Selina · Gary:Viagra Prohibitor? / Why, because when a guy's with me he doesn't need viagra? / No. / It means that even if a guy uses it... / It doesn't work? / They are saying that a prescription medication that is supposed to guarantee a strong and sustained erection in all men despite their age or their health is rendered ineffective by me?

Selina:What is? It could be a lot of things.
Gary · Selina:They used a nickname, ma'am, and we were not searching on it. / Which one? / Mrs. DoubtMeyer. / Well, you never mentioned that one. / Yeah, that means you're kind of slightly confused. You're oddly masculine. / It's a shitty nickname.
Selina:Oh, my God. I'd have more power in my hands if I joined one of those moronic Segway tours of D.C.
Selina · Dan:Dan, did your boyfriend know anything about this? / I was trying to use Jonah for intelligence. / That's like trying to use a croissant as a fucking dildo. / I thought... / No, no, no. Let me be more clear. / It doesn't do the job and it makes a fucking mess!
Selina:Get out of my office.
Selina · Gary:Gary! / Yes, ma'am? Yes, ma'am? / I need something. / Okay, is there anything specific? / I don't fucking know. I just need something.

Gary · Selina:Ma'am, I got you a little bit of ice cream. I thought that might be just what you wanted. / That is just exactly what I wanted.
Selina:Hey, we should send potus a postcard from Paris. What's French for 'shove it up your ass'?

Selina · Amy · Dan:So you are actually saying that you want me to destroy the policy that you and I have been working on for months, actually years if you think about it, Amy? / Yes. / Wow. / All right, let me get this straight. So you, Dan, who are absolutely against this policy, don't say otherwise, you want me to vote for it. And you, Amy, who love this policy, you want me to vote against it. Yeah? / This is some weird ass 'through the looking glass' shit right now.

Amy · Selina:On a happy note, we reassigned the smiling secret service guy. / Mmm. / It's one less grinning idiot with a gun you have to worry about.
Jonah · Selina:Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. / And yet you are disturbing me.
Selina · Jonah:No, no, no, no, no. You do not do this to me. Do not say that it is obesity. Do not say that to me. / It's obesity.
Selina:Okay, it's your bedtime. Get out of my office.
Selina:I had to pull the plug on clean jobs, I'm about to go to France, and now he gives me obesity.
Selina:The President knows how uncomfortable I am made... by fat people.
Selina:You want to know the secret to keeping weight off? Shut your fucking pie hole. How about that? It's not rocket science.
Selina:You don't masturbate in the subway, do you, Amy? No, you don't. Do you shit in the street, Amy? No, of course you don't. Because you've gotten ahold of yourself.

Selina · Gary:See, now... now I want to cry. But I can't cry. / Can I get you a cup of tea? / Yeah. / You know, I mean, this job has fucked me up so bad. Now I don't fucking know if I can cry anymore.
Gary · Selina · Gary:I wouldn't worry about it, ma'am. / — / I mean, you've only got four years of this, so... / Eight years, I guess, if we got reelected, obviously. / 12 if you run for president. / 16, two-term. / So think about that.
Selina:It's like a happy Nuremberg.

Selina:I want an expanded role in deficit reduction talks. I want a Cartier fucking dildo.
Selina · Amy:Amy, I'm so sorry. Is he speaking? Well, he told my mom he felt worse that time he ate gay Jap raw fish shit. Oh, Amy, that's a great sign, because that's a very complex sentence.

Kent · Selina:Am I supposed to ask a question now? Oh, sure. If you want. Fire away. And what would that question be? Well, that question might be what do you think is the best reposition to take? And what would the answer to that question be? And the answer would be standing right in front of you.
Selina · Kent:I don't think I was actually very clear before. / No.
Selina:My uncle used to have this saying. He used to say to me, 'Honey, if you're not at the table, you're probably on the menu.' And, Kent, I will not be eaten.
Kent · Selina:You do know that I am not running for office right now? I am, in fact, the vice president. I wouldn't dispute your title. I might question your role.
Selina · Kent:It would be great if you would stand up when the vice president enters a room. Oh, Lord, all right. Oh, Lord. There you go. Oh, at ease, Kent.
Selina:Everyone, POTUS has gone to bed. So let's make sure we make his dreams come true tonight by fighting until that last bullet.

Selina:Mm-hmm. You want to see where you are? Hi, Kent. How's it going? Thank you so much for bringing us the memo on aggregates. Now why don't you just go and fuck yourself in your own asshole?
Selina · Kent:Selina throws the lipstick at Kent and hits him in the eye

Gary · Selina:Gary's melodrama setup: 'I know you think I'm melodramatic, ma'am.' Selina: 'I know you're melodramatic.' Gary: 'Uh-huh. Our world has just ended.'
Selina:Selina snaps her fingers: 'Okay, that could be a signal. Kind of a silent click.'
Selina:Selina rejects a suggestion: 'No, that's like I squished a bug and then I said, Oh, it's so cool I squished a bug.'
Selina · Mike:Selina rejects the eyebrow rub: 'What if people think I have crabs in my eyebrows?' Mike: 'How can you have crabs in your eyebrow?'
Selina · Gary:Gary asks how crabs can be in an eyebrow; Selina explains: 'Okay, Gary, when a man and a woman love each other very much and it's the man's birthday...'
Selina:Selina: 'All right, well, standard issue pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, but subtly more pro-Israeli statement. I mean, hit F9 and print that fucker out.'
Selina:Selina at the pig roast: 'Walking the walk, talking the pork.' Then: 'That's a term I just coined today. Do you like it?' — referring to 'finger-licking fun.'
Selina:Selina: 'Why am I the only one wearing a cowboy hat?' — visual gag, Selina standing alone in a cowboy hat looking ridiculous.
Jonah · Selina:Jonah tells Selina she needs to get Catherine to apologize 'unequivocally and immediately.' Selina: 'Yeah? Well, go shit yourself, Long Tall Sally...'
Selina:Selina to Catherine on phone: 'No, honey. Not you, Catherine. It was Mike. He had you on top of his body. No, that came out wrong.'
Selina · Catherine:Catherine: 'His name is Rahim. He's Dilka's brother.' Selina: 'Dilka's brother?' Catherine: 'What? Do you have a problem with him being Iranian?' Selina: 'Okay, Catherine, you know that I am not a racist, okay? My boyfriend in college was a quarter Cherokee.'
Selina:Selina: 'I'll bring you back a sandwich and a six-toed husband.' (to Gary's aide about the pig picking)

Selina · Mike:Selina has been scratching her eyebrow for three and a half hours: 'I've been scratching my eyebrow for three and a half fucking hours. Where have you been?' Mike: 'I thought we weren't doing the eyebrow thing.'
Selina:Selina: 'She's getting her leak on.'
Selina · Jonah:The pig fat jacket: 'What in the living fuck is that god-awful smell, Jonah?' Jonah: 'Oh, my jacket is partially soaked in pork fat, ma'am.'
Selina:Selina: 'We all know what you need, Amy. I mean besides a big, fat slap.'
Selina:Selina: 'At work we actually call her Amiable Amy.'
Dan · Selina:Dan: 'I think I'm gonna go get a coffee. Anyone else?' Father: 'No, thank you.' Selina: 'I will help you carry that second coffee.'
Selina · Gary:Selina: 'I want to see the film and I will see the film. Gary, we need to get it. It's Five Easy Pieces.' Gary: 'It's 5 Broken Cameras.' Selina: 'Okay, it's Broken Cameras.'
Selina · Catherine:Selina negotiating: 'Thursday you're with me and Grandma. Friday you can be with the new boyfriend, okay? And Saturday. If you come home on Saturday night.' Catherine: 'Yeah, I'll check that over with Rahim.'
Dan · Selina:Dan: 'Amiable Amy? That is the best you could come up with?' Amy: 'Yeah, you know, I knew I should have gone with Amy Whitehouse.'
Selina:I'd be terrible in a hostage situation, even as a hostage taker.
Selina:he knows I've got a bigger role in the White House now, which means I've got a bigger dick, which means he can suck it.
Selina:Robust is a good word. And you don't hear it often, like bumptious.
Selina:How do you make two perfectly pleasant words so irritating?
Selina:And here he is, the man who can't take a leak without polling his balls.
Selina:Yeah, precise and surgical, like your lobotomy, Kent.
Selina · Gary:They don't salute indoors, Gary. — They don't salute indoors, Gary. (both simultaneously)
Selina:I was married to a Devil Dog, but he wasn't a Marine. He was more of a devil.
Marine · Selina:She's so funny. (Marine, clearly just being polite)
Gary · Selina:Small arms means guns, ma'am. — Oh, really, Gary? Not T-rex hands?
Selina · Gary:What the fuck? — This could backfire. — It's not gonna backfire. The gun could literally backfire. That's where the phrase comes from.
Amy · Selina:Ma'am, this could really chap Maddox's ass, too. — Oh, yeah, it would, wouldn't it?
Gary · Selina:You could chip a veneer and I don't really want that to happen. — I don't care. I'm going in.
Marine · Selina:If you don't mind my saying, ma'am, there speaketh a civilian. — All right. There speaketh a pricketh.
Selina:Oh, Jesus fucking Christ! (after firing and presumably missing badly or getting recoil)
Selina:Oh, how about that? Fastest gun in the West Wing.
Selina:Is it four or is it five? Or is it six? Or is it seven? You don't know, do you?
Selina · Amy:I pulled that straight out of my ass. — You were born for that moment. — I know. He's Iwo Jima. I'm planting a flag right on his head.
Selina:My speech is a face-melter. These buzz cuts are gonna flip.
Selina · Mike:Stick a thermometer up Washington's ass. See how much heat I just created. — Parting the cheeks.
Mike · Selina:MIKE: You don't look constipated. You look the opposite of it. — SELINA: What's the opposite of constipated, Mike? — Relieved. — No. Relieved is not the opposite of constipated, Mike. Hang up the phone, dummy.
Selina:VP sister act robusting the moves
Selina · Amy · Mike:Word cloud scene: 'robust' dominates, 'Sue' visible, Selina's name is tiny — 'It's bigger than collapse.'
Amy · Selina:I mean, Sue only has one name like Pocahontas or Hitler. — Or Moby or Bigfoot.
Selina · Cliff:What? You're not fucking Sue. — I'm Cliff. I'm filling in for Sue.
Selina · Amy:She has a return appearance? What does she need an encore for? — Yeah, it's an encore. Start popping your popcorn.
Selina · Gary · Dan:Gary-oke time. — It is. — Danny-oke? — End of an era, buddy. End of an era.
Selina · Dan · Ben:Does aggressive trump robust? — Well, it's robustier. — No, robust is like a rock and aggressive is like paper. — Oh, shoot, paper covers rock. I forget about that.
Ben · Selina:They're different words. And saying different words means what? It means we're not on the same... — Diet? — Page.
Selina:Oh, where is the great and powerful Oz, by the way?
Selina · Ben:Calculated? That sounds so... — Pussy-ass, that's what I was gonna say.
Selina:Oh, my God. I'd kiss you right now, but I'm never gonna do that.
Selina · Cliff:Office of the Vice President. — This is the Vice President. — Yes, it is. — No, no, this is the Vice President.
Selina:Amy, this is like explaining gravity to a chicken.
Selina · Cliff:You have made a fuck-up the size of France and you are fucking grinning about it. — I'm trying not to. I'm not sure why my face is doing this.
Selina:This is all Cliff's fault, that grinning fucking Ewok.
Selina:I feel like that porn star who had to do 200 men in one day. At least she got to lie down, right?
Selina · Jonah · Mike:This isn't a POTUS thing. Why is scrotus here? — Think of me as a cheerleader, Mike. — Oh, God. I'm imagining you in a bathtub full of rose petals.
Selina:I want to know how all your filmmaking is going. — Beg pardon? — And so on. — Your fishing.
Selina · Amy · Dan:Oh, well, that's all we want. We all want the big one, don't we? — Did she just make an innuendo? — Yep. Yep.
Selina:That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same... so help me Brian.
Senator Brian · Selina:I think you mean 'so help you God.' — Yes, yes. Oh, so help you God. — So help me God. — Me, God, yes.
Selina · Dan · Amy:Oh, I wish that was my cousin's name. — This is the worst small talk I've ever heard. And I'm including mine in that and mine is horrible. She's done worse. I can't think of when, but she has.
Selina:Well, that's how the cookie crumbles.
Selina · Amy:Amy, it's time o'clock. — What's time o'clock? — Time o'clock.
Selina:Wait a minute. Jonah's going in? — The men get the situation room, I get the shituation room?
Selina:Hi, gentlemen. — I hope you heard that joke. That was meant for you to hear it.
Selina · Jonah:George, comments like that are incredibly inappropriate when people's lives are at stake. — I've got to get a refill here. Old jumbo needs a refill.
Soldier · Selina · Ben:The eggs are back in the basket! — Yeah! Eggs-shak-a-laka! — In your fucking face, eggs.
Selina · NSC official:Yeah! Semper fucking fee. — Fi. — Fi. Fi, right.
Selina · NSC official:You mean one of our Marines lost a leg? — Yes, ma'am. His left leg, ma'am. — The entire leg? — I believe he lost from above the knee. — Oh, so they were able to just salvage his foot?
Selina · NSC official:Was he part of the operation? — Yes. He was actually due to be rotated out on the eighth.
Selina:The problem with being so close to somebody's ear all the time is that you begin to think that you can see inside their head, but you can't, Dan. You can't.
Selina · Gary:I lost a man his leg. — Please stop saying that, ma'am. — He'll bounce back. I got a feeling.
Selina · Amy:Well, maybe we could invite him to the White House. — Oh. — You know, once he's back up on his... — Sure, we'll roll out the ramps.
Selina · Gary:Can you make it a big one so you can stuff me inside of it and smuggle me out of here? — Of course I can. — And there might be a little raspberry surprise in them.
Selina:Look at the size of his coffee mug. Jeez, you could hide a baby in that thing.
Selina · Gary:Oh, there are not gonna be any veterans at this teen prayer breakfast thing tomorrow, are there? No, ma'am. No missing legs.
Selina:Who the hell is religious as a teenager? I was. I mean, smoke some weed, for Christ's sake, right?
Selina:Oh, my God, with the bags. It's always bags with you. Got to get out of the bag zone.
Selina:It looks like I'm tweeting when a guy loses his leg.
Selina · Amy:Selina: 'I'm stabbing him. I'm going to go stab him.' / Amy reacts deadpan.
Kent · Selina:Vis-à-vis jowls. / That's how he looks. That's his face.
Selina · Kent:Why didn't you just take the good one of me, Photoshop it in? / I can't airbrush history, ma'am. I'm not Joseph Stalin.
Selina:No, that's true. You're not. You don't have a tenth of his charm.
Selina:Oh, so now I have to have Dan and Mike, Rodgers and Hammershit, come up with a new song in an afternoon?
Selina:What are you laughing about, Jolly Green Jizzface?
Jonah · Selina:Oh, I came here to tell you that you're a meme, ma'am. I'm a meme ma'am? What are you talking about? Speak English, boy.
Selina:If there was a tsunami, you'd be genuinely looking at your phone 'cause you'd be checking the weather.
Selina:Oh, my God, yeah. Okay, yeah, that's a cherry on top of this whole turd cake.
Selina:Ooh, your leg. Could you put...? Fix your leg so I can see your whole leg. Fix it. Yeah. Okay.
Selina · Sue:You are incredibly valued here and I was wondering if there's anything we could do to make you want to stay with us. / More money, ma'am. / I'm on it. Welcome back. / Honored to serve.

Speaker Marwood · Selina:They seemed very excited about the possibility of a veteran becoming president. Not necessarily me. / Well, they seemed very excited about the possibility of a woman becoming president. Not necessarily you.
Selina · Speaker Marwood:You saved four guys from captivity. Yeah, and they weren't burnt, by the way. Chung's guy had a face like a Christmas ham.
Danny Chung · Selina:Danny Chung beatboxing at the political dinner — the crowd going wild while Selina's team stares dead-eyed.
Selina:That isn't impressive at all. He's just spitting, right?
Selina:I need a joke. I need a joke.
Selina:I'll tell you, that's one speaker I'd like to put on mute.
Selina:You just need to keep in mind that I'm not Selina Dion.
Selina:♪ Kiss a fat baby, Abie / Set yourself free ♪
Amy · Selina:You killed it. / You killed better than Chung killed, and he's actually killed.
Selina:I had to pretend not to like it to Kent while pretending to like it like he was pretending to like it, but he didn't actually like it and I actually really liked it.
Selina · Kent:Oh, you want Dan? / No, I want Mike.
Selina · Kent:Selina being offered Helsinki in exchange for Mike — her dawning horror and eventual capitulation.

Mike · Selina:Ma'am, please don't let him take me. I don't want to go to numbers camp. / I can't help you. Just let go.
Selina:You give no press briefings. Understood? / I become Mike, you become an ugly me.
Selina · Dan:Whatever. Just don't use my bathroom on Air Force Two. / There's another bathroom?
Dana · Selina:So cut to I'd set up a business importing pecorino cheese. Are you familiar with that brand of cheese? / Uh, I think... / It's like parmesan, but it's different. / They're very different.
Selina · Dana:And they would have made her an offer that she couldn't refuse. / Actually, the mafia involvement in the dairy industry is minimal. / You're right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be flippant. / Think about it. In 'The Godfather,' no cheese.
Dana · Selina:Dana correcting Selina on pecorino vs. parmesan: 'Pecorino.' / '...the pecorino.' / 'I'm sorry.'
Selina · Gary:A new Leviathan! / A Lev... a new Leviathan! / Isn't that great?

Selina · Dana:Our European visit just got turned into a one-way trip to hell and back. / That's actually a return.
Selina:But, you know, you're gonna have your bag forever, so what the fuck?
Selina · Amy · Jonah:Who the hell does he think he is? / 'George Dennis' of 'Le Monde' called the vice president a typical American hick. / I think it's pronounced Georges Denis. / I'm not a hick. Screw you, Depardieu.
Selina:Get off the plane. / What? / Get off of the plane. / Ma'am, we're taxiing. / I don't give a shit. Get the fuck off my plane.
Selina · Jonah:I cannot believe that you put that out on Tumble. / No, Tumblr.
Selina · Jonah · Dan:All of your privileges are gonna be removed. / Okay, but not the parking. / Yeah, the parking. / Wait, what? You have parking? / Not anymore. / But I didn't even own a car. I just had to sign a two-year lease for the Nissan Cube.
Dan · Selina:He should really be on suicide watch. / Yeah, make sure he goes through with it.
Selina · Amy · Dan:Post-Jonah departure — 'Better?' / 'It's all good.' / 'Totally fine.' / 'Great.' — followed by a long silence beat.

Selina:Europhobic? Seriously? What is that supposed to mean? I'm scared of subtitles?
Dan · Amy · Selina:So you guys all think of a card. I'm thinking nine of hearts. I'm thinking joker.
Selina:That was cold and hostile. Sure we didn't overshoot and land in Russia in the 1950s?

Selina:Because no one will feed me? ... I don't, actually. How baffling.
Selina · Finnish PM:It's an Angry Bird. Because it wants to destroy all of the pigs. / And why is it so angry?
Selina:Although violence in games is a concern. But in this case, it's great fun to kill the pigs in a game, of course.
Selina · Finnish PM · entourage:[Reaction beat: uncomfortable silence/pause after Selina says 'it's great fun to kill the pigs']
Finnish PM · Selina:Finland, you are hefty.
Finnish PM · Selina:Uh-uh. That is the wrong word. Oh. Yes, it is ironic, no? Because Americans have a much greater body mass index than the Finns.
Selina:Ah, which is why I have recently launched my Get Moving campaign, which is aimed specifically at the obese and the morbidly obese.
Selina:So that song, unlike your career as communications director, will not die. So now you must go and apologize for the apology.
Selina · Finnish PM:We should keep this causing offense and then apology cycle going. You could step on my dress. I could sneeze in your drink. / I could say you have a weird-shaped head. Which of course you don't.
Selina:Oh, the tennis player? No. No. I'm joking. I'm joking now.
Selina:I've been negotiating my ass off all day. And it's number five, by the way.
Selina:Cool it, kassi.

Selina · Dan or Amy:We need to rain down the full might of our nuclear arsenal on Finland. / Mm-hmm. / That's the other thing I forgot to tell you. We're gonna blow up Finland.
Amy · Dan · Selina:It's not like we can go public about the grope. It would define you. / Your tit being fondled by a Finn would be all you're remembered for. / You can't build a statue on that.
Selina · Finnish PM:This fish is delicious. What is this fish? / It is chicken. / The breast? / Yes.
Selina:Oh, no. Don't feel ashamed, Gary. Because, of course, you're not a ball sack. And not everyone can say that they're not... excuse me, I'm so sorry... a ball sack. Not even everyone at this very table.
Selina:Well, the weather here in Helsinki has been... hellishly cold.
Selina:Where I come from, we kill people for looking at us funny. We waterboard folks who haven't even done anything. And you raped my tit.
Selina:So I'm coming for you 'cause I'm an Angry Bird right now... and you're a pig.
Selina · Amy:I stand with the president. / I stand with the president? / Why did I say that?
Amy · Selina:Can we pretend you didn't say it? / What will people think I mean? / That you stand with the president. / I mean, there's not a ton of ambiguity with that one.
Selina:Well, who knew that being sexually assaulted wouldn't be the worst thing to happen in my day, huh? That's something for the memoirs.

