Annette Shepherd and Claire Underwood in “Unfinished Business”

ASAnnette Shepherd

[of her late husband] He was a good kisser, I'll give him that. But the rest was so underwhelming. I felt like he wasn't all there, like he wasn't... all in, so to speak. Of course, my first thought - and isn't this true of most women?- was to wonder if it was me, was I somehow less skilled than I like to believe I am.

Well, I can't really answer to that, Annette.

ASAnnette Shepherd

I can. It was him. And I bet it was never very different with you. Even you, the blonde goddess. Even with you. Am I right? It's really only dawning on me now, the sacrifice you made. I sort of pity you. What you must have denied yourself all those years.

And this is where I tell you to shut your mouth, Annette. You don't know anything about marriage, much less mine.

ASAnnette Shepherd

Tell yourself whatever you want, Claire. We both know the truth.
