Nina quotes from Madam Secretary

Matt

Was that Win Barrington?

Nina

Yes. He's been trying to get in to see Jay.

Matt

No, what he's trying to do is circumvent Jay's assistant because he thinks you're a loophole. Blake!

Blake

Hmm?

Matt

Tell Nina someone's trying to loophole her.

Blake

I'm sorry?

Nina

He says he's a representative of a wellness advocacy group.

Matt

Wellness advocacy. It's Win Barrington trying to lobby Jay to legalize pot.

Blake

Ah, yes.

Matt

See, part of your job is to sandbag dudes like this who think they can work around the gatekeepers and waste everybody's time with vaporizers and bongs. Dude's a clown. Blake'll fill you in. (walks away)

Blake

Okay. Win was Daisy's fiancee. She broke up with him to start dating Matt. Well, actually, they were already secretly dating.

Nina

Oh...

Blake

By the way, I'm reading you in on classified information.

Nina

Oh yeah, no problem.

Blake

So on election night a few years ago, Matt was making a play for Daisy, but she went home with Win instead, so what you are looking at now is--

Nina

Two alphas, neither of whom ended up with the girl. Got it. So go ahead and make the appointment for Jay?

Blake

Oh. God, no. Win's a ridiculous pot lobbyist. I just thought you'd be interested in the gossip.

Elizabeth

I want to send her some flowers. Something that says...

Nina

Sorry you got shot, glad you didn't die?

Mike

I waited in a stupidly long line for what's supposed to be the next Cronut.

Nina

(rushing in behind Mike B) Uh, Mike Barnow, ma'am.

Mike

Thanks, Blake. (waves Nina off and hands Elizabeth the pastry) This is to keep you off-line for the two days, possibly the week.

Elizabeth

The article came out.

Mike

Drops within the hour. Stay inside, don't look at any memes or tweets, and for God's sake, don't read it.

Elizabeth

Why would I do that?
