House of Cards 2×4

Chapter 17

& Francis: “To improve is to change...”
    Remy: “To perfect is to change often.”
    Francis: You know your Churchill.

& Remy: You got ’em close, but relax. Listen more.

& Francis: I should have thought of this before. Appeal to the heart, not the brain.

& Francis: If we never did anything we shouldn’t do, we’d never feel good about doing the things we should.

& Lucas: I’ll come back tomorrow.
    Gavin: Come here two days in a row and this is how patterns emerge. The FBI likes patterns. And we do not give the FBI what the FBI likes.

& Gavin: Tell me why I purchased Cashew.
    Lucas: I don’t know.
    Gavin: Companionship? Yes. But more importantly, a reminder that I am never more than one wrong move away from life in a cage.

& Claire: I understand you’re afraid of the consequence...
    — I’m a private. He’s a general.
    Claire: And my husband is the vice president of the United States. We will protect you.

& Gavin: I don’t even know why you’re going after this guy. He’s small-time.
    Agent X: That’s not your concern.
    Gavin: He couldn’t write a line of code to save his life.
    Agent X: He intends to commit an act of cyberterrorism.
    Gavin: Well, that’s intention, not capability. He’s not a real threat.
    Agent X: Maybe Carter talked things out with you. I won’t.

& Gavin: How much longer?
    Agent X: Until what?
    Gavin: Until I can stop.
    Agent X: You prefer prison?
    Gavin: I’ve given you eight child pornographers, three botnet masters!
    Agent X: But you still haven’t given us AVunit...

& Gavin: I’m not giving you my friends.
    Agent X: Then you can keep doing this. You’re a productive asset, Gavin. But the moment you stop being productive, no lawyer can help you.
