Sundays 10:00 PM on CBSMadam Secretary Season 4 Episode 10: "Women Transform the World" Quotes
Doesn't it strike you as ironic, the two of us, in this building, talking about an historic decision that could deny a generation of women the same opportunity?
Ellen [to Elizabeth, in the West Wing]
Madam Secretary, you can't possibly favor a plan that if it was implemented here, would have you cleaning out your desk. Oh, and that is assuming there was a man willing to chauffeur you home.
Ellen
Ellen: I understand that you swim in a vast universe of gray area, Russell, but there are some of us that can still see a clear and distinct line between what's right and what's wrong.
Russell: Well now you're just trying to hurt my feelings.
Look, I'm not happy about it either, but other countries have declared independence and labeled themselves free while neglecting to give their female citizens an equal voice. This country we're standing in, for instance.
Elizabeth
I have faith Matvey has remained an idealist. And if not, then, yeah, I'm sure he still loves money.
Dmitri
I'm just saying, Afghanistan? 72 hours before a massive U.S. military operation? I mean, if you need an adrenaline rush, why don't you just, I don't know, stay home and take up race car driving?
Elizabeth
Matt: I don't want to say that parts of it are timeless, but that would not be totally inaccurate.
Daisy: Except the demographics have changed. We have a twenty percent uptick in attendance in women under thirty, who seem to think equal pay for equal work is a fine idea.
Henry: It's a huge risk.
Dmitri: And you have taught me, sir, that those are the only ones worth taking.
Daisy: Let me know when I'm oversharing. I've been alone with the baby for a long time.
Elizabeth: As a rule, just pull back when you find yourself wanting to share the color or texture *anything*.
Daisy: Wow, lot of changes since I was gone. Congratulations, Boss.
Jay: Don't be ridiculous. Blake is still the boss.
