart man--I'd think he'd make a very good corporate officer." "Why is he being fired, sir?" "Gross incompetence. I'll be right back."
I feel like Dulé Hill is honestly under rated. Sure, Charlie doesn’t have as many main scenes and great lines as our main six, but when he does Dulé always executes them masterfully, and he’s so young in this too
Charlie was perfectly suited for his job. He jacked a brother from the hood up against the wall and read him the riot act and no one certain terms, and in this scene he said screw you and the horse you rode in on six times very politely.
“Well, I'm personal aide to the President, so my supervisor is a little busy right now looking for a back door to this place to shove you out of, but I'll let him know you'd like to file a complaint.” This is genius writing, as always!
It's so beautiful how the ambassador was completely ignored as soon as Charlie and the President had something to talk to together. I can't imagine anything that would hurt that cretin more.
My favourite part is not the excellent dialogue, but that the (former) Ambassador, and member of an exclusive club is going to be working for a man who would not meet the membership criteria for his former club.
I love how the Ambassador goes from trying to laud his role over Charlie to attempting to beg the President to retain him in his post because he realizes Charlie has more influence then he could ever have imagined, in his racist mind, and believes Charlie must've used that influence to oust him. A true worm.
The funny part is that the ambassador was probably so used to abusing his position, he assumed that Charlie would do the same, when Charlie spent the entire episode trying to avoid mentioning their past relationship to the President (a.k.a. The biggest political connection he has) That's some epic level projection and some epic level comeuppance.
Let's not forget that the last thing he tried to do was use: 'I didn't vote for you' as an insult. Like he'd automatically assumed that he was picked for his service out of loyalty to this particular individual, not to the Republic and the Office. And Bartlett reacts with absolute lack of care, destroying him even more.
Ambassador Cochran: I think it would be appropriate at this time, Mr. President, to make a confession. President Bartlet: What's that? Ambassador Cochran: I never voted for you. President Bartlet: Well, thanks for trying, but here I am, anyway.
in the interaction between Charlie and Ambassador Cochran, almost every line that Dule Hill has to deliver is "Yes sir." Each time Dule delivers it slightly differently so that it conveys a different meaning. Wonderfully done.
Maybe some are, but we're too busy watching the partisan criticisms, opposition mis-portrayals, and simple failed communications we see Bartlet's team fighting in the show to see it. IMO Biden has the potential to be a case in point.
@@TigDegner I agree. I saw an interview Biden did during the campaign, after I posted the original campaign. Some of his comments reminded me of Bartlet.
@@mikeclement4029 Not the person you are asking, but not in the slightest. Biden still very obviously cares about America and Americans and tries, which is a sharp contrast from the previous administration who was inarguably the complete opposite.
When they interviewed the supreme court candidate in Episode 9, he mentioned that Charlie looked familiar to him as well, and remembered him from that same club. A small detail which, in retrospect, reconfirms the decision made not to pick him and Mendoza instead.
Being THE Personal Aid to the President is, in practical terms, one of the most powerful positions in the U.S. government. The amount of sway they could have in Presidential decisions is immense.
Not sure if utter failure. Ambassador was married, but i would assume Prime Minister's daughter was not. And I would assume the dauther was of age... sooooo...
@@miri669 his affair isn't the utter failure, the affair was the justification to oust him. However, the affair was also very problematic given that his paramour was the daughter of the high ranking government official; it begs to question whether confidential information was being traded.
This is the problem I have with executive level. The more incompetent you are, the faster you climb. You get fired from one but they ensure you get a better job with another while if you’re a blue collar worker, you get fired from one job, your family starves to death.
Past a certain point of power and/or wealth, it's not about what you know or what you can do, it's what connections you have and who you're networked with. It's not about left or right, Democrat or Republican, it's whether you serve the interests of the Elite caste, or you don't. If you're in that caste, you're bulletproof, and worst case they simply semi-retire you until the public forgets the specifics. Like, take Governor Cuomo: he was looking at serious investigations into how he may have been directly responsible for putting COVID patients into elder-care facilities, thus causing a significant percentage of his state's COVID related fatalities... but coincidentally he gets dinged with a sexual harassment case that allows him to resign in semi-disgrace but lets him get out of the limelight and make the investigation not as public. I'd honestly be surprised if Cuomo doesn't pop up again in the next couple years, especially if his party wins the next Presidential election, because he'll know that his chances of being protected are higher. Cuomo's just one out of hundreds of examples that we hear about on a regular basis.
I've never gotten a raise for doing exceptional work, but some people can fail upward with astonishing ease. This clown is getting a new, higher paying job for just being a screw up.
