Quotes

Claire Underwood : We brought this on ourselves. We pushed too hard.
Francis Underwood : We've survived.
Claire Underwood : We isolated ourselves, Francis.
Francis Underwood : So what? We both know something the rest of the world refuses to acknowledge. There is no justice, only conquest. And let me tell you, we let them evacuate DC, we are done, Claire. We've lost.

Francis Underwood : Did they conspire? Did they use... terror... and this evacuation to cost me this election?
Vanessa Morrison : I'm not a fan of the general... but... that's a strong charge, and there's no proof to support it.
Francis Underwood : [chuckles] You know, what you people protect best is each other.

Francis Underwood : As I believe you know, yesterday we had something of a drill here in the White House.
Mark Usher : I know people are wondering what that was about.
Francis Underwood : Yes. Everyone except you. The announcement of the recess appointment of Judge Benson has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning.
Mark Usher : Good. So... We have an election.
Claire Underwood : Which you will not be able to win with another so-called October surprise.
Mark Usher : Well, we are way past October.
Claire Underwood : We certainly are.

Catherine Durant : I agree with General Braegher. While a succesful air strike against Ahmadi would play out well...
Claire Underwood : This isn't about the election, Cathy.
Catherine Durant : No, of course not. I mean, if we do this correctly, we can begin the process of dismantling ICO's network.
Francis Underwood : Take him out. If the president agrees, I think it's the best thing for the country.
Claire Underwood : I think it would send a very clear message to ICO.
Col. Max Braegher : In the short term, yes, but...
Francis Underwood : No other term is relevant.
