"The President likes smart people who disagree with him. He wants to hear from you. The President's asking you to serve... and everything else is crap."
👍They should have waited til that to cut it
@@kristarolleri6442 , search Leo interviews Ainsley
Who are you talking about? The orange turd, he only serves himself, ever
Man that did not age well. Wasn’t it great back in the day when you could give people the benefit of the doubt that they weren’t straight up evil.
“She seems to be a very good secretary.”
“Well, she’ll be glad to hear that. She’s standing right outside the door.”
BANG
“Ow!”
One of my favorite moments from the entire show.
Leo & Margaret had a wonderful relationship, even if it wasn’t always obvious.
@@Grazilla52 the bit where she tells him she could sign the President's name (S2E2) & Leo just stares at her...
"...or do you think the White House Counsel would say that was a bad idea?"
"I think the White House Counsel would say that's a coup d'etat."
"...I'd probably end up doing time for that?"
"I would think...and what the hell are you doing practicing the President's signature??"
"It's just for fun."
"We've got separation of powers, checks and balances, and *Margaret*, vetoing things and sending them back to the hill..." 🤣🤣🤣
Comedy gold. One of the best in television!
"I used to have a nervous condition"
"How did your's manifest itself?"
"I drank a lot of scotch"
"I get sick when I drink too much"
"I get drunk when I drink too much"
"you wanna glass of scotch?"
"yes please"
"I took a shot". It aint the line. It's the delivery. Perfect.
As always Gail's goldfish bowl gives away a plot line - the elephant in the bowl is genius.
The elephant also turns around mid-scene.
Gail?
Who is Gail? It's CJ's fishbowl.
@@ronaldtipton6035 CJ named the goldfish ‘Gail’
This has one of my favorite scenes-Ainsley’s interview-and one of my favorite underrated CJ lines:
“What the hell made you think I wouldn’t scream where there were people?!”
"Was worth a shot." 🙄
wonderfully written and acted - pure class
“OW!” Lol.
"Have you been giving the wall a physical again?" - MASH
This was a great scene and she was a great addition to the show.
“Ainsley, would you like to work at the White House?”
“Oh, only since I was two.”
The quick exchange of dialogue on this show was terrific. I recorded every episode when it aired so I could rewind scenes with CC as many times as needed until I could get everyone’s lines. They talked over each other so much.
Too bad she didn't stay on too long
@@RinJackson they couldn't make her a series regular, because the cast was full. As a result, they lost her to CSI Miami. Sorkin later regretted not pushing to bend the rules in order to keep her on.
The way Rob Lowe says, "where?", perfect edge to it. He's underrated as a comedic actor.
Oh how I love Margaret so very much.
She seems to be West Wing's answer to Radar of MASH.
Is there fanfic of what Margaret did after she left the White House (at the end of Bartlett’s term, I guess)?
Leo saying: ‘Here it comes….’ 😂😂
"You want a glass of Scotch? Yes, please" Too bad I'm an alcoholic and don't keep liquor in my office. 🤣
The guy in the next office over has some.
"Would you like a drink?" "yes please"
Ainsley Hayes is my favorite character.
That was a classic scene
Purest gold 😊
I have always likened my DVD box sets to the first two seasons as blocks of gold. 😀
One of my favorite scenes in the show.
man I miss this show....sooo good
"Mr McGarry"
"Leo"
"Yes sir"
repeat ad infinitum
Brilliant, brilliant writing. Just superbly delivered.
Please more Leo clips. John Spencer was so great.
“Are you kidding?”
“No.”
“Are you kidding?”
“No.”
“Are you kidding?!”
“No!”
“Well what the hell made you think I wouldn’t SCREAM where there were people?!”
"...it was worth a shot."
There is no television writing like this anymore.
My favorite episode!
Only a person who has never watched this series would clip that scene in the middle. Shame on you.
Emily Proctor could not have done a better job in that scene.
