He gave him the knife!!!

Tears every damn time

Sorkin's brilliance in a minute and a half. Add in outstanding acting and you've got one of the best scenes in television history.

I never don’t cry at this.

They had such a beautiful relationship right from the jump. I like to think him and Zoey married someday:)

Goddamn it, I knew loved this scene but I did not anticipate tearing up over it on the millionth rewatch. Just perfect.

Best scene in that episode.

"Charlie, my father gave this to me, and his father gave it to him. And since my wife is barren and gave me no children of my own, I'm giving his priceless piece of American history to you."

For the record, Komin Yamada makes very good knives

It makes me cry. Charlie is such a wonderful character.

I could see that a million times and I'd still tear up and maybe even sob. We could have had such a GREAT Madame President, and our loss will never stop hurting me.
