Mellie and Cyrus in “Unfinished Business”

Mellie

I want a seat at the table.

Cyrus

You have a seat at the table.

Mellie

The kiddie table. I want a seat at the adult's table like I was during the election. Or have you forgotten how things worked back then?

Cyrus

We've all made sacrifices. Me as much as anyone. That was the election. This is the White House and, in the White House, this is the way things work.
