Madam Secretary
Sundays 10:00 PM on CBSMadam Secretary Quotes
Matt: Is this more Dateline?
Blake: It's semi-legitmate journalism.
What's with women and the fairy tale? Even if you grow up thinking you want to look life square in the eye, there's still this part of you that's...looking for the pink, bubbly, happily-ever-after thing.
Elizabeth
Foreign Minister Rojas: What about a membership at one of those big box stores you have here?
Elizabeth: Yeah. You bet.
Rojas: Inflation in Venezuela makes prices on basic goods very high. So if I could purchase a few things in bulk, even with the cost of shipping, I'd be a hero to my mother.
Elizabeth: Oh, yeah. I get it. I've got a pantry full of toilet paper. We're gonna make that happen.
Foreign Minister Rojas: Nevertheless, I must go back to Caracas and rather awkwardly withdraw my support for your memorandum until the situation is settled.
Elizabeth: Can you just stick around for another day? Just give us a chance to straighten this out? Anything you need, my staff will provide it. And...I might have a lead on a couple of Hamilton tickets. We'll get you up to New York. Stay at the Plaza Hotel.
Rojas: Eh, I've already seen the original cast.
Seriously, it's like The Bachelorette, but with righteous politics and world influence.
Matt
Now they're being groomed to run for office. Maybe it'll inspire some of our youth to put down Snapchat and aim a little higher.
Nadine [on the Colombian "Romeo and Juliet"]
Blake: I can't believe what it feels like to Juan-Luis or Soledad. I mean, when I was their age, I thought the pinnacle of pressure was being director of my acapella group.
Nadine: Now they're being groomed to run for office.
Allison: Well, you looked smokin' hot on your magazine cover.
Elizabeth: Oh, my God, do you see that? I mean, even in my own house, I am appraised like a show pony!
Allison: All I said was you looked hot.
Elizabeth: Allison, it's not a reality show!
I'm gonna assume this is somehow different than when Dad was called "arm candy" by a magazine, and everybody was just...okay with that.
Jason
It's a historic peace deal. If some silly nonsense about your legs is what gets your message out there, I saw work it.
Nelly
Daisy [watching Abby walk away]: Wow. Look at that. A personal life. I used to have one of those.
Jay: Yeah. Me too.
Elizabeth: Okay, that was a bad "um." What does that "um" mean?
Daisy [about media coverage]: It hasn't been as focused on the peace deal as we'd like.
Matt: Some pundit on Twitter is calling you Madame Sexy-tary.
