Sundays 10:00 PM on ShowtimeBillions Season 7 Episode 11: "Axe Global" Quotes
Governor Dunlop: Prince is too smooth. Too confident. He's built different. It's like he ate the Great Man Theory and asked for seconds.
Chuck: Well, no argument there.
Governor Dunlop: But I'm not seeing enough evidence your guy is that different.
Governor Dunlop: Which is why I am here.
Chuck: And I am grateful you are, Governor.
Governor Dunlop: I don't need gratitude. I need clarity.
Torre: All of these companies are owned by Michael Prince or his subsidiaries.
Chuck: Mm, that's right. We hurt the companies, and we hurt Prince. Badly. Tag the companies as bad.
Torre: Ruin them without knowing if anything criminal actually happened. Do the investigation after the fact.
Chuck: I plan on using the power of this office to its fullest, and I expect you to do the same. Otherwise, it is wasted on you and will be given to someone not so easily offended.
Torre: You don't see me clutching my pearls. I don't even own any. Guys, there is an order to things. Learn of a crime, investigate, confirm, and announce so that only companies that are bad actors are hurt.
Winston: It's not about the work it'll take. That's fine. I'm Wozniak on 'roids up in this motherfucker. Nope. It's about ego.
Sacker: You just said that.
Winston: Ego, which translates into dollars. The whole thing is I am in the process of careering off of this algorithm, and for that to be the case, I need it to be a money-making machine.
Sacker: Which it is.
Winston: I get it.
Sacker: So, what dollar figure would you attach to the sublimation of that ego in order for us to get what we need right now?
Winston: It's a seven-figure number that starts with "Oh, shit!"
You should have told me you were coming so I could've had a strong, fresh-brewed cup of get the fuck out waiting for you.
