America First

Homeland 6×12

& Dar Adal: I’ll tell you now as I told you then— establishing trust, getting to know your prisoner is 10 times more effective than torture.

& Saul: What you did took balls. People like a President with balls.
    Elizabeth: Well, I guess it’s better than being called a bitch.

& Elizabeth: Am I that scary? Me? Elizabeth Keane?...
    Saul: You are. You’re a bad dream. A President of the United States who can’t be controlled from within.
Ω Ho-ho-ho.

& Elizabeth: What if I told you... I’m not ready for this, any of it?
    Saul: I’d say, «Good.» You’d be crazy to feel ready.
    Elizabeth: What if the American people made a mistake?
    Saul: They didn’t.
    Elizabeth: Does it matter if I’m not so sure?

& Elizabeth: What was his name?
    Carrie: Peter Quinn.

& O’Keefe: Today, I don’t even feel worthy of being here. Today, my soul is in crisis. I have failed you, and I have failed myself. 34 days since she became President. ....

& Carrie: I won’t lie to you. There are reforms coming down the pike, but no purges or loyalty oaths or one-way tickets to the gulag. You have my personal assurance on that...

& Saul: The worst happened. ... died. You’re still out there going a million miles an hour. You will hit a wall.

& Elizabeth: An official title— Senior Advisor to the President, and an office in the West Wing.

& Saul: Well. You look like shit.

& Dar Adal: You remember what Graham Greene said, don’t you?.. The secret services... they’re the only real measure of a nation’s political health... the one true expression of its subconscious.
    Saul: God help us all.

& Dar Adal: There’s something off about her— the President, I mean. I know. I’ve said it before. There’s something dogmatic and dangerous, something distinctly un-American.

& Dar Adal: Anyway. Another lesson learned... in a long life of lessons.

& Saul: You got to talk to her, Carrie. Stop this insanity.
