Kat and Deputy Secretary Bailey in “Unfinished Business”

Kat

Deputy Secretary, you should know that Secretary McCord and I take these allegations very seriously.

And, uh, you want to hear my side of the story, or have you done away with due process?

Kat

Oh, all of these allegations will be investigated fully if you decide to take this position.

What are you implying?

Kat

I am openly informing you that if an investigation confirms any of the actions as described in this document, then you will not become Acting Secretary of State. Furthermore, those determinations will most likely follow you in your next career, so... you may want to think carefully about your next move.

You know, I get that the rules have changed. But you need to look at my record. No one has been a bigger champion of women in this department. And I have taken bullets for this country, and now you're telling me that you're gonna run me out of town at dawn because a few women have no sense of humor?

Kat

It's a shocking violation, isn't it? To be confronted by something so unwelcome and disempowering at work? I'm pretty sure every woman in this document knows exactly how you feel.
