"I would really think so." I love Schiff's ability to deliver a line with deliberate and forceful apathy.

[@derrickstorm6976]

I don't think you know what apathy means 😂

[@truthseeker308]

@@derrickstorm6976Nope, he knows. The apathy, which is the best descriptor here, is in relation to the combativeness from the State Department official Toby knows he is causing, and consequently in relation to the headache he is causing Will, who will be on the receiving end of this combativeness.

Every time Toby laughs, an angel is born.

[@KellySedinger]

"Which one's Will?" Nice callback to Bartlet's difficulty with remembering names of new people.

[@TheStuport]

The House Library had a Motel Bible on their shelf....Outstanding! 😂

I think every time CJ gave him a “stage direction” he mocked her.

In the unlikely event I ever become POTUS, I'll use a copy of Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" when I'm sworn in. Don't panic.

I is the little things "it says no where that you have to be sworn in on a bible".... I didnt know that! So nice to learn new things.

[@SilverCyan]

TWW made up a lot of things but that is actually true! John Quincy Adams used a law book, and Thomas Jefferson, Calvin Coolidge, and Teddy Roosevelt didn't use anything.

I can see how Lord Marbury would be confuse Leo with the butler.

[@caileanm2009]

Fun thing is technically Leo is kinda a butler in way , the role of butler is kinda misrepresented in media, a butler would be the head of the staff in a large house so when he tells the butler to get get something done he’s not directly telling the butler to do it but to get other staff to do it , so in this way Leo is a butler, but in turn butler is a over simplification of the chief of staff’s position in the white house

I´d like to see a "multiverse" episode in which Frank Underwood (and his pals) worked during the Bartlet administration, just to see what would happen.

[@meder07]

What did Bartlett say to Josh at 1:01? "Thank you son" ?

[@user-zb6gy3sx4s]

I'm sorry, but I can't forgive the misspell of 'obliged' on the teleprompter at 4:32 😉

[@jimjolly4560]

I came to this comment section to say the same! 😀

[@greybirdo]

I prefer to think of it as an Easter Egg continuing the teleprompter typo running gag that started with ’…as we gaze into the 321st century’ and ‘the pound sign is silent, right?’.

[@stars9084]

@@greybirdo I was coming to say that...

[@davidlamb1107]

My problem was the apostrophe in "it's". The possessive form should have no apostrophe.

[@thomash.schwed3662]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice that. And people wonder why I don’t like TelePrompTers, or, as they’ve also been called, “idiot boards”.

[@Dontlicktheballoons]

I'm dying to know what lens they used for this scene

[@atyourservice]

Please don't die, but I'm pretty sure it was the round one.
