Remy Danton quotes from House of Cards

Remy Danton

I don't eat pork.

Frank Underwood

When did that happen?

Remy Danton

When we started lobbying for the meat packing industry.

Remy Danton

You're nothing. You're a parasite.

Seth Grayson

So are you Danton. Just in a nicer suit.

Remy Danton

When I left, Frank begged me to stay. Power vs. money, he said. Don't reduce myself to a tax bracket.

Jackie Sharp

He was right. And I doubt he begged.

Remy Danton

He was half right. Power is better than money, for as long as it lasts. But it never lasts.

Frank Underwood

Are the AARP here?

Remy Danton

In the lobby. The chairman told me they wanna support Dunbar.

Frank Underwood

They're just trying to rattle us.

Remy Danton

Dunbar's promising to save Social Security, go after Wall Street and government waste instead of entitlements.

Frank Underwood

Well, get 'em in here.

Remy Danton

Here's a list. The meeting's not for another 10 minutes.

Frank Underwood

Well, start bringing them in here. It'll take them that long to hobble over on their walkers.

I'm used to talking to candidates, not chauffeurs.

Remy Danton

I'm not a chauffeur.

Well, it's your hands on the wheel.

Remy Danton

I'm out, Jackie. No more politics.

Jackie Sharp

You don't mean that. It's who you are.

Remy Danton

That's what I thought, too, for a long time. I don't even know if I'll stay in D.C.

Jackie Sharp

What will you do?

Remy Danton

That's the best part: I have no idea.

Remy Danton

Sorry about Frank.

Claire Underwood

Oh, please, don't bother. I've had enough people say "I'm sorry", and I know you don't mean it.
