House of Cards 2×6

Chapter 19

& Francis: Any pugilist worth his salt knows when someone’s on the ropes, that’s when you throw a combination to the gut and a left hook to the jaw.

& Jackie: I’m surprised you didn’t go for the waitress.
    Remy: You’re much sexier.
    Jackie: Yeah, OK.
    Remy: She works for tips. You run Congress.
    Jackie: Only half of it.
    Remy: That’s half more than she does.

& Doug: You need to make sure Goodwin takes the plea.
    Henslow: If 35 with no parole doesn’t scare the piss out of him, I don’t know what will.
    Doug: Then don’t try to scare him... Remove hope from the equation.

& Doug: I don’t know what to do.
    Francis: We need to invite a full-frontal attack. Then hold the line.

& Tusk: Garrett’s not a good liar.
    Francis: The gift of a good liar is making people think you lack a talent for lying.

& President Walker: Are you suggesting we take over his facilities?
    Francis: There is precedent there. Woodrow Wilson did it with the railroads for three full years.
    Linda: In a time of war!
    Francis: In a time of emergency, which is what this is. The country needs a leader, Mr. President. Give them one.
Ω Bids’re higher & higher.

& Lucas: I’m not guilty.
    Janine: You are. You committed a crime. Multiple crimes.
    Lucas: Not murder.
    Janine: Take the plea. Be good. Get out early.

& Tusk: You are on the verge of making an irreversible mistake, Mr. Vice President!
    Francis: I may well be making a mistake. Who knows? What I do know is that you’ll be calling Linda and telling her that you’ll accept the subsidies. You may have all the money, Raymond, but I have all the men with guns.
