    "If fitz has to call the pilots family i am invading baghdad "is an under rated line
  • @saintroddy
    Just realized that Leo's so invested in getting the pilot out because he was in the same position as a downed F-105 pilot in Vietnam and had to be rescued from behind PAVN lines.
  • One clip like this and I could rewatch all 7 seasons in a blink. Love this show.
  • @glenbateman5960
    "All the same, I'm going to check out that thing with the carpet." Brilliant line.😂
  • "Give me your parents' number, I never get to make THIS call..." Meaning the call with the good news.
  • @Jmatt455
    John Amos & Martin Sheen, both American treasures.
  • @andyknott8148
    "That's a job awfully well done Mr. Chairman". That's what I call a compliment.
  • @lelandrb
    Fitz's voice has a unique cadence to it, it's very confident and clear
  • @ZATennisFan
    I love the subtle piece of acting Martin Sheen does without words when he is told that pilot is safe...
  • @catfishcave379
    John Amos as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was brilliant casting; typical of the West Wing.
  • @NevillesGran1
    Ohh Fitz asked “How are you feeling” and followed up when Bartlet was vague because he was in the know about the MS! Never caught that before.
  • Leos reaction to the "diplomatic option" carries more weight when we later learn he was shot down in Vietnam
  • @LM-nc9ou
    Brilliant little piece of writing: President Bartlet refers to Fitz having to call the pilot’s parents. But he wants to call himself after the pilot is rescued.
  • @mizzle006
    The way I teared up when Fitz said Captain Hotchkiss was on the line.
  • @mxg75
    Points to Admiral Fitzwallace for being able to answer the President’s questions about the pilot without even looking down at piece of paper.
  • @CorsetGrace
    I wish we had Presidents with this kind of integrity. Wouldn't care which party. Just give me someone with integrity.