Selina:What? / Our POTUS? The POTUS?
Selina:Okay, Amy, I do not mean to sound paranoid, but he is trying to kill me.
Selina:This is the unflushable turd that is left in the can for the next person... e.g., me.
Unknown · Selina · Unknown:Has POTUS gone nuts? / We can't have a crazy president. / In Italy they do.
Selina:I'll listen the shit out of every one of those morons.
Selina:I can't identify myself as a woman. People can't know that. Men hate that. And women who hate women hate that... which I believe is most women, don't you agree with that?
Mike · Selina · Ben:Oh, Jonah knows we opened a campaign office. / He came by my house... Wendy's house. / You let that unstable piece of human scaffolding into your house? / And you didn't shoot him?
Selina · Ben:Jesus. Fucking Kent. / I can't listen to that 'Joan Crawford' bitch about 'Bette Davis' any longer.
Selina · Amy · Dan:Is there a third door? / What, like a woman's door? A back door? No. / A trapdoor?
Selina:Why do I gotta deal with this pile of ass in the middle of the night? / Because we need to get first dibs on a statement.
Selina · Dan:Well, you know what I think. I'm a Christian. I'm not going to deny that. / Please, do not go religious. Go ambiguous. / By saying what? / 'Blah, blah, blah, blah... abortion, blah, blah blah blah'? / Sounds good to me.
Selina:Get the government out of my fuckin' snatch.
Selina · Ben:Is there a 'pro-I don't give a shit' lobby? / Yeah. You're looking at him. / I got posters, buttons... not really, 'cause I don't give a shit.
Selina:If I say that I am pro-life, then I'm a traitor to my sex. If I say that I'm pro-choice, then I'm a traitor to the president. Which makes me an actual traitor, by the way.
Selina:As a woman, I am not gonna put in a fuckin' sentence, 'as a woman.' I'm not putting my eggs in that basket.
Gary · Selina:I've laid out a line of fruit for you. / What is this? / It's the size of the baby in different stages during pregnancy. / It would take a brain about this size to think that shit's useful.
Selina:And you need to stop calling these things babies.
Selina:I accept your apology while retaining the right to fire the fuck out of you. / Shall I print that up on a T-shirt that I could give to you?
Selina:Moving on... and Dan may be quite soon...
Selina · Sue:Sue, help Kent finish polling now. / Okay, but if he touches my hair, I'm calling the police.
Selina:I really did want to see you first, Your Excellency, because I wanted to get a little extra time with you. / Let me just do one quick thing, excuse me. / Make sure you cancel everything, please, so I can get plenty of time with the cardinal.
Selina:Okay, so now the phones have taken a vow of silence.
Selina · Cardinal Branzini · Gary:That is a gorgeous color on you, by the way. / Thank you. So where is the VP's thinking on this? / Thinking... There's a lot of numbers being thrown out. Speaking of numbers, there's over 30,000 tiles... / That's not really the kind of numbers I'm talking about.
Phone caller · Selina · Aide:Frankly, ma'am, our position hasn't changed one inch. / Well, you know what? It's a matter of conviction for me, too. / Pro-life. / They're pro-choice.
Selina · Unknown:Oh, my God. / God, the lighting is so unflattering. / Can I ask you a question? Are you hiding from someone? / Aren't we all hiding from somebody?
Gary · Selina:She was from the A-D-CCP. Sorry. / And who are they? / I'm not quite sure. / Oh. / It's in my phone.
Mike · Selina:See that, ma'am? / I've got Cunningham. I know, he's pro-choice. / Life! / Got it.
Selina:Should we all quit and go home and go to bed 'cause you're so tired?
Selina · Kent:Let me see this. What is this spike right here? / The 'I Don't Knows.' / Okay, so I am looking at a page and I am seeing most of America standing up proudly and saying, 'I don't know.' / We were shocked ourselves.
Selina · Kent:I wonder who should be my campaign strategist in the next election. / 'I don't know.' / I will redouble my efforts to win your support.
Selina:The man's obsessed with me.
Selina:I believe that life is precious. / And so are the hard-won freedoms that women throughout America enjoy today. / As a woman myself,
Selina:Well, I said nothing. A big, fat, morbidly obese nothing.
Selina:And I'm not wearing a flag pin. Whose fault is that, by the way?
Gary · Selina:Look what I got. Look what I got. / I got a special treat for you. / Gary, you are my angel of baked goods. / Well, every angel needs an archangel.
Selina · Gary:You are always gonna be my bodyman. / Yeah. / Especially when I'm president. / And I've got eight years of treats planned for you.
Gary · Selina:I can put this in balls. Little watermelon balls in a bowl? / Definitely not.
Gary · Selina:Don't put 'Oprah' on. You don't like that. / Mm-mm. / You wanna watch 'Top Chef'? / No. / How about 'Project Runway'? / No. / 'Survivor'? / Yeah.
Selina:I can't watch myself anymore.
Selina:Selina: 'My second marriage took place in the rain. You can see my nipples in all the photos.'
Selina:Selina: 'All great speeches are done outside. Gettysburg, Mount Sinai... the speech I made in Philadelphia three weeks ago.'
Selina · Staff:Staff sycophantically agrees the Philadelphia speech was 'fantastic' / 'fucking fantastic,' then one admits it was inside — which means Selina's entire argument collapses.
Selina:Selina mistakes 'Alicia Bryce' for 'Alicia Keys' on the phone.
Selina:Selina yelps 'Hi-i-i!' when Alicia gets on the phone, doing a performatively enthusiastic greeting that is pure political artifice
Selina:Selina, still on the phone performing enthusiasm: 'Yeah, we are delighted too!' — to a phone that has already hung up.
Selina · Kent:Selina: 'Children are of no value. Forget child care.' / Staff member: 'Children are vital, Kenny Rogers.' / Selina: 'We're not all planning to die alone like you.'
Kent · Selina · Mike:Kent greets Alicia Bryce with a flat 'Sure.' — then Selina's aside: 'Whatever it is I'm selling, he is not buying.' / Mike: 'Don't worry, he's like that with all the humans.'
Selina:Selina: 'Doyle? You're kidding me. I'd rather get advice from a fucking Ouija board.'
Selina:Selina: 'She better have been in an accident.' (about Catherine being late)
Selina:Selina on her rewritten speech: 'Dan, this rewrite kicks balls and ass. It explains me, it really articulates me. It's beautifully put together... like me.'
Selina:Selina: 'I had a horse as a kid. Who didn't? I mean, have a pet is what I meant.'
Selina:Selina: 'Like I always say, nothing less funny than a comedian.'
Selina:Selina: 'If somebody takes a shit in your car, what are you gonna do? You gonna drop your trout and take a crap through the sunroof? I don't think so, buddy.'
Selina:Selina: 'I can say what I really think. You start picking this thing apart, and what am I left as? Some sort of optimistic warmonger with a soft spot for educated gays.'
Mike · Selina:Mike introduces Alicia to Selina and then immediately undercuts her: 'Like, who's this lady in the back row? I don't even know her.' — referring to a cancer survivor, then: 'Yeah, but not a bad one. An easy one, like finger or skin. Not one of the hard ones.'
Alicia · Mike · Selina:Selina asks 'Are they all as special as me?' — Mike and Selina both say 'No. No, no, no.' / Mike: 'This guy here is just an injured fireman. I don't see any scars.'
Selina:'Ooh, I just made an omelet, I'm a hero!' (mocking the 'Heroic Restaurateur')
Selina · Karen:Selina to Karen (a VIP): 'I loved you on Saturday Night Live. You were hysterical.' Karen: 'That wasn't me, though. But wasn't it funny? So funny!'
Selina · Alicia:Selina: 'I'm gonna see you soon, and that's 100%.' / Alicia: 'You can repeat 100% any time you like, ma'am.' / Selina: 'I will, ma'am... 100%!'
Selina:Selina, about to confront the SNL producer: 'I wanna know who's responsible for that sketch, you cock... tail napkin. Yeah, you heard me.'
Selina:Dan's solution to reading groups aloud: 'I'll just say them simultaneously. Like those Tibetan throat singers, Dan.'
Selina:Selina to Doyle: 'Don't get your panties all up in a wad. I'm just mentioning Alicia Bryce by name. I am not appointing her to my joint chiefs of staff.'
Selina:Selina: 'You want me to be some sort of a party puppet? You can stick your hand up my ass and work my mouth?'
Selina:Selina to her staff after Doyle leaves: 'What were you bobbleheads doing while I was just getting ear-fucked by Father Time?'
Selina · Dan:Selina: 'Did you give them this idea, Dan?' / Dan: 'I don't do offended, but I am... affronted that you'd even think that.'
Selina:Selina: 'I'll tell you what happens. They get bullied when they're little at school, and then they perpetuate the cycle by bullying me.'
Selina:Selina: 'What in the wide world of fuck do you think you're wearing?'
Selina · Catherine:Catherine: 'Why don't you change?' / Selina: 'Huh? Is that a joke?' / Catherine: 'Yes.' — followed by Selina's withering mock laugh.
Selina:Selina's internal monologue/rant: 'So I'm supposed to let a bunch of dead-eyed white guys... shit all over absolutely everything that I stand for.'
Selina:Selina, after clearly deciding to capitulate: 'I've decided that I'm... going to let them dictate to me. Because that is my decision. Do you understand that? I am letting them do that! Get it? Right! But they do not own me!'
Selina · Ben:Selina: 'I'm fucked, Ben. I'm fucked.' / Ben: 'Well, there's a remedy. It's an ancient technique that's been plied by loveable losers since way back. It's called begging.'
Ben · Selina:Ben offers Selina unknown pills from his desk: 'What is it?' / 'I don't know, I found them in my desk.'
Selina:Selina's response to Catherine's pep talk: 'Okay, sweetie, I am not a bitch, but thanks. And that jacket doesn't work, by the way. You look like a waiter.'
Selina:Selina on the speech: 'Just upload any draft, I'm going to wing it. "Blah blah blah, I am running."'
Selina:Selina: 'Get rid of this guy. He looks like Jeffrey Dahmer.'
Selina:Get rid of this guy. He looks like Jeffrey Dahmer.
Dan · Selina:Selina calls 'Lorne' at SNL and resolves the sketch problem — she'll just 'embrace it' and appear on the show. Dan: 'What about taking a dump in your car?' — callback to Selina's earlier metaphor.
Selina · Amy:Yeah, that's taken care of. / They're gonna drop it? / Yeah, after they do one more with me in it. I'm just gonna embrace it.
Selina:Selina uses Halo (Alicia's daughter) as a prop to manipulate Senator Doyle into supporting child care, speaking in a childish voice: 'Wouldn't that be good, Senator Doyle? You wanna tell the little lady it's a good idea?'
Selina:Selina asks to borrow Halo's coat for the speech photo opportunity, promising to tweet it.
Selina:Post-speech Selina: 'I know we got slightly derailed today with the universal child care, but now we are really back on a roll.' / Immediately offers Alicia's walk to Catherine to get rid of her.
Selina · Gary · Alicia:Alicia: 'When is the walk again?' / Gary: 'Three weeks from today.' / Selina to Gary: 'I really don't think I'm going to be able to make it. I'm so sorry.' / Gary: 'You guys were an inspiration.'
Selina · Speechwriter/Staff:Very inspirational speech, ma'am. / Come on, you wrote it, you can't review it.
Selina:This is what DC must have been like under Jefferson... except that would have been a horse, right?
Selina · Gary:Gary, what are you doing? You look like a newborn giraffe.
Selina:Wi-Fi. Do you have that in Silicon Valley?
Selina:Oh, you wanna do a 'selfie'? I call that an 'ussy.'
Selina:Know what your mommy and me are doing? We're having a very serious conversation about political issues, aren't we? And the issues are complex.
Selina · Amy (or Mike):We need to make that woman go away. And I don't mean kill her. / Kill her.
Cassie · Selina:Excuse me, can I please have my child back? Oh, my God, I've got the baby!
Mike · Selina:I'm calling this 'Pacific Trim.' You know what 'trim' is? It's twat.
Mike · Selina:What about this 'Alcatraz-matazz'? They look like two couches.
Selina:If we were gonna rate it on a scale of one to 'fucked', what would you say?
Selina:I lose women and what am I left with? I'm left with gay Latinos and Jews at college, I guess.
Selina:I've got to take this fucker out. I have to succeed where the Republican Guard failed.
Selina · Dan:It is called 'multitasking,' Dan. I do it every... Damn it. / You just typed the word 'multitasking,' didn't you? / No.
Selina:Mike, I am balls deep in this omelet.
Selina · Amy:He just came out of Gary's room. / No. / Yeah. / What is going on with that? / No, he... another room or something.
Selina:See, that's wrong. That's too young. No, you shouldn't make your first million until you're in your 30s. That's what Andrew and I did. It kept us completely grounded.
Selina:Poor kids, they don't realize they're all gonna be executed by the time they turn 30.
Selina · Melissa:You must be 12 years old, then. / I'm not, no.
Selina · Amy · Melissa:Well, I'm really looking forward to meeting Craig. / Absolutely, although it is pronounced 'Cray-eeg.' / 'Creg.' / 'Cray-eeg.' / C-R-A-I-G. / That's right. / 'Creg'? / Uh, 'Cray-eeg.' / 'Cray-eeg.' Very close. / 'Cray-eeg.' That's it. Well done, Amy. / Oh. You got it right, 'Ah-mee.'
Selina · Melissa:Child care is a huge part of my campaign. / Oh, no, these are Legos. / Craig believes that Legos are an important part of creative thought.
Selina:Oh, God. My brain feels like it's being fucking circumcised.
Selina · Melissa:Perhaps if Craig... / It's 'Cray-eeg.' / ...kept some sort of calendar, then he could write down his schedule. Then he would know where he was meant to be.
Gary · Selina:No, ma'am, that's Ron Jeremy. / I know, he's a great actor. / He was Scar in 'The Lion King.' / That was Jeremy Irons. Ron Jeremy is a porn legend.
Selina:Our withdrawal from Afghanistan has been more 'momentarily' than this.
Craig · Selina:Anything. Doesn't quite matter. / 'Congress,' 'legislature,' words like that. / Yes. Exactly. What about France? / So pretty. The museums are too big. / They could be smaller. / That's a great point.
Selina:If it's a phone and watch, just call it a 'Fotch.' Or a 'Wone.' If you wanted it to bomb.
Selina · Craig:The Smartch demo — shaking hands repeatedly failing; 'I feel like we're sawing a tree or something. Now we're milking a cow.' / Maybe there's an 'on' button.
Selina · Craig · Amy:Smartch, can you see for Craig... / Selina, you need to say 'Smartch.' / It's 'Madam Vice President.' / I know! / Okay. Smartch, can you see for Craig... / It's 'Cray-eeg.' / Cray-eeg... the MeetMeyer website. / [shows Sea World opening times]
Craig · Selina:These are the opening times for Sea World. / You know what? Guys, if things work all the time, it means we can't make them better. We have a saying here at Clovis: 'Dare to fail.' / Then that's a job well done.
Gary · Selina:College kids made it — it's a comedy thing where they represent you as meat and act out news stories. / It's making fun of our website, which is 'MeetMeyer' — M-E-E-T... / Oh, that's me. What is the site, 'Meeting Meyer'?
Gary · Selina:Some college kids made it, ma'am. It's a comedy thing where they represent you as meat and act out news stories. It's making fun of our website, 'MeetMeyer'...
Selina · Craig · Gary:Smartch shows pornographic content instead of MeetMeyer — 'Now I'm getting fucked harder that way.'
Selina · Someone:So who was that fucking me? Was that Jeremy Irons? / I think you mean Ron Jeremy. / Whatever.
Craig · Selina:Guys, you're not asking me to pull content? That's very much against our ethics. / The political reality is... / I don't follow politics. / But I do like your 'Tablets in the School' initiative. How about I give you a few to get you started? Say, 50,000? / That's a very generous offer. We appreciate that. / Bang. That's how fast we move here.
Selina · Craig:You don't follow politics, I thought. Or you do now follow politics? / We see ourselves as very much post-tax.
Selina · Craig:You are showcasing other people's content for free. Once the content providers start charging you, do you have a plan for that? / I think there's a misunderstanding. People want to work with us more than they want to be paid. That's a given.
Selina · Gary:Do you think this is appropriate? 'Cause when you do that to the vice president, this is what happens! / [Gary crashes/injures himself]
Selina · Amy:I'm taking these people back to dial-up. They think they're kings of America. / Well, in a way they are. / No, they're not. / I take your point.
Selina:You know what? I know you're walking around here like you're C-3PO with a big, brass, shiny erection, but I got news for you. This is kindergarten for cyberbrats.
Selina:If you're over 30... check it out. That's where you're headed, my friend, if you work here. / I've got to go to the bathroom. / They have a bathroom here, or do they put their turds up in the cloud?
Selina:Aw, it's a space toilet.
Selina:Aw, it's a space toilet. [Selina apparently encountering an unusually high-tech bathroom]
Gary · Selina · Kent · Amy:I've got to confess, ma'am, I've been in a lot of pain lately. It's my shoulder. The masseuse at the hotel this morning told me to take it easy... / It was a masseuse. / That makes total sense now. / Who did you think it was? / Kent, it was a masseuse. / Ah... masseuse. I buy that.
Gary · Selina · Kent · Amy:Why else would I invite a man into my hotel room? / Well... / Nothing. / Why are you looking at me like that? / Like what? / Nothing. It's a free country. / I know it's a free country. / I had a cousin like that. / Not to split hairs or anything, but it was a man. So, technically, it's a masseur, not a masseuse. / Right. / Whatever makes you happy. / It doesn't matter. / I don't understand what's... / Whatever makes me happy? / It's complicated, isn't it?
Selina · Craig · Amy:Oh... / Now, Selina... / Oh... / some people call me 'Madam Vice President.' / But you can call me whatever you want, Craig. / 'Cray-eeg.' / Yeah.
Selina:Okay, Smartch, show me the Clovis home page. / [Smartch fails to respond in the desired way]
Selina:Okay, Smartch, show me the Clovis home page. [long pause before something goes wrong]
Selina:You know what? Guys, I have to address this. This Danny Chung torture story. I know Governor Chung very well and I can tell you that these allegations are utterly unfounded... the words 'Danny Chung' and 'torture' — they don't belong in the same sentence. They don't. 'Danny Chung'? 'Torture'? Come on.
Amy · Selina:Well, ma'am, by denying that 'Chung' and 'torture' are connected, everyone now seems to think that, well, 'Chung' and 'torture' are connected. / And I wonder what magician got that little story out there?
Selina · Amy:In the ladies' restroom, they have some sort of an Internet toilet. I couldn't figure out how to flush it. It's got all these buttons that freak me out, so could you go handle it? Okay. It's the third stall.
Selina:Selina and team react to Thornhill: 'What is our take on this one-dick pony?'
Selina:Selina recoils from someone's Icy Hot application: 'My nostrils feel like Vietnam.'
Selina:Selina losing track of her staff: 'Where is Gary? Where's everyone running off to? Is this the beginning of the Rapture or what?'
Selina:Selina on Ericsson: 'He's Amy without a conscience and he's Dan without the... the five percent that needs to be loved.'
Selina · Sue:Selina to Sue: 'What time is the "unofficial" lunch that I am not having today?' Sue: 'Yeah, it is not officially at 12:45.'
Selina · Mike:Mike returns from the bathroom and claims he was 'focusing' on Selina's needs in there. Selina: 'I hope you were focusing on me in there.' Mike: 'Oh, no. I wasn't.'
Selina · Ericsson:Selina to Ericsson: 'That was quite a long journey for that joke. I admire your stamina.' Ericsson: 'And I admire yours. Those polls can't be easy reading.'
Ericsson · Selina:Ericsson on Mike: 'The answer is Mike McClintock.' Selina: 'Well, that makes sense, yeah.' Ericsson on Dan: 'He's all eyelashes and teeth. He'd make a good croupier.'
Ericsson · Selina:Ericsson: 'I wouldn't let you within a mile of someone like me.' / 'Fire her, now.' Selina: 'I hadn't thought about...' Ericsson: 'Then it's time you did.'
Ericsson · Selina:Selina on Gary: 'Do you really want him standing behind you for the next eight years like an asshole?' Selina: 'Oh, but you know, he's MY asshole.' Ericsson: 'You need a better asshole.'
Selina:Maddox has hired Jonah. Selina: 'Are you kidding me? That's the update? I'm talking about Maddox and ME.'
Selina · Dan:Selina: 'I should be the "three-mile candidate."' Dan: '"Three Mile" has negative connotations.' Selina: 'Yeah. Well, there might be one here too.'
Selina:Selina on going to the countryside: 'Peeing in a bush, being talked to on a porch. It's kind of like being a dog.'
Mike · Selina:Mike claims to have 'really important stuff to do' and can't go to the country. Then admits he could 'do it in the country.' Then admits he has allergies.
Selina:Selina in the car on the way to Maddox's: 'People like Maddox always have guns on the walls next to the animal heads. It's like a flowchart for people who don't know what firearms do.'
Selina · Maddox:Maddox: 'I want to thank you for agreeing to come and go fishing with me.' Selina: 'I can't wait to get out on the water. What kind of boat do you have?' Maddox: 'I don't have a boat.'
Gary · Selina:Gary to Maddox while fishing: 'That's a nice cast... right out into the center of the water.' Selina (under her breath): 'Shut up.'
Gary · Selina:Gary: 'I'd hate to be a fish in your river.' Selina: 'Shut up.'
Selina · Maddox:Selina begins her State Department pitch to Maddox mid-cast. He gets a fish on the line. 'Ooh! Oh, look at that! Wow, that is heavy! Reel him in!' fish escapes. Maddox: 'You fucking idiot.'
Selina · Gary:Selina to Gary in private: 'Can I be a complete fucking bitch?' Gary: 'Please don't talk about yourself that way.'
Selina:Gary accidentally reveals Mike's IVF secret to Selina. Selina's reaction: 'I can't have Mike getting "what's-her-ass" all knocked up and pregnant, becoming some sort of a dad during my campaign.'
Selina · Dan · Gary:Selina learns Jonah is Maddox's entourage. Selina: 'Tell Dan he needs to find Jonah now and poach him.' Dan and Gary: 'What?' Group: 'Jeff Kane is Jonah's uncle?' Dan: 'Oh, no!'
Selina · Maddox:Selina: 'I believe that the position of vice president can be a very rewarding one.' Maddox: 'Even though it has no power?' Selina: 'It has some constitutional power, and, by the way, I think that I can pull some pretty big levers.' Maddox: 'You exercise this power very discreetly, I must say.'
Selina:Selina: 'I'd rather be shot in the fucking face than serve as vice president again. Seriously, in the fucking face!'
Selina · Dan:Selina returns from the country house defeated. She just moans. Dan: 'All right, guys, listen. Maddox is running.' Password is 'mother_fucker.' 'So our next move is to stop Chung from running.' Selina: 'No.'
Selina:Mike is still carrying his specimen cooler to work. Selina: 'Oh. What's in your lunchbox, Mike? A protein shake? You degenerate.' ... 'I'd like you to do me the honor of removing your jizzbox from our executive branch of government.'
Selina · Mike:Mike: 'It's actually a cooler.' Selina: 'Oh, then, by all means. Open it up, let's have a picnic. I'll boil up my eggs.'
Selina:Selina's private assessment of her team: 'Desperate Dan, flailing Amy, crippled Gary, jizzy Mike.'
Selina:Selina (to Ericsson): 'I'm gonna shoot Mike and Gary in the head, I'll poison Amy, I'll behead Dan.' Turns and sees the entire team standing there. 'Oh, shit. What are you doing here?'
Selina · Ericsson:Ericsson announces he's going with Thornhill instead of Selina. Selina: 'Baseball Joe? The man's a vegetable. Seriously.' Ericsson: 'He can win.' Selina: 'I don't love your attitude. So why don't you go and...' Ericsson (interrupting): 'With all due respect...' Selina: 'You know what? You stop interrupting me, you stupid fucking interrupty guy.'
Selina · Ericsson:Selina fires Ericsson: 'I am un-offering you the job.' Ericsson: 'Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.' Selina: 'You bet it was. It was a huge pleasure to meet me.'
Selina · Dan:Selina asks Dan if he wants to be campaign manager. Long pause. Dan: 'Yes.' Selina: 'Yeah.' Another pause. 'Yes, I do.' 'Okay.' 'Yeah!' 'Yeah, mm!'
Dan · Selina:Dan says he doesn't mind being called a gigolo because he likes older women. 'They do. They have life experience. Not just the sexy stuff. Well, they've got that too, I can tell you that.' Selina goes silent and then coughs.
