Irresistible (2020)

Gary Zimmer: Oh. It's really beautiful out here. Really takes me back.

Jack Hastings: Are you a farm boy?

Gary Zimmer: Uh, no. Political consultant.

Gary Zimmer: Okay. Here it is... I want you to be the Democratic candidate for mayor of Deerlaken. Now, I know you probably don't think that you're a democrat, but after watching your speech, I can assure you that you are. And I would like to offer my company's services to help you do so.

Gary Zimmer: All right. Can I... be completely honest with you? No bullshit.

Jack Hastings: Be nice. My daughter's here.

Gary Zimmer: That was your daughter? With her arm up the cow?

Gary Zimmer: Look. Democrats are getting their asses kicked because guys like me don't know how to talk to guys like you. I <i>really believe that you believe what I believe,</i> that what is happening in this town is wrong...

Gary Zimmer: All due respect, Colonel. Anybody can make a speech. The real test is backing up your words. The things that you said to those folks in that meeting, was that principle? Or was that just a hobby? Let me know.

Gary Zimmer: Why does he need three guns?

Gary Zimmer: Don't put all the black ones in the center. He's running as a moderate, okay?

Faith Brewster: They're definitely ramping up, so I'm gonna need the full crew. If Zimmer wants to take a stand in Turdsville, USA, I say we bury him here... Sorry. Not a turd. Heart and soul of America.

Gary Zimmer: I am telling you, he is the real deal. It is like a Bill Clinton with impulse control. Like a church-going Bernie Sanders with better bone density.

Gary Zimmer: You gotta find me some more fucking Hispanics. Where are my fucking Hispanics? I need some more fucking Hispanics, Kurt!.... Hey, everybody. Listen. I am profoundly disappointed in the comments that I just made. My words and/or actions do not represent who I am as a person and...

Tina: A teachable moment?

Gary Zimmer: It is a teachable moment. It's something I think we can all learn from. And in that way, I feel like I have given you a gift.

Tina: You're in my heart.

Gary Zimmer: And from this moment on, I vow to make this office a color-and gender-neutral work environment.

Diana Hastings: Come on, Gary. We're the good guys, right?

Gary Zimmer: Yeah, we're the good guys.

Diana Hastings: When they go low...

Gary Zimmer: We go high.

Diana Hastings: Unless we also need to go low, apparently.

Gary Zimmer: Only to keep those who would go lower out of power.

Diana Hastings: So, when they go low, we go higher incrementally in relation to how low they went.

Gary Zimmer: Regrettably, yes.

Diana Hastings: When they go low, we go almost as low, but we feel worse doing it.

Gary Zimmer: You think they thought twice about making your dad look like a PTS nutcase, and I'm going low because I'm gonna tell the truth about the mayor?

Jack Hastings: His brother is fragile, Gary.

Gary Zimmer: This town is fragile. The whole area is fragile. Our democracy.

Diana Hastings: Oh, stop. We're not doing it, okay? People are gonna get hurt.

Gary Zimmer: I'm sorry, I really am, but sometimes good people have to do shitty things in service of the greater good. Isn't that right, Colonel?

Diana Hastings: Is this politics?

Gary Zimmer: It's not politics anymore, Diana. It's math. That's what an election is. It's just math.

We need what they get plus one. That's all. And if I can't get that by getting more people to vote for your dad, then I have to get fewer people to vote for Braun.

Gary Zimmer: I just... I thought that maybe you and I had a little something.

Diana Hastings: I'm 28. In what world would this... be okay?

Gary Zimmer: D.C. and LA. Parts of New York. Miami. Maybe Dallas...

Diana Hastings: Look. It wasn't personal. It was math.
