You can tell at 2:42 Martin Sheen forgets his next line and Dule Hill steps in to remind him that his next line is to Charlie thereby saving the walk and talk. Nice subtle work, Dule!!

[orangefox]

I love how when Charlie said “sir I don’t want to get in trouble with the First Lady.” The president immediately says, “Give me the medicine Charlie.”

[sistakia]

"We Love You Josh!" His fan club!

"It helps not to know him!" CJ got some awesome lines!

[emameyer]

"it helps not to know him" CJ was the best

[PhilVaglia]

Incredible they had the balls to pull off this shot and I only see the steady-cam operator in one shot @ 1:08 for maybe a few frames in the reflection on the bread proofing machines. It's practically unnoticeable, unless you look for it, but the fact they shot it that way is amazing. Outstanding cinematography.

[Elthenar]

Right after the bit at 2:05 might have been Toby's most genuine laugh of the whole show.

[Nastya]

I watched entire series in 2 weeks. For me 2020 is year of “The West Wing”!
I adore it!

[MJ.unplugged]

If people didn't realise what else was great about this scene apart from the obvious, is that this was the longest scene as single tracking shot atleast at that time. I believe it took 3 days to shoot this. It's considered one of the best cold opens of TWW. Source: west wing weekly podcast

[googoo-gjoob]

the *GREATEST* show in the _HISTORY_ of television

[VOLKOV]

TBF, the back medicine did, in fact, make him goofy.

[AndreAFirenze]

The Best Tv Show Ever. Ever. We want The West Wing Back!!!

[DrQuizzler]

Absolute gold!! ...so many great one-liners, so many clean setups and knock-downs, and all that delightful subtext, and in one of the most upbeat moments I can remember from that show, through it all, Toby is still Toby, and while walking and talking. Great stuff!!

[rustyAF]

Why is his writing so fucking good?

“Shut up. I want you to look calm while I tell you this.”

[ATLASHRGGD]

one the the greatest shows in the history of TV and one of the best walk and talks ever

[kelli]

2:34 Schiff stumbles over 'to disprove that...' but recovers quickly enough that they kept the take. I bet everyone breathed a sigh of relief that they wouldn't have to reset... again...

[clairegallas]

Such a great show. Ugh, those were the days...

[bigphilnyc]

You can't help but think of the walk and talk in Goodfellas as well...with a similar reference to the characters passing a kissing couple and making a remark. All talent. Love it.

[RacerGirl]

Hey there fella! She deserves a nice room and some supper! LOL

[smudboy]

2:40 you can hear Sheen forgetting his line and Dulé Hill getting him started.

[chris_]

At 0:48 as Josh gets to the top of the stairs, you can see Bradley Whitford do a few "steps in place" before actually descending the stairs, probably to give the camera guy a second to catch up behind him