Selina · Dan:Selina and Dan begin to bond over dark secrets as the new campaign team. Dan says he has 'skeletons.' Selina: 'Oh-kay. Here we go.'
Selina:Selina's skeleton: She admits to setting her ex-husband Andrew's car on fire. 'I torch cars, you know... give me the nuclear codes.' (chuckles)
Selina · Dan:Selina, back at home: 'How did you kill it?' (the dog, to Dan) Dan: 'Sorry, what?' Selina: 'Nothing. It's fine.' Pause. 'We're good?' Dan: 'Yeah.' 'All right.'
Selina:They're just regular people, like you, Gary. Or Amy.
Selina · Mike:Thanks for sending me the speech, Mike. It's perfect... -ly shit.
Selina · Mike:Your first drafts are always terrible. — That's my fourth.
Selina · Clifford Powell:How do you do? So you're the guy who keeps burning my tongue.
Gary · Selina · Amy:Whoa, don't look now, but nine o'clock, ex-hubby. — You see that tie? It's hideous. — Horrendous. — Suits him. — Yeah, it does.
Selina:Andrew Meyer, dick on fire.
Selina · Gary:She was a vicious bitch and a fuckin' drunk. — Yep. — But that's sad news.
Selina:You don't have to do the whispering. It's just me.
Staff member · Selina:Ma'am, there's been a shooting. — Yeah? A shooting. Yeah. Where do you get your news, from a guy on a horse?
Selina:Is this gonna completely overshadow my Turville jobs announcement, or what?
Gary · Selina:Okay, remember her husband fondled your left breast? What do you think, I'm gonna forget that? I've got a thumbprint there.
Minna · Selina:I am giving the keynote address, I am giving a talk on economics. 'The Finnish Wilf.' — Er, what...? — It's 'wolf.' — 'The Finnish Wolf.' — Yes. — And there is my book. — And what is that called? — 'The Finnish Wilf.' — It's 'wolf.' — Yeah, I got it.
Selina:You know, sometimes I feel like there's a nine-year-old boy inside of you just operating the levers.
Ben · Selina · Mike:Minimum four-second handshake. — Minimum six-second handshake, and I want a toothy smile. — Perfect. Because we've got to prove they both don't hate each other.
Selina:And if there was, by the way, it would be a 'Meyer-Maddox' feud.
Minna · Selina:I'm sorry to say, in your country you have too many guns... — To give guns to babies? — Well, only in Arizona.
Selina · Minna:No, of course not. It would be dangerous. — Yeah. Bang! No, it would be awful. — Awful.
Selina:He's not just a personal trainer, he's like a personal Jesus.
Selina:Maybe you should work on North Korea first... get them to relax, and work your way up to Amy.
Selina:I haven't bent this far since I was five centimeters dilated.
Selina · Ray:Am I glowing? I feel like I'm glowing. — How about we turn out the lights and see? — Can I trust you? — I don't know. Can you?
Mike · Selina · Ray:Mike interrupts the workout/liaison with paperwork for Selina to sign, she's clearly mid-exercise or compromised, he reads the statement as she writhes on the floor.
Selina · Ray · Amy:Touch this. Touch me right here. — Oh, Ray. Nice work. — Seriously, isn't that incredible? — Here, Amy, touch this. Feel.
Selina:Well, so can I. I can just take off my shoes.
Selina:I spend more time with you than any of my other friends. That technically makes you my best friend.
Selina · Amy:I think he's kind of cute. Do you? — Yeah, he's very cute. — We're fucking.
Amy · Selina:Don't worry. I can get rid of that in a matter of an hour. — No, no, no. — The chicken's off the menu. — What? No, I don't want to get rid of him.
Amy · Selina:Because you want to be president? — Well, I mean, I can get rid of him then... I guess.
Selina:No, 'cause he'll be, 'Oh, a crisis. I need a third iPad.'
Selina · Ben · Dan:Ben, can we slap another restraining order on this creepy bellboy? — No problem. — See that? — Or how about a drone strike?
Security · Selina:Stay small, Selina! — Oh, my God! My hair! My hair! My hair!
Selina:Wait a minute. We've got to stop the car. I've got 7,000 jobs to announce.
Catherine · Selina:No, I hate violence. — Honey, that means you're really good at it and you didn't even know it.
Selina:Now I feel like you're attacking me. It's kind of irritating. Okay, just back off.
Kent · Sue · Selina:Kent is passed through a chain of phone handlers — Sue to Davison — like an absurd telephone switchboard.
Selina:Okay... I think Kent is high.
Selina:Do we have to talk guns? I wish we were still on abortion. That was easy.
Selina:That Finnish fart!
Selina:Maybe I did say that to her, but there was no reason for her to be talking about it.
Selina:I need R&R. I need rest. I need 'Ray-creation.' Just had it.
Dan · Unknown Aide · Selina:Kids... can we all just agree here that Selina's fucking Ray? I mean, only a moron couldn't see that. — Selina and Ray are fucking? — Uh, I'm still on speaker here. And so is Mr. Davison.
Selina:Oh, my God, my hair's caught in the desk. Wait, what is this on my forehead? — The imprint of the bath mat. — It is? Really? God, this is so humiliating. In years to come, a therapist will have me acting this out with dolls.
Selina · Catherine:I'm in the middle of working on... What's with your hair? It's all messed... — oh, my God. — What? — That is not your shoe.
Gary · Selina · Andrew:Okay, everybody is very tired, it was a long day. Nobody likes sex, let's disperse. There is a jazz trio downstairs that's fantastic. — Who likes jazz? — I love jazz. — Kenny G can blow the storm up. — Great. I was talking about the others.
Selina:Oh, my God, it's the Finnish Funnelmouth.
Minna · Selina · Gary:There is on your team a leaking gentleman. I don't know his name, but he is like in central Europe there is a bad companion for Santa Claus. Here he comes on Christmas and, if the children are naughty, he takes away the presents. — Rudolph. — No, no.
Selina:In your country, people fuck snow. And I hope you understand that I say that with the utmost respect.
Selina:I'm under enormous pressure having been attacked by the Statue of Liberty earlier this day.
Minna · Gary · Selina:Good night, my room is just next door. I want for your comfort to make you aware that today I purchased ear pligs. — Ear plugs. — Oh, ear plugs. Okay. — Not every country likes to eavesdrop. — Yes. It's a joke. — Yeah, it's a good one. — No, we got it.
Selina:Music to my ears, Andrew.
Selina:Dan, I am not gonna talk to radio stations that have eagles in the logo or call themselves the 'voice of reason.'
Amy · Selina:Women with guns are less threatening, ma'am. — Yeah, exactly, because they're not nut jobs. Case in point, by the way.
Selina · Gary:Yeah, but he's on my good side. — I need to be on that side. — No, that's your good side. — Why can't you ever remember what my good side is?
Selina · Dan · Mike:'Veep's campaign needs a helping hand.' — Jesus. — How the fuck do you screw up a handshake, Mike? It's four fingers and a thumb.
Amy · Dan · Selina:So, look at guns, but don't touch guns. — Oh, God. — Don't even say the word 'gun.' Use words like 'protection' or 'assurance.' — But in context. Don't say, 'Freeze, or I'll protect your fucking head off.'
Selina:Oh, wow. Look at this well-defended picnic table. Covered in all these... things that defend.
Selina:I'm going to tell you something so uncanny. This color is exactly Catherine's favorite color when she was a little girl... although this would not have been a good present for her, 'cause she was a toddler with a temper.
Catherine · Selina:These are, like, tommy guns. — Yeah, from an old-timey movie. — Don't you love the old-timey movies? — Oh, don't shoot!
Gary · Gun show attendee · Selina · Catherine:Someone's face is on a T-shirt. Are you kidding me? — I wish my daughter could bust heads like you, young lady. — Is that my face? — Yeah, it is.
Gary · Selina · Amy:She is not gonna like that. — She's an adult. — Are you talking about Catherine or Selina?
Selina · Gun show attendee:'Make my day.' — Thank you very much, everyone. — Catherine! Catherine! — Just one freaky dyke after another. — Yeah.
Ben · Selina:Go left on Jefferson. We fixed the traffic lights. We diverted a parade for Polish Americans. We put more cops on the route. — I've seen that part of town. There's nothing down there worth stealing.
Andrew · Selina:Talk about the GDP. Nobody knows what that means. — Do you know what that means? — Yes, I...
Selina:I've got Kent on the phone. I think I put it on speaker, but I might have taken a photo instead.
Kent · Selina:Nobody's gonna ask a question. — Exactly right.
Selina:Oh, my God, it's the big bad 'wilf.'
Selina:The men and women who are behind the umbrella skeleton. If you think about the engineering of it, it's a beautiful thing to behold.
Selina · Minna:We formed a partnership with Turville Industries, and I'd like to announce that there are gonna be some new jobs in the Detroit area. — Yeah, but it's just one component in the overall picture. It's not a big deal in and of itself. — Oh, no. No. It is 7,000 new jobs. — Please, stand. Don't be so modest.
Selina · Amy · Catherine:Well, if we kill everybody in the room, then we might be okay. — Yeah. Can I kill Minna first? — I stole a pistol from the gun show.
Amy · Selina:You won't have lied for six months. — Oh, that's true. I appreciate that point.
Selina:This is really nice, working together as a family. I actually enjoyed that gun show, you know? Once I got used to all the regular people and how fat they were, I really enjoyed it.
Selina:Once I got used to all the regular people and how fat they were, I really enjoyed it.
Selina · Andrew:That tie I like. That's better than yesterday's tie. You like music. — I can't do this again, Amy. I'm all lied out.
Andrew · Ray · Selina:Andrew and Ray competing massage scene — 'Just relax. Okay. Oh, how about there? Yeah, still nothing... oh-hh... oh, my God! That's very good.'
Selina · Amy:Hey, is FLOTUS having an affair? Not that I would blame her. Have you seen her lately? She's lost a lot of weight. Her neck is like stretched cheese.
Selina · Ben · Peter Mitchell · Selina:The U.S. doesn't spy on its allies. / We collect data. / Same thing. / Oh, no.
Peter Mitchell · Gary · Selina:Gary, what do you think? [Gary clearly panics] Gary likes to keep his cards close to his chest. [Gary] No, please, do share. I'm just 'collecting data.'
Gary · Selina:I think it's very nuanced. And I think there's a lot of different sides to a lot of different topics that are out there that I think we could spend some time... Gary, I need that lipstick.
Selina:I can imagine Harry Potter getting loaded in here.
Selina · Barman:The extended Harry Potter argument: fictional child vs. actor, wizard not witch, the bartender carefully correcting Selina at each step while she gets progressively more wrong.
Selina · Barman:The West Ham / 'What kind of ham?' exchange. Selina repeatedly misunderstands 'West Ham United' and tries to reframe it as American football.
Dan · Selina:The vice president is now going to 'pull a pint.' / Come on down. / I just said that. / Yep, yep.
Selina · Pub crowd:The pub crowd chanting 'Down in one' / Selina mishearing it as 'Daniwah' and chanting back enthusiastically.
Selina · Mike:Siri, how many horses died in the First World War? / Why are you asking that? / For the speech. / No. I'm not talking about horses. Cancel search, Siri.
Selina:Siri, how many horses died in the First World War?
Selina · Ray · Selina:Hat selection: 'Do you think the bigger one? Don't you think the other hat is a little too hatty?' / 'Britain is the kingdom of the hats.' / 'I have never heard that phrase.' / 'It's a well-known phrase.'
Selina · Ray · Gary:The 'or nothing at all' / hat scene implied sexual encounter between Selina and Ray — played entirely through innuendo and Selina closing the door on Gary.
Selina · Ray · Mike:Speech critique exchange: 'Too effy for me' / 'That sentence is impossible to comprehend' / 'I could normalfy this for you' / 'No. No, no, no.'
Ray · Selina:Ray's alternative speech: 'There's a whole lotta guys who never came home. Good guys. Here's to those guys.' / Holy fuckin' Christ. What is that, Ray?
Selina:Selina delivers Ray's version of the speech at the actual memorial: 'Let's remember the guys who never came home. Here's to the good guys. Boy, they were good guys, weren't they? They were.'
Journalist · Selina:Press conference ambush: 'Or would you like to comment?' / 'Well, I don't know what story it is you're referring to...' / 'He wrote an essay saying obese children are possessed by the devil as a punishment for past sins.'
Selina · Dan:Way to go, Dan. / Way to go, Ray. / Yeah, just throw the blame around. Not at me, though. It's not my fault.
Ray · Selina:It's called 'cosmic balance.' Not anything the Buddha didn't talk about. / Yeah, well, Buddha's got a big fat ass, Ray.
Selina:'I have always been a friend of the fa... full-figured folks.'
Selina · Jonah:Okay, my pretend friends. I gotta go back to DC. Something very big has happened and I've gotta be there. / What is it? / Daniwah!
Selina:What a fuckin' misery marathon that was.
Mike · Selina:Dan had a nervous collapse. Amy's taking him to the hospital. Ben went back to DC. Kent's firing Ray. And I'm in charge. / Fuck! / I know, right?
Selina:Fat people don't even vote. They can't even be bothered to get out of the house, you know? There's no food in the voting booth.
Selina:God, I hate this stupid country so much. Nothing makes sense here. You ask what temperature it is, you get some tiny little number. Even the plugs here are bigger than the things that they power.
Selina:I just got 'Brit-fucked' by that balloon animal.
Amy · Selina:Dan only hired him as a sex slave. / What? / Dan, he hired Ray as a... as a sex slave, did you not know?
Selina · Amy:He... he pimped me out? [long pause] Yeah, yeah.
Selina · Gary:Who knows about this? / Uh, me, Amy and Mike. / Okay. / And Ben, Kent and Sue. Everybody. / Everybody pretty much knows, ma'am.
Jonah · Selina:My flight doesn't leave until tomorrow night, so I figured it makes sense for me to be on Air Force Two. / Uh, in what world would that make sense? You need to get on your running machine, and run away. / Running machines don't go anywhere.
Gary · Selina:The First Lady has attempted to take her own life. / Oh... what?! / How? / Overdose of sleeping pills and vodka. / That's why POTUS sent for Ben.
Selina · Gary:Really makes you put your own problems into perspective. Doesn't it? Seriously? / It does. / Although your problems are still pretty bad. / Yeah, they are.
Ray · Selina:I couldn't help but overhear, but I always thought that lady was a little damaged. / Jesus fucking Christ. You're fired.
Selina:Let's get the merrie olde fuck out of merrie olde England. I need to be driven to the airport at 'Diana speed,' okay? Just more carefully, though, please.
Selina:Yeah, I want their heads on my wall. Actual heads.
Selina:I like his jokes. They're jokes, right?
Gary · Selina:Gary and Selina complete each other's sentence: 'Everything about it says... / Tomorrow.' / '...tomorrow.'
Jackson · Selina:'Short hair for the long haul.' / That's good, I like that.
Selina:But don't ever go schizo-titzo on me again. And get rid of this. [gestures at Dan's beard]
Selina:We can make it an affair to remember. Bam! God, I feel so powerful! I got a whole new rush of blood to my new head.
Selina · Gary:The president will not stop calling. I just can't seem to get him out of my hair. / Ma'am? / Did you notice? / You have a new haircut.
Gary · Selina:And a twitch. / What? / I thought I was just feeling it. You actually saw it? / It's really, really, really tiny.
Selina · Gary:I don't think I like the three Rs, you guys. / I like them. / You do? / Okay, yeah. I like them, then. I like 'em.
Selina · Sue:Is there any way you can make that sound more appealing? / Well, I could add the word 'cookie' on the end for no reason.
Amy · Gary · Selina:She can't practice not having the twitch. / She can practice that. It's called 'muscle memory.' / This is gonna be on television. / What about Botox?
Thornhill · Selina:I like the new hair getup. / Oh, thank you. / You'd fit right in in the military.
Selina:Well, here it is, game one of the series. Joe Thornhill. What are you gonna do? You gonna hit one out of the park, 'Shoeless Joe'?
Maddox · Selina:My parents did not allow me to play sports growing up, so... / That's a shame.
Selina · Thornhill:How are you gonna manage all this craziness? / Well, I don't just manage, ma'am, I coach. And I'm gonna coach America.
Selina · Chung's aide · Chung:Oh— oh, yes. Yes, I do. Yes. / Because you need them all. Otherwise you'd be screwed. / Yeah. / Completely.
Selina:That's cute, little mind games.
Amy · Selina · Gary:The twitch is back. / The twitch is back, yeah. I cannot believe it. / No, that's in the past and you have to go forward. / Oh, my God. Twitchy is back. / Shit!
Amy · Gary · Selina:You don't want to go Nixon on us. / You can turn sideways. Twitch, smile, turn. / And the three Rs. / I have the three Rs. / 'Reform, reaffirm, renew.' / No, 'renew.' / That's what I just said, renew.
Dan · Selina · Amy:I feel your pain. You okay? / I'll be better when you walk away. / If only we could all just walk away.
Selina · Gary · Wendy:She just said the opposite of what you said. / No... / Yes. / You can't use that. Please don't use that. / You just gave me a good scoop on Ray.
Selina · Amy:I call it my 'three Rs.' / It's time for the 'three Rs.' / They're solid as a rock, rock, rock.
Selina · Amy:Renew, renew. The third R is 'renew.' / She forgot the third R. / The third R is— actually, in fact, let me go back to 'reaffirm,' which was number two.
Selina · Furlong:It is... 'repel.' / 'Repel'? Why did she say 'repel'? What is it, 'Talk Like A Pirate Day'?
Selina · Amy · Furlong:We need to repel unwanted immigration. We need to repel criminals, we need to repel obesity, we need to repel torturers. / I think I've endorsed a Nazi. / That would explain the Hitler haircut.
Selina:Maybe I should have gone with two Rs.
Selina:And if you can't stand the heat, buy asbestos panties.
Selina · Furlong:And if you can't stand the heat, buy asbestos panties. / See, now that's the kind of talk that gets me turned on.
Selina:They're not even sound bites. They're just sounds.
Staffer · Selina:I mean, he cornholed us in Iowa. / Well, that's appropriate. It's the corn state.
Staffer · Selina · Amy:He's killing us. / Please downplay them, I said. / She is downplaying them, ma'am.
Selina · Amy:It's January, Mike. / Yeah, and I can't throw a ball, Mike.
Selina · Gary:I'll look like Gary here. / Thank you. / Mm-hmm.
Selina:What, are you David Coppercock?
Dan · Gary · Selina:The crate reveal — Gary opens a box within a box to reveal a reinforced speaking crate, injures himself, Selina delights in it
Selina:It's fantastic. You guys, this could be the key image for the campaign. Me on a crate. I love this!
Selina:For two grand, you don't get a call from me. Okay? Just send him a button or something.
Selina:You know, they accuse you of not thinking outside the box, but I do think outside the box. You know what else I do? I stand on top of a box.
Kent · Selina · Amy:POTUS is having a difficult time with FLOTUS and her... / Suicide attempt, yeah. / Yes. / I don't blame her. Imagine being married to that guy. I wouldn't put up with that shit for a second.
Selina:No, I like standing up here and looking down at everybody.
Selina:Because if I don't communicate, guys, I communi-can't.
Selina · Impersonator/staffer:By the way, I gotta say you're doing a great job. Seriously, you do me better than I do me. / You do yourself a lot.
Quincy · Selina:I see you've brought your soon-to-be-famous crate. / Oh. / 'Crate Expectations.' / Oh, I love it!
Selina · Quincy:You'd have to be out of your mind to spend that kind of money for a crate. / Well, according to the manufacturer.
Selina:You know, Quincy's retiring. The 'Globe' is gonna need somebody who's willing to be sucked up to and who likes to eat a lot of lunches. Think you're man enough for that?
Mike · Selina:Leave Selina? That's not possible. / Is it? You would see a lot more of me. / Oh, no. That's not good.
Selina:What? Oh, my God. I cannot stand that affected butt plug.
Selina:If I could lift the fucking crate, I'd beat him to death with it.
Staffer · Selina:Quincy's agreed to do a more substantial in-depth interview. We'll schedule it for tomorrow. / That would be the other option.
Selina:I hope he doesn't give her a crate to stand on. Otherwise she's gonna hang herself from the nearest light fixture.
Quincy · Selina:What person, living or dead, do you most despise? / I really try not to hate anybody... / Ah. Most people say Hitler. / Um, well, yeah, certainly. I'm not a fan of Hitler. / So, change it to Hitler?
Quincy · Selina · Staffer:What would you alter about your personality? / I guess I would say that I can be a little bit impatient. / Oh, God, yes, you can... be. / No.
Quincy · Selina:Neil Diamond gave the same answer. / Oh, what fun. I love him. 'Sweet Caroline' is so good, and 'Cracklin' Rosie' is just... / Why does God allow suffering?
Quincy · Selina:Why does God allow suffering? / Siri, why does God allow suffering?
Selina:I think that suffering can engender a kind of resilience. Although that doesn't really explain childhood cancers and...
Selina:He has his head so far up his ass, he can wave out his mouth.
Selina · Staffer · Ben:GUMMI... Give Us More Money, Idiot. / What happened to HADDA... How About Digging Deeper, Assholes? / I always call them dicks. It doesn't stand for anything.
Selina · Mike · Gary · Amy:The team discovers Quincy's phone has been recording — panic ensues. 'It knows too much.' / 'Let's just throw it in the toilet.' / 'And say what, Mike?'
Selina · Quincy:No, the light bulb's fine, see? / Oh, all right. Yeah. / See? Yeah. / I was just admiring it. Your charging portal is so clean. / Do you swab it? / No.
Staffer · Selina:It locked me out. / Smash it. / Are you kidding? / No, I'm not kidding. Violence solves everything.
Selina · Staffer:And is there anybody else there? / An immigrant family from Syria who had a horrific time getting to America. / They're gonna be good to talk to.
Selina:You know what VP stands for? It stands for 'Victory Permafucked.'
Selina:I don't deserve this. You know? God damn it. I don't, but you do because you are all losers! Every motherfucking one of you. Loser! Loser!
Selina:I mean, sometimes through no fault of your own, it's just one... disaster / after another disaster.
Staffer · Selina:He's acting weird. / Not normal weird, weird-weird. / What does that mean?
Selina · Kent:What are you talking about? What is it? Are we at war? / Ma'am, we're America. We're always at war.
Selina · Kent · Amy:Where's POTUS gonna live, though? / Where is he... / Yeah, 'cause doesn't he have to move? / That'll be taken care of. / No, but does he have a house? / Somebody will handle that. / You don't have to worry about that.
Selina · Gary:Um, I'm gonna be president. / Of course you are. I mean, there's always hope, ma'am. / No, no, no, no. I mean, um... POTUS is gonna resign... and I'm about to become president... of America!
Gary · Selina:When I get excited, my nose bleeds. / What? / When I get excited, my nose bleeds! / Well, that's good.
Selina · Gary:Gary, there's... there's no toilet paper. / Go in my bag. / What? / Go in my bag.
Selina · Gary:Wait, what... what is this for? / [mystery object from bag] / Oh, shit. That looks bad through here. / Stick these in your nose. / Shove these up there. That'll do the trick.
Selina · Gary:Why is there a bicycle book? Gary, seriously, why... / I love bicycles.
Stranger/reporter · Selina:Everything all right? / Great.
Amy · Selina:Jesus, what the fuck happened to you? / Shh, listen, listen. The president is resigning. Selina is gonna be president.
Selina · Mike · Ben · Dan:POTUS is resigning. Selina's president. / Fuck off! / POTUS is gonna resign. Selina's gonna be president. / Oh, shit.
Selina · Fadi:Oh, Rye Harbor. Oh, that's lovely. So you had a safe arrival, which means that Lady Luck was with you. / Our journey was like a horrible dream. / Mm, right. / At one time, we hid in a well for five days.
Selina:Okay, I gotta go, but, gosh, good luck with all of your terrible troubles and, um, welcome to America.
Selina:Winner, winner, winner, winner, winner. / Winner, winner, winner.
Selina:Winner, winner, winner, winner, winner. Winner, winner, winner.
Selina · Mike:And, Mike, I need you. / Yes, you do.
Selina · Gary:And, Gary... / Yeah? / I need you to stay.

