House of Cards 5×3

Chapter 55

& Yates: He’s hiding something... But it doesn’t matter. He’s modern. He makes the presidency accessible. I mean, don’t you want to see the candidate stay up all night?

& Underwood: Do the people around us understand what it takes?

& Claire: I know your speech.
    Underwood: But can you finish? You have to know how to finish, Claire.

& Matthews: You want the truth?
    Doug: Not interested.
    Matthews: It’s over. Underwood’s gonna lose tomorrow. He’s done. And when he’s done, you’re done. You’ll have nothing left. And then, you’ll just disappear.
    Doug: Thank you for your time, Governor.... What would it take to federalize the National Guard in Pennsylvania?

& Bartender: Woman?
    Doug: Work.
    Bartender: Yeah, well, nothing’s forever, man.

& Underwood: Is it enough? What we’re doing?

& Claire: You’re worried about the crowd we just saw.
    Underwood: Not the size. Their enthusiasm.

& Claire: Yes, but it’s different this time. There’s so much going on...
Underwood: I know, but call me superstitious... But we have done this every election we have ever won. Come on.
Claire: I wonder if I know what you mean.
Underwood: I wonder if you wonder. It was a hot afternoon, and I still remember the smell of honeysuckle all down that street. How could I have known that murder...
    Walter Neff: ...Can sometimes smell like honeysuckle?

& Underwood: Are we together?
    Claire: Yes, we’re together. No matter what...
    Underwood: No, not «no matter what.» Are we together?
    Claire: ... We’re together, Francis.
    Underwood: Then don’t ever bring up losing around me again!

& Underwood: They overestimated the turnouts in Pennsylvania by 30%...

& Underwood: It’s low.
    Claire: What do you mean, «low»?
    Underwood: Low.

& Claire: You know what this means, don’t you?
    Underwood: This is our house. We are not leaving.
    Walter Neff: ...The last stop’s a cemetery.
