West Wing - Ainsley Hayes meets the President again (via Leo's closet)

[feral26]

Gotta love house of Atreus references.

[gjm1953]

I seem to remember a clip on this site which featured Ainsley, after being harassed or something, returning to the "steam pipe distribution venue" and hearing Gilbert and Sullivan coming out of her office. And as it turns out, CJ, Josh and Sam are in there waiting for her in a show of solidarity. Does anyone know where this clip is? I just can't find it.

[gjm1953]

@gjm1953 I'm sorry, that should have been the "steam pipe trunk distribution venue"!

[punknhead23]

@gjm1953 I've been looking for it too! Love that scene!

[SaladSpork]

lmaooo this clip always has me in hysterics!

[Songsmirth]

I don't believe bad things goes in twos but threes. Just like this episode. It's a horrible domino effect. :) Songs

"You're just in your own little Euripides play over there, aren't you?"

[pulidogs]

How can you not LOLOLOL!!!! Priceless!!!

[nyazn57]

HAHAHAAH i just watched this video 4 times over. Pure gold!!

[harrj162]

i love how she melts when he asks about her father

[jamie32501]

On reflection, she probably did compound the humiliation...

[9claudiajenssen]

Poor Girl! :-(

[homris]

Best. They really needed to keep Ainsley around longer.

[MegaObserver1]

@homris They wanted to, but Emily Proctor got a better offer to be a cast member on one of the CSI shows. She did make a guest appearance in a season 3 WW episode, though. And she reprised her role in a letter season 7 episode.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

Maybe the episode with the most funny lines, to go from the basement scene with "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" to this is just too much fun. The whole series is great but this is probably the peak of the whole deal.

[brontewcat]

Ainsley gets some of the best lines. Isn't Emily Proctor gorgeous?

[NessieCullen100906]

which episode is this

[gmdohiorep]

@NessieCullen100906 Season Two Episode 14 "The War at Home" Nice screen name!

[NessieCullen100906]

@gmdohiorep thanks but I didn't really choose it. This used to be a shared account and she got to choose the name. More of a Potterhead myself

[DejaVuSu]

One of my FAVORITE West Wing Scenes......so funny!!

Great post!!

[txmoney]

I really wanted to hear what President Bartlet was going to say to Ainsley. This is one of the great things about the West Wing. Just about every scene leaves you "dancing in aisles and begging for more". 

[Ave88]

Too bad they didn't keep her on the who longer.. She was a terrific character

[Kaalec]

What's amazing about this scene is how Ashley is affected by the President's charm when he asks if her father's proud. She looks up at him and instantly relaxes. That is a trait in all successful politicians in democracies. They seem to have an uncanny ability to affect people in person. Even, or perhaps especially, their enemies.

[lilly94white]

BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA :D

[defenderjon65]

i love the way the president looks back at the closet

[goldenageflapper]

"How ya doing, Ainsley?"

"My mouth is dry, my hands are moist, and I have to pee."

"Ok..."

[PrisonerNumber9653]

really some terrific scenes with her, wish they'd have kept her around longer.

[calleighduquesne1]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Love it!

[Dahrol]

Which episode is this, and from what Season? 

[Dahrol]

lmfao!!!!!

[sandyman714]

PRESIDENT: They won't let me smoke inside but you can pee in Leo's closet.

[billheartyface]

oh please...type out more of what we just heard...it's much better coming from you.

[browncello]

Euripides! Classic!

[HotPiratesWench]

i love all the greek tragedy referances sam makes.

omg poor ainsley.

[grumpytosnowwhite]

"How're you doing Ainsley?"

"I'm concerned about peeing on your carpet."

"Okay. Well, now I am too."

I laughed myself sick over that when I first saw it :) :)

[estiew2002]

me too! Ansley was awesome. too bad she didn't last long :(

[gmdohiorep]

@grumpytosnowwhite i do every time I see it and everytime I think about it.

[linzzyy]

Great banter

[eilidhw]

"Well she's in the closet Mr President."

hahaha I love this scene!!

[LAquarius08]

"I'm concerned about peeing on your carpet."

"Okay... well, now I am too"

We miss Leo. We miss Ainsley Hayes for leaving WW for CSI Miami and being replaced with... Matthew Perry? But mostly, we miss Aaron Sorkin's writing on television. Great as he was at the dramatic stuff, there was a certain playfulness he had with these characters on this show. Wonder how he would respond to these times...

[BetaArtemis]

lol and just how does Leo know that Ainsley's skirt is backwards???

hehe, must be having been a husband and watching Jenny trying all those dresses....lol

[bestirishfirefighter]

They wont let me smoke inside but you can pee in Leos closet!!!!!!!

Brilliant!

[BetaArtemis]

[emilyp1fan]

She's not innocent. She's a republican sex kitten.

[UniqueMakis]

[ag3150]

"Don't you have to absolve yourself of the humiliation visited on your family and the House of Atreus?"

[coramatrix]
