The group surprise Ainsley Hayes with a present for her office. Sorry I've been pretty lazy with your requests but I'll be uploading more videos soon. Season 2 Episode 5.
Toby is Toby, he's stoic but in every instance he puts his heart and soul into things even though he comes off dour. I think Nikola was right, his presence says a lot. I can't remember the context of this scene but definetly Toby being there to celebrate means somthing.
One of the best scenes from the entire series. Ainsley Hayes was probably the best side character in the show. I like the simplicity of this scene, to end the episode playing the opera that was mentioned throughout the episode, and playing it in the foreground, with the character dialogues pushed to the background after her "Thank you!" Loved it!
I felt so bad for her when she tried to get of Leo's office and walked into a closet. I felt so bad for her when those jerks left her weeds on her desk with that awful message. And I felt so proud for her with that G&S flourish. Great show!
She didn't go into the closet in Leo's office in this episode. That's the episode where she meets the president for the second time, and she thinks the closet is a bathroom.
Toby had one love in his life, and there is a long story arch of him trying to win her back. Tobey is not unloving, but he is distant from his co-workers as many of us find the need to be.
Sorkin doesn’t strike me as republican hater from his works. I think Will McAvoy from the newsroom is his way of saying he respects and admires the principles of the Republican Party, and the republicans that embody those principles. But he hates the empty heads that manipulate and contort those values for their own personal ends. Am sure he has a similar opinion for the extreme hostile left that disguise themselves as democrats, using democratic values and principles, without fully understanding them. Both types of people push the left further left and right further right. Which breeds tribalism, and tribalism can lead to violence and the breakdown of a plural society. I know it’s a hated episode but Isaac and Ishmael covers this quite well when the main message seems to be one of pluralism, con-existing with the people who vote/pray/dance/eat in a way you don’t do or approve of. I think sorkin believes in Voltaire when he said “I disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”
I always went through life thinking I'm a grouchy grandpa stuck in a 24-year-old girls body and then I watched this show. Changed everything. I'm going to be the Tobiest Toby to ever Toby for the rest of my life. Toby isn't just a fictional character on the greatest tv show ever made. He's a feeling, a state of being, he's my spirit fucking animal
@@elizabetholiviaclark I too, had to re-watch the clip to spot, *the maneuver in question.* When I see this maneuver, I couldn't help but *burst out laughing!*
This might be my favorite scene from The West Wing. I loved the Ainsley Hayes character too--and I loved the whole Gilbert and Sullivan subtext that ran through these episodes--"Were YOU the recording secretary for the Gilbert and Sullivan Society?" "No, but then I'm not a girl..." One of the few truly SMART American television series--thanks so much for posting
Even after all these years, I agree. This was one of the best scenes in the series; and the loss of Ainsley Hayes character as a regular was unfortunate. Emily Procter created one of the best supporting characters in the series and in contemporary TV.
Emily Proctor is a fine actress, with an obviously talent tongue, considering the verbal gymnastics she was tasked with early on with the introduction of her character. But her role here as Ainsley Hayes verse other TV roles she has highlights how important great writing and directing is for any of these performer's work. I don't think Procter has ever shined in another role they way she did as Ainsley.
@@Nyx773what a pointless and inept comment. He I assume was commenting on how people on both sides of the political establishment could find enough grace and humility to find common ground and goals whilst also having that kind whimsy that sadly only seems to occur now in fiction.

@@patrickbyrne5070 Do you feel like a big man now that you "put me in my place"? Because you actually are a little man for making an extremely needless nasty comment.

If you really want to feel good about yourself, then show positivity, not negativity. I am muting/blocking you and this conversation.

