House of Cards 1×8

Chapter 8

& Claire: I think my husband fancies himself a bit of an architect.
    — Well, Jefferson designed Monticello.
    — And he also fucked his slaves.
    Francis: Luckily, I don’t have any, so that particular temptation hasn’t presented itself.

& Phil: On the library, are they going to put “Frank” or “Francis”?
    Francis: Francis. It’s the same as the name above the door in my office in the Capitol.
    Phil: “Francis” is better for libraries. “Frank” is better for bumper stickers.

& Phil: You know why I love rafting?.. When you’re on the water, all you’re thinking about is what’s right in front of you. Everything is in the moment. I don’t really have time to think about the past.

& Francis: I... I wish I could describe... Harmony. That’s the word that stuck in my mind. Harmony. It’s not about what’s lasting or permanent. It is about individual voices coming together. For a moment. And that moment lasts... The length of a breath. That’s what I think about my time here.

& Russo’s Mom: What happened to your hand?
    Russo: I got in a fight.
    Russo’s Mom: Did you win?
    Russo: Yeah, I guess I did.
    Russo’s Mom: That’s my Peter.

& Russo’s Mom: So you’re fucking my son.
    Christina: ...
    Russo’s Mom: Lighten up. I’m just messing with you.
