The West Wing: Charlie busted by the President

[drwatson5050]

doh!!

[lemko59]

how dumb can both of them be?

zoe and charlie in the white house?

not good writing unless it's a nancy drew novel

[TheDoomArt]

And then the subplot was dropped and never mentioned again.

[earthlinggg]

GUS! :D

[b33p3rz]

How are you supposed to sneak out at night in the freaking White House lol?

[Xdohls]

THE MUSTACHE CHARLIE. HIDEOUS.

[sunnchilde]

Awkward! "Excuse me, sir, I'm just walking down this hallway because I just finished giving it to your youngest daughter."

This was the last WW episode with Elisabeth Moss with a speaking part, although she did make a non-speaking cameo in Leo's funeral scene in Requiem. She was committed to other projects during TWW's final season and her availability was limited. I have read that the producers originally intended the wedding story arc to be Zoey and Charlie, but because of Elisabeth Moss' unavailability changed it to Ellie and Vic.

Oh God NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Damn it! Poor Charlie.

[NaSMaX]

In his head...."SHIT,SHIT,SHIT,SHIT,S­HIT,SHIT"

[pepsibookcat]

:25 the exact moment Charlie poops his pants

[pierrelongshanks]

They should have gotten married. Call it "jumping the shark" but hell, the President's daughter doesn't get kidnapped either....One of the great "what if's" in American Television or at least the part of it I watched.

[cshubs]

One thing I love about this scene is how Charlie is speechless when he's caught. Even the smartest man would be speechless at that moment.

[basten2]

what season was this??!!?!? was it the last season?

[TheRyman25]

@basten2 Season 6 Episode 21 as is in the description. This was the second last season with season 7 being the last.

Aaron Sorkin should've written every single episode. Peter Noah's writing is noticeably inferior it's almost a distraction.

[pepsibookcat]

@thechadwasgreat The thing is that this writing isn't bad compared to typical TV. It's still better than 99% of what's out there. It's just that it pales so markedly after Sorkin's stuff. Sorkin's so great that he even makes normal good look bad.

[grunditgnome]

skulking lol



[9claudiajenssen]

I love Abbey in this scene! <3

[SGMD84]

It's amazing how the instant this scene begins you can tell it's not Sorkin. If Sorkin had written it, it would've been faster and witty.

[ZeDingoBlag]

@thechadwasgreat When I watch a TV show, I never assume two people telling the same story. Now if I watch through WW again, I'll notice. Thanks for ruining it for me :(

[TheSnoopy1750]

@thechadwasgreat Unfortunately, there is only one Sorkin.

Every other writer pales in comparison. By itself, without being compared to the master, this was a well written scene.

[narutodream12]

This is the absolute worst nightmare scenario for a guy. Not only was he caught by his lover's father, but that father is also the president of the US, and can order the secret service to shoot him.

[bluesboy25000]

@narutodream12 And your boss who has treated you like a son

[sunnchilde]

@narutodream12 He could order the 101st Airborne to shoot him! haha There are people in little known, shady areas of Langley that can make Charlie disappear with no record left that he'd ever been alive.

[GodofReapers]

@narutodream12 And he works for the President.

[nonsensicalcompound]

I like that step one in pretending it never happened is talking about it.

[griptaily]

@nonsensicalcompound

1st rule of sleeping with the president's daughter. You do not talk about sleeping with the presidents daughter

2nd rule of sleeping with the president's daughter. YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SLEEPING WITH THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER!!

[narutodream12]

@griptaily Third rule, for the love of God, don't get caught sleeping with the President's daughter by the President