Bravo Ricky.....that was indeed a very beautiful comment! I smile and tear up EVERY time I watch this scene. My only "problem" seems to be that this particular series had sooooooooo many of them!! Cheers
Yep. Some of the best characters on this show were Republican and some of the worst were dems. By which I mean, this wasn’t just a liberal fantasy. It was hitting us all correct
@@charliesanders6930 It didn't have to be romantic. Build a good friendship while staying true to their political ideals. And then later deciding maybe to take it further when Bartlett's term is coming to a close.
They fucked many times, you just didn't get the jokes... all night pastry chef, had time to spill a lot of coffee, she found a peach that someone lost... bro
I love how they made her office up with posters from the operettas. Nice to liven up “The steam-pipe distribution venue” or whatever it was called. Show me a show as smart with culture, humor, and heart today. I’ll wait.
There are no shows of today which can touch The West Wing. Been two years since you started on your vigil without any reply. Just so that you could last another two years I brought you an Ainsley Hayes cupcake.
I can just see Ainsley sitting on there working on a project, feeling a little stumped, and she looks up at a random poster and draws inspiration from it. And tosses in some iambic pentameter just to give her boss a bit of a tic.
One of the most memorable side characters...and this comes right after Sam and Lionel's epic firing of those bastards who harassed Ainsley. I'm a Democrat, but I LOVE Ainsley Hayes as a character--smart, tough, kind and she shows that Democrat OR Republican, it's all about serving the country as a whole... For in spite of all temptations, to belong to other nations, WE ARE ALL AMERICAN! ;)
this scene still brings tears to my eyes, even after seeing the entire series probably 5 times.In remembrance of days when there was a middle path in politics, and respect was present in the air. The greatest of all television productions, what a fantastic cast.
I am a republican. My parents were republican. My grandparent on both sides were republican so on and so forth. But in my darkened house with all the drapes shut I watch this show and love it every minute!!!! I am so ashamed.😎.
Well in the real world, both parties fail to be as good public servants as the characters on this show. So I think that Democrats should also feel a little shame when they watch the West Wing. By the way, when I started reading your comment I totally thought that you were going to quote Ainsley Hayes.
A very informative series.The characters were very interesting and credible.And as an Englishman it was an education to learn about the American system.Greta series.Watched all of it. I especially liked the fact that the characters were trmenedously loyal to one another.
The only problem I have with Bob/Kelsey's version is that he goes up at the end instead of down, and consequently every time I hear this, I expect it to go up and not down and I'm thrown every time! (It's on the last syllable of 'English').
Ainsley was one of my favorite characters in that show, don't agree with her on most of her politics, but she was the kind of person you could have a fact-based argument with, which I love. too bad we don't seem to actually have Republicans like her anymore.
@@AttyCPA1 Republican? Not sure, since John McCain died. Maybe Mitt Romney. I’d definitely have a conversation with John Roberts, George Will, or PJ O’Rourke. I guess Colin Powell’s technically a Republican.
I would have loved to see Ainsley and Sam together when Sam returned in Season 7: perhaps she could have helped prepare Secretary-designate Vinick for his confirmation hearings...
Ainsley’s scenes with Leo were always my favourite… It was great that Emily (as Ainsley) returned in ‘Requiem’ (S7) for Leo’s funeral. That was fitting as Leo was Ainsley’s champion from the start, before anyone else was (including Sam)
There has been no other show like the TWW before or after. No other show had such dedication by me as following it. I *never* missed a show unless volunteering for a worthy cause and then it was taped (remember VCRs?)!
LOVED THIS! I can’t remember seeing this, nor can I possibly understand how I could’ve missed this! Thank you! I read a comment & came here right away! Great version! 🙏🏼✨♥️✨
The Sopranos would have swept the board if it was not for The West Wing. Both excellent in their own way but I’ll admit I watch more repeat episodes of TWW. Pure genius.
Este himno de la obra de Gilbert y Sullivan es el mayor regalo que se le puede brindar al difernte, al distinto por razón de pensamiento, raza, lengua o por cualquier otra condición, una absoluta y rotunda declaración a los cuatro vientos de que todos somos una sola unidad. Maravilloso.
+Chris Klimmer Right! Smart and funny and warm and thought provoking In the end don't we all want to work with smart people who care passionately about what they do, who care about their fellow man, and their nation I for one do! I to am a Republican, but love the show.
I would also submit that the show does a decent job of showing Republican values/ideas can be a valuable part of the discussion. On more than one occasion, Ainsley shows Sam (and others) that her perspective is valuable, too. Especially when it came to the episode discussing the ERA.
I'd never heard this song before this episode, then on the same day after I was introduced to it I watched Chariots of Fire for the first time, which this song was also used in
