Elizabeth McCord quotes from Madam Secretary

Elizabeth

How is she doing?

Blake

You know in Wonder Woman when she fights off bullets with her bracelets? Like that.

Elizabeth

So the attack came from a rogue commander. That means that President Lee doesn't want to escalate this conflict any more than I do.

His pride will not allow him to back down. It is a matter of honor, especially because you are a woman.

Elizabeth

So he'd rather blow up the world than bow to a girl?

Elizabeth

I want to speak with President Lee.

With all due respect, ma'am, actions speak louder than words.

Elizabeth

I will not engage in retaliatory action without a dialogue. Until further notice, this is a rescue mission.

Elizabeth

I was thinking we go full whistle blow tour like Teddy Roosevelt.

Henry

And Eisenhower and Truman.

Elizabeth

But not Taft. What do you think?

Jay

I think it's full of character, just like the President.