Selina:Selina: 'Ben, I swear to sweet Jesus Christ, if you don't do this, I'm gonna bring back Prohibition.'

Selina:Selina: 'This is like Kathy Bates in Misery.' (about Gary putting the shoes on her)
Selina · Gary:Selina's shoes squeak loudly throughout the entire inaugural address. Visual/audio gag: every step produces a loud mouse-toy squeak.
Selina · Aides:Selina delivers her inaugural address while aides are loudly weeping and checking Twitter. 'Are you seeing this on Twitter?' / 'Yup. President squeaks to the nation.'
Gary · Selina:Gary weeps audibly during Selina's inaugural address. Selina shoots him an irritated look mid-speech.

Selina · Kent · Mike:The Leslie Kerr/Leslie Carr/Leanne Carr name confusion chain — Selina fires the wrong person entirely.
Selina · Ben · Mike:Selina: 'What man is named Leslie, for fuck's sakes?' Ben/Mike: 'Leslie Nielsen. Leslie Moonves. Leslie Frazier, the coach for the Vikings...'

Mike · Selina:Selina gets the oath wrong because Mike fell into a lamp during the ceremony.
Selina · Amy · Ben:Selina: 'Get a local judge to do it.' Amy: 'Wait, isn't that gonna look just a little bit tacky?' Ben: 'That could be really great for us. Play up to New Hampshire's already inflated sense of self-importance.'

Dan · Jim · Selina:There isn't an A. We're numbering the sections. We are? We are. We agreed on numbers. So section A is now section one. Harvard education right there.

Selina · Mike:Smells like Puerto Rico in here. / I'm juicing.
Selina · Dan:Who is that? / Hey, who is Cathy?

Selina · Ben:Yeah, we just got to do a cock-thumb. / What? What did you say? A cock-thumb? / Yeah. / What is that? Tell me, do not show me.
Ben · Selina:Well, we propose a radical cut to the military — cutting off the cock — the Joint Chiefs in turn propose their own more reasonable cut — cutting off the thumb. / Commonly known as negotiating?

Selina · Sue:No duck? / No. / Sue: It's a dead duck.
Selina · Ben:I feel like I've got a hamster wheel in my head. / Did you ever hear the theory that Reagan hired Hinckley just so he could get two weeks in bed?
Selina:Maybe we can put Afghanistan on eBay. Get about 10 bucks for that.
Selina:We should hear their big clanking balls any second. And then all the paintings will fall off the walls.

