Charlie tries to defuse in a polite and friendly way. Sam throws the attitude right back at them. Josh calls in the heavies and enjoys the fallout. This scene is consistent with their characters.
Zooie should have asked for extra grasshoppers.
What good is power if it's not used appropriately?
So everyone knew except C.J. -- the WH news person.
"Josh calls in the heavies" great line, great line.
@@veramae4098 It was a function of the plot -- it required that the college jackasses be clueless about who they're dealing with. Sam & Josh might have names that are well-known to political junkies, but none of them have particularly famous faces... except for Zoe (which the script dealt with by having her say "You're kidding, right?") and except for CJ the Press Secretary. So because the screenplay required it, CJ was kept out of the scene until the last minute.
In reality, two adult women in a crowded bar with a 19 year-old? Unless they were completely ditzy, they would have absolutely kept Zoe in their line of sight the whole time. Not saying the men wouldn't also have done so, but women definitely cover each other's backs in that kind of situation.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time in Season 1 that CJ's intelligence was demeaned for script purposes. I especially enjoyed episode 1.6, where the script needed to explain the US Census to the audience, so Sorkin chose the character who's a supposed expert in polling modeling with a masters from Berkeley as the person who didn't know anything about it and picked the corporate M&A lawyer as the person to explain it to her, instead of the other way around.
"How's everybody doing" with the smirk of somebody who KNOWS whats next
'Now i'm having a good time' .
I love it every time
And then the "my work here is done." My two favourite lines in this episode.
Every time.
"You guys don't realize it, but you're having a pretty bad night" - the most accurate political prognosis ever😂😂😂😂
They don't write dialogs like that anymore 😊😊
"Yeah? And who's gonna give it to us?"
"Federal agents!"
Asked and answered.
@@SpydeyDan with a quickness!!
Yes they do. Aaron Sorkin is still writing baby!
The First Daughter of the United States, the daughter of the Chief of Staff of the White House, White House Press Secretary, two senior staff members of the White House and personal aide to the President (closest person to him at all times) enter the bar... a combination you wouldn't want to miss
2nd, or maybe 3rd daughter of the US ...
@@nickchoporis5901 Zoe's the youngest of the three Barlett daughters.
Two senior staff? Yes, one of them's the deputy chief of staff, no less
I'm pretty sure Secret Service would be in the bar at another table.
Great guest appearance by the Secret Service 😂
“I swear to god I’ll blow your head off” that dude was just putting in fresh dip and the pager went off lol
if you have ever watch feds at that level work they are and can be very subtle and forceful! kicking a door by four agents with thier guns drawn and commenting ill blow your head off is for you folks,...they dont do that!
now josh needs to go to court as a deputy and explain to the USSC what happened. since he spends most of his work day with the president! not all that accurate... but a good scene none the less! lol
I heard they had a cameo recently in Bethel, PA.

@@moriellymoproblems7842 In the credits of that production they are listed as "Cops, Keystone."
"The President's daughter, the Chief of Staff's daughter, a Georgetown bar, and Sam - what could possibly go wrong?" 😀
Can you give a Season and Episode? Or title?
@@veramae4098 Season one, episode around 6, maybe 7, if memory serves
@@veramae4098 Season 1 Episode 6 "Mr. Willis of Ohio".
As long as the president is in office his daugther would NOT be in a bar by herself. I remember that Michelle Obama said that the daughters were not allowed to enter any car that was not driven by the Secret service. I guess the parents and teachers at the private school had been checked out. Michelle said their friends could hop into their car (Motorcade ?) Also Obama was not allowed to drive while he was the president. Always driven by the Secret Service.
Don’t forget to add Josh to your cast of characters. :-). The Deputy Chief of Staff, who along with Zoe, has a space in the bunker in case of nuclear attack.
This was first instance of Charlie being a secret badass.
Ok. Fine. I will watch the whole show for the tenth time.
I watch this scene EVERY time it comes up anywhere! I love this!
So do I.
Same
Nowadays every single person in the place would have whipped out their phones, recorded this, and posted it on social media.
Obviously, that's where this vid came from!
