Jackie Sharp quotes from House of Cards

Mrs. Underwood was brave enough to go on national television and admit that--

Jackie Sharp

And where has she been since? Deflecting scandal and hiding from the press. You called me disgraceful in The New York Times, Megan, and you have every right. But I also have the right to say that Mrs. Underwood is disgraceful, because nothing is more disgraceful than running from a battle.

Jackie Sharp

Mr. Vice President, what you are asking is just shy of treason.

Frank Underwood

Just shy, which is politics.

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.

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.
