On the note: "Dear Matt. The toilet in the residence sometimes hangs so make sure to jiggle the handle."
The cackle I just let out reading this ROFL
I so rarely comment online, but I'm dying laughing at this - just *chef's kiss
Someone’s seen the Brian Regan episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
1-800-BUTTERBALL
On the note: "Make sure your intern doesn't have a noisy friend that likes to record certain things"
It's very hard to imagine the emotions of either man on such a day. One wakes up knowing he is stepping into great power and responsibility, the other knowing he is about to walk away from the same.
I always loved Ron Butterfield at 3:11 onward. The way he watches Bartlet to the car then turns to Santos. A changing of the guard but his face so perfectly shows the emotion of saying goodbye to Bartlet. Just an incomparable series.
The eyes say so much when he looks at Santos after seeing Bartlett to his car.
The last poignant word spoken in the Finest TV series of our Time: “Tomorrow”
People have complained in the past, that those words were not Bartlets signature-question: "What's next?"
But I think "Tomorrow" was perfect - "What's next?" was said by the new guy, who is now wearing the mantle of responsibility.
@@danielk5780 in a way, that's the entire point of the line. those folks just don't get it. Bartlet no longer has to consider "what's next", what in that exact moment is the most pressing issue.
After eight years, he can think further in the future than right now.
The final scene where jed bartlet opens the box with Leo's parting gift of the napkin from thier first ever political meeting with the words bartlett for American was perfect. But the scene where Santos photo falls off the wall made no sense.
On the note is the same advice Bartlet once received in a note left for him, “Go see Lincoln”
I always enjoyed the 3-second bit where Bartlett gets into the limo and he's going home...and now, the new President is the focal point from now on...and Ron Butterfield officially shifts his focus to the new man in charge.
I've always seen it as Ron getting a bit choked up to see Bartlett go but this is a great point.
@@westaquil You could be right. No question about it. Maybe the writer/actor wanted to leave the interpretation up to us. But to me, Ron Butterfield (the character) appeared to be a man who took his job extremely seriously. And his job was lead secret service agent to the current President (whomever that would be). The moment Santos was sworn in and Bartlett officially became the former President as he drove away...Butterfield instantly flipped a switch into his head and said - "This is my guy now." But, you could be absolutely right. Well thought out, westaquil.
Jed must be really depressed if he's forgotten Inauguration Day used to be March 4. It was moved to January 20 in 1937.
Right, the other thing is that Jeds family pictures are still on the resolute desk. This is an error, while everyone else is at the inauguration the white house staff renovates the oval office and moves every personal item out of the office and residence. It literally gets remodeled in hours so that it looks completely different when the new President arrives.
@@KingOfTheSeas_It looked like Santos’ family pics to me. They would’ve been pretty careful on a detail that obvious.
@@KingOfTheSeas_ I think they're Santos's family pics. The one on the right (the only one really visible) looks a bit like Zoe, but I've looked pretty hard at it and I think it's an older woman. That said, if you know of a shot from an earlier episode that definitely shows them as Jed's pics, I'm happy to be corrected.
@@ianboyle1026 There is a solid chance my eyesight is just bad lol
Too bad the writers weren't as well versed in history as Jed (or Sorkin)
I love in that moment where Abby knows exactly what is bothering Bartlett and so she says "You did a lot of good." As an actress, a wonderful performance by Stockard Channing there. You can see the emotion overcome her, the hint of a tear, the break of her voice. Just a very sweet scene where you imagine this couple, who have been together for so long, knowing each other so completely.
Jed Bartlett was a great president!❤
An understandable error here: The founders did NOT choose Jan 20th as inauguration day. Elections took too long in the late 18th century and the founders knew that travel during winter would be difficult. As a result, presidents were inaugurated in March until well into the 20th Century. Our first NEW president inaugurated Jan 20th was Dwight Eisenhower, and our first president to be sworn in Jan 20th was FDR.
There's a sort of sad tradition in TWW of occasionally getting historical details wrong. Sorkin used to do it too. (Unless, of course, we allow for the parallel universe effect, in which Bartlett really was president and various other aspects were different...)
What about Truman?
@@davidsingeisen7697 FDR predates Truman, and Truman was already president for his one inauguration in 1949.
