Daisy Grant quotes from Madam Secretary

Daisy

Bad news, ma'am.

Elizabeth

We're trying to rise above labels now, and calling it all just "news."

Daisy

Yeah, have fun with that.

Daisy

Classic Russian move. Blame your opponents for your own dirty deeds.

Matt

Why does that always work?

Blake

Did that work?

Matt

I don't know. I can't read that lady.

Daisy

Yeah, me neither. She's either chill...

Kat

Or she's gonna kill somebody.

Blake

Get your attention?

Daisy

Not enough. We're 5 million short. Donor fatigue is real.

Jay

Six years of war.

Daisy

If we fail here, we send the message that Syria doesn't matter.

Elizabeth

We can't fail. Search under the White House cushions for change.

Stevie

It's tomorrow night, and they really wanted a band, and Laser Dawn was perfect. They were one of the top cover bands in D.C., specializing in '70s covers, including and especially. Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way," which is my mom's favorite.

Daisy

Really? Not judging.

Stevie

Also Bee Gees, "How Deep Is Your Love?"

Daisy

The alternative is prison.

Prison? What do you mean?

Matt

Jail.

You're seriously overextended, Bryce.

You told me islands were a good investment!

Mom is all clear, but Joanna tested positive for the measles virus.

Daisy

No, that's impossible. She had the vaccine.

The vaccine protects 93% of people. That's why we give the booster at age 4. Because she is contagious, we're going to move both of you to a quarantined location.

Daisy

But she's going to be okay, isn't she?

We'll do everything we can to get her through it, but she's going to be very sick within the next few days.

Daisy

Is it me, or did this coffee take a serious nosedive?

Jay

Blake abdicated coffee duties.

Jay

We're expecting a call from the Chronicle asking for comment on an article alleging the Secretary had a previous intimate relationship with the president.

Daisy

Say that again?

Jay

Before he was the president. Our answer is "no comment."

Daisy

You realize it's gonna sound like she did have an intimate relationship with the president.

Jay

I do. Talk to Mike B.

Daisy

Wait, so did she?

Jay

(shrugs and walks away)

Matt

Hey, is anyone going to say anything?

Daisy

Like what? "Congratulations on your affair with the president."

Blake

Wait. We don't really think it happened, do we?

Daisy

I think it's none of our business, and, no, I don't think it happened.

Matt

You see Carrot Top's tweet?

Blake

You follow Carrot Top?

Elizabeth

You should have disclosed it.

Daisy

If it was any other candidate, I would have. But Miller is a racist and a xenophobe and a liar. I did nothing wrong. But I knew he would lie and distort and say there was collusion. And because he was a Republican candidate for President, millions of people would have believed him. And if he sunk your campaign and got elected, I wouldn't be able to look my daughter in the eye.
