Veep · Season 1, Episode 15

Selina, Cliff and others in “Unfinished Business”

[to Cliff, the substitute Sue] Move everything off of the 6th for me, you can clear that. [walks into her office]

CCliff

Yes, ma'am. The only thing I need to move is the Senator Swearing-in Ceremony, so we're good.

[slowly walks back out of her office] ...What?

CCliff

The, uh, Senator Swearing-in Ceremony?

You said that everything was moveable, and that's not moveable. That's immoveable.

CCliff

Surely nothing is immoveable.

[turns to Amy] Amy, this is like explaining gravity to a chicken!

The Senator Swearing-in Ceremony is set in stone. She's the President of the Senate. She swears in all newly elected senators.

Right? You get that? You understand it? Do you need to Google it??

CCliff

[grinning nervously] No, no, ma'am, I understand.

I don't think you do understand, because you are grinning. Why are you grinning?

CCliff

I'm not grinning.

You are grinning! You have made a fuck-up the size of France, and you are fucking grinning about it!

CCliff

I'm trying not to, I'm not sure why my face is doing this.

Goddammit!