When this show is based is pre 2000 early 2000. They actually have beepers and blackberries. The cell phones you see in the show are old school bricks. So, unfortunately no, it wouldn't be recorded by the bar.
Would white office staff and the presidents’ kids be that recognisable?
@@michaelsurette Not necessarily a brick. I had a work issued Motorola StarTac those years. Tethered it to my Powerbook as a modem.
Still, I bet in reality one of the other people in the bar would have recognised one or some of them at some (earlier) point, and called the press.
i've watched this clip so many times and love it more each time i watch it lolol just perfection
One of the few intelligent shows ever produced. I bought the boxed set and immediately binged on all seven seasons.
7? I swear I binged 28!
@@burstcity3832 7 seasons, not 7 episodes. LOL
@@RLU-wt8vi My humour is very dry, I'm insinuating I watched it through 4 times ;-)
@@burstcity3832 I must be more tired than I thought. I see it now that you put the billboard in my face. Don't worry, no bruises.
@@burstcity3832 FWIW, I got it.
It’s the follow up meeting with the President, Leo, and Josh that is my favorite.
ok, now I HAVE to watch the series again! GREATEST SHOW EVER! I've seen it a few times but it has been a long time. SO many GREAT moments in the series. I cried when it ended. Seems like a million years ago! Where in the heck did 25 YEARS go? wow I can't believe it how time seems to have just suddenly gone by. My prime years and I didn't even know it.
Thanks so much for pointing out how long ago my favorite show ended. I've always been able to deflect the passage of time, but noooo.... guys like you have to remind me. 😅
"How's everybody doin?" Lmao
“She’s 19 years old you’d have to take her to Maryland”. Great line
This will never not be hilarious
This is the moment in this show that you realise you do not ever mess with Charlie!
Charlie Young was the best of us.
"NOW I'm having a good time!"
Absolutely the kicker and suddenly Charlie is the only one I care about! Love that line!
The President is a very protective father. And Charlies eyes widen!
Charlie’s line the best. Now I am having a good time.
I feel like all of those people are responsible enough to have objected when Zoe got up to leave and abandoned her panic button behind lol
sssssssss
This is one of my favorite scenes of the show.
I have always loved the scene!!! Thank you for posting it.
perfect set up and payoff with the panic alarm - that's an example of perfect writing
Love this scene...Charlie protecting Zoey, Sam ready, and Josh telling the punks there about to have a really bad night...
Not that they're about to have a really bad night, but that they're already having a bad night, they just don't know it yet... 😂😂😂
At 3:56, I think the dialog is an homage to Rob Lowe in “Youngblood” when the other hockey player says to him, “you wanna go, pretty boy?”
Great show, thanks for posting all of these clips.
Maybe. The hooker in question was certainly an homage to his behavior in Real Life.
"NOW I'm having a good time"
hehehehehe
NOW I'm having a good time 😂
Foo Fighters playing in background here. Foo Fighters at Santos election night.
They'd play at the opening of an envelope.
Surprised the Secret Service subdetail didn't have at least one agent to cover the interior of the bar. I suppose they hadn't assigned Gina to work as Zoey's close-in protection yet.
Zoe may have said stand back.
You're right. Too much can happen quickly in a bar like that. They'd have had an agent inside for certain.
@@tpl608The President assigned Zoe her own protection after this incident ,
Yeah, I wonder if this was accurate in the 90’s, but wouldn’t be now. I know the guys talking to Zoe was accurate, but security wasn’t quite as much of a concern back then.
@@ryancappo I imagine the security around presidents and their families was really beefed up up after 1963. So yes the security was pretty heavy.
Dule Hill, loved him since this show. I remember watching this episode. 🙂 loved this scene.
You don’t know it yet but you’re having a pretty bad night
The lawsuit will be worth or, however.
@@JayM409 Once Zoey, Charlie & the Senior Staff gave a deposition & ESPECIALLY after they found the "8 ball of blow" in Mealy Mouths pocket, any potential lawsuit would be tossed out.
A fave scene, right up to the final two lines.
I love this series so much. Best TV program ever.
Nothing beats great writting, good acting, cast & crew!
And spelling
We don't need the spelling police to tell us what the word is supposed to be.
Managed to convey their message quite well.