West Wing was always classy, but the inclusion of Emily Procter in season 2 made it charming.
I have not watched West Wing in years. The second I saw the title of this clip I knew it was about Ainsley Hayes.
I liked Ainsley the moment she calmed down C.J. It was classy and nice.
This is one of the Sorkin-iest sequences in history.
Sorkin is a genius writer, but not many actors can deliver his lines, and few actors can add to what he has written in the way the West Wing actors did. The actress that played Anslie Hayes was terrific in the role, but when she went to that David Carruso police procedural, and the writing was tepid, she just became another pretty face actress. Quality story lines and writing are rare. This show was a gem.
@@cdjhyoung In her defense, anyone that can make CSI writing sound like it doesn't suck is some sort of hybrid of Hepburn and Olivier created in a mad scientist's lab.
Emily Proctor is gorgeous but good GOD her hair is amazing.
Thump "Oww"!🤣
Love it!
Took a shot🤣🤣🤣
Uh oh, it's a walk and talk!
Undoubtedly the best West Wing character. Too bad they didn't make her part of the main cast.
She is so so beautiful
Wow! Sorkin could write. Too bad he left the show.
Yes he could. He wrote in a way that showed what American politics could be... should be... opposed but working toward the honest-to-dog greater good. Without actually losing what made those sides opposed. Leaders on both sides that actually cared for the country and what they could do for it, what they were trying to do for it. Not what it could put into their pockets. If the reality operated with even half the integrity...
@@rcslyman8929 Sorkin wrote a fantasy.
@@totallybored5526”good writers borrow from other writers, great writers steal from them outright (even from themselves). After all, stealing from one writer is plagiarism, stealing from another thousand is research”
Ainsley was such a good character. They should've had more for her.
After Leo offers Ainsley a job, I like to look at an imaginary watch on my wrist while she babbles on before she realizes...
"It has to be _this_ White House?"
Here it comes . . . . .
Still one of my favorite scenes and not once did she call him Leo.
Can you please do the scene where Leo explains alcoholism?
Ainsley should have stayed onbthe show. That was a lost opportunity.
She did have other opportunities!
Honestly what more did Rob Lowe want out of this series is beyond me?
Allegedly the show originally was to be centered around Sam Seaborn but Martin Sheen was just too good in his only scene in the pilot so the focus changed to the President. So Rob Lowe became part of the ensemble instead of the Star & he was disappointed. Allegedly.
Can everybody please quote the clip we all just saw in the comments? Because we all need to just read it again, right? I wonder if those morons just quoting the clip live in a special place somewhere. The conversations in that town would be something special.
You have an interesting conversational style. 🥳
Unlike Mandy Ainsley was great addition
Love Ainsley
i love how sam sounds like a woman when he and c.j. both scream, leo!
Ainsley was a fun character. Was rather surprised and disappointed that she disappeared after some episodes. I think Emily Procter got a better gig on CSI.
That’s literally the reason she disappeared. It was because she got an offer for CSI Miami
she is so beautiful here, didn't realize how hot she was until she went to CSI MIAMI
I miss Ainsley Hayes!
This is what took the behaviour of the young liberal and democrat persons in this country to the level it is today. Just a sad case of US AGAINST THEM TRIBALISIM and very poor behavior.
I hate this, now i want to know what CJ's question was and i can't remember.
Now im going to have to watch it all again. Oh well. 😉
She thought she’d inadvertently given information about a grand jury to a journalist and she’d broken the law. She thought she was going to prison. Ainsley figured it out and reassured her she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Well, John Goodman played a Republican Speaker of the House in a favorable light and Alan Alda's Arnie Vinnick was very positive as a Republican. I do think you have a point, though.
@@timhorn0511 There was also the Republican who absolutely chewed out everyone else for trying to use illegally obtained copy's of Leo's treatment history. His "I will wait for you in the tall grass" rant was pretty epic.
@@timhorn0511John Goodman’s character was vile!
@@Elthenartwo different scenes.
