Emily: please don't make me cry right now

This isn't journalism! I am so disgusted. President Kirkman is disgusted. Are you happy? You got your answers. We're disgusted with every single one of you.

Seth

Eli: I thought the CIA didn't issue guns.
Hannah: If you think I'm going in there in a stand your ground state without my gun, you're crazy.

Isobel: This is so typical. You always think that your work is more important than mine.
Aaron: That's because it is!

Reena: Are you ever going to leave your wife Mars?
Mars: Where did that come from?

Everything is a battle for her. She's always got to be right. This is a huge moment in my life and she didn't show up for it. I don't think I can get over that.

Eli

Can you just look at me, Isi, please. You're the most important person in my life. I don't want to lose you because I'm an asshole. What you did for Salcedo is right, and those things I said were wrong. You walk the talk, and that's something I struggle to do sometimes. But I love you for that more than you know. Isabel, please forgive me. Please.
I'm so sorry.

Aaron

Let's take a break from politics and focus on what really matters.
