The West Wing: Sam Seaborn defends Ainsley Hayes

[balletblossom254]

@TheRyman25 thank u so much!!!  I luv this scene, it has to be one of the best scenes in this entire show. could you upload the scene where Leo is talking to the girl who turned him in for drug use? I always forget which episode it's from. thank you!!! -3

[murtaent]

Lionel Triby was an old school bad-ass.

[amperro]

What did those guys have against her?

[SarignCleric]

Gotta love when Lionel says, "It's time for you to write your book now."

[kleydencyou]

Lionel Tribbey went all Scar from lion king "leave now and never come back".

[Tigerman1138]

You seem to have a lot of great scene. Do you have the opening to "In The Shadow of Two Gunmen"? It's the scene where the only surviving member of the shooters is having eggs at a diner and when he leaves he's quickly surrounded by SS, FBI, a chopper, marshals, and local law enforcement.

[cards0486]

I love just about every scene in WEST WING! Thank you for these treats. It's easier than hauling out the seasons of DVDs.

Especially love the scenes with CJ and Danny, and CJ and Mark Harmon's character.

"Sam, I don't know who you think you are around here, but you can't fire us."

Dumbass, he's the deputy communications director, working just a short distance away from the Oval. He's way WAY further up the chain than you two are. To put it in perspective, during the timeframe where Donna's in the hospital and Josh goes to visit, he goes off on a staff member about how he is the diplomatic equivalent of a 3-star general. Sam can't be too far off that mark, since Bartlet says what he writes.

[hamnat]

It's time for both of you to write your book now!

[eleriel]

"no, but then again I'm not a woman" BURN.

I've watched this episode loads of times, and I still can't tell whether Joyce and Brookline work for the White House or for Congress. They're named earlier in the episode as assistants in the Majority Counsel's office, which is a Republican office. Maybe I'm just being picky, but it always irritates me how I can't tell who they actually work for.

[Loiyaboy]

I love the scene where Walken tells the President; " You're relieved". Powerful, if sad. Great stuff.

[GeekLikeMe1988]

The first time I saw this I jumped out of my skin when Sam stormed into the office. Great moment!

[LostSchizophrenic]

Love this! As for suggestions...I'd LOVE to see the bit from "Issac and Ishmael" where Charlie explains about pride and how gang members aren't hanging their heads...

[chrisbrown456]

this is one of my most favorite scenes out of the entire series lol

[Shockwave678]

1 person didn't think Sam Seaborn could fire them.

[hancock63]

Could you post that scene where Sam goes off on Donna about her friend's grandparents being spies for the Soviets?

[TheRyman25]

@hancock63 Just uploaded it

[soccersoccer920]

Could you post every Ainsley Hayes scene possible? She is the BEST

[cshubs]

I love how Lionel supported Sam without knowing why.

[whynotbig]

not that i cant find it elsewhere but there is a scene of the president and a journalist arguing bible quotes  and id like to have this one with the real bible quote underneat it

[Tigerman1138]

I LOVED THIS SCENE! It was one of my favorites from the series! Sam starts off, almost too quiet to hear, "Who did this?" Then louder...Sam already knows who did this and is already getting ready to unleash HELL. He goes off, like a bullet from a sniper's rifle, and goes to the two men on the Hill. He mentions possible lawsuits, but the bigger part is that she's *one of them*. She works in the Whitehouse... NOBODY messes Sam or his people! NO ONE!

[virgileco]

@Tigerman1138 The thing that tops it off for me is how quickly cowed he gets by Lionel Tribby right afterwards. It's great contrasting.

[JFLD8]

Although a liberal, I really liked Ainsley. I wish the series kept her around longer.

[whitehat03]

@JFLD8

I agree. They should have had her blaming the Bossa Nova when the Supreme Court Justices were visiting the White House.

[kohstamojahn]

lionel tribbey was such a great character

[sparkster2]

Sam: "Were you the recording secretary of the Princeton Gilbert & Sullivan Society for two years?"

Lionel: "No. But then again, I'm not a woman."

LOL! (And I AM a woman!)

[Frazzzld]

Also, I like the scene where Josh interviews Charlie when Charlie first gets hired. Is there anyway of uploading that one too?

[TheRyman25]

@Frazzzld Just did it. Sorry it took so long i've been sick the last 2 weeks.

[Frazzzld]

Could you please upload the scene that babytweeze was talking about? The one where they sing He is an Englishman to Ainsley. Thanks.

[Frazzzld]

Thanks for uploading this scene. I had seen it before but now its gone so I'm glad you chose this one.

[beautifullion69]

Sam has pretty writing;)

[RosaEveningstar]

@beautifullion69 Sam has pretty everything.

[sarnieken]

Do you have the scene where there are shots fired at the press room?

[TheRyman25]

@sarnieken Just uploaded the scene, good suggestion, can't beleive I didn't think of it sooner.

[romanvanpersie]

@sarnieken Note to self: When reviewing recently seen scenes from this most awesome of shows, that I found particurlarly amazing..DO NOT SCROLL DOWN THE COMMENTS. :(

[sarnieken]

@romanvanpersie Hi, forgive me (early monday morning - brain not working) but I'm struggling to figure out what you mean? Thanks,

K

[babytweeze85]

The ending of this is so great with the He's An Englishman reference being brought full circle.

[gjm1953]

@babytweeze85 Hey, Tweeze, do you know where that scene of C.J., Sam, Josh and Toby waiting in Ainsley's office and playing a recording of "He's An Englishman" is on YouTube? I'm sure I remember seeing it, but now I can't find it!

[TheRyman25]

@gjm1953 Do u want me to upload it?

[andyt2k]

Lol, i like the fact they defend themselves when it's Sam then run away when it's Tribey talking, rightfully people fear that man

[guzzle2112]

Great scene...anything from the string of episodes with the west wing at Camp David and Leo's heart attack 

[TheRyman25]

@guzzle2112 Just uploaded the heart attack scene last night, enjoy

[guzzle2112]

@TheRyman25 Thanks....John Spencer showed the world what a heart attack looks and feels like.

[lordhawkeye]

love this scene!
