House of Cards 2×1

Chapter 14

& Francis: Assume nothing.

& Claire: You’re another year older on Tuesday. And we can’t have a vice president who smokes.

& Nancy: Birthday cards have started to arrive. A few presents.
    Francis: Thank-you notes. Inventory the presents. Anything valuable...
    Nancy: Goes in the conference room.
    Francis: Anything cheap...
    Nancy: Goes to the interns.
    Francis: You know what to do with the cards.
    Nancy: Yes, sir.

& Claire: I’ll cook something.
    Francis: No cake.
    Claire: No cake.
    Francis: No gifts.
    Claire: No gifts.
    Francis: I could do that.

& Claire: I know you’ll do whatever you think is best.

& Claire: I’m willing to let your child wither and die inside you if that’s what’s required. But neither of us wants that. Now tell me, am I really the sort of enemy you want to make?
Ω Pufff.

& Zoe: I wanna believe you, Francis...

& Francis: You did what needed to be done and that’s why I chose you, Jackie. Service background, clean history, photogenic. The whole package. But more importantly... ruthless pragmatism. Are we working together or not?

& Francis: Did you think I’d forgotten you? Perhaps you hoped I had.

& Francis: Every kitten grows up to be a cat. They seem so harmless at first, small, quiet, lapping up their saucer of milk. But once their claws get long enough, they draw blood, sometimes from the hand that feeds them... For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted. Welcome back.
Ω F & U
