"You can't walk or speak the language. You don't have a dollar in your pockets, but you got yourselves a hat. So everything's fine."

One of the best scenes on the entire (really excellent) show. I love Toby.
-
@crazyphan18 Clearly someone who doesn't have a hat.
-
@technicolor444 So distinctly Toby.
-
I don't want to alarm you or anything, but I'm Dad.
So endearingly awkward.

Molly was killed when Zoey Bartlett was kidnapped.

I always liked Toby... but this scene was the one that made me absolutely adore him, the three of them are just so cute!
-
Richard was so brilliant with this character. Such tenderness, and yet he remains Toby. He takes nothing away from the character, but adds to it.

Aaron Sorkin!!!!!!!!!!!

@crazyphan18 Had to be an "oops", the buttons are right next to each other. It's a great scene, especially for those of us with kids. Mine turns 21 in a few months and I remember this moment like it was ten minutes ago. They hand him to me and he's just laid back, watching everything, very cool. They had to check him out, so I set him down and the second I put him down he screamed bloody murder. We haven't always been THAT close in the years since, but I've never forgotten it.

Molly was a young secret service agent who was killed in duty.

The West Wing could give incredibly funny moments, and then touch your deeper chords with scenes like this one ("Babies come with hats", genius!), of the one where the President said to his daughter "All you ever had to do to make me happy was come home at the end of the day".

True, it was great on both sides of the scope.

I'm only in the middle of season 5, but this scene is the only one that made me cry. I was literally in tears watching it (and it took me some time to recover!) I love it, and yes bravo Richard Schiff.