@@ged424 I take your point.
More to the point, neither Jefferson nor Adams had any part in writing the Constitution. When the Constitutional Convention was being held, Jefferson was ambassador to France and Adams was ambassador to Great Britain. Franklin was at the Convention, so at least they got that right.
Abby saying, "Jed. You made it."
This has probably bern said already and I may have said it but anyway.
I love that President Santos reacts with "No JFK." Martin Sheen played JFK in a TV miniseries called "Kennedy". His portrayal is considered by critics to be the 2nd best of JFK in history.
such a wonderful show. Sure wish we could be like this again.
Technically Jefferson, Adams, Washington didn't have an inauguration in January, it wasn't until 1937 when presidential inaugurations were moved to January 20. Before that they were on March 4.
So which DA decided to move it to January 20
@@nicholaspowell7931 the 20th Amendment
Mrs. Bartlett is a whole mood and I’m here for it! 😂
Franklin Roosevelt. Before that Inauguration Day was in April
I imagine Vinick and Bartlett could've had a similar ending exchange
“When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Proverbs 29 verse 2
Bartlett should have thanked Agent Butterfield.
January 20th wasnt the inauguration date until 1937. FDR had it advanced from March 4th, to cut down the transition time between Presidencies.
I'm surprised there was no comment about inauguration originally being March 4, but changed for the 1933 inaugural.
Who titled this clip "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," a reference to MacBeth's bleakest existential statement? Are we meant to think that all the work of Bartlett and all the future work of Santos amount to nothing?
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
I'm assuming it was some intern.
To be fair, nothing DID matter, as the series ended, and the Bartlett Universe ended.
Electoral College has been the worst idea ever
Wrong
As opposed to putting every state in play?
You never should have revolted.
“Jefferson, Adams, Franklin”
Actually, none of them. 3/4 used to be the inauguration date. 20th amendment made it 1/20, as the ability to count the vote, certify it, and travel had changed things. The 4 months between the voters disavowing Hoover and FDR taking office put in stark contrast the length of that time on the backdrop of the Great Depression.
Many of them wanted it in January. But they knew that wasn’t really practical at the time.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow comes from the last line of a film from around 1971-72 starring Robert Duvall and written by Horton Foote.
I wonder if you’re trolling? Nice try, if so!
Just in case you're not trolling, "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" is from Shakespeare's Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5)
@@craiglachman1379 What the f*** are you talking about? I remembered the line and the film because it is a great one and so I posted it. And what do you think "trolling" is? Honestly, get a life?
@@BrianLanders Yet another "trolling" comment that makes zero sense. But, to respond, I actually did not know that this came from Macbeth, so thank you. I guess you and this other clown are what this world has become -- people eager to put down other people and doing so cowardly under the cover of an anonymous message board.
@@BrianLandersStill trying to figure out how my post can be seen as trolling. Just recounted something I remember. Did not know the phrase came from Shakespeare so thanks for the heads up.
Will Santos's speech from 2162 votes be uploaded?
At some point i imagine. I'm personally hoping for more clips from The Supremes.
And the one-minute ad
How someone did not catch the fallacy of the notion that January 20 has always been inauguration day is troubling. Huge miss. Perhaps it WAS time to end the series.
No it’s not. The series never tried to exist within reality. The fact that people go on and on about this is ridiculous. It’s fiction, it’s entertainment. It’s not a documentary, and it never tried to be historically accurate.
@@jasonkoch3182What in the world are you talking about? Most every scripted television show exists in its own reality; doesn't mean then that all aspects and rules of real life are suspended.
The West Wing did not portray the American presidency and this constitutional republic? Of course it did and even in its fictional world they would speak of Lincoln and FDR and Kennedy and the Warren court. So it's reasonable to expect the fictional president - particularly an erudite Nobel winner like Jed Bartlet - to know that the founders did not set January 20 as inauguration day. Perhaps you need another outlet to deal with your anger.
What was on the note?
Note from NBC that West Wing won't be renewed for an 8th season, making the Santos presidency the shortest in US history.
@@HAL_NINER_TRIPLE_ZEROshorter than William Henry Harrison?
@@MortenGallagher Santos didn't even make it to his inaugural ball. WHH lasted exactly one month.
