How about "the new Senate will ratify the treaty and we really don't care what condition his body is in at the time..." 😅😂
Lame duck, not sitting duck. A sitting duck is something else.
Right? How did that get through?
When I saw sitting duck, I was wondering what that was about and clicked to watch. I sort of figured something was amiss, thought I'd see an actual duck, sitting, but couldn't put my finger on it until your comment. I suppose it worked as click bait.
I think they chose it on purpose. After all, they use the term "lame duck" multiple times in this clip, and it's the name of the episode, so it'd be pretty weird if they'd missed it. Also, it's in the video description, so you know they know what it is.
Maybe the duck is sitting because it is lame. Or it could be lame because it has been sitting too long.
I see this more and more with clips from films and TV. Is it not deliberate, in an effort to make it more difficult for RUclips to pick up on and remove via a copyright strike?
Asking Charlie for some aspirin OR some kind of weapon to kill people with!......This absolutely made me laugh out loud today as It did back in 2000 when I first saw this episode! Still works on so many level! Cheers West Wing Warriors 👋
I think it is Charlie. There is a three day waiting period for Aspirin. The GOP thinks that there should be reasonable restrictions and a background check so that the wrong people don't get it.
So many of those casual, throwaway, incredibly funny moments in the show.
@@vickicole4787 YES....and they still seem to be relevant today! Cheers Vicki 👋
Charlie
"Aspirin or a Weapon" That is expressing Exasperation!
"There's no money in the foreign relations committee." Uh, I don't think Bob Menendez got that memo.
LMAO!! Fair point
The president being a dad and making dry quips is fun, but what I loved the most about TWW were moments like this: Toby comes to the other 3 gathered, and it takes him 2 seconds flat to see where the journey is going to, AND he is 2 steps ahead when he walks away. I miss people depicted as smart on TV. I miss a show trusting its audience to keep up.
Sublimely awesomeness!
You just know Charlie would have sourced a weapon if he'd though Bartlet was serious.
Is this the one with a Senator/Congressman who lost reelection refusing to vote for a treaty that he actually supports, because he thinks that's respecting the will of the people?
Hang on. What did Charlie end up bringing for him?
The aspirin. For a weapon, Bartlett would need to talk to Ron Butterfield.
@@Dafmeister1978 But he has sent Charlie out to find knives for him and he delivered.
Charlie brought in the Paul Revere carving knife and Bartlet ended up murdering Sam. It’s why his character disappeared from the show.
this scene is why aaron sorkin is the greatest writer in the business.
All those egos talking across each other sort of cringe worthy scripts if it wasn't fiction it might be entertaining but it is very cringe unworthy fiction
People talk like this all the time. apparently you never talk to anyone other than your wall
Oh relax
seemed pretty realistic to me.
If the characters spoke the way real people speak in every day life you would be bored to death.
Then don't watch.