If I was in a confrontation and someone like Josh came up like that, I'd definitely take a step back.
I don't care how many times I watch this I never get tired of seeing it
Damn, I love this show.
This scene is both a masterclass in how different characters must have distinctly different voices and a cautionary tale of how very, very serious it is to cross the extremely powerful. In real life, those three young men’s futures just nosedived. Possibly even cratered.
Great scene with some GREAT MUSIC in the background from the Foo Fighters.
This is just priceless! I love watching bits of the West Wing. ......now, I am having a good time. Yep, me, too!
One of my favorite scenes
I always loved Sam's and Mallory's banter.
Yea kind of a shame they didn't do more with that relationship, they had excellent chemistry but then again Sam had tremendous chemistry with Ainsley too and that never went anywhere either.
I had worked in the area of UPENN for 12 years. Ive encountered college students (not even in bars) that because they are 21+ (not having mom & dad to answer to) they do have NO ONE to answer to (police, teachers, etc). They above the law so act, talk and take as they please.
That’s my favorite scene in the entire series
I love Josh in this scene.
The *GREATEST* show in the _History_ of television.
Now I’m having a good time
I love this show...just got done watching the entire series again for the...oh hell....I lost count, over 15 times
Josh: This is too good to be true.
One of my many favorites 😂
And that was the beginning of the Charlie-Zoey romance.
This was a great show!
Charlie was ready to handle the situation himself - when the SS come in (yep that’s their initials!)it’s Josh and Sam who are raising their hands “right here!” 😂
Wait, how could "Learn to Fly" be in this show? It's only been....
Oh....
*dissolves into dust*
Feeling old
Zoey gets whisked away. Everyone else: okay back to the table!
I get why the panic button was pushed, but it always annoyed me. The guys get to save Zooey and get back at and laugh at the college guys. But Zooeys whole night was ruined. She has to go back to the White House while everyone else gets to hang out. I mean, she shouldn’t have been at a bar, but couldn’t they have dealt with this another way?
@@daffodil852 y shouldnt she be allowed to go to a bar yeah zoey is the president's daughter but shes alos still a teenager
@@mistybethune9116 teenagers are allowed at some bars. It’s why some bars stamp hands. wa just can’t drink, which Zoey wasn’t.
@@daffodil852 yeah but i wouldnt think she be allowed to order a drink either
@daffodil852 maybe if they hadn't deal with it that exact way and Zoey was in some kind of danger, there would be much more severe consequences for all of them than a ruined evening. So they left the job to the people who are meant to do it. I love how calm they are. It shows that dealing with jerks is a kind of routine task for them, either professionally, or recreationally.
Josh should have given Charlie the option to press the button, it would have made Charlie's night more fun 😂
Reading What’s Next? Melissa and Mary’s book - superb...
I love Josh in this clip!
I love that Sam immediately knew something was up and got into the middle of it.
@@jamiestewart48 and Josh was right behind him as wingman. :)
I love how the video title makes it sound like the start of a joke, very clever.
Classic West Wing scene.
Charlie did not hesitate.
Rare footage of June Osborn and Commander Lawerence hanging out before the Fall of the US and the Rise of Giliad.
Poor Sam thought he was talking to a complete stranger….Love this scene when Charlie puts the jackasses in their place! ♥️
Love how partner saw and did!!
"Now I'm having a good time"
Josh has always been my favourite character.
I love when he says this is too good to be true😅😅😅!!!
i think Josh pushed the button as soon as he called him a fairy boy!
Josh pushed that button approximately 0.2 seconds before those guys walked in.
The secret service does NOT mess around.
If the President's kid went to Georgetown University, the Secret Service would have intel on every bar in Georgetown, layout, ingress/egress, and background on almost every employee in the place. They likely had plainclothes already in the bar when Zoe got there.
I think he pressed the button as soon as they recognize Zoey. The rest of it was just talk, but as soon as one of them recognized that she was POTUS' daughter, that's when the security threat became real, and he pushed it. You notice he immediately drew the attention back to himself and explained the bad night they were having.
I think he pushed as soon as he walked up. That smirk says it all
“I thought you and Charlie were going out for malt-its”
I love this show
I think these actors would have been more competent Secret Service agents than the actual ones we have today.
