Madam Secretary · Season 1
Oh, wasn't that beautiful? I felt like I just spent the morning in Paris.
Please. It was like one long celebration of the bourgeoisie, and now we have an endless array of tchotchkes to prove it.
Who's this Piper I keep hearing about?
She's like the female Jace, but actually cool.
Donna!
I saw your email. I am late for a department meeting. Can we talk after?
Okay, okay, well, did you actually read my email? 'Cause I'm pretty sure a massacre takes precedent over a department meeting.
Let's face it. A baby carriage ain't exactly a man magnet.
[laughing] I hate you so much.
But you know what is? [imitates puppy whimpers]
You're just playing on my fear of dying alone to make me get a that dog you actually want.
That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
You're single. You're lonely. What you need is a loyal, uncomplicated companion.
I know you're not talking about you.
Again, ouch.
Wait, you actually want to break up with Piper? Wow, you're an even bigger idiot than I thought you were.
You're an idiot.
All right, let's play "Who's an idiot?" later.
There's never been a more important time for us to insist our son to treat women with respect.
You are preaching to the choir. [checks the kids aren't around] But sticking your nose into teenage romance? That way lies madness.
[to Blake] Henry and I are going to go eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the freezing cold park. This is what passes as a date night these days.
Don't wait up for us.
Going to see that family was reckless and stupid.
You know, you asked me how I did it. I wasn't trying to do anything, just what I thought was right.
I already said, stupid.
You found hard evidence?
Sometimes it's like you don't even realize you're insulting me.
Daisy [shows Elizabeth a video] The cable shows are playing it on a loop.
With the oh-so-original title "Tackle-gate."
You know, how about we just retire "blank-gate" as a construction altogether?
Bad news, ma'am.
We're trying to rise above labels now, and calling it all just "news."
Yeah, have fun with that.
I've got good news and bad news. Um, and I'm gonna tell you the bad news first. So I don't want you to freak out, okay?
That never helps.
Jay: President Tejadas is only up by two.
Over an ex-soccer player who hates America.
There is so much more to Maynor Fonsea that that. He's also semi-literate.
We used to have a regular Cranium night with them!
You used to make people cry at Cranium.
Look, it's not my fault I can still spell backwards after two drinks.
How do I make the pain go away?
You kinda don't. You just gotta wallow in it for as long as it takes.
Well, this sucks.