The key phrase 'you having an affair doesn't work for me" "but neither does a newspaper article saying so" basically Jed is doing some pre-incident Damage control work and putting out a spark before it smolders into a diplomatic crisis fire. In essence Jed decided to kick him out of the Diplomatic Corps to protect the integrity of the USA delegation to Bulgaria and generally USA delegations planetwide
It's interesting to contrast this with another scene earlier in the season with the WASPy judge they're initially going to nominate to the Supreme Court before they decide on Mendoza, who it turns out also was a member of some kind of exclusive golf club that Charlie caddied at and who also recognises Charlie. In both cases it's there to show how preppy and elitist both guys are, but Charlie's perfectly civil to and about the judge whereas he can barely contain his disdain for this jackass. Kind of makes you wonder just how bad this guy was.
One of my favorite scenese... I had a question for anyone who has the DVD or Bluray for the series. Is it typical for the scenes to be so dark? Take this scene, it's during the day and it's a decent quality, but it's so dark. Did they not have enough money for lighting?
Yes, they most definitely are deliberately lit this way. In this scene, they are only lit from one direction. But see where the angles are shot from. Cochran is shot mostly from his right, the shadowed side of his face. Charlie is shot from direct center, half dark and half lit. And when Bartlett arrives, he is never as shadowed as either of them. Cochran is the darker force in this room, a malevolent failure, Charlie is dead center between his light, respectful side and his dark, vengeful side, and Bartlett just breezes through. Cinematography, my friend. It's the same in many medical shows. There is no way in the world any hospital or operating room would be as dark as they are on television. They are generally well lit in reality, but for the sake of the show, they light it in a dramatic way. Same for characters wearing futuristic helmets. Always lighting the actor's face, often from within the helmet itself. Which also means they can't see anything, why would you light someone's face if they're wearing a helmet? Film.
He knows you're having an affair. He's being very nice to you. He's offering you a higher paying job. He's trying to defend you against public embarrassment. And you come back with, "I never voted for you"??? I get that Bartlet respects his wife, but if my friend's husband was cheating on her, I wouldn't be hiding it and offering the cheater more money...
Unfortunately this is different, if the News break out it would be insanely difficult to unwrangle that diplomatic crisis so when the news hit Washington Bartlett and Leo started figuring how to get him out of Bulgaria with as little fanfare and news on the case. He is doing it to protect the Diplomatic corps as well as Washington’s butt from an ugly situation. How he deals with his wife is on him. He said he has affection for her. But to be Frank Bartlett is a man that sees people that work for him with various degrees of affection Even Donna who he doesn’t have interact with as much is in his affection radar
The President and Charlie love each other. There is no other reason for the way they communicate with each other. God help the governmental stooge who would try to get between the two of them
2:38 MAAAAAAAN O MAAAAN IF "Hook, Line, and sinker" had a facial expression THIS would be it. For the longest time i thought charlie made a faux paz and then seized the chance to drop rank so to speak and avenge him being fired by this bastard. But NO charlie Baited him (no dont like the implication of innocence of that wording) maneuvered him into into trying to again get Charlie fired. Except this time Charlie was not just doing a job, these were colleagues and his boss was like father to him. Ahaha Charlie worked this situation marvelously
I know we’re smart enough to gauge Cochrans personality here, and Charlie probably has the right and the power to be correct here. But I wish he hadn’t. I wish hed paused more before saying his line about I couldn’t notice. Even if Charlie is that quick, I just thought prior to that was magnifique! However, once the oppurtunity rose, I thought he was better and just “smug” and not really that word even- just of that emotion. Or just justified. Now again I would have had him wait to deliver the president line and it was perfect and hilarious, but I mean he could’ve waited for Jed to come back and then let it unfold for the supervisor part. I do think potentially he hoped the guy wouldn’t tell the president, but he did 😅😭😂
Fabulous. Am I the only one with a problem that this guy had an affair, is resigning to avoid termination, tried to bully Charlie Young, and is getting rewarded with an American job and a raise?
welcome to real politik, he cant just be fired(would humiliate his wife and the bulgarians), you need to think about how he's being rewarded though, he's heavily implied to be racist and will be report to a member of the group he's racist against(i dont like his chances on surviving in his new job without massively screwing up personally)
I heard about that... ... and I got no clue why my name would have been there.... I've lived near DC most of my life where I have been the minority....
Uh huh.... its not anything to do with who you are. Its about who knows you. Bartlet should have disgraced this man. But noooo.... Cant upset the status 😢😢😢
"This is outrageous and I'll explain that to him when he comes back in here." Bruh. When POTUS says he knows something about you, he means the intelligence services of the United States knows it. You're cooked.
United States of America. Heck The World. Have we met? I do love this scene. The Casino - the waiting. Oh my the waiting and the weighting. USA and The World. Have we met?