Selina:Selina improvising: 'I want to talk about the future. Whatever we have in store... cannot be known. But given time, it... it can be understood. The past was once the future. The future is, I should say, unknown. It is in fact unknowable.'
Selina:So I'm asking you to meet me at the station and join me as we board a train bound for a place called the future.
Selina:And we will be ready for that future whatever. / (Cheering, applause)
Selina:We will invest $60 billion in the new N620 submarine fleet.
Selina:Instead now, that money is going to fund obsolete, metal, giant dildos.
Selina:Do you have any idea what... (plastic snaps)
Amy · Selina:Sorry, ma'am, you said not to interrupt, but we have a campaign meeting scheduled for right now. / I know, Amy. / I'm descheduling as I exit.
Ben · Selina:Madam President, I know you kicked me out, but we just droned the wrong guy's truck in Yemen. / Thank you, Ben. / Great. Guess I'll write a report.
Woman staffer · Selina:Just to let you know that two of the hikers are dead. / Could you please leave? / Sorry, Madam President. / Wait. What hikers? / What hikers?!
Selina · staffer:Did he dye his mustache? / Holy shit, he dyed his mustache.
staffer · Selina:He looks like Yosemite Sam. Yeah, without the credibility.
Selina:Middle East, middle easy.
Selina:I'm handling world peace, okay? You just go make the room pretty, i.e., the opposite of that fucking monstrosity. What is that? Picasso's heavy period?
Selina:Is that why his wife tried to kill herself?
Selina:No offense, honey, but, I mean, look at yourself.
Selina:She... she... good for you. [Beat of awkward dismissal]
Selina:I feel like I'm on trial in the future.
Selina:Uh, Amy, it's filtering out like every other word. Usually I just do that myself.
Selina · Amy:By the way, I'm bringing in Bill Ericsson. / Madam President, did you just say Bill Ericsson? / Ma'am, I... Ooh!
Selina:Have you seen that thing? It's like he ate a volcano.
Selina:Oh. Oh, these are not good. [Looking at Catherine's poll numbers]
Selina:Don't tell me it's Happy Harrison Day. / I outlived some dead idiot president. Wow.
Ben · Selina · Kent:It's Ben's birthday. / Happy birthday, Ben. / Wow, that was quick. / We have a cake? / No.
Selina:I like him. And I loathe politicians.
aide · Selina:Madam President, a painting in the White House was removed this morning. / Should we go to the Situation Room?
Selina:I mean, who knew we even had one?
Selina:Actually, have Bill Ericsson do that because I'm having Bill Ericsson replace you.
Selina · aide:To be honest, I don't even know if she's one of ours. / 20 bucks says she's Mossad.
Selina:We do have Native American staff. They're on a list that you're gonna give me in 30 minutes, okay? Now get me some scalps. Names. Get me some names.
aide · Selina:It's not a wall, ma'am. / Well, it's an expression. A bridge of peace, I'll say.
Selina:So why don't you tell Sacheen Littlefeather to get off the rag and get over it, all right?
Selina:Do you know what I am? I'm like the opposite of Mel Gibson.
Selina:Now what we need is a lot more butt-ugly Native American paintings, okay? / Because the first butt-ugly one was removed / by some jerkoff with a hair ball for a brain.
Selina · Gary · Catherine:[Catherine attempts to smile for the camera; Selina recoils] / That's not good. / You're flaring your nostrils.
Amy · Selina:I think if there are three whole flower trucks parked outside the White House, I would know about it. / Go. Outside, go. Count the flower trucks.
Selina:Okay, guys, I will not hear a single bad word about my friend Gary. / But, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's out of control.
Israeli PM · Selina:Better not leak any photos. I see your media likes to make a big fuss about how much you spend. / Yes. Yes. Huh? What? What fuss? What spending?
Selina · aide:Did we ever find out who moved that painting, by the way? / Um, that would be Gary, too.
Selina:So I have just brokered a peace deal with Israel here. I, as President of the United States, have actually achieved something, which is virtually unheard of.
Selina:Who do you think you are, Gary Antoinette? Did somebody make you first lady? 'Cause I don't remember marrying you, Gary. I don't remember fucking you in Niagara Falls. I think I'd remember that.
Selina:You have suckered onto me like some sort of a car window Garfield.
Selina:You are not a big shot, Gary. You're a middle-aged man who sanitizes my tweezers.
Gary · Selina:When's Catherine's birthday? / June eighth. / Ninth. / Which senator's daughter is in rehab? / You're out of line, missy. / Geldray. / What are you wearing tomorrow? / I don't know. / I do.
Gary · Selina:When's Catherine's birthday? / June eighth. / Ninth. / Which senator's daughter is in rehab? / You're out of line, missy. / Geldray. / What are you wearing tomorrow? / I don't know. / I do.
Gary · Selina:Can you find somebody else who did what I did? / You mean on Labor Day? / I didn't say that. / Yeah, you did. You just did. You j... you just said Labor Day.
Selina:I'm sorry if I lost my temper a little bit. / I am so sorry for the words that I just spoke.
Gary · Selina:Can you find somebody else who did what I did? / You mean on Labor Day?
Gary · Selina:That looks good. / Yeah, it's... It's light sponge. / Would you like a piece? / Okay, I'll have a piece, I guess.
Selina · Gary:That looks good. / Yeah, it's... It's light sponge. / Would you like a piece? / Okay, I'll have a piece, I guess. / Yes, ma'am. / It's light sponge. / You just told me that. / Mm-hmm.
Gary · Selina:It's light sponge. / You just told me that.
Selina · Gary:Geldray's daughter is in rehab? / Yes. / That explains all that energy. / Lot of energy.
Selina · aide:That's a wonderful photo of your daughter. / Yeah, she looks so loveable there, don't you think? / Very... well, she looks likable. / Do you think she looks likable in that picture?
Selina:Have you ever seen 'Star Wars'? This is a little bit like the end of 'Star Wars.'
aide · Selina:South Korea has called. They'd like to know if you'd like a baby elephant. / I have no response to that. / Other than I already have one. / I'm kidding.
staffer · Selina:South Korea has called. / They'd like to know if you'd like a baby elephant. / I have no response to that. / Other than I already have one. / I'm kidding.
Selina:She used to be chubby when she was little, but she's slimmed down as she's gotten older. Thank goodness.
Selina:Can you pull me out the second it becomes acceptable to leave?
Selina · Gary:Can you pull me out the second it becomes acceptable to leave? / Mm-hmm.
Selina · staffer:Can you pull me out the second it becomes acceptable to leave? / Mm-hmm.
Selina:Well, there's a town with no Gay Pride parade or a goddamn library.
Gary · Selina:I always feel like the ruching on this one really accentuates your figure. Okay, you're right. Let's go with that.
Selina · Catherine:Catherine, you are smoking? I'm vaping. That's not the point.
Selina:He photographs well for his age.
Selina · Sue:Is it a good apple? It's a baking apple. Fuck 'em.
Selina · Catherine:Oh, my God, I look like Grandpa. What did they do to my nose? Mom, what about me? Huh? Yeah, I know. This is so disrespectful.
Selina:Yeah, I know, he's fluffing the hacks.
Selina:Is Mike sharing his donut holes with y'all?
Lyle (reporter) · Selina:Oh, of course, yeah. And also my name. Yes. It's Lyle. It's Lyle and it's my pleasure.
Selina:I mean, you know, I'm the rock star. She's not the rock star.
Selina:That's not just a breach. That's a data rupture.
Selina:All of these words are meaningless to me.
Selina:Well, the press doesn't need the culprit. The press needs a culprit.
Selina · Amy:That's not funny, Amy. What? Why not?
Selina:I feel persecuted. I'm just waiting for the press to throw me in a pond to see if I'll float.
Selina · Catherine:Honeymoon's over, isn't it? It was kind of a shitty honeymoon, too. Just like my actual honeymoon with Daddy. I know, Mom.
Catherine · Selina:'The Onion' did a parody of that photo in the 'Post.' Oh, really? I like 'The Onion.' What you'll look like when you're leaving office, except you look exactly like you do now. Okay. They think you'll only be president for a few months. That's the joke. No, no, I get it, yeah. That's funny. That's funny stuff.
Mike · Selina:Great, now parents hate us. Oh, God, welcome to my childhood. And adulthood, actually.
Andrew · Selina:Question is, how hot do you want them? Red hot. Gonna do the snail joke, right? That's your trademark joke. Signature joke. Yeah, you don't have to do the snail joke. It's so funny.
Selina · Lee/Ellie:You having fun? Yes, ma'am. But also working hard. Thank you for asking. It's Chloe? It's Ellie. Lee. Lee? Lee. Ah.
Selina:It's like getting a valentine from your own mom, you know?
Staffer · Selina:Ma'am, we're losing micro-donors. We'll be down to nano-donors.
Selina:It's vital that these small-time nobodies realize we respect them, okay?
Selina · Mike:Do you think that's the best move, ma'am? The thing I just said that I should do? Do I think it's the thing I should do? Is that your question, Mike?
Dan · Selina · Gary:Girl in the writers' room for the joint sessions speech. She was also at the rally tonight. Sci-fi Sally something. Ellie? Chloe. Marie. Claire. It's Lee. Gary is right, her name is Lee and she is a fine staffer. I see splashes of myself in her. I now regret that phrase.
Selina · Gary · Kent:No, fuck it, cheese. Oh. Uh, ma'am... Look, Kent, I'm sorry, but Chloe's got to go. It's not Chloe, it's Lee. And anyway, it's not Lee, it's Catherine.
Selina:What, is she nuts? I mean, it's gonna make it look like she thinks her mom bullied her.
Selina:Is there no other news? Whatever happened to Ebola? I loved Ebola.
Dan · Selina:Yes, ma'am. I've been fattening him up for just this occasion. I got him a staff. And I got him involved in Families First. I even got him on the campaign. He's the one who did the fireworks and the music for last night. That was him? Off with his fat head.
Selina:Do it. Get rid of him. Throw him under a bus. If you can find one that's long enough.
Selina · Catherine:You cannot be associated with bullying because people are going to think that you were bullied by me. I wasn't bullied by you, I was bullied because of you.
Selina · Catherine:Do you want to go to Hawaii at Thanksgiving? Are you interested in Memaw's sapphire earrings? Are you bullying me into dropping an anti-bullying charity?
Selina · Gary:Gary, am I? You're parenting. Yeah, well, too, I might add.
Mike · Selina:Okay, Catherine, up, out. For fuck's sake. / All right, that's enough with the F words. Thank you very much. I apologize for her behav...
Selina:Well, then, why don't you tell me and I'll decide whether or not I know it?
Selina:We're fucked? Is that what this is? 'I'm afraid it's spread to the liver' fucked?
Selina:Don't give me that bunker shit. Hitler went into a bunker. When he came out, he wasn't chancellor anymore, was he? Plus he was dead.
Selina:I'll tell you something, if he were alive right now, he'd be very anxious to distance himself from me at this moment.
Selina:A face. Although, if you operate last in, first out, I'm screwed.
Selina · Staffer:Okay, so we need to issue a positive statement about the HIV girl. Not positive. Wrong word.
Selina · Mike:Mike, did I see you smiling when it was suggested I might be fired? Me? No. I... I wasn't smiling. I was stretching my lips because I have very dry lips, and my doctor said, 'You should probably stretch them.' So I was following medical advice. Like... Like that. That's what you're going with?
Selina:Wow. Listen, you ever play poker, I want in, 'cause you are one terrible liar. And that's sad 'cause that's your whole job.
Selina:Gary, front row for the story reading needs to be the children with the strongest bladders.
Mike · Selina:Why am I carrying eggs, huh? I'm up to my eyeballs in HIV. No, no, don't give them to me. There's a six-foot bunny out there with 30 spoons. You can't miss him.
Selina · Marine in bunny costume:Well, thank you for your service, Greg. Very happy to have one of my Marines in costume. Actually, I'm really glad you're here. These kids terrify me. But I guess you've seen worse. You did two tours of Afghanistan? Yes, ma'am. I saw my best buddy die over there. Blown to pieces by an IED.
Selina · Marine:Very happy to have one of my Marines in costume. / You're welcome, ma'am. / Actually, I'm really glad you're here. These kids terrify me. / But I guess you've seen worse. / You did two tours of Afghanistan? / Yes, ma'am. I saw my best buddy die over there. Blown to pieces by an IED.
Selina:Come over here, young man. It looks like you don't feel very good. Is that your son? He's gifted. There we go. Uh-oh. Oh. He did have a big breakfast.
Amy · Selina:I thought... When we discussed, I thought that it was Ben who would be going. Oh, right. Yeah, actually, Bill suggested Dan. He thought it would be a good idea to keep Ben to take the heat in case the other data shit hits the fan. Good thought, right? Yeah. Just doing my job. Me, too.
Amy · Selina · Amy:Ah. / He thought it would be a good idea to keep Ben to take the heat in case the other data shit hits the fan. / Good thought, right? / Yeah. / Just doing my job. / Me, too.
Selina:I'm so tired, I could sleep a horse. Or whatever that word thing is.
Selina · Gary:Hey, you know what you are? — What? — You're an amazing man. — Thank you. — And you know what amazing men get? — What? — Two-day weekend. — This weekend? — Yeah. — I'm going to the cottage with Wendy!
Selina:Oh, God. I have to wait here another hour before we can fly out? ... Let's use the hour, then, okay? Let's cure diabetes or learn Italian.
Selina:I gotta run around like a Labrador or a guy on fire or something like that.
Selina · Aide · Mike:How are the folks on the press plane? — Sober. — They got the shakes so bad, I think I see the plane rattling.
Selina:I could, like, bang a nail into that wall with my gaze. Do you know what I mean?
Selina · Gary · Aide:What kind of wood is this table? — I don't know. Let me check. — I think it's ash. — Uh-uh. — I'm gonna redo my kitchen.
Selina:I could not be more likable if I had given both of my kidneys to some sick kid.
Selina · Gary:Gary, I want some champagne. — Ma'am, we're in a tea totalitarian state.
Gary · Selina:I put the champagne in the water bottles. — You don't have to explain. I can tell what you did.
Selina · Aide · Selina:Oh, look at Doyle. — Did he have his teeth capped? — Oh, my God. The last surviving Golden Girl.
Selina:He is the asshole of an asshole's asshole. I feel bad for the guys who had to guard him.
Gary · Selina:He needs deodorant. — Uh-huh.
Selina · Leon:Well, I am so happy to see you, Leon. — We really did work tirelessly for your release. — Well, thank you, Madam President. I haven't slept very much. — Well, I'm sure food is the last thing on your mind. — I know it's the last thing on my mind.
Selina · Leon · Gary:Did you just say you do want something to eat? — Yes, thank you. — You do? — Oh, is that food? — No. It's a... It's deodorant.
Selina · Leon:What would you like to eat? — Anything that's not chickpeas.
Selina:It's just been such a magical time. And I wish I could have visited every country in the whole world. You know? Even New Zealand.
Selina · Mike:People are now comparing me to Nixon, I heard, right? — They didn't mean your looks.
Leon · Selina:Just to clarify, you were delayed by a day. — Yeah. — My release was delayed by a day. — Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Selina:Christ, it's that data fuck. — No. I don't know. Yes. Let's just go with I don't know.
Selina:Give him a handjob if you have to, just get it done, okay?
Selina:And when Ben and I were first discussing the peace talks, I said to Ben, I said, 'Ben. Ben, I...' — Ma'am, State Department. — This I've got to take. Excuse me.
Selina:We've got to hold him hostage here. Do you understand? We've got to take off now. — Mike and Gary are off the plane. — We have a pilot on the plane, right? Okay, so let's go. We've got to go.
Selina · Leon · Selina:Leon, you've got to sit down. — I'm a bad flier and I might need somebody to hold me. — Are you seriously detaining me again? — Am I being rendered? — No, you're being friendered. So just please accept our compulsory hospitality.
Selina:Journalism is storytelling. You tell your story about your bravery, your integrity and how we rescued you and gave you warm nuts.
Leon · Selina:The Iranians detained me because of you. That's my story. They detained me an extra day because of you. That's my other story. — Now, you want to be rescued or not, you ungrateful shit?
Selina · Amy:Amy, if anyone asks for me, I've gone outside to scream into the night. — Okay. — Have one for me, too.
Selina · Kent:I specifically promised Doyle that I would not do that, Kent. — I apologize. But it did throw up some very interesting results. — But I will run those by you at a less angry time.
Selina:Why in the name of pixelated fuck would you do that? My God! — And can you please use code when we're talking about this? Use the word, I don't know, cupcake instead of data and use happy instead of bereaved or something.
Selina · Aide:Fine. Inject him with the happy cupcake virus, all right? I hope he swells up and dies. — That's not code, by the way.
Selina · Ben · Selina:Ben, why don't I know what's going on here? — I don't know. — I'm supposed to have my finger on the button. But for all I know, it's been rewired and I'm just operating some sort of light in a closet somewhere.
Selina:I'm gonna treat him like my own brother, ahem, who I had murdered back in '86.
Selina:I feel like I'm on a life-support machine and they keep pulling the plug to charge their phones.
Gary · Selina:Did you rest? — I slept like a drugged log.
Selina · Ben:Did my eye just twitch? — No.
Selina · Sue · Amy:Sue, if anybody asks for me, I've gone outside to scream into the night. — Okay. — Have one for me, too.
Catherine · Selina · Jason · Catherine · Selina:We're engaged. — No, you're not. — Yes, we are. — But we are. — I'm 48. — Put your hand down.
Gary · Selina:I'm not snacking. I'm on my diet. — It's a celery stick. — All right, it's a cookie. — I've had dates every day. — You know dates are a dessert?
Selina · Catherine:Selina coaching Catherine on how to say 'I love you, Mom' like she means it, then immediately saying it in an even more forced way
Selina:'It sounds like you've been kidnapped by the Taliban.'
Selina · Amy · Catherine · Jason:Kiss rehearsal: 'Which part?' / 'All of it.' — Catherine and Jason's on-stage kiss is terrible and the whole team watches in horror
Selina:'Ugh, sounds good' — Selina's immediate positive reaction to hearing there's a death row execution problem
Selina:Selina: 'Yes, but a statement that can be repurposed if things change. He dies, he doesn't die, or whatever.'
Selina:'She's fucking ethnic! This is Latinageddon.'
Selina:'I wish I was that guy on death row. Apparently he's vomiting black bile.'
Selina:'He gets sexy Mexi. What am I stuck with? Doyle? Steve Martin's boring older brother.'
Selina:'That would totally fuck up that fiesta of theirs, wouldn't it?'
Mike · Selina:'Now they can kill him properly. God, you'd think they could do that right. Death row... the clue is in the name.'
Selina · Ben:'What did I do in a past life to deserve Karen? / I think you must have given the go-ahead for Pearl Harbor.'
Selina:Selina laughing reflexively at Chung's story: 'I love it when you tell that story. It's so funny.' — clearly performing
Selina:'Well, you take as many of the 15 minutes available as you need to make this decision.'
Selina:'Well, you take as many of the 15 minutes available as you need to make this decision.'
Selina:'Oh, that's nice. Fuck off, I'm busy.'
Selina:Doyle's prostate diagnosis on live TV: 'which is not good. Sounds like you might die.'
Selina:'What, are you knocked up? What's the real reason?'
Selina:Selina mimes a gunshot: 'And you never know. Someday somebody might just...' (imitates gunshot)
Selina:'The shitty, two-faced, fat fucking turd said no.'
Selina:'I'm supposed to walk out on stage and then keep walking till I fall off the other side?'
Gary · Selina:Gary suggests asking Doyle back — everyone stares. Gary then suggests Maddox. 'Everybody stop having ideas.'
Sue · Mike · Selina:Death row inmate update: 'He died.' / 'Oh, finally, right?' / 'Death row... the clue is in the name.'
Selina:Selina getting the Ben phone call and ejecting Maddox from the room mid-meeting with 'I've got to... He just closed the door, so I'm gonna have to head out'
Selina:'Well, that was then, and this is not then.'
Selina · Ben:'He's got a drinking problem. Yeah, shoe polish and he never even shared.'
Selina:'Are you trying to blow up the universe now? Who's gonna go for two women on the ticket? I guess we could all eat pussy all day long, too, right?'
Selina:'Yeah, that's why we 86'd him, Mike. The candidate needs to live up to and through the election.'
Selina:'Well, that was clearly about me.' (laughs) / 'She's just one of those women who resents powerful women.'
Selina:'She's just one of those women who resents powerful women.'
Selina · Karen:'What do you think of Tom James?' / Karen: 'What do I think of him? I think there's a lot to think.'
Selina:Selina's 'Ank you' to Karen — a thanks so abbreviated it's basically contempt
Selina · Gary:Selina dismisses Gary to get bourbon, then tells him to go straighten her room — two separate menial tasks in quick succession while Tom James watches
Tom James · Selina:Tom James's fake-out acceptance: 'I'm afraid, with deep regret... That I'm going to have to accept.'
Tom James · Selina · Mike:Tom James retelling his own joke to Mike — 'Again?' / 'Yeah, definitely tell him. Please. Can't wait. It's hilarious.'
Tom James · Selina · Kent:Tom James reveals he wants to sit down with Amy Brookheimer — Selina covers: 'Kent. Roger that.' — Kent's immediate, robotic 'Roger that' to his new role
Selina · Tom James:Convention stage: Selina and Tom bump teeth on their big kiss. Selina tells the crowd: 'It's funny because we actually bumped teeth there... we have our whole lives to practice that.'
Selina · Tom James:'You leave this man alone, okay? Precious cargo right here.' / 'Well, he's my cheerleader.' / 'Yeah, I've got to get him pom-poms.'
Tom James · Selina:Tom: 'Do you ever get tired of this?' / Selina: 'Really tired of it, yeah.'
Selina · Tom James:Final line: Tom: 'Do you ever get tired of this?' / Selina: 'Really tired of it, yeah.'
Selina:Please don't make me go to work today. I'll fake my own death.
Selina:It's falling apart like a punched wedding cake.
Selina:The press has recently decided to call it the Mommy Meyer Bill.
Selina:Take this fork, stab me right here in the carotid.
Selina:Oh, shit. Happy birthday. I'm sorry I didn't have time to get you anything. Gonna try after work.
Selina:Oh, bam! I should be president or something.
Selina · Staffer:That rumor about O'Brien's daughter blowing all those hockey players in college. That would have been a mistake. Huge mistake. It was lacrosse players.
Selina:Plus we had tits and ass. So we had the whole thing going for us, really.
Sue · Selina:There's been a shooting in Pittsburgh. Four dead including the gunman. Well, that's fucking not good.
Selina · Staffer:We pray for the families. Yeah, and that they don't demand more gun control.
Selina:He's got a thoughts and prayers template.
Selina:Should we keep watching me? Yeah? Sure, sure.
Selina:You think I'm just gonna say it doesn't fit and put it up on craigslist or something?
Staffer · Selina:O'Brien just said, 'If Families First is passed, the whole concept of family will come to an end.' Well, that's the dream, certainly, but I'm not sure we'll achieve it in this generation.
Secret Service · Selina · Ben:Ma'am, there's an intruder. We need you to remain here. What? I mean, okay. I mean, what? I had not anticipated this. This I had not anticipated. Well, that sounds like the world's worst Dr. Seuss book.
Selina:Gary, every room you're in is a panic room.
Selina:What are you going to do with a clock? Tell him he's late?
Selina:He comes here to kill me and he doesn't even know my name?
Selina:People probably try to kill me most days, sweetie. You just have to shut it out.
Selina:I do love tasting menus. It's so nice to be able to look at a list of food and say, 'I'll take all of it.'
Selina · Chef/Gary:Okay, you know I almost got assassinated today, right? Yeah, you did. So I just need you to do what I'm telling you to do.
Selina · Mike:I thought I would say, 'So I'm in the firing line for the second time today.' Hilarious, ma'am. Yeah, I know, it's not that funny. No, it's just my voice. I always end up sounding sarcastic.
Selina:I always feel as if I'm in more danger when I'm in front of you guys.
Selina:This is the second time I'm in front of the firing squad today.
Selina · Mike:Mike, I'm good. I'm gonna duck out for now. You got me. Yeah, I did. So you can take over, you bozo.
Selina:You'll tie a ribbon around Elvis's sagging, rotten ball sack if we ask you to, Mike. That's your job.
Mike · Selina · Ben:Tom James took a crap all over America. Why do I got to grab the shovel? I'm not a shit cleaner. It's your job. You are the shit shoveler. Well, some shit doesn't get off. What? I don't know what that means.
Selina:Kill the Mommy, okay? 'Cause it's making my bill toxic. It's like they took the word brain tumor and changed it to Selina Cyst.
Selina:No, I didn't really have any surgery, Deborah. I didn't. I haven't had... no.
Selina:It's booze, you old boozehound.
Friend · Selina:Actually, I have been sober for five years and four months, so... I have been sober for 27 hours, so let me take that off your hand while I jump off the wagon.
Selina's friends · Selina:Anna's wedding. That was 20 years ago. Oh, no, it was five years ago. What? She got married again. Oh. Well, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah. Did he finally come out? He died. Oh. I am so sorry.
Friend · Selina:What's for dessert, a tub of ice cream and four spoons? Yes.
Friend · Selina · Friends:Any other psychotic things that we need to know about you? I think we should sterilize everyone in New Jersey. Good idea. I'm in favor of assisted dying for anyone who talks in a movie theater. That's forward thinking. And I think we should legalize drugs. Oh, yeah! I'll get the bong.
Friend · Selina:I'm serious. I believe we should legalize drugs. Having seen what my son has been through, I think it's the only way. Fuck my face.
Selina's team · Selina:Okay, if this gets out, my life's hell. Guys, guys! Come on. Everybody calm down. Yeah, let's just smoke a doobie and pop some ludes.
Selina · Deborah:Look at us, we're working it from both ends. Um, well, because I'm about to pass this legislation.
Friend · Selina:What's 15%? What's 15%? / I don't want to talk about politics anymore.
Selina:She can't have wine.
Selina:Do you recognize her? She lost all of her baby fat.
Selina:It's not really as bad as it sounds. You know, those kids have been dead for a while.
Selina's friends · Selina · Gary:You're eating ice cream? Really? She's eating ice cream, Gary? I mean... I just had a bite.
Sue · Selina · Gary · Staffer:Ma'am, intruder in the grounds. God, another one? You've got to be shitting me. No, Gary, it's the same one. He's doing a victory lap.
Selina's friend · Selina · Unknown:They're just gonna keep coming and coming until they kill us. This is classic copycat. Yeah, no, it's classic copycat. Ah, it's just like me just then. You know, it's classic copycat.
Selina's friend · Selina:Oh, my God, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Oh, honey. You need water. Can somebody help her? These people are only here to protect me, I'm afraid.
Selina:The only person who's interested in killing you, Deborah, is here in this room. Ahem, that was a joke. You know, you can't see my face, but I'm actually making a joke. Put that back. Put it back.
Selina · Gary:Selina sick in bed, surrounded by empty tissues, trying to watch election news with flowers blocking the TV
Gary · Selina:'No, no, let me get that, you sweet little invalid.' / 'I'm not an invalid. I'm completely fine.'
Selina · Gary:'God, Gary, I wish to Jesus that you had gotten this flu instead of me.' / 'Oh, my God, me, too. Me, too.'
Selina:'I think I just sneezed up part of my pancreas.'
Selina:'Sue, this is a test memo. Send memo.'
Gary · Selina:Gary produces a footstool and Selina immediately feels better
Selina · Doctor:Selina threatens to get a new doctor; doctor immediately capitulates and changes his advice
Selina:'I feel like I'm captain of the Titanic and I carved out the iceberg myself.'
Selina:'I can sleep when I'm dead in about an hour.'
Selina:'The president is qualified to be president because she is president. Does your party have a candidate who is president?'
Selina · Ben · Tom:Selina is discovered to have been sending voice memos to aides during the live TV interview
Selina:'It is important, Ben. Every memo I send is important. Send memo. Jesus.'
Ben · Selina:'We just let off one nuke at the Super Bowl. Oh, so now you want to micromanage something you didn't even want to be involved in.'
Selina:'Wait a second, Kent had a list who Jonah and Richard were seeing and you had a list who Dan and Amy were seeing? Did you not think to compare the lists?'
Selina · Ben:'It's like something out of a political cartoon.' / 'What, you mean not funny?'
Gary · Selina:Gary accidentally tells Selina everything about the conspiracy while trying to find out how much she knows
Tom James · Selina:'Ma'am, I am as shocked as you are. Shocked and disappointed, Ben.'
Selina:'My future depends on that dumb fucking elf?'
Selina:'She's probably gonna die just to spite me. That evil bitch.'
Selina:Selina's 'Capable' is immediately followed by her coughing uncontrollably — a physical punctuation to her claim of capability
Selina:'We should have hired Navy SEALs instead of those two actual seals.'
Selina:'How do you lose a whole person? A cuff link I get, but not a person.'
Selina:Selina's insult speech: 'You're parasites. You're like an infestation of mediocrity. I don't care if you're a 1950s radio broadcaster. You're Fozzie Bear who's been ripped up and used to smuggle heroin. A Nazi doctor. I don't even know what the fuck you are.'
Selina:'Call NASA. They've got to have a satellite that can pinpoint a moron.'
Gary · Selina:Gary trying to end the team talk: 'Tom. Tom.' / 'Shut up, Gary.' / 'Shut... mm-hmm.' / 'I do the team talks, okay?'
Selina · Gary · Others:Temperature disagreement: 'I'm cold.' / 'It's actually about 110 in here.' / 'You could grow tomatoes in here.'
Richard · Selina · Gary:Richard insisting on introducing himself to the president: 'I brought him also, ma'am. Richard Splett.' / 'She already knows who you are. You can go.' / 'No, no, no. Not you. Not you.'
Selina:'There's Pierce. He even walks dumb. Every time I see him, I hear circus music.'
Bill · Selina:I could pardon you? / That wouldn't look good. You'd be the first person to say that. / I'm not entirely sure I would in this circumstance.
Selina · Bill:Hey, Bill, I got a lot on the line with my presidency right now, so I don't really have time to be thinking about your whatever the fuck it is. / Probable imprisonment.
Karen · Selina:Karen being asked a hypothetical question and taking a full 30 seconds to say essentially nothing.
Selina:Screw this whole sloppy, backseat blowjob of a night anyway. I don't give a shit.
Selina:Rescinded is my new favorite word!
Selina · Ben:Your website is shit. / Honest to God. Shit. / Go back to the Shire, you fucking moonfaced hobbit.
Selina:'Oh, Tom James. Ooh, it's Tom James. He's so dreamy. Sign my tits, Tom James.'
Tom James · Selina:Madam President, I don't want to be impotent. / I... I don't really... / In your administration.
Tom James · Selina:No, I want to be treasury secretary. / What? / As well as veep. / You want to run my economy? / Bank of Tom James.
Selina:Anything else you want to ask for? Want your face on money or something?
Selina:Want that TV? Take it.
Selina:Fuck Iowa. I'd say nuke it, but I think someone already did.
Selina:God, I am so tense. I could crack a walnut in my ass.
Kent · Selina:Feeling kind of zen-ish, you know? I realize that there's nothing more I can do. Things are out of my control and I just have to let the tension go. / Get the fuck out of here, Kent.
Selina · Catherine:Yeah, and he was, like, 60. / He was 35.
Selina:You know, Catherine, men are horrible. Okay? I mean, I have to just tell it to you like it is, honey. But all men are awful.
Selina:And the key is to just find a man who's the least horrible.
Selina · Catherine:Oh, look at that photo of you and me. You look like me in that picture. / No. No, uh-uh. Not at all.
Selina:Oh, there's Daddy. / Horrible.
Selina:God, it always seems longer with Catherine.
Selina:TV's Amy Brookheimer.
Selina:Amy Brookheimer who so successfully ran my campaign until she became unwell.
Selina:These are projections. These are not real results. They're ghosts.
Selina:This fucking job sucks anyway.
Selina:Please don't electrocute me.
Selina · Bill O'Brien:Selina desperately trying not to complete the concession call she's mid-way through with O'Brien.
Selina:I don't know why you would even imagine that I would be doing that, Bill.
Selina:I'm taking the White House. Please leave the hot tub on.
Selina:What? Uh, well, let's see. First of all, no. And then the other thing I really wanted to say was no.
Kent · Selina · Ben:Tie, like it's a tie? You mean, we tie? / You do. / What happens when there's a tie? / Everybody goes online to try to find out what happens if we get a tie. Way ahead of you. Shit, I'm just getting how to tie a tie.
Selina:Is there a book? Like an old-fashioned... like a paper book?
Selina:You do your best. You try to serve the people and then they just fuck you over. And you know why? Because they're ignorant and they're dumb as shit. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is democracy.
Selina:Why are there so many amendments? Get it right the first time, people.
Aide · Selina:Oh, he's gone to talk to the crowd at the rally. / What? / The fuck he has.
Selina:No, I'll tell you what's unprecedented, Kent. A tie is unprecedented. So is becoming the first lady president. So is that jackoff becoming president through the back door.
Selina:Okay? The rule book's been torn up now and America is wiping its nasty ass with it.
Selina:That fucking guy with his fucking charm and his fucking son and his fucking wheelchair with his spine all fucked up.
Selina:Folks, you don't know her, but this is Karen Collins. And she has been a friend of mine for a while.
Selina:Amy Brookheimer who so successfully ran my campaign until she became unwell.
Selina:Yeah, I'll say. You might want to watch that if you become president.
Selina:Why don't you go help them with the balloons?
Selina:What a night. In a democracy such as ours, it falls to the people to choose their president, and that is what you attempted to do last night.
Selina:I wish to say on a personal note that although there is a tie, I am most privileged to have won the popular vote.
Selina:No matter who you voted for, I am your president.
Selina:I forgot to thank the voters for making our country look like a high school Spanish club.
Selina:Didn't those founding fuckers ever hear of an odd number?
Selina:Two great Greek contributions to society... democracy and getting fucked up the ass. I've tried both and they're way overrated, like jazz.
Selina:My bowling coach used to say a tie was like kissing your sister. Well, this feels like my sister took a shit on my chest.
Selina:There is no world in which I am going to be vice president to that smug, Dick Van Dyke-looking motherfucker Tom James.
Selina · Catherine · Ben:Catherine filming with her camera — 'My thesis film about the tie. She majored in film at Vassar College.'
Selina:65 grand a year to watch movies.
Catherine · Selina:I never came up with a thesis my advisor liked because I had that thing last semester where I was tired all the time... Okay, we don't have time to hear the story of your syndrome.
Selina:What about your minor, dance? Why don't you make up a little kind of a dance about the election? You know, you can't decide should you dance or should you not dance?
Selina:Please, Catherine, stop with the whining, all right? You're gonna shatter the bulletproof glass in here.
Selina:Life gives you Yemen, you got to make Yemenade.
Selina:The only thing Catherine ever finished was an entire ice cream cake.
Amy · Selina:Actually, four Christian missionaries burned to death. Oh, even better.
Selina:This thing on the side of my face feels like a dog nipple.
Selina · Gary · Ben:It's a pimple that erupted during a very stressful time. / For the stress pimple? Ben gets those on his butt.
Selina:You're a nincompoop. We are in the middle of a tied election. There is no time for some Chinese baby. Cancel it and see if you can get your money back.
Selina · Ben:How many abortions does a pro-lifer have to pressure his mistress into before the people turn on him? Three.
Selina:There's only one person I'd be more surprised to see today in the Roosevelt Room and that's Teddy fucking Roosevelt.
Gary · Selina:How's Zitzilla looking? / Angry. You been picking at it? / No. Ahem, well, maybe a little bit, but...
Selina · Gary:Oh, that is so hot. / It's supposed to be hot. / And the tea is cold.
Selina · aide:Any chance they fixed the Wi-Fi? / I'll check.
Selina:Gosh, I like Bob. I mean, apart from the discolored tooth. But that's obviously not a reason to replace him. Can they replace the tooth?
Selina · Keith · Marjorie:Selina visibly struggles to find diplomatic words about why Agent Palmiotti doesn't look like her, with long awkward pauses — 'I am not quite seeing it, only because I'm... well, you are...' — while clearly trying not to say the agent is Black.
Selina · Keith · Gary:Keith, are you really not seeing what it is I'm seeing? / No, ma'am. / Gary, can you help me out here? / She smells completely different, so, you know...
Selina · Kent · team:Nevada recount revelation — Selina's team explodes in joy, then Selina mispronounces 'Nevada' as 'Nev-AY-da' and is immediately corrected to 'Nev-ADD-a' twice.
Selina · Ben · Gary · Marjorie:Selina's staff reacting with pure joy to the Nevada recount news — jumping, laughing, Oh!-ing — while the new secret service agent stands impassively nearby
Selina:No, shut up, Kent. You already lost Nevada for me once.
Richard · Selina · Jonah:I actually did my doctorate in recount procedures in the West. / Excellent work, Richard. Richard works for me. / You have a doctorate? Two. Constitutional law and veterinary medicine, which was my fallback. / But you were getting my coffee.
Richard · Selina:Which is much harder 'cause you have so many different moods. Like a half-caff and a full-caff, macchiato. / 'Ma-key-ato.' / Macchiato.
Selina:Wow, I thought your last one was flowery, vacuous nonsense. This one is much worse. Excellent, Mike.
Gary · Selina:The pimple during the press conference — reporters and cameras focused on Selina's face as it becomes increasingly prominent, described by Gary: 'It's looking a little worse. Wherever you stand in the room, it's still looking at you.'
Selina · Ben:Oh, suck my dick. / Panic from the recount led to a huge sell-off and the market is so overmargined, blammo. They're already calling it Black Wednesday. / Jesus, it's only Wednesday?
Ben · Selina:They're already calling it Black Wednesday. / Jesus, it's only Wednesday?
aide · Selina:He says, 'The market crash caused a blotch on the face of America.' / Is that about my pimple?
Selina:You did this, okay? All that heat made it grow bigger. You baked a fucking soufflé on my face.
Selina:How come no one ever tries to assassinate a vice president?
Selina · Ben · Mike:Why don't we appoint an economy czar for a start? / Like an empty cop car they park on the side of the road to slow speeders. / Those cars are empty?
aide · Selina:Tom James just gave an interview saying he wants to make sure they're recounting all the absentee ballots of our men and women bravely serving overseas. / What is he doing? He knows that the military hates me.
Selina · Richard · Amy · Ben:No, he's off book. / No, ma'am, I think that means he's learned all his lines and no longer needs a script. / No, he's off book. / Off the hook? / No, he's... God, he's deviating from the book of the things that he should do. / You mean off the rails.
Amy · Selina:If you want a super smart woman who's young and brilliant, then why not? / Yeah, I really want that. I really do.
aide · Selina:Ma'am, someone opened a Twitter account for the pimple. / It's called POTUS. Pimple of the United States. / There are 220,000 followers as of five minutes ago. / How many Twitter followers do I have? / Approaching that.
Selina:Oh, czar she blows.
Selina · Tom James:Tom, stop it. You wanted to be Treasury Secretary. Remember? I don't see how this is any different than that. / Well, respectfully, Madam President, I hope you do because if the President of the United States can't tell the difference between Treasury Secretary and stock market patsy, that's pretty disturbing. / Then you accept?
Selina · Tom James:Tom, I'm asking you as the President of the United States. / And, respectfully, I am declining. / I'm not picking up any respect. But you're getting the declining?
Selina:Do you know what Candi Caruso's real name is? It's Candice. And she changed it to Candi with an I. If she does that to her own goddamn name, how the hell is she going to handle a potential recount?
Selina:This afternoon I asked Tom James to serve as economy czar and to my delight, he said yes.
Selina:Oh, my God. Mike, when are the auditions for 'Music Man'?
Selina:Selina sees Marjorie (the Black Secret Service agent) at the symposium on race and does a visible double-take: 'Oh, wow, never mind.'
Selina:I look around here today and I see a rainbow of faces. Faces from the savannahs of Africa to the cities and towns of England. Faces from... from Holland and even perhaps Norway.
Selina · Tom James:I gave you my decision. / Oh, suck it. / Excuse me? / Yeah, you heard me. I LBJ'd you, okay? I'm the LBJ queen and you are Sargent 'Suck It' Shriver.
Gary · Selina:Ma'am, he said no irritants. / You're an irritant.
Selina · Kent:How much did we lose Idaho by? / Shellacked. Uh, well over 212,000 votes. / Then I declare a state of go fuck yourself. I'm not spending money to scrape mud off a bunch of dirt roads.
Selina · doctor · Kent:Don't you think that mudslides are the funniest kind of natural disasters? / I've always been partial to sinkholes. You know, ah! / (LAUGHS) Those are hilarious. / Nature's trapdoor.
doctor · Selina · Gary:You're gonna feel a small... / Oh, no, we're not gonna do this. But thanks for coming. / Yes, ma'am. / Cold compress, Gary.
Selina · Ben:What the fuck is going on here? Why are they all white? / Looks like the NHL All-Star Weekend.
Selina · aide · Ben:We need to round up some blacks and fast. / We need to round up... / Don't say it over the radio, asshole.
Selina:Richard! Oh, thank God. Go get Sue. We need her now.
Selina · Sue:In your fucking face, Sue. / (ALARM BLARING) Fuck! — Sue's dramatic entrance triggers an armed lockdown.
Selina · Ben:Wow, he looks puffy on TV. / Well, prison will get him in shape.
Selina:I'm having reservations about the reservations.
Selina:I'm at Walter Reed. I'm meeting troops and shaking God only knows what.
Selina:Oh, God, Maddox is probably going to study the effects of legalized prostitution on his dick.
Selina:Well, maybe we can get some six-year-old Asian kid to fix it.
Mike · Selina:Mike reveals baby will be named Ellen after 'Wendy's mom. Actually, her stepmom. She has a difficult relation...' — then cuts off mid-sentence.
Ben · Selina:She summers in Vinyardo Del Martha. / She's from El New Hampshire.
Ben · Selina:He makes a lot of sense. [beat] All right, so they've got a Secretary of State and what do I have? Harpo, Chico, and Shito.
Selina:Also an accomplished ballroom dancer.
Selina:He's our Whitman hit man.
Selina:Maybe they can find out what some of these people are doing.
Selina:To thank them for what? This Olympic-size swimming pool of shit that I'm doing the backstroke in right now?
Selina:He loves all that fake smiley shit.
Mike · Selina:It's a veritable who's who of Wall Street. / Well, that sounds a lot sexier than my thing. Tell Tom that I get dibs on that.
Selina:What in the lunatic fuck is the master cleanse? Sounds like Nazi domestic policy.
Selina · Mike:Do you still take shits? / Not exactly take.
Tom James · Selina:Great idea of yours. / Yeah, it is, isn't it? I'm looking forward to hearing what my next great idea is gonna be.
Charlie Baird · Selina:I thought this was going to be two hours of Tom James lecturing us about being paid too much. / Well, Tom can be, dare I say... a bit of an asshat? / Actually, I was gonna say a champion for the middle class, but I kind of like your thing better.
Selina · Charlie Baird:Two grand? Where'd you find that? In your sofa seat cushion? / I think it was in my other pants, Madam President.
Selina · Eli Park:Not in jail for what she did to you. / Honestly, it is an outrage. But I'm happy you're here.
Charlie Baird · Selina:Brooks Brothers sews prenups into all our suits. / Oh, are you divorced? / Oh, yeah, proudly. Yeah, best thing me and my husband ever did. Including our daughter.
Selina:Yeah, best thing me and my husband ever did. Including our daughter.
Selina · Charlie Baird:Katie Gross? You know Katie Gross? I went to Smith with Katie Gross. I dated Katie Gross. / Yeah, so did I. / 'Cause I was at Smith. No, it's a Smith joke.
Selina · Gary:Special or normal? / Well, they seemed normal, but I'll confirm.
Selina · Olympic Athlete:So congratulations on your gold medal. / It's bronze.
Selina · Gary:Fuck am I supposed to do with this? / It'd be nice for your library.
Selina · Gary:The extended 'banking task force' exchange as a thinly veiled desire for another meeting with Charlie Baird.
Gary · Selina:Ma'am, if you want, I can arrange a more discreet banking task force. / I don't want that kind of banking task force. I want the banking task force that I want.
Selina:Oh, just hang up on her. Wait, where is Catherine? She should be getting this for her little movie.
Ben · Selina:Chung will do it. / Chung would volunteer for a beheading video to get national airtime.
Selina:Can you go tell him to fuck a bag of glass or something?
Selina:Why did Tom James just wrap up his balls in butcher paper and put them in my purse?
Ben · Selina:Because he thinks you're gonna win Nevada. / Tom thinks I'm gonna win Nevada? / 'Nev-add-a.' He's the smartest guy in DC.
Selina · Gary:Hey, I'm gonna be president, so I can go take a shit in the Rose Garden if I want to. / We used to call that a Jimmy Carter.
Charlie Baird · Selina:I warn you, I had a pretty comprehensive White House tour on my fifth grade class trip. I actually know a lot about West Wing history if you'd like... no.
Charlie · Selina:I feel like that guy doesn't like me very much. / Who, Gary? / Yeah. / Come on, that's like saying that the cat doesn't like you or that table doesn't like you.
Selina:Now there's this Rockwell down here that is so stunning and I swear to God if I lose this fucking election, I'm gonna stick it in my suitcase and I'm taking it with me.
Selina · Charlie Baird:This is the actual closet where Warren Harding fathered a child with his teenage mistress. / They left that off our fifth grade tour.
Selina · Charlie Baird:Fuck, today. / Now, was that a vote in favor of today? / Oh, that was a fuck, comma, today, yes!
Selina:You know, I hardly ever did that with President Hughes. And even when we did, I was just kind of going through the motions.
Selina:Yeah, I'm not that kind of a president.
Selina · Bob Bradley:No, oh, wait a minute. You mean Nevada. / What did I say? / You said Nebraska. / Well, I'll get that one for you, too.
Selina:You know, I was over in the East Wing and I saw a painting of Sue holding George Washington's horse.
Selina:You're kidding. / No. / He fucked me and then he fucked me? / What, is he trying to fuck me?
Selina:You went straight from here to O'Brien's hotel? / Are you kidding me? Did you take a shower at least in between?
Selina:Were you thinking about his cabinet while you were fucking me? Seriously. Were you fantasizing I had some sort of a goatee and was on the wait list for a liver?
Selina · Charlie Baird:You didn't think it was a conflict... first of all, he doesn't even have a cabinet. Look, if you win the election, it doesn't mean anything anyway. / If O'Brien wins the election... / Okay, let's hear what this is. / ...you've slept with the Secretary of the Treasury.
Selina · Charlie Baird:SELINA: Oh, that's classy. This is over. / Over? I didn't even know it was a thing. / Absolutely not a thing. And if it was a thing, it's over.
Ben · Selina:'Even Wall Street's got a boner for you guys.' / 'Really? The market's up?' / 'No, it's flat. But not down is straight up for us at this point.'
Selina:'I got a great idea. Why don't we give the Chinese their own log-ins and passwords? Save everybody a lot of time.'
Selina:Charlie says O'Brien won't go down on his wife without biscuits and gravy.
Selina:Selina asking staff to show her which Twitter button to push for nice tweets about her and Charlie, mid-crisis