I don't know why, but I love this scene. There used to be a college kids / motorcycle bar called Crowbar around GW campus. Never saw a problem there. College kids held the bar, greasers held the pool room. But lots of cross communication. Way cool! Honestly, I think the cyclists would protect most of the kids, in a pinch.
What a brilliant show
Best scene in the whole show
May be my favorite of all.....
I so want to re-watch the West Wing, but my heart just breaks at the thought of how much farther our reality has moved away from the decency Americans used to hold and admire, as depicted in the West Wing...
It's a problem on both sides. Republicans aren't the same as they used to be but Democrats have literally become lemmings.
Our current Democrats can't even condemn the worst Anti-Semetic attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
Watch it if just to remind yourself what intelligent political discourse sounds like so you can demand it from your representatives.
What a great show
Mallory is heart stoppingly gorgeous
48 year old Republican here in 2024.. Why can't these guys just be in charge for real.
I'd tell you, but RUclips won't let me.
@@KristineMaitland Too bad, I've never had a comment censored and I say plenty of off the wall stuff :)
Maga, that's why
@@Buasop Maga is not the cause. It's a symptom.
It's because some people prefer an Administration that won't put the People First
Has it been mentioned yet that it seems they are releasing official clips of the most popular unofficial clips that have been floating around RUclips for years?
i hope they expand after they cover that. most likely to populate with subscribers and algorithim so they can make money on the ads. Not a bad thing
@@CT_Taylor No not a bad thing at all and kind of brilliant. Pull in the viewers looking for their favorite clips
They clipped the last few seconds that makes the clip
‘What happened?’
Yeah this clips channel is nice but very strangely edited.
Loved this scene!! ❤
"The President's Daughter and the White House Staff Walk into a Bar"? That's the first line of that classic joke, right?
I wish they had shown the President being briefed about his since I'm assuming he was told since the panic button was used
None of this would have happened if they'd just gone out for malteds.
This kind of thing is why I never bothered with bars.
What is this, Our Town?
@@KarlB591 I played the stage manager in Our Town, I’ll have you know.
"how's evereybody doin'"
I wish I was half the man Charlie is.
It's wild to hear the Foo Fighters from this 25 year old clip...!
Alternate title: Brett Kavanaugh: The Early Years.
How on earth did that guy get out of a federal charge for possession to then later become a contractor for CTU Los Angeles?! He must have had one hell of an attorney to get that off his record! 😏
He also played a stalker stalking Don Johnson's college daughter on "Nash Bridges".
He also got gangster-slapped in the movie "O" for being a cad.
I was wondering if someone was going to point that out.
Everytime I see this, I'm amazed.
The things people can remember about characters in movies & actors entire lives and it just never stops with some of them. I have met some that were truly incredible in thier knowledge. I keep thinking, wow, they must spend all thier time doing this to know all these facts and interwoven characters. There have been a few that just never stopped linking everything together endlessly. I could only sit there and listen. Amazed and stunned that anyone would or could collect all these bits of knowledge. Movie & music lore affecinadoes definitely.
Well, Charlie did say "if" it was an 8-ball of blow. It might not have been anything illegal, but got the idiot a rubber glove exam anyway.
75th time of watching this.
I don't know what's more insane when I see stuff like this on tv; that the guys think the woman is on their side or that they don't assume the other guy is with her either as her friend or partner.
If Zoey was 19, how was she going to get CJ's drink ? ?
That is the first plot hole. I assume that whoever wrote this first was going on his memories of college bars, rather than recent experience (recent from then, at least). Nowadays, she would be carded before they remembered her order, and probably before she picked it up. And 17 yo would be well too young.
Charlie is a secret badass!
not so secret. He was such a GREAT and underrated actor on this show. He was a fantastic addition. I remember when first came onto the show. The President couldn't find his glasses and was stressing out and Charlie helps him out. GREAT scene!
I agree with very few of the political opinions on WW but the acting and was superb. It would still dominate on prime time today.
Charlie literally offered to buy the obvious predatory man pack a round. In bar talk that's basically saying "hey man. you don't want any problems. I don't want any problems. Can we just drink?"
