@@derrickstorm6976Nope, he knows. The apathy, which is the best descriptor here, is in relation to the combativeness from the State Department official Toby knows he is causing, and consequently in relation to the headache he is causing Will, who will be on the receiving end of this combativeness.
I feel like that might be less than a handful of times where Pres. Bartlet says "thank you, Sir (or Ma'am)" to one of his staff in such a way that puts the other character as his equal, and it is so powerful.
Well I think rap borrowed more from poetry than poetry borrowed from rap. But in this case he bin spendin most his life livin in a justice's paradise. They're all just crazy jurist types livin in a bookish paradise. You might think it kinda bites livin in jurisprudence stare that's nice.
In real life, there are several copies of the Bible downstairs in the Presidential library. Also, John Quincy Adams took the oath on a book on constitutional law, Teddy Roosevelt had no Bible handy when he was sworn in at a private residence in New York, and LBJ was sworn in on a Catholic book of prayer.
In reference to Josh's comment on using a Bible or not, John Q. Adams used a book of law. Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible.

I´d like to see a "multiverse" episode in which Frank Underwood (and his pals) worked during the Bartlet administration, just to see what would happen.
Fun thing is technically Leo is kinda a butler in way , the role of butler is kinda misrepresented in media, a butler would be the head of the staff in a large house so when he tells the butler to get get something done he’s not directly telling the butler to do it but to get other staff to do it , so in this way Leo is a butler, but in turn butler is a over simplification of the chief of staff’s position in the white house
@@Captain_Blue_Beard If I remember correctly, the White House Chief Of Staff began really simply as the president's secretary. Tell me that a butler in the home isn't equal to the secretary at the office.
I prefer to think of it as an Easter Egg continuing the teleprompter typo running gag that started with ’…as we gaze into the 321st century’ and ‘the pound sign is silent, right?’.
Nope, I'm with you 100%. W.G. Snuffy Walden's music was a complete mood killer in many episodes. I had the same issue with some of Marc Shaiman's music cues in A Few Good Men. Especially when Kaffee went after Joann in the rain.
@@bloodymarvelous4790 Its been a while but as I recall the music was like that old Warner Brothers gangster style when the bad guy shoots an innocent. Or something like that.
It was entirely appropriate. The West Wing was about good governance; in actuality it was about political idealism. This music evokes feelings of hope, warmth and maybe a touch of joy. Don't worry, there's plenty of dark music throughout the series but the theme song conveys the correct message.
"I would really think so." I love Schiff's ability to deliver a line with deliberate and forceful apathy.
I don't think you know what apathy means 😂

@@derrickstorm6976truth seeker rekt ya
@@derrickstorm6976 It means torpor. And dullness.
Every time Toby laughs, an angel is born.
Every time Toby laughs i get paranoid.
@@rudyjuarez4535 Scared of angels? Me too.
Not a lot of angels around, then
"Which one's Will?" Nice callback to Bartlet's difficulty with remembering names of new people.
The House Library had a Motel Bible on their shelf....Outstanding! 😂
“Nice suit” to something Josh wears like every day.
“There’s cheese over there”😂

In this case, I thought I heard "Son."
@@LuLu-xs4sh You thought correctly.
The chief justice wrote a rap bar

In the unlikely event I ever become POTUS, I'll use a copy of Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" when I'm sworn in. Don't panic.
Indeed. We’re mostly harmless….
You now have gotten my vote!😉
I'll have my towel raised in your Honor
I officiated my sister's wedding, and we used my fancy leather-bound gilded version of H2G2. 😂

I think every time CJ gave him a “stage direction” he mocked her.
refreshing change of pace unfortunately
I heard Biden asked about hiring her

I loved this show. I wish the would relaunch it.
Evidently, I'm not done with the Baileys...
Apparently not. You effete …
"Evidently not, you effete!" 😂😂😂
"Dramatically?"
"I like to think it has a certain flair"
@@werewolvesdeathmetal That scene's got so many absolute zingers, its like Sorkin set a challenge for himself 😂😂😂
@@werewolvesdeathmetal One of my favorite lines in anything ever.
What did Bartlett say to Josh at 1:01?
"Thank you son" ?
I think so.
I think so
4:33 : Abliged?

Colour me intrigued!
“Alright…two problems.”
I can see how Lord Marbury would be confuse Leo with the butler.

I'm sorry, but I can't forgive the misspell of 'obliged' on the teleprompter at 4:32 😉
I came to this comment section to say the same! 😀
I prefer to think of it as an Easter Egg continuing the teleprompter typo running gag that started with ’…as we gaze into the 321st century’ and ‘the pound sign is silent, right?’.
@@greybirdo I was coming to say that...
My problem was the apostrophe in "it's". The possessive form should have no apostrophe.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice that. And people wonder why I don’t like TelePrompTers, or, as they’ve also been called, “idiot boards”.
4:32 "Abliged"? I know sometimes words are put on the prompter phonetically to help the speaker, but that's rather odd.
It's to remind Bartlett that Abbey's in charge of everything else.
“No I jail you”
Well yeah Will. But that's no reason not to do it.
I'm dying to know what lens they used for this scene
Please don't die, but I'm pretty sure it was the round one.
@@atyourservice hahaha, you I like.
What excites you? Is it the fuzziness?
@@atyourservice No. It was glass.
Am I the only one thinks the adorable family sitcom happy-go-lucky music was completely inappropriate for this show?
yes, you are the only one
