This video is a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin: the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines. This is not intended as a critique but rather a playful excursion through Sorkin's wonderful world of words.
Scenes taken from:
Malice
A Few Good Men
Bulworth
Sports Night
The West Wing
Studio 60
Charlie Wilson's War
The Social Network
& Tom Hanks 1993 Oscar Speech for some reason

Is that really an oscar speech? It looks like he's talking to a college.

Tom Hanks is the Oscar speech. Aaron is indeed giving a commencement speech.

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great ones steal from them outright. Sorkin borrows only from Sorkin

Short answer: on and off 2 years. Long answer: the last 10 years of being a fan and absorbing it, listening to The West Wing while falling asleep in middle school, watching episodes over and over again. Thanks for watching!

with the sorkinism of "do this, don't do this, it's entirely up to you" ( 00:30 ish)
"You can go to juvie, or you can be at cosmo's, 9:00 saturday morning. It's entirely up to you"

You could probably fill another seven minutes with just "the thing" alone

Try to get all the "Don't worry about it" there's at least one in almost every other episode of all his series.

What these scenes have in common is they're all brilliant writing, Make us happy or sad or make us like the characters more. So what if there was a little bit of recycling?.....10 years has passed between some of these clips, I'd be bound to use some powerful or memorable sentences again. But good video though.

So, Kevin....have you been watching The News Room to see if there are Sorkinisms there? You could probably add another two minutes to this... Great job.
