You are wanted. You are essential. You cannot be fired.
John Dean [to himself]
A fifty-two dollar phone call. Who the fuck is Martha talking to at two O'clock Johnin the morning in Los Angeles?
John Mitchell
Swollen, wet vaginas. We are good men. We are men of integrity. But we come from our mothers' swollen, wet vaginas with flaws. And a time comes when we need to declaw those flaws and to defeat our enemy. We must become snakes.
Mitchell
Martha: We are empathetic creatures. Now, some people see that as a weakness. But I decided long ago that I will say how I feel, and if that does not conform to the president's message, so be it. If that gets me banned off of Airforce One, I will fly commercial.
Winnie: So, you were banned from Airforce One.
Liddy: Operation Quartz. A covert manipulation of the democrats' outer circle. We will round up their fringe activist leaders and export them to black sites deep in the heart of Mexico. Each capture will slice a viper from Medusa's crown. Their leaderless ranks will wither away.
Magruder: Is that export as in kidnap?
Liddy: Forced rendition is the optimal descriptor.
Mitchell: What's a matter, Dean? You look like you got caught butt fucking your sister.
Dean: I don't have a sister, sir.
Liddy: You've never tasted your own blood.
Magruder: Pardon me?
Martha: He's your life. You roll over for him day and night. What is the draw? Really. Tell me. The subservience. Is it that he makes you feel like a big man, makes you feel wanted? I mean, your dick must look so big in his tiny hand! [Mitchell slaps her across the face]
Mitchell: Look. Let's just both take a breath.
Martha [slaps him back]: You take a fuckin' breath. My mama slaps me harder than that.
Mitchell: The election is in eight fuckin' months, Martha. If you can just keep your mouth shut for eight months, we'll be fine.
Martha: Get another wife if you want a silent one, or marry that portrait I made you that you never thanked me for, by the way.
Mitchell: You wanna know the truth, Martha? There's no conspiracy against you. There's no collusion hiding in the shadows. People just don't like you. That's why we can't fly on Airforce One. All those journalists that you call in the middle of the night? They're not your friends. They just can't take their eyes off a good show.
And I know your dirty secret. In the moments when you actually shut up, you know how to listen.
Mo [to Dean]