There's abso-freakin'-lutely *no doubt about it!* I have *DEFINITELY, GOT to HAVE, THIS PARTICULAR RECORDING OF H.M.S. PENNIFORE!* I am running *Star Trek Online.* And I just have to have *"He Is An Englishman"* to listen to when I maneuver some of the Starfleet ships I've 'built' through their *'shakedown'/"Pass-In-Review"* cruises!
I am thinking of multi-tracking a few songs from this and making some videos to go with. Voyager uniforms and the USS Pinafore from ST online may make an appearance 🤣
@petergaskin1811 USS is the prefix used in Star Trek for standard non-experimental ships, so, if I were to name a ship in Star Trek Online, it would be the USS Pinafore, hence my usage of USS.
@Alison O'Connor No, actually, you need to trace a series of points moving in a plane, so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) are constant, in order to have an ellipse. You need three periods to make an ellipsis. :)
If you watch the hand that rocks the cradle where Payton. Emma and Michael are playing a game in the lounge. Claire is going up the stairs. And you can just about hear it on the radio in the background
I feel as if Tobey is sitting there thinking "I am here.....for reasons passing understanding".
I don't think so. I think Tobey was being Tobey. His presence alone said a lot.
Nikola Tesla Love your nickname.
Toby is Toby, he's stoic but in every instance he puts his heart and soul into things even though he comes off dour. I think Nikola was right, his presence says a lot. I can't remember the context of this scene but definetly Toby being there to celebrate means somthing.
He was there. His precense said enogh. Even the President had trouble makung him do stuff he did not want:)
If i remember correctly, Bartlet has a harder time arguing anything with Toby than he does with Leo.
One of the best scenes from the entire series. Ainsley Hayes was probably the best side character in the show. I like the simplicity of this scene, to end the episode playing the opera that was mentioned throughout the episode, and playing it in the foreground, with the character dialogues pushed to the background after her "Thank you!"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you close out an episode.
Yes...yes it is, my friend
Not just that, but I want to close out a bad day that way. Ainsley's was hell. She needed that.
and a female ;)
The West Wing was one of the finest TV shows of all time!!
I felt so bad for her when she tried to get of Leo's office and walked into a closet.
I felt so bad for her when those jerks left her weeds on her desk with that awful message.
And I felt so proud for her with that G&S flourish.
Great show!
She didn't go into the closet in Leo's office in this episode. That's the episode where she meets the president for the second time, and she thinks the closet is a bathroom.
Toby’s working the CD player. And avoiding all human emotional contact, obviously!
But he’s not smoking a cigar?
Also, he doesn't like humans, republicans (obviously), contact (sure) and music (yikes).
@@abigaildeeks8328 Not in someone else's office, no.
Toby had one love in his life, and there is a long story arch of him trying to win her back. Tobey is not unloving, but he is distant from his co-workers as many of us find the need to be.
Is Toby a Vulcan, somewhat lost from Star Trek?
I especially like that Sorkin didn't overcook Ainsley's storyline by turning her into a Democrat in the whole Damascus Road cliché.
Sorkin doesn’t strike me as republican hater from his works. I think Will McAvoy from the newsroom is his way of saying he respects and admires the principles of the Republican Party, and the republicans that embody those principles. But he hates the empty heads that manipulate and contort those values for their own personal ends. Am sure he has a similar opinion for the extreme hostile left that disguise themselves as democrats, using democratic values and principles, without fully understanding them.
Both types of people push the left further left and right further right. Which breeds tribalism, and tribalism can lead to violence and the breakdown of a plural society.
I know it’s a hated episode but Isaac and Ishmael covers this quite well when the main message seems to be one of pluralism, con-existing with the people who vote/pray/dance/eat in a way you don’t do or approve of.
I think sorkin believes in Voltaire when he said “I disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it”

So true.
Such a sweet gesture, after what she was put through. Love this one.
I love how she snaps to attention when the music starts. Then does the Picard Maneuver.
I had to watch again to see the Picard maneuver. Good catch, there.
Well we know Picard is quite familiar with Gilbert & Sullivan, seems appropriate.

She got offered that role on CSI Miami. I don't blame her for not turning it down. Sorkin has said in the past regretting not making her a regular.

So many great scenes in The West Wing. Loved this one very much.

It's most likely she didn't notice, but still...
byebye006 Looks actually like hu just tossed something on the desk. If he wanted to shake her hand he would have stood up and reached for her.
Wish her character stuck around.

I won't sue you but...you need three periods to make an ellipse. :)
@Alison O'Connor No, actually, you need to trace a series of points moving in a plane, so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) are constant, in order to have an ellipse.
You need three periods to make an ellipsis.