Bills? Lots of people work at jobs they don't like, for bosses they don't like, for companies whose policies they agree with. If they can find something better they do, but if you are trying to survive you don't always have the luxury of doing only work you love for people you like.
"Well thanks for trying, but here I am anyway. Gotta go". I swear Aaron Sorkin is a genius writer.
i did not expect that reaction...
And the way Sheen delivers it is perfect

A wonderful treat of a Sorkinism!
That cracked me up!!
😂
Everyone else is marvelling at all the sharp, honed dialogue and I'm just stunned at the number of ways Charlie can say "Yes Sir."
I feel like Dulé Hill is honestly under rated. Sure, Charlie doesn’t have as many main scenes and great lines as our main six, but when he does Dulé always executes them masterfully, and he’s so young in this too
Every single one is a different story. I could watch Mr. Hill act all day.
Charlie was perfectly suited for his job. He jacked a brother from the hood up against the wall and read him the riot act and no one certain terms, and in this scene he said screw you and the horse you rode in on six times very politely.
10x, if i counted correctly. same 2 words... each time with a different meaning!
well my supervisor is the president
"You mocked my finely honed sense. You stood there in my face!"
Love this moment.
Best thing about the scene. Jed and Charlie's relationship was one of the awesomest things about The West Wing.
Charlie would be the guy I'd hire in a heartbeat. Agree with prior comments, Charlie and Jed had a great relationship.
“Well, I'm personal aide to the President, so my supervisor is a little busy right now looking for a back door to this place to shove you out of, but I'll let him know you'd like to file a complaint.” This is genius writing, as always!
Don't know the meaning the word 'genius,' do you?
@@mja91352 that’s a pretty rough question. What do you mean?
@@hexistenz Well, *I* thought you used genius appropriately. I suspect that he doesn't approve of the writing quite as much as you did.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole episode. Charlie's smack down of Ken Cochran in particular.
I think he said lodge a complaint, not file. Same difference, just wanted to point it out.
I love how the biggest issue jed had with this whole debacle was charlie making him feel like his deduction skills had failed him, 😂
Hashirama-sama!
“You mocked my finely honed sense!” 😂😂😂

Ooooo...good catch!!
I didn't catch that until your comment. Great insight!
And who won't hesitate to fire the ex-ambassador if he steps out of line.
The chemistry between The president and Charlie is great! I wish there was a supercut of scenes with just the two of them.
I love how the Ambassador goes from trying to laud his role over Charlie to attempting to beg the President to retain him in his post because he realizes Charlie has more influence then he could ever have imagined, in his racist mind, and believes Charlie must've used that influence to oust him.

Is he racist or just an ahole. Massive difference that seems to be forgotten in current yr.
@@prospero4183 Por que no los dos?
@@davidstorrs Si, los dos.
Why is he being fired? Gross incompetence. I love the way that line was delivered.
His face when Charlie told him who he works for was hilarious
"looking for a back door to shove you out of"... priceless
That was the "Oh shit" moment of the clip.
Talk about Out of line and not needing to be said… Charlie saw him and raised him.
Underrated scene. Charlie and POTUS are tremendous.
Bartlet instantly proved that he hadn't been influenced by Charlie's opinion of Cochran in the most Jed Bartlet way possible.
The writing and acting in WW was always sublime. Charlie must have loved this part!
The way Dule Hill handles this is just brilliant.
I love that ending line “gotta go.”
Ambassador Cochran: I think it would be appropriate at this time, Mr. President, to make a confession.
President Bartlet: What's that?
Ambassador Cochran: I never voted for you.
President Bartlet: Well, thanks for trying, but here I am, anyway.
Former ambassador Cochran, ordinary citizen Cochran, racist and adulterer Cochran

One of the best, most overlooked moment of the entire series! Thanks for posting.
the *GREATEST* show in the _HISTORY_ of television.
i keep rewatching the part about the 'back door of the place' ...... hysterical
in the interaction between Charlie and Ambassador Cochran, almost every line that Dule Hill has to deliver is "Yes sir." Each time Dule delivers it slightly differently so that it conveys a different meaning. Wonderfully done.
If any president actually had as much swagger as Martin Sheen, the world wouldn't know what to do with him.
The world doesn’t know what to do with the one we have now, nor did it know what to do with any of the last four.
Looove this scene, thanks for posting. I’ve been looking for this one for a while
This whole scene is up there with the opening scene of He Shall From Time To Time in season 1 ♥️♥️♥️
I wish the real POTUSs were as good as the fictional ones.
The show's POTUS are so good that Walken is my fave (fictional) Republican POTUS.