Selina:'See? Crapistan's calling.' — Selina's response to being interrupted by CIA briefing
Selina · Catherine:'Catherine, do not use any of the vulgar parts.' / 'Yeah, but that's like all of it, Mom.' / 'Well, then don't use it.' / 'But it's a doc.' / 'A what?' / 'A documentary.' / 'Then say that.'
Selina:'Do the Israelis know anything about this? Because they're a sneaky bunch of fucks.'
Mike · Marjorie · Selina:Mike trying to physically stop Selina from tweeting by calling through the door — while Marjorie blocks him
Selina · Mike:'I pushed that feather button.' / 'I know, you tweet — that's a tweet.' — the 'feather button' as Selina's understanding of the tweet icon
Selina:'Well, what the FOL are we supposed to do about this?'
Selina · Mike:'So is that what I think happened? That China tweeted this?' / 'Oh, no, ma'am, no. You have no idea what happened.'
Selina:'No, you don't, Mike. History has proven that.' — Selina shutting Mike down when he claims to have a better idea
Mike · Selina · Ben · Others:Why don't you just tell the truth? / I don't sound like that. / That's exactly how you sound. / No, I don't. / Spot-on. / Yeah, it's pretty close.
Selina:'Are we paying you by the word here, Kent, or what?'
Selina:'And yet he's responding.'
Ben · Selina:'Nev-ADD-a' — someone corrects Selina's pronunciation of Nevada mid-crisis
Selina · Ben:'You're the one who suggested we all live in the Matrix.' / 'Ma'am, nobody chose to live in the Matrix. The machines rose up and placed humans in the Matrix so they could use them as a biological power source.'
Selina:'Whose side were you on?' — Selina responding to Ben's Matrix explanation
Selina:'Or we could go to the United Nations and have them issue...' / 'Have them what? Have them help us park in front of a fire hydrant? I mean, come on.'
Selina:Have them what? Have them help us park in front of a fire hydrant? I mean, come on.
Bob · Selina:'You caught the fish, now gut the fish.' / 'You're wearing the fireman's hat, now put out the fire.' / 'Yes! This is better than phone sex.' / 'Well, I just came.'
Bob · Selina:You caught the fish, now gut the fish. / You're wearing the fireman's hat, now put out the fire. / Yes! This is better than phone sex. / Well, I just came.
Gary · Selina:'There's a new stegosaurus.' / 'That's not my problem.'
Gary · Selina:There's a new stegosaurus. / That's not my problem.
Selina:God, please back up your face, Amy, okay? Back it up.
Selina · Amy · Ben:Selina reassuring Amy that she's 'very important to the campaign' and doing 'a great, very good job' — clearly to manage her suspicions about Bob
Selina · Gary:Just all of this just screams Grace Kelly. / I know. / I don't like my eyes, though. / What? / Yeah, I feel like I've got two diaper bags underneath. / No, no, no, no. I don't think... / Oh, God. / I need my ring.
Selina:'I love to hear that. Okay, you're hanging on to me like a skin tag.'
Selina · Ben:Selina frantically calls staff who don't answer; Ben tries Dan again; they discover Bob left the meeting mid-session and got in a cab
Selina · Dan:'Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, Jonah.' — Selina, then Dan, both immediately saying the same thing
Selina:Selina's museum entrance: 'That's sort of a grey-blue dress. Isn't that something?'
Selina:She's a fucking cunt. You didn't hear it from me.
Selina:'She's a fucking cunt. You didn't hear it from me.'

Selina:'I don't know what you're saying, but you keep doing that math stuff, Kent, no matter how much anyone makes fun of you, okay?'
Selina · Amy:'I just want you to know that I could not have done it without Richard, and I want you to please relay my thanks to him.' — Selina telling Amy to thank Richard
Selina:Why is my hair all spinning around and these things, like you, are doing nothin'?
Selina:Is it too late to turn them into oil derricks?
Aide · Selina:Your mother's in the hospital. / What? / It looks like a stroke. / Again?
Selina:After I lost my first election for state senate, Mother says to me, 'Well, it's not your fault. It's just your toothy smile.'
Staff member · Selina · Another staff member:Oh my God, I love your smile! / That's not the point. / Looks weirder if you don't show your teeth.
Selina:Oh, call Kent. [cuts immediately to ballot hearing]
Ben · Selina:Jesus, an electoral protest? / A fake protest. That is classic O'Brien. It's such a scumbag move.
Gary · Selina · Amy:Ma'am, Amy's calling. / Ame, hi. What's going on? / Ma'am, I'm so, so sorry. / What? What happened? / Your mother. I read on HuffPo that she was in the hospital.

Gary · Monica · Selina:I just want to say my wife is obsessed with your spiced eggnog. We drink it year-round. / It makes a really yummy ice cream. / Shut up.
Selina · Catherine:I mean, the campaign's over. I don't have to pretend to like country music anymore. / This is Tim McGraw. It's Mee-Maw's favorite song.
Selina:What? No. Mee-Maw's favorite song is whatever is playing in the background at Neiman Marcus.
Selina:Honey, if I wanted to talk to an unconscious person, I'd book myself on Charlie Rose.
Selina:What happened to her nails? Looks like she's been diggin' for potatoes or something.
Selina:She always wore dishwashing gloves when she gave me my bath. / Which is why I don't do dishes. I just now realized that.
Selina · Dr. Mirpuri:Dr. Mir... / Mirpuri. / 'Mir-piri.' Okay. How is she doing?
Dr. Mirpuri · Emily (nail technician) · Selina:I'm afraid she'll need to stay on life support until she expires. / Did you still want to do her nails? / Oh, yes, I do.
Selina · Dr. Mirpuri:Well, Dr. McCurry... / Mirpuri. / Yes, that's what I said.
Selina:Oh, wow, that is loud, honey. That's loud. / Oh, 'Stephen Hawking' here is indisposed, so I'll just...
Selina:I just needed to get a break from the Hindu Grim Reaper out there.
Kent · Selina:...that has driven up your favorables. / I'm talking about pulling the plug on my mother here. / How is half a percentage point in the polls supposed to sweeten that shit biscuit? / More like double digits. / Really?
Selina · Kent:Well, that is some wild and heavy stuff. / Indeed. / Yeah. I got some real soul-searching to do.
Selina · Mike:Okay, so now what I need is a quiet place to think that doesn't have Mike's stupid face in it. / I can turn around, ma'am.
Ben · Selina · Ben · Selina · Aide · Kent:Those we have loved cannot be lost because they are always a part of us. / Thank you, Ben, and whoever wrote those words. / Look what I found. / Too late. / Of course. / I recognize those words. They were in the card your wife sent me when my cat Fibonacci passed.
O'Brien protesters · Ben · Selina:Hey, hey, ho, ho, / This endless recount's got to go. / God, that's a great chant. / Just catchy.
Selina · Gary:Do you pray? / A lot. / What do you pray for? / You, you know...
Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary:O Lord God, it's me, Selina. / Grant me wisdom and strength. / Give us Your comforting presence... I've got it now. / Lord God, please ease my mother's pain and suffering. / Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. / Ease her passing. Ease it all. / Yes. / Ease it down the... / ...the... / Lord, let her daughter, Thy humble servant, be the first woman elected President of the United States. / Please, this is so much to bear. / Oh, it is, Lord. It is.
Selina · Gary:No, I mean actually lift me up 'cause my heel is stuck in this thing. / Yeah, I got it.
Selina:Selina's extended, fumbling goodbye to her comatose mother — including long silences — followed by 'Well, that's much better.' [referring to the music being turned off]
Selina · Dr. Mirpuri:So in your experience, how long does this sort of thing carry on? / Usually minutes. / Okay. / I have seen hours. / Days are very rare. / Oh, well, that's not gonna work, because for me with my schedule and life.
Selina:Well, why don't you check your phones? Sounds like you shoplifted a bunch of vibrators.
Aide · Selina · Gary:The Nevada State Supreme Court issued a temporary stay of certification. The count will continue. / Oh, my prayer worked, right?! / Maybe.
Catherine · Selina · Catherine · Selina · Catherine · Selina · Catherine · Selina:Is Mee-Maw better? / Catherine. / I thought you were here. / No, I went to get coffee. / I asked if you wanted anything. / No, I didn't hear you say that. / She's gone? / You pulled the plug without me? / It wasn't a plug. It was a ventilator tube that they just...
Selina:Mother would never let me use the good piano. I always had to take my lessons on the shitty upright in the den.
Gary · Catherine · Selina:Oh, you know what? That would be a good story for the eulogy. / Mom, why would you want to paint Mee-Maw in such a negative light? / Oh, Catherine, Thomas fucking Kinkade couldn't paint Mee-Maw in a positive light.
Selina · Catherine · Gary:Mee-Maw blamed me for his death. / What? / I think that's probably your interpretation of it.
Selina:Oh, Catherine, you have no idea what it was like to be the only daughter of a pathological narcissist.
George Huntzinger · Selina:Or should I say Madam President? / Oh, my goodness. You know what? You were always my favorite of all of Mother's lawyers.
George · Selina · Selina · Selina · George:I feared I might have to start driving over them to get in here. / Really? Protesters? / This country's just lost its sense of decency. / Well, they're animals. / No, no. Heavens, no. They're well-wishers.
Selina · George:Oh, my goodness. I feel like a bride. A sad bride because, of course, this is a day of grief. / Her brain was quite damaged for quite a long time.
Selina:Nevada is my state. I'm gonna be president. I'm gonna be the first elected lady president. I'm gonna have a lovely inauguration. Billy Joel is gonna sing.
Selina:You're gonna cancel this recount like Anne Frank's bat mitzvah.
Selina:Maybe I'll get assassinated.
Selina · Selina · Andrew:Andrew, you know that we're at a funeral, right? / We're not at Club Med. / In here... it's always been you.
Selina:In a church.
Tom James · Selina · Tom James:I see that Charlie Baird is here. / Yes. Yeah, he flew in this morning. / So who's fisting the American economy while he's here?
Tom James · Selina · Charlie Baird · Selina · Charlie Baird:Wow, your ex, not afraid to mix business with mourning. / Oh, yeah. How soon after meeting you did he ask you to invest in his latest venture? / 17 seconds. / Really? / I timed it.
Tom James · Selina · Charlie Baird · Charlie Baird:Some can't-lose scheme about the third largest hotel chain in Brazil. / 'Can't lose.' / Can't lose. / Got to see if I still have my wallet.
Selina · Mike:Andrew. / Can anybody get in on this Brazil thing? / I got a baby to pay for.
Catherine · Selina:Please let me play the Tim McGraw song. / Seriously, Catherine, this is a funeral, not a NASCAR race.
Selina:Catherine, you are forbidden from saying the words 'Tim McGraw' ever again.
Selina · Ben · Ben · Selina · Ben · Selina:Why would China go through Qatar? / Qataris love to insert themselves. / They're wet-fingered. / They're into ass play? / No, they have a gift for sensing prevailing political winds. / I'll bet they're into ass play, too.
Selina · Gary:This China thing is like legacy material, right? / Nobel Peace Prize material.
Kent · Selina:We lost the popular vote. / Oh, God.
Selina:My mother had a good piano.
Selina:I'm sorry. It's just all sort of hitting me right now. / I have lost... so much.
Selina:I can't. I can't. / Catherine, play the Tim McGraw thing.
Ben · Selina · Someone:To Congress we go. / To Congress we go, yeah. / Congratulations.
Selina:Are they gonna hit the minibar tonight at their hotel?
aide/handler · Selina:Well, they were bred to be eaten, so they'll probably collapse from their own weight and die in a year or two, tops. Is there a more fun way to say that?
Selina:I hereby declare Drumstick and Cranberry pardoned from the Thanksgiving dinner table — and also for tax evasion.
Selina:Maybe I can pardon a car with a defective airbag and we can wrap up Michigan.
Selina:Can somebody reach around the back of Kent's head and power him down?
Selina:My eyelids are seriously starting to look like Keith Richards' ball sack.
Selina · Marjorie:Husband? You're married? / Yes. Last year. / 250 people, no one from work.
Selina:God, all that exercising and Glorious Leader still can't seem to take off a pound, right? That haircut's not doing him any favors.
Selina · Gary · Dr. Abernathy:A De-bagging? Is that what you just said? I thought you said tea-bagging. No, no, no. That's my department.
Selina:He means that literally. He doesn't know what the other thing is.
Gary · Selina:Well, I have a bachelor's degree in hotel management from Cornell University. No, you don't.
Selina:No! He's the old face of this administration. This is the new face.
Selina:It really hurts to roll my eyes. Okay, yes, ask Doyle.
Selina:Is he the one with the prostitute problem? Mmm... Oh, never mind. They all have that. House is like Caligula's room.
Selina:Bordello Bill is giving me advice.
Selina:Bordello Bill is giving me advice.
Selina:Coffey. Where does he stick his dick?
Selina:Jeez, he couldn't eat a turkey unless you put it in a blender and fed it to him through a straw.
aide · Selina:Sherman's dead. / Ow! Oh, my God, that hurts so much. Please don't surprise me like that again. / Why couldn't he have waited until after the weekend?
Ben · Selina:Well, in many ways, this could be the best thing that could happen. / Say what, now?
Selina:If I had known that, I would have killed him myself.
Selina:Sherman may have been from the other side of the aisle, but he's a decent guy even though he still used the word 'coloreds.'
Selina · Doyle:'Sherman may have been from the other side of the aisle, but he's a decent guy even though he still used the word coloreds.' 'Nobody's perfect, right?'
Selina:And he also said he'd kick you off the ticket. See, there's that Doyle dazzle and I'm a big fan of it.
Doyle · Selina:Say, did Ben do this to you? Because I can get you to a shelter. / I love it. Domestic abuse jokes. They just tickle me.
Selina:Somewhere in the world there's a woman exactly my age getting her pussy eaten and I'm stuck here watching this.
Selina · Jaeger:I also want to take this opportunity to introduce Congressman Bill Jaeger from the first district in the great state of Wisconsin. [Jaeger waves]
Selina · Marjorie:How was your Thanksgiving, Marjorie? / It was nice, ma'am. / Where were you? / Maryland, ma'am. / Oh, that's where I'm from. / I know, ma'am.
Selina · aide · Selina:That's tofurkey. It's made from... / Wheat, protein, organic tofu. / ...wheat, protein, and organic tofu.
Selina:We're gonna have a mutiny. We're gonna have a mut... / We're gonna have a mutiny. Let's get some meat on your bones. Or we'll put this on your bones.
Selina · aide:What? / What is that? / Oh, my God. Ah! / Oh. / Here. / Just... shit. / I bet you there's about 20 pieces of corn in here. Could be more. Probably fit a lot of corn in there. Oh, my God.
Selina:Well, I hope to fiscal fuck the fed has a trillion dollars stuffed in a mattress somewhere.
Selina · Unknown Advisor:And if we do nothing? / Go to the ATM Monday and dust will come out.
Tom James · Selina:My pick is EM Wheelright. / You know what, Tom? I think... oh, yes. What he just said.
Selina:Uh-huh. How is Catherine there and also here?
Selina · Gary · Staffers:"Recession Has a New NAME: the Selina Slump"? / No. Gary, you have the machine? / Listen to this. / 'In a further sign of low morale'... / No, you've got to read it properly. / Nope, that's not it. / You've got to spin it. / Here we go. Why does it keep doing the turning?
Selina · Gary:"A high-level West Wing staffer was recently overheard calling the president the C word." / Can you believe this shit? / Yeah, this is broken, by the way.
Selina · Staffer:We need a Jonah whisperer, except somebody who's gonna, like, yell in his face and call him stupid. / Oh, we need Dan Egan.
Selina · Ben:Well, are you doing it? / You're just sitting here farting into my couch.
Selina:I want you to find out who called me a cunt.
Selina · Staffer · Tom James:I've made my decision. We are going to bail out Charlie's bank. I don't care what hits we take. / Bravo, Madam President. / That's my final solution. / 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' / Do you get it? Yeah.
Selina · Catherine:Are you even getting any of this? / Getting what? / I was looking thoughtfully out the window. / Some straight up JFK level shit. / I was just getting some B-roll of the fax machine.
Charlie Baird · Gary · Selina:How do you look so good with all this stress? You're glowing. You actually look younger. What did you do? / Oh, my God, he noticed. / What? / Uh, I have a new facial moisturizer. / And a new soap.
Gary · Selina · Charlie:Gary. / Yeah, I'll just stand over here. / Actually, I think... / I'll just leave the room. / Yes. / Yeah.
Selina · Charlie:Do you want to just have sex? / Yeah. / Yeah. / It's got to be quick, though. I got wheels up at 9:30. / Ooh, that turns me on.
Selina · Amy:I want you to fire Gerry Duggan, Phil Neary and what's her ass, Lisa... / Hatch? / Yeah, I want her out of the comms department, okay? / Because they should not have let an article about me being called a cunt get out in the first place.
Selina:I'll tell you something, Amy. A lot of people don't want me to be president. And you know why. Because fundamentally, people hate women, right?
Amy · Selina:You okay, ma'am? / Have you ever been called a cunt? / Many times. / Well, now I have, too, apparently once.
Catherine · Selina:Hey, Mom, I'm back. / You were gone? Oh, right, you were in New Hampshire.
Catherine · Selina:Catherine's relationship backstory monologue: '...why things didn't work out between me and Jason. Or the guy in college who wanted to watch me pee. Or the guy with the weirdly high voice. No, there were two guys with weirdly high voices. / Yeah, there were two.'
Selina · Ben:What would you guys do if you had to choose between your cock and your balls? / I could lose them both. I mean, at this stage they're purely decorative.
Sue · Selina:That's Korean for 'I hate you.' / Marjorie? / That is her name, right?
Selina · Catherine:Oh, Catherine. Honey, you wanted to talk to me privately before. Now is a perfect time. / Really? / Mm-hmm. Now, what happened to the boyfriend with the high voice? / He couldn't go to the bathroom?
Selina:On second thought, we are now going to bail out Charlie and Wheelright. Thank you. / Yeah. / No. You know what? On third thought, let's just stick with the plan before. We're going to bail out Paulsten.
Selina · Mike:Good evening. It is me again. / Um, yeah, so I was just talking to Mike and I definitely want to bail out Wheelright.
Selina · Tom James:Come on, Charlie, 100%. / 100%. / All right, great. / Now, on the other hand, bailing out your boyfriend, I mean, that could be career-ending, right? / Yeah, right. / But, I mean, if you had a gun to your head... / Oh, maybe the gun doesn't have any bullets.
Ben · Selina:I got an idea. You can clear your head out and have a little fun at the same time. / What? / Yeah, I'll call Jonah and Dan and you can tear them a six-pack of new assholes.
Selina:Dan, I cannot fucking believe how terrible you are at your job. What, are you running on a platform of higher taxes and episiotomies?
Selina · Dan · Jonah:Put that world's tallest pile of garbage on the phone right now. / It's the president. / Fuck... / Hello, ma'am. / Hey, hunchback.
Selina:I don't know what you've been doing instead of trying to win, but I'm gonna guess that it has the word anal in it.
Selina:Now, you learn to control your cocksucking temper, otherwise I'm gonna come up there myself and I'm gonna shoot you in your fucking mouth.
Selina · Staffer:I've made my final decision. / I'm gonna bail out Charlie. / Madam President, you really don't have to make that decision yet. / I mean, you got a little bit more time. / I don't need more time.
Reporter · Selina · Unknown Bystander:Madam President, what will you be buying for Mr. Baird? / I don't want to spoil Charlie's surprise under the tree... but I'm going to be purchasing a book of poetry by one of my favorite African-American poets, Wanda Coleman. / And I've got my eye on a graphic novel with a very strong female Asian protagonist. / So, merry Chris... happy holidays to everybody, right? / Right. / And let's go shopping. Thank you. / Please don't get me a book for Christmas. / I already have a book.
Selina · Staffer:No, no, that wasn't supposed to come now. / Hey, ma'am. Catherine keeps calling. Do you want to take it? / Uh, what? / No, just let it ring. Okay. / I don't know why she keeps calling.
Charlie · Selina:I'm Chapter 11. Janders is buying my assets. I'm CEO of a fucking yard sale. / Hey, Charlie, you know what? / How could you fucking do this to me? / What do you mean? / 'Politico' was right about you. / No, Charlie... / Hey, you said it wouldn't affect... / I know you had an eye job.
Selina · Unknown Staffer:You made the right call on the banks, ma'am. / Well, you can thank 'When Gary Met Sally' for that one. / He gave me some sappy speech and made me realize what an idiot I was being.
Staffer · Selina:In further good news, ma'am, Jonah had a huge polling bump since he hit on the strategy of attacking you. / What? He's attacking me? / Yeah, and the voters, they love it. / Is that good? / It's really good.
Catherine · Selina · Marjorie:Mom, there's something that I really need to find a way to say to you. / Catherine, I'm in the middle of a shitstorm like... / Please, I've been trying to talk to you for three days and I need to tell you something. / What is it, Catherine? What is it that is so pressing? / I've met someone and I know that this is awkward because you work with them, but we're in love. / Who? / Me and Marjorie. / Who? / Me, ma'am. / What?
Catherine · Selina:Now you know why I've been acting all silly and giggly. / Didn't guess. Didn't guess. / Amazing. / It's... amazing.
Selina · Gary:Uh... / What... / I wish Mother were alive. / 'Cause this definitely would have killed her. / You know how she was.
Amy · Selina:Ma'am, is this a good time? / You bet. / The investigation continues at a rigorous pace. / So who called me a cunt? / Uh... / Was it everybody? / Pretty much, yeah. / You can go.
Selina:Would you like to keep the mugs for your... minivan?
Selina:I mean, my license expired a few years ago, but I get the general idea.
Nickerson · Selina:My Donald. He has chemo today. (GASPS) Fantastic.
Selina:Well, I suppose putting a few pictures up of Muhammad never hurt anyone.
Selina:She's a lesbian, Mike. She's not a werewolf. Although either one would explain why she never shaves her legs.
Selina:When does the White House's most useless press secretary list come out? I can't wait to see who's number one this year.
Selina:Who's 22? The Elephant Man?
Selina:Well, it makes sense. He's got beautiful eyes.
Selina · Gary:Dirty. Just dirty and shady. Door. Door.
Selina · Gary:But what could O'Brien offer him that's better than the vice presidency? [beat] Literally anything.
Selina:Oh! Tom wanted Secretary of the Treasury. I said no. Ah, fuck!
Tom James · Selina:Yes? [I was just checking to see if there was another meeting about me.] Not today.
Selina:No. No. No. That's... get it out. We talked about this. The wife of Congressman Platt designed it. Does she know I'm not the president of Cuba?
Selina · Gary:Are you wearing cologne? A little. (SNIFFS) Smells like birdseed.
Selina:Do you want to just play it like Ellen or do you want to be more like Jodie Foster? Do you want to play it more like a mystery?
Selina:Okay, can you just speak English, Catherine? 'Cause I don't know what you're trying to say... We'll keep it under the gaydar.
Selina · aide:You mean 11:00? Over there? Seriously, can you really not tell time?
Selina:Except it's still just a rat's nest in the back. It needs to pull... maybe you can help her, Marjorie. Just pull it back, sweetheart.
Selina:Would you like a picture for your friends and for your family? [congressmen with escort at White House Christmas party]
Selina:And you're out of here. You can go.
Selina · Mike:Mike, are you dating a hockey player by any chance? You noticed the hockey references? Shit, I thought they were seamless.
Selina:Well, let me get my good-byes out of the way now.
Selina:Ah, Buddy Calhoun in a tie that's not made out of string.
Buddy · Selina:You're the only woman who's ever threatened to grate my balls over a bowl of spaghetti. Night's still young. Knock yourself out.
Selina · Congressman:But can you remind me exactly what happened in Bozeman on 9/11? This is mainly focused on our first responders. Our first responders were terribly traumatized by what happened to the first responders in New York.
Selina:She's single, divorced, has a kid. But he's really a sweetheart. [father trying to set Gary up] God, I feel like somebody's playing a trick on him. They're about to dump a bucket of pig's blood on his head.
Selina:And this is her special friend Marjorie... Let's all say girl power.
Selina:Congressman Baxter, I completely believe you about the whole men's room incident. It sounded very plausible to me.
Selina · Ben:Well, at least we know you don't need big balls. Got large stones for sure.
Ben · Selina:Oh, what about Doyle? You promised him State. He knows I don't keep my promises. He should know by now.
Selina:Let's say that your chief of staff... Nadia, is it? And she's down on her knees and she's got your balls in her hand and she's working your shaft just the way you like it...
Selina:...she says, 'Nyet, after much prayerful consideration, I have to abstain from the upcoming blowjob.' Are you Nadia in this situation?
Ben · Selina · Tom:Let me guess, Jaeger's abstaining. Yeah. Nickerson, too. Tom's not lobbying votes for O'Brien. He's asking people to abstain.
Selina · Tom:I've been watching you all night and I know what you're up to. Oh? You're trying to get up the courage to ask me to dance.
Selina · Tom:I think all this meeting and greeting has really made me work up an appetite. I'm starving. Yeah, you never get the chance to eat at these things. Never. You know what I really have a hankering for? Korean barbecue. There's this great place I heard about.
Selina:(WHISPERS) the Cocksucking Backstabber.
Selina:Oh, keep dancing, Tom. Don't stop dancing. Don't look around. Nobody's gonna help you.
Selina:How stupid are you, you motherfucking snake? I know all about your meeting with Marwood and Purcell.
Selina · Tom:And, by the way, by messing around with that pretty boy Charlie Baird, for God's sake. What? Charlie Baird? What does Charlie Baird have to do with any of this? I don't know. He's got nothing to do with it.
Selina:You are lying now just like you lied back then just like you lied about that night in the cab with the green shoes.
Selina · Tom:No straight man remembers a woman's shoes. Well, you got me. I'm gay, so...
Selina · Tom:Come on, Tom. You wanted to fuck me that night. Just say it. You wanted to fuck my brains out. All right, I wanted to fuck your brains out! There you go. And now you're trying to fuck me tonight. No, I am fucking you tonight.
Selina · Tom:(MOANING) [Selina and Tom apparently having sex, discovered by an aide]
Selina:It's where Woodrow Wilson had some of his most significant strokes.
Selina:If you think that you are getting those worthless toy boats now, I'm gonna shut down those factories faster than you can bedazzle a fucking sweatshirt.
Selina:You're playing a very dangerous game of chicken with the head fucking hen.
Selina:O'Brien is gonna sink your stupid boats and you're gonna look like a hair-sprayed asshole in your 1980s mother-of-the-bride dress.
Selina:And then I'm gonna have the IRS crawl so far up your husband's colon, he's gonna wish the only thing they find is more cancer.
Selina:So can I count on your vote? Or do I need to shove a box of White House M&Ms up your stretched-out, six-baby vag?
Selina · Nickerson:I think I want to hear an okey-dokey, Annie Oakley. Okey-dokey, Annie Oakley. Oh, super-duper, trooper. Now get the fuck out of here, Congresswoman.
Selina:Which one of you Johnny Appledick shit for brains came up with that bit?
Selina:Do you realize that you just handed O'Brien New Hampshire chained to a radiator with its twat shaved?
Selina · Gary:Gary's family, too. / Oh, thank you.
Selina:Oh, I'm excited to get to know fun Marjorie, too. When is she arriving?
Selina:I'm just kidding. I'm just teasing.
Selina:So you're gonna have to keep Charles Ponzi and pussyride away from me.
Selina:You do know you're not really a member of my family, right?
Selina:It sounds delicious and it's adorable. So I'm gonna call it delorable. See? We can all do it.
Selina:Oh, so that's two things she's turned you into.
Selina · Catherine · Marjorie:But it tastes like a ham? / Yeah, it's close. / Not at all.
Selina:How about you touch neither of us?
Selina:Okay, well, that's terrifying, but I actually do think we need to get some wood from outside.
Selina · Ben:What do you got going there, Depravey Crockett? / You can't go in with a plan. The knife tells you.
Selina:How is it that that Asperger salad inserted herself into this situation?
Selina:No, I'll tell you what he likes. Nordic beav. Irresistible. Ooh!
Minna · Selina:Thank you, yes. I have more highlights. / And you changed your eyelids. You had oculoplasty. / Um... / You look more alert.
Selina:Selina reacts to 'You had oculoplasty' with a frozen smile and non-answer [reaction beat]
Minna · Selina:It's been a very hard year. The menopause has really taken a hold of me. / Is that so? Yeah. / Yes. You know... you're menopausal.
Selina · Minna:No, I'm not. / Well... / No? / What? / No, you are. / No, you're older than me, so I... / No, I am actually two years younger. / Oh, I still have regular periods, but my joints, they're very swollen.
Catherine · Selina:The pen gift reveal — Catherine gives Selina a historic pen from the Second Hague Convention, meant for signing peace treaties when officially elected.
Selina:Amex gave me this crazy new card that's made out of black metal.
Andrew · Selina:I noticed two golf carts filled with Asian people. / That's the kitchen crew and the chef. / They wear really nice suits.
Gary · Selina:Gary providing spy-briefing style personal intel on each Chinese official during formal introductions — 'He collects art. His son is a freshman at Georgetown. His favorite snack is freeze-dried strawberries.'
Selina:Thank you. I didn't get any of that except strawberries.
Chinese official · Selina · Ben:This is a depiction of the most popular children's cartoon character in China, Sad Piglet. / It looks just like my daughter Catherine. / Your daughter is a beautiful woman and this is a piglet. / It's upset.
Selina:Believe me, if you say SeaWorld to Catherine you will understand what I'm talking about.
Selina · Gary:The gift exchange escalation — geode, wine from Napa, wine from New Zealand ('local to us and also close to Asia, which makes it local to you as we are all local friends')
Selina:This additional wine, also from a local vineyard in, uh, New Zealand, which is local to us and it's also close to Asia, which makes it local to you as we are all local friends.
Selina · Gary:The Hague pen re-gift — Selina presents Catherine's historic pen as the 'final gift' to the Chinese, having stolen it from Catherine's Christmas present.
Translator · Selina:And now they are discussing how casually you are dressed. / They say you look like a prisoner or a pirate.
Selina:Why did Menopause not warn us that the Chinese were going to out gift us like that?
Selina · Dan/Amy:Oh, my God. What did he do this time? / No, he literally shot himself in the foot. We're in the ER.
Selina · Ben:Oh my God. [sees it on TV] / It's not funny, Ben. / I know, it's terrible. / A little bit of blood.
Selina · Dan/Amy:So lay it on me. How bad is it? / It's a complicated fracture. Shattered some bone. They say it's gonna take... / No, not for him, for me.
President Lu's aide · Selina · Ben:Camp David is where President Eisenhower came to recover after his heart attack. / Yeah. / Is he okay? / President Eis... he's pass... he's dead. He's long gone.
Ben · Selina:Can I bum a piece of gum? / Uh, may I chew gum with you?
Selina:Gracias. / Sorry, no, no. Wrong language.
Selina:Well, we need to work together to better engage with North Korea because the North Koreans are people like us. / [beat] / Except without any food.
Catherine · Selina:Catherine appearing mid-walk: 'Hi Mom! Oh, I'm so happy to see you. / [immediately: raw vegan lecture to Lu's entourage]'
Selina:My family is here as a cover story.
Selina:Can you translate 'we need to get a new translator'?
Selina · Gary · Marjorie:The cashmere gift reveal — Selina gives Marjorie the gift she claims was 'stuck in security,' but it's clearly government-issue cashmere that 'feels like it was woven out of Catherine's silken hair.'
Selina:It's the NRA. / It's a Christmas miracle.
Selina:Then why is my wonton soup so cold every time they deliver it?
Selina · Minna:Kuwait emergency fabrication: 'It's in Kuwait' / 'Because Amir Al-Khabat and myself, we follow each other on Instagram. Only five minutes ago, he posted a picture of his dinner salad.' / 'Ah, well, it happened right after he had that salad, in fact. Sort of an intermezzo emergency.'
Minna · Selina:The Diaoyu Islands demand — 'How do I put this delicately? The Chinese were very disturbed by a recent incident. With your daughter.'
Selina · Minna:That was a complete honest mistake. Catherine was just confused. / But you are her mother. You did not stop her. / How could I have stopped her? I had to let her finish. / You're a mother. You've got a son. I'm sure you've done it before. / No, I have not. / This happens occasionally in Iceland, but there it's just an accident.
Selina · Ben:God, this was their real demand from the beginning. I mean, those islands didn't come out of nowhere. / Actually, they did. The Chinese created islands by piling sediment from under the sea...
Minna · Selina:But what you're gonna need to do is let him get a word in. / Okay, well, you know what? This reminds me of negotiations between India and Bhutan. / Okay, this is what I'm talking about.
Selina:Oh, no. [discovering it was nicotine gum she's been chewing]
Selina · Ben:The walkout scene: 'Well, that is unacceptable.' / 'Unacceptable!' (Ben) / 'She never does this.' (Ben) / 'I mean, I will storm out. Here I go.' / 'No way. It's unacceptable!' / 'This is not happening.' / 'In all honesty, she's never done this.'
Selina · Ben:No way. It's unacceptable! This is not happening. In all honesty, she's never done this.
Selina · Catherine:I mean, Daddy loves you, sweetheart, but he's a crook. / I know.
Minna · Selina · Catherine:Catherine's pen outrage scene — 'Your mother has given an amazing pen to the Chinese leaders.' / 'She knows... she knows about that pen.' / 'You are so terrible.'
Selina · Minna:Even labor and delivery with her was a nightmare. / Oh, yes? Why is that? / You have a very narrow vagina? / Well, tight. In the States we say tight.
Minna · Selina:The Chinese economy is in a worse state than anyone realized. / These sanctions, they are really crippling them. / And Chi-Jang, he is a proud, stubborn man. Like a Chinese Mr. Darcy. / But stupid also, like a Chinese Mr. Bingley. / I love 'Mary Poppins.'
Selina · Gary:That's it. / Bono's gonna shit his sunglasses. / That is like some man on the moon legacy shit.
Selina · Kent · Minna:What about the factories in Ohio? / Jonah's ahead in all the latest polls. / Fuck those factories, man. I'm freeing Tibet. / Really, not freeing.

