Charlie Bartlet Knife Scene

Not only one of the best scenes in the series, but this is one of the best episodes of the series. I loved Shibolleth.

One of the best moments in The West Wing tv show.

Hurr, I'm a tard and I didnt realize until AFTER this was over that it's not from the movie 'Charlie Bartlett' I'm such a genioussss.

Breaks my heart every time.

I loved the moments where Charlie got emotional!

I know. He's always so unflappable and stoic and dry about everything -- then he gets whacked with a number like this one. The look on his face when he looks up at Bartlet gave me a lump in my throat.

Oh gosh, I remember watching this episode and this very scene.

I loved this moment.

I didn't see it but I am told that by the end of the series they were back together again....hope that didn't spoil it for you.

When i first saw this scene and saw that Bartlett was giving Charlie an actual present from the President of the US, I was going "Oh Shit!" with my my mouth open

... then he said the knife was from a silversmith named Paul Revere I was like "Holy Freaking Shit!!!"

That was an excellent scene!!

I wonder just exactly how much a knife made by Paul Revere for New Hampshire's signatory of the Declaration of Independence (the original and very real Dr. Josiah Bartlett - with two T's), passed on to his fourth great-grandson (the fictional Jed) who became President of the United States would be worth at auction? Like the ad says, "Priceless!"

Yeah, this scene gets to me as well. Best series since "Hill Street Blues". Written for serious grownups, and richly deserving of it's 27 Emmys.
