We both lost someone who shaped the course of our lives - for good, but also for ill. And now here we are, unexpectedly free to take a different tack. We can do whatever we want, Doug. We've been entwined, you and I, like it or not, for decades now. I think we deserve to go our separate ways. The only problem is that we have something urgent to attend to called Cathy Durant. And then, we can finally be free. Do what we really want. Do what we need to do. What does Doug Stamper want?
Are you trying to erase him? Because you can't.
I'm not trying to do anything except be the sitting President of the United States. It's wrong to assume that Francis' ambitions directly aligned with mine, Doug. The best way to not be associated with his questionable deeds is to do good. That's what I plan on doing, anyway. [Stamper laughs] Oh, you find that funny, do you? Well, it's true.
I never understood what he saw in you. I mean, the outside, sure, but the inside...
LeAnn's death...
No! You never cared for her.
It wasn't necessary, and I told him so. And yet... Doug, do me a favor. Close your eyes. Please. [he does so, and she puts Frank's cuff links in his hand] He wanted you to have them.