Selina · Catherine:I want to tell you something, but it's very confidential, okay? Mommy is going to free Tibet. / I don't care.
Selina:Catherine, come on, honey, remember when you were little and you had that 'Free Tibet' sticker and you put it up on the wall and we couldn't get it off, remember, because you put it on wallpaper inexplicably.
President Lu (via translator) · Selina:There will be no statement. These are very delicate issues and cannot be rushed. / Oh, yes, of course. I understand that completely. / Although, perhaps when things are as significant as Tibet, things are accidently leaked to the press so that the world may know of our accomplishments.
President Lu (via translator) · Selina:It would be very unfortunate if it also leaked that you lied to your country about our hacking of your tweets. / That is ridiculous. / We have your emails to prove it.
Selina:Oh, H.R. Fucknstuf, Jonah won the election?
Selina · Jonah:Congressman Ryan. / Hello, Madam President. / Or should I call you colleague now? / I wouldn't.
Jonah · Selina:Ma'am, while I have you on the phone, New Hampshire is struggling with an epidemic of opiate addict... / Yeah, I'm not gonna...
Catherine · Selina · Gary:And I'm turning it into a sanctuary for rescued farm animals. / What? / Rescued farm animals. / Yeah, I heard her. / I think it's inspiring, ma'am.
Selina:You're taking my daddy's house and turning it into some Club Med for goats?
Catherine · Marjorie · Gary · Selina:Well, it won't be just goats. I mean, there's so much property that we were talking about all different kinds of animals. I mean, you could have ducks or... / Lame horses. / Pigs. / Potbellied pigs. / Emus. / Oh. / And we could have horses as well. / Okay. / We could have peacocks, too. / Can you do llamas? / Oh, yeah, we could have llamas. / Llamas. / Maybe a three-legged goat.
Selina:Ooh, bam-a-lama ding dong!
Catherine (voiceover) · Selina:My bowling coach used to say a tie was like kissing your sister. Yeah, well, this feels like my sister took a shit on my chest.
Selina:It was 1973... Mother wasn't 'feeling well.' Daddy asked me to be his date for President Nixon's inaugural ball.
Selina:I don't want to jinx things, guys, but I think maybe we should start making our list of who I'm going to punish when I win.
Selina:When you have those kinds of negative feelings, you just pick them up and you stuff them in your box and you close it down tight and you take that box and you shove it way back here in your... in the corner of your head and swallow that key.
Selina:They called me Selina Vanderbilt as if the Vanderbilts had any money left.
Catherine · Selina:Wait, is that when you had your nervous breakdown? / No, no, I did not... no, I went to a spa, sweetie.
Catherine · Selina:No, when Rosa had to take care of me because you went to a mental hospital. / No, darling, I didn't go to a mental hospital. I went to a spa.

Selina:I'm sure he's an inspiration to other slow adults, but it's enough already with Mike.
Selina · Tom James:Okay, how stupid are you, you motherfucking snake? / Fuck. / All right, I wanted to fuck you! / That's right! / And now you're trying to fuck me again tonight. / No, I am fucking you tonight! / No, I'm gonna fuck you!
Selina:He's 18 feet tall. How could he have gone missing?
Selina · Catherine:I trust the American people to make the right decision... What if you think they're gonna make a certain decision and they make a different decision and then it completely derails what you thought was gonna happen? And then your plans are different. Oh, honey, don't cry. Mommy's gonna get elected, honey.
Catherine · Selina:Marjorie and I broke up. / Oh. Oh. That's terrible. / Do you need a tissue? / No, I'm fine. / Yeah, no, you do.
Selina:Oh, you look terrible! You look terrible.
Selina:Marjorie is insufferable, okay? There are other... there are other fish in the sapphic sea, babe. I mean, seriously, there are more lesbians in the Secret Service, even.
Selina:Legacy is not something that I can be concerned with. I'm laser-focused on doing the best possible job I can... as president... Catherine. Not everybody gets to just walk into the Oval.
Selina · aide:So you didn't tell him that I'm taking his job yet? / No, that'll be your first press release.

Selina:My political window just slams shut the second I can't wear sleeveless dresses.
Selina:Please, God, deliver Jonah to Congress and then give him any kind of cancer. I don't care.
Selina:Teddy Roosevelt lost. John Adams lost. Winston Churchill lost. So plenty of presidents have lost and gone on to do great, great things.
Selina:Are we done, sweetie? / I can't fucking lose this thing.
aide · Selina:Madam President, I am so sorry. / We're just coming through. / Oh, no, it's fine. Everybody come on in. Come on in. Welcome, welcome. Welcome.
Selina:Oh, you're clutching your bag like I'm gonna steal it.

Selina:Selina tells staff to find Qataris at a Lamborghini dealership or 'wherever they have prostitutes.'
Selina:Selina tells the Chinese diplomat she'll be 'continuing on... as... um... as vice president.' The painful pause before admitting it.
Selina · Ben:'It's really more of a copresident position. Wouldn't you agree with that, Ben?' / 'Sure.'
Selina · Chinese Diplomat:'Tom James could be healthier, I have to say... well, I suspect this will be of great interest to the Chinese.'
Selina:'Oh, right, no touchy the ladies. Oh, no, no. It's fine. It's private. Just don't let the lunatics back home know.'
Tom James · Selina:Tom: 'You have decided to throw away every last shred of dignity you have and accept my offer of the vice presidency.' Selina: 'I... I guess so, yeah.'
Tom James · Selina:'You're gonna be a partner... and a very important part of my administration.' / 'You're a motherfucker.' / 'No, I'm serious.'

Richard · Selina:'Are we praying, ma'am?' / 'No, I'm just gonna lie down.'
Selina:'Oh, my God, I hope I didn't fuck Richard.'
Selina:Selina wakes up confused after apparently sleeping next to Richard. 'Oh, God, I hope I didn't fuck Richard.'
Gary · Selina:'They can take away your presidency, they can take away your power, they can take away your dignity, but what is the one thing they cannot take away from you?' / 'My beauty.' / 'That's right. Let's go.'
Selina · Laura Montez:Selina: 'And where exactly in Ohio are you from, Laura?' / Montez: 'I grew up right outside of Cleveland, but after 15 years, I feel like I am 100% New Mexican.' / 'New Mexican, but not Mexican?'

