Henry McCord quotes from Madam Secretary

Henry

At what point would you be willing to violate the cone of silence between us? What would it take? Would millions of lives have to be at stake because that's where we are.

Henry

You're gonna reveal Russia's involvement in the Air Force One hack in hopes of getting the allies to fall into place. And if you do your job well, which you have a track record of doing, then the world will be poised to go to war with the country that is just unstable enough to take the bait. If you're wrong, do you really wanna be on the side of that?

Henry

A little early in the morning for the worst of humanity.

Henry

When I tell you I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it.

Henry

Whatever happens, we're together.

Henry

There was beer and there was strategy.

Henry

Honestly, I just want to immerse myself in mindless activities for a while.

Henry

Our founding fathers knew what people were capable of when they created the justice system. I think we should trust it to do its job as it always has.

Henry

So, how am I supposed to develop a cult following?

Elizabeth

Oh, I think you'll figure it out. Hey, listen. Did you remember you got to cook tonight? 'Cause I'm going into DC.

Henry

Right, the spy reunion.

Elizabeth

Yes. And since I'm the only one who can talk about work, I get to be the center of attention.

Henry

You're always the center of attention with me.

Elizabeth

Really? Tell that to your cult following.

Elizabeth

So we're fine?

Henry

We're fine.

Elizabeth

Totally fine?

Henry

Totally fine.

Elizabeth

We used to have sex more often.

Henry

We had sex this weekend.

Elizabeth

But we used to have weeknight sex.

Henry

Stop overthinking things.

Elizabeth

Is it my masculine energy? I've got too much of it? Because I know some men, they're turned off by women in positions of power.

Henry

I totally love women in power positions.

Elizabeth

Ugh.

Henry

I'm completely attracted to your masculine energy... Tell me what to say.

Henry

What's going on?

Elizabeth

I can't tell you.

Henry

Okay. Let me take the Socratic approach. Why did you take this job?

Elizabeth

Because who wouldn't take this job?

Henry

Hey, wise guy, I'll be Socrates.

Elizabeth

Baptism by fire.

Henry

You were bored at the horse farm.

Elizabeth

Was not.

Stevie

Is that mom talking?

Henry

No, actually, it's the State Department. And as the head of that, I guess, yeah

Elizabeth

Do not come near me, with that. Don't. I love you.

Henry

I know. Can you really not give work a break?

Elizabeth

I am. I'm-I'm shopping. It's weird. Nobody's doing a wedge heel this fall.

Henry

Right? Seriously, I called my congressman.

Elizabeth

What are you doing here, Norma Rae?

Stevie

Go ahead. Get it out of your system.

Elizabeth

I just needed the one. I'm good.

Henry

How'd you get here so fast I just talked to you.

Stevie

I know. I hung up and I suddenly realized what I needed to do. I quit.

Elizabeth

You quit what?

Stevie

College. Is there anymore of that?

Elizabeth

No, no, no, no.