Selina · Andrew · Staff:Please hold for President Meyer. / Oh, you're putting me on hold. Actually, do you think you could not? / I'm here, I'm here... / Please hold for Secretary Doyle. / God damn it.
Selina:I am gonna find ways to destroy you so hard that everybody at the Kennedy Center is gonna take a fucking massive shit.
Selina · Andrew:So I assume you're gonna beg for your job back. / It's a very kind offer, but I already have a better job working for President Meyer. I thought you knew that.
Selina:I already have 434 brand-new best friends and we're all going to dinner tonight. And you're not invited. Sorry. Congressmen only.
Doyle/Staff · Selina:He liked to insert in the anus of his opponents. / Yeah, and he did a beautiful rendition of 'Rendition.'
Selina:You have a doctrine now? What is it, 'Boners are rare, don't waste them'?
Selina:Hey, did you think of that while you were walking on the beach with a metal detector or however you fill your empty days?
Selina:Oh, fuck. Minna!
Selina · Minna:You look absolutely radiant. / Oh, thank you. / Yes, your stay in the insane asylum, it's really agreed with you. / It was a spa. / No, no, a spa is where you go to get a massage and the like. You were in an insane asylum.
Minna · Selina:I have such a big day tomorrow because I have an election to supervise. / I know, because I am supervising your supervising.
Gary · Selina:Your bidet is splashy and there's no terry cloth robe or shower cap. / Wait, you tested my bidet?
Selina:Okay, I never ever wanna see the inside of your mouth again. Okay? It looks like a Haitian porta-potty in there.
Minna · Selina:Just a spoonful of this caviar will pay for a wind turbine for a whole village. / Yeah, but do we really want these people to have electricity?
Selina:Have you imprisoned any good novelists recently?
Murman · Minna · Selina:I was sorry to see that your forceful condemnation did not do more to stop the recent genocide in the Congo. / Maybe next genocide. / Or the one after that.
Selina:I cannot possibly accept that. [beat] I mean, even the appearance of a quid pro quo...
Murman · Selina:I trust I have made myself suitably clear. / As clear as the coffee table Danny Thomas had his hookers shit on.
Selina · Ben:I cannot lose my integrity. Without that, I am nothing. / How would we make sure no one finds out about the cash?
Selina · Ben/Kent:What about Georgian law? / There is literally no Georgian law. And I'm using 'literally' correctly.
Selina:See, at least when I was leader of the free world, people told me what to do.
Selina · Minna:I was thinking, Minna, would it be that bad if Murman actually did win? / Well, that depends how you define bad.
Selina:I think Murman is really good people. Honestly. And he's a hell of a storyteller. Really. You know, you could actually learn something from him, Minna.
Minna · Selina:He has the soul of a poet. / Yeah, that and a car with a sunroof could've bought you my virginity in '83.
Minna · Selina:You were 22? / No, I was 15 in 1983. / Right. / Well, I was, Minna. / Right. / That's great.
Minna · Selina:Did I tell you that my son Otto tried to commit suicide and that he is now not speaking to me? / Did he throw himself from a moving town car?
Minna · Selina:No. No, he weighted his boots and he jumped into an ice hole. / I'm so sorry, into what? / Into an ice hole. Like a hole they cut in the ice... / Ah. / ...for fishing. / Right. / That makes sense.
Selina · Minna · Unknown:I wonder how much longer it is to get to the hotel. / I'm not really sure... / I think it's another 45, 50 minutes. / Oh, my God.
Selina:The furniture scene: 'Pick up your fucking chairs!' — Selina or aide screaming as a piece of furniture ends up somewhere absurd in the hotel.
Selina:Fuck. / Are you fucking...?! / That's where that goes? / Pick up your fucking chairs!
Selina · Unknown:Oh, she's kissing it. / Well, that's why we moisturize.
Nikolai · Selina:Oh, may I say that the reports of your beauty have not been exaggerated. / Well, back at you, red.
Selina:Who needs all that champagne when you can have all these different kinds of wallpaper?
Minna · Selina:Selina, you see right through me. / What? / It's because we are close as sisters. / No, we're not.
Minna · Selina · Ben:Nikolai and I are not only bound by mutual respect and shared beliefs. We are also bound by powerful physical attraction. / Oof. / You gotta be kidding. / We are, in fact, lovers. / Lovers. / Lovers. / With Scab Calloway?
Minna · Selina:His very touch makes me quiver. / Okay, and now we get to eat food.
Nikolai · Selina:Eat it. / What? / Eat the soup. / Why? / Because I'm hungry. / I need to know if it's been poisoned.
Selina · Nikolai:It's delicious. / Okay. / Is there anything happening to me? / I don't think so. / Oh, it has carrots in it. I'm not gonna eat that.
Nikolai · Selina:I have been reliably told that war criminal Murman had the audacity to offer you a $10 million bribe. / Okay, well, that is ridiculous. / I agree. It is so much less than you are worth.
Selina · Nikolai:How dare you, sir! I will remind you that I am the former president of the United States. You have lost a great deal of face in my estimation. / What I meant to say, of course, is I would like to make a $15 million donation to your library.
Selina:Well, that is something we can discuss as long as we understand that there is, in fact, no understanding.
Nikolai · Selina:If you told him that rava ganavlis was chakapuli, he would eat it up and ask for seconds. / I can only hope that rava ganavlis is human shit. / It is actually what you vomit after eating shit.
Minna · Selina:The poison? It did not engorge only his face, if you know what I mean. / I think I do. / It also engorged his penis and made it very unusual texture of sea cucumber, so it's great for vaginal orgasms.
Minna · Selina:Minna to Selina: 'Can I be uncharacteristically blunt with you?' / Selina: 'I can't imagine what that...' — then Minna reveals Nikolai's poisoned genitals.
Minna · Selina:Which do you prefer, vaginal or clitoral orgasms? / You know, I just come and get it over with. / You can come just from your mind?
Selina · Minna:What can I do to get you to stop talking? / Now? / Well, you have to walk 25 miles for breast cancer and attend a WNBA game, but I think we're gonna be okay.
Selina · Ben:Murman's leading by more votes than there are people in the country. / Yeah, maybe he's bussing them in from Chicago.

Selina · Gary:Well, do I work for you? Just answer it. / Okay. / Right?
Selina:Well, do I work for you? Just answer it.
Gary · Selina · Mike:Please hold. It was an accident. / Mike voted, too, Mike voted, too. / What?! / I can't believe you! / Stop it. / You two ding-dongs look like you fingered the Incredible Hulk.
Murman · Selina:Madam President, let me tell you little story about growing up in the Gurjaani countryside. / You thought you caught a fish, it turned out to be a tire. The tire was full of fish. It's a great story. It's a very valuable lesson, but I really gotta go. / 20 million.
Selina:Well, Murman, that is a big tire with a fuckload of fish in it.
Selina · Murman:Murman: '20 million.' / Selina: 'Well, Murman, that is a big tire with a fuckload of fish in it.'
Selina · Ben · Andrew/Kent:How much? / 20 million. / Yahtzee. / I mean, they're both crooks. / What's the difference? / $5 million. / Exactly.
Selina · Minna:Well, that is very strong language, Minna. / Yes. / Yes, and I wonder if we might phrase it a different way. / For instance, perhaps we would say there have been certain irregularities in this election. / Yes! / And that is not uncommon for a young democracy. / Yes. / And, therefore, we believe that Murman is the uncontested winner. / Now, are you aware that that is the exact opposite of what you said just a moment ago? / Yes. / But I've had time to reflect since that moment.
Selina:My concern is I wonder if your judgment is being clouded by your feelings that are brought on by Nikolai's lumpy poison cock.
Minna · Selina · Ben:Oh, my God. Well... I will recuse myself. Immediately, I will resign. / No, no, no, let's not overreact. Just take a deep breath, Minna. You're just in the middle of what we in America call... / A difficult situation. / ...a fuck fog.
Selina · Someone · Selina:You're just in the middle of what we in America call... — A difficult situation. — ...a fuck fog.
Minna · Selina:Yeah, in Finland, we call this the fever of the sausage. / Okay, so, then you get it.
Minna · Selina:You won't tell anyone, Selina? / Thank you so much. You are such a good friend. / Oh, well... / Sometimes I don't feel worthy of this friendship. / Mm, well, sometimes I feel that way, too.
Selina:I mean, honestly, that is the most grotesque country I have ever been to and I have been all over Florida.
Selina · Mike · Gary:...seized by military elements loyal to Oleg Petradze. / Wait a minute, is that our guide? / I think that's the guy I voted for.
Selina · Unknown · Gary:Wow, that's like Gary becoming president. / From the tea party. / No. / Oh, yeah, that is funny.
Selina:'Murman's gonna have a lot of great stories to tell the firing squad.'
Aide · Selina:The $20 million Georgian AIDS foundation donation — received the previous night — is now worth approximately $389,000 due to the coup-devalued exchange rate.
Selina:All I did was stay focused on one simple goal... to free the peoples of the world from totalitarianism through open and free and transparent elections. And that, in a nutshell, is what I call the Meyer Doctrine.
Selina:Jesus Beverly Christ
Selina:Fittingly, I lost my back-virginity in Assateague
Richard · Selina:No, ma'am, you have a meeting with Tanz at 2:00. - Oh, thank you very much, Richard

Selina:Uh-huh, you're stalling. It must be a big number.
Selina · Gary:What, no massage? Gary, massage him. Mm-mm. Mm-hmm.
Selina · Mike · Selina:What time? / Memoir time. / Oh, God.
Selina:Just go deep. Just go deep for him, yes.
Selina:Well, I think that I'm partially to blame for that because I let you out of one
Selina:we can find you a man or a woman, but it'll probably be a man if you wanna get anything done
Selina · Richard:I want you to get in touch with Ed McPherson on Judiciary 'cause he's building an infinity pool. On it. Too late.
Gary · Selina:Oh, it's cnn.com. Oh, well, nobody looks at that.
Selina:My tits feel like these Hot Pockets
Selina:Hey, don't fucking say that, okay? It's not that. Seriously, that is like a sexist-beyond-sexist reaction.
Selina:Mike's hair reminds me of graham cracker crumbs
Selina:I pardoned 'Typhoid Moishe'
Selina · Gary:Super left field? I mean, is that even a position? Mm-hmm, that was my position in Little League. I was a pitcher's helper.
Selina · Richard:It's hot flashy. / It's totally normal.
Selina · Doctor:What are you telling me? I think you had a small heart attack. A heart attack? Yes, ma'am. So, I'm not menopausal?
Selina:Hand me a cracker and spread it up with 'I Can't Believe It's Not Menopause'
Selina:You wanna knock me up, Doc? Just 'cause I can do it.
Selina:No, I had a heart episode and they're just gonna pop a stent in there just for fun
Selina · Gary:Just think... next year, you get to go to my library opening. And you get to buy my book. Can't you just give me a copy? Well, I can't be giving out free copies of the book 'cause think of the position that that would put me in.
Selina · Gary:You're only 40? And I'm gonna... I'm gonna have a party. In Alabama.
Selina:If anybody asks, you just say I'm in a routine closed-door meeting, okay? If they're wondering why I'm at the hospital, you just put that on Gary 'cause he had a massive heart attack, luckily.
Selina:'Cause I don't know the alarm code to get back into my house
Selina:Just give him that whale dong Jonah, my God
Doctor · Selina:Madam President, may I say from one vet to another, congratulations. / Oh, God, this is the second act that Selina Meyer finally deserves.
Selina:Put him in the basement. I don't give a shit. Fine, the basement. Who gives a shit?
Selina:They're gonna have to carry me out of there with the gavel clenched in my cold, dead twat
Selina · Gary:Well, I can give them my actual abortion if I could find it lying around here somewhere. I'll check the freezer.
Gary · Selina:I cut up a chicken sandwich and I put it into pasta. What? Is this the chicken sandwich that was in the fridge before the hospital? Wow, and you left the bun on it when you cut it.
Gary · Selina:It's the bleu cheese. No, but there isn't any bleu cheese in it. You must be... starving yourself, though.
Selina:I mean, I couldn't finish it. I just threw the rest out.
Selina:American University sounds like a made-up college in Egypt.
Selina:You understand that, Amy, that even Richard has trouble understanding you?

Selina:American University, it's like American Univer-shit.
Selina:I look like I'm trying out for 'The Price is Right.'
Selina:God Almighty, I wish I'd been assassinated in office.

Selina:Oh, God, I hate every food ever, from everywhere.
Gary · Selina:Have you tried ice cream? Ugh.
Selina:Is this the Hall of Half-Term Wonders?
Selina:The real one was made of wood.
Selina:Just do it before I melt down that whole collection and use it to wax Madame Tussauds' big, fat, nasty snatch!
Selina:Trust me, Amy, it was not the heart attack that depressed your dad.
Selina:I just feel like I'm a thick, dark fog and everyone disappoints me and nothing works out, and what's the point of anything anyway?
Selina:'Cause I'm getting 14 hours of sleep a night.
Catherine · Selina · Catherine:You're in therapy? Since when? Since I was 13.
Selina:Well, what you really needed was a dermatologist.
Selina:And then we just hired the least fuckable press secretary we could find.
Selina:Mother up and sold her. She hated all animals that she couldn't eat or wear.
Selina:What is this, Yonkers?
Selina:Oh, that Chinese one?
Selina:Don't you see? I had no choice but to go into politics and be extraordinary and a sex symbol.
Selina:What does Rumpleforeskin want?
Selina:So, people were trying to have sex with my statue. Domestic terrorism.

Selina:Ugh, God! Well, that's not gonna be on camera, so.
Selina · companion:I know! It's sort of like a 'Vogue' shoot. — It really is.
companion · Selina · Gary:But with a better nose, of course. — Oh, stop it. — Okay, you know what? Why don't you just go ahead, though? — What? — Yep, good idea. You go ahead.
Selina:Gary, be careful 'cause I've got a lot of valuable stuff in that bag!
Selina:You look like an old dyke in an English gardening show.
Selina · Nyaring:And so I give you this peace lily as a symbol of your brave stand for freedom. — It needs to be watered twice daily. — We have no water here.
Selina · Nyaring:Selina gives Nyaring a peace lily. 'It needs to be watered twice daily.' / 'We have no water here.'
Selina · Nyaring:Oh. Oh, well, that's fine. We can just put it with the recycling. — That is my bed.
Selina:Wow, it... wow, that's a cozy bed.
Nyaring · Selina:No, it was a purposeful desecration of the man who beat and raped me. — Well, they go with everything.
Selina · Gary:It sends a 'Po-ent' message... — Potent.
aide · Selina:You know that little animal that Nathan Lane plays in 'The Lion King'? — Oh, I love that guy! — Yes, yes. Uh, so, three of those got caught in the engine.
Jaffar · Selina:A beautiful woman lost in the desert with only a small group of complete incompetents to assist her? Yeah, they really are incompetent, aren't they? I've never seen anything quite like it, frankly. How do you do it?
Selina:I bet you say that to all your Western heretics.
Selina:Send the Egyptian president's mistress a gift. Any department store that wasn't started by Jews. I will have to start one myself.
Selina · aide:What's Qatari for 'morning after pill'? — It's probably a stoning, which would also do the trick.
Selina:You look like the business end of a baboon.
Mike · Selina:You know, when I talk, I can hear my skin crunch. — Oh... Lord. — Makes me wanna eat cereal.
Selina · sunburned Mike:Ben says Qataris are very good at inserting themselves. — You got that right. — Be as red. Be as red.
Selina:Now, Amy, for the first time in a long time, I feel like myself. Or, you know, at least the person I'm supposed to feel like.
Selina:my political career had answered a craigslist ad for a modeling shoot in the Angeles National Forest.
Selina:Look, even their blinker is on. — Somebody's been using their Rosetta Stone CDs.
Selina:No, you gave Montez Tibet. You gave me yak shit.
Selina:But unless you're planning on knitting your semiconductors out of bamboo shoots and panda cock, you're gonna need every ounce of gallium you can get in Sudan.
Selina:Rots of ruck with that.
Selina:what's gonna happen when your honorable citizens can't put their kung pao chicken on the table and start to question this communist-capitalist shit swirly you've been serving up?
Selina:'What's gonna happen when your honorable citizens can't put their kung pao chicken on the table and start to question this communist-capitalist shit swirly you've been serving up?'
Lu · Selina:Yu must really crave public acknowledgment. — Oh, yeah, and you must really crave a 6.7 GDP growth.
Selina:'Confucius say fuck, yeah!' — Selina after closing the Sudan mineral deal with China.
Selina:Confucius say fuck, yeah!
Selina:I don't want this whole evening to go all Natalie Wood on me.
Selina:Mohammad H. Christ, that's my dissident.
Selina · Jaffar:I'm going back to motherfucking Sudan. — But you were just there. Aren't you having a good time? — Absolutely, and I'm gonna say what Titty Gonzalez was too chicken-shit to say.
Selina:You look like the world's least-fucked geisha.
Selina · Gary:She has such wonderful hair. — Oh, luxurious.
Selina:Nyaring, I have come to do what President Montez did not do. — I will speak on behalf of our sisters, Nyaring.
Selina · Nyaring:What happened to the little girl who served us tea? — Oh, she was married to the village elder. — Ah. — Saturday. — Well, please send along my congratulations.
aide · Selina:It's an Arab conference on human rights. You can pretty much have any slot you want. — Yeah. — After the men, of course. — Right.
Selina · aide · Selina:What happened? — Turns out it wasn't zinc oxide. I was wearing cocoa butter. — You look like redheaded bacon.
aide · Selina:NuvaRing is gonna dig this a lot. — It's Nyaring.
Richard · Selina:Ma'am, I'm just so optimistic about the world we're creating for your coming grandchild. — Wait, what? Catherine's pregnant? — Ma'am, do you prefer Gram-Gram or Mee-Maw?
Jaffar · Selina:Did you see those paparazzi shots of us in the 'Daily Mail'? — I did. — Those scum-sucking vultures got some really good shots of us.
Selina:Selina's speech where she pivots from women's rights to defending female genital mutilation with 'who are we to judge?' and 'glass houses' — ending with 'And female circumcision... I'm sure you have your reasons.'
Selina:Who went pee-pee in his Coke?
Selina:What do I have to do, pull out my clit and cut it off in front of everyone to get anything done in this world?
Jaffar · Selina:You know, white. — Wow. Okay, that is racist. — Is it?
Selina · Jaffar:I thought that we would be traveling around the world on your yacht, solving international crises and... — We will always have the yacht. — But you just said we won't. — I meant the memory of the yacht.
Selina · Jaffar:But your dad wasn't pleased because he thought I was white, right? I mean, not because he thought there was any age difference between us, 'cause there practically isn't one. — Oh, yeah, yeah, it was just the white thing. — He also thought you might be Jewish. — Well, I'm not.
Selina:Well, that just tickles my twat!
Selina:Gosh, Montez is actually gonna say that at my portrait unveiling in English?
Selina · Mike:See, Mike? That is good writing. Why can't you write like that?
Aide · Selina:the White House wants us to finalize your guest list by the day after... yesterday. — So, today. That's a bit of a brain twister.
Selina · Richard:What about Congressman Jonah Ryan? — Richard, you have such a good sense of humor.
Selina · Amy:Amy, you should take a cue from him, really.
Greg · Selina:The book ends with you going off to college. — That's right, yes, and the presidential stuff will be in volume two... 'Meyer Ascendant.' — And three... 'The Meyer Year.'
Greg · Amy · Selina:We're just gonna need our advance back. — There was an advance? — Quiet, quiet.
Amy · Selina · Mike:We're fucked. — I don't even remember any of that. — Some things are so dull, you have to block them out.
Selina:I mean, I'm sure that I played with Catherine when she was a child... but for the life of me, I can't remember one second.
Selina · Catherine · Marjorie:So, is it a boy, is it a girl? — Oh, right. — It's a baby.
Selina:Catherine, you are not going to be coy or twee about the sex of my grandchild. This is a human being you're making, not some Brooklyn-based, artisanal chocolate bar.
Selina:Okay, is that how we're talking now, Marjorie, like some sort of bi-curious Porky Pig?
Marjorie · Selina:I had an aunt who transitioned twice. She was trapped inside a man, and then that man was trapped inside of another woman. — Oh, like a turducken.
Catherine · Selina · Amy:Yes, Leslie or Dana if it's a boy and... And for a girl we like Linus. — Seriously? — That feels like child abuse.
Selina · Gary:Gender is simple! Right. You're a girl, I'm a boy. Well. Hey, what about some of that lezzy stuff?
Selina:Yeah, but, I mean, does anybody really give a shit about two average-looking lesbians?
Selina:A book about my sex life... People would pay whatever it is a book costs, you know?
Selina:My snatch isn't a data port!
Selina · Mike · Amy:I slept with Tom James! — Whoa! — No! — In the white-hot White House.
Selina · Mike · Amy:On a couch. — Ma'am, we have a best-seller! — I mean, it was the Green Room, but. — What? How do you know that? — You... you said it was at the Congressional Ball.
Selina · Amy · Gary:Or I could go and I could see him in person. — No, no, no, no, no, no. — You want me to go with? I can take notes. — Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. — No. Mm-mm.
Tom James · Selina:Yes, I wrote a blurb for your upcoming tome. — Of course you did. — Sight unseen.
Selina · Tom James:Yes, what is... the title is 'Investing with a Conscience'? — 'Conscience,' yes. — So, it's sci-fi?
Selina:Wow! [beat — Selina's reaction to the Seabiscuit metaphor]
Selina · Tom James:If it makes you feel any better, if I was in your shoes, I probably would've tried to steal the presidency, too. — Well, that's what made the two of us such a beatable combination.
Selina:Well, I guess I will have to think outside my box.
Selina · Gary · Mike:Oh, my God, why did I have to fuck the last remaining gentleman in Washington? — God! — Who said that? Was that Dolley Madison? — It was James Madison.
Selina · Mike · Amy:Okay, Mike, get up. — So, how'd it go? — Well, he just begged me not to put it in. — So, none of it goes in the book? — No, it all goes in.
Selina:Why do you keep saying Tom James and I made love? Are you a 15-year-old girl?
Selina · Mike:No, see, you gotta find a different word than 'screwed.' It's just hard to come up with so many different ways to curse.
Selina:Okay, so I have got a White House book that is hotter than Nancy Reagan's guide to cocksucking.
Selina · Richard · Gary:Richard, go and turn on CBS right now. — Hey, Tom James is on TV. — He looks good.
Selina · Mike:'Vanity Fair?' Mike, how did we not know about this? — They called me a couple months ago and I thought they were trying to get me to renew my prescription.
Tom James · Selina · Amy:She's a year older than me. — Okay, that is a fucking lie! — I mean, where's the follow-up question? — This is disinformation!
Interviewer · Tom James · Selina · Gary:Now, Senator, was President Meyer the aggressor? — Your word, not mine. — But again, yes. — I didn't rape him! — He wishes!
Selina · Mike:I can't believe I said that steaming turd of a book was a refreshing take on Wall Street aimed at your conscience and your funny bone. — Hey, you used my blurb! — Oh, quiet up, Mike.
Selina:I took Andrew's infidelity, Catherine's Catherine-ness, okay? But this I cannot take.
Selina:This is like Black History Month. It never fucking ends!
Gary · Selina · Amy:Do you want me to 69 him? — Oh, 86. — Yeah.
Gary · Selina · Gary:you can go to the White House tomorrow and forget all about those 15 minutes where he couldn't even unzip the back of your dress. — Wait a minute, what? How do you know that? — It was in Mike's notes.
Selina:I'm not gonna have a good time. And if one person mentions Tom James to me, I'm gonna go piss in that punch bowl.
Selina · Gary:Look at this place. It is such a dump, isn't it? — Although, I have to admit I sort of miss it. — Aw, and it misses you, too. The one who got away. — And now she's back for her big day!
Selina · Gary:Are you wearing makeup? — No. — Yeah.
Selina:I have no idea what these people's names are. — I know one thing... she's the one who put my sweater in the dryer.
Selina:What is this Dixie cup shit show? It's like we teleported to post-Katrina Mississippi.
Selina:Montez is really taking this Mexican thing too far.
Selina · Amy:You wanna work for that guy? — I really do.
Selina:Can I have a private word with you? — Would that be all right, or are you afraid that I'll rape you again?
Selina · Tom James:I came to you in good faith and I asked! — Well... — I did the classy thing. — Come on, we both know you were gonna go ahead and do it anyway. — Of course I was, but I had the courtesy to seem like I might not!
Selina · Tom James:Oh, oh, poor Tommy. He wanted me to call him afterwards. — Shut the fuck up!
Selina:Yeah, well, you know what, you can have your trophy wife and your trophy office and your trophy baby, who you won't even live to see go to college, but I still got to be president, and, tsk, you never will.
Selina:you can have your trophy wife and your trophy office and your trophy baby, who you won't even live to see go to college, but I still got to be president, and, tsk, you never will.
Selina · Tom James:I'm back. What the hell was that? — You really wanted me, didn't you? — There were sparks practically flying out of your dick!
Selina:No, no, I'm not talking about the Green Room. That was just a good, old-fashioned hate fuck.
Selina · Tom James:You want to throw me onto this couch and pin my legs behind my head and do me. — I am a happily married man, Selina. — Oh, that's not an answer!
Selina:Alethia? Is that her name or is that the pill you take to fuck her?
Alethia · Selina:I voted for you. — Well, it didn't help.
Selina · Tom James · Alethia:that when I was in the loony bin, I thought about you endlessly — Tom? — Sweetheart. This is my wife, Alethia.
Selina:Oh, wow, she looks awesome. I'd give my left tit for those tits.
President Montez · Gary · Selina:There are so many things that I would like to say about the extraordinary woman who was my predecessor here at the White House. — Here comes the love! — Shh, I know. Shh. — But unfortunately, I have to return to the Oval Office to deal with the shutdown.
Selina:I look around this room and I see so many portraits of... of so many of our great presidents... But I also like to think perhaps about their not-so-shining moments. And that, um... well, maybe none of it matters.
Selina:So, out of respect for the furlough, um, I think we should wrap things up. So, thank you so much. What a... what a wonderful thing. Thank you.
Selina · Gary · Mike:Yeah, that cow put the chair in the painting. — What chair? — The fucking chair in that painting is the chair that she made love to Andrew on. — I slept in that chair.
Selina · Gary · Mike:Yeah, that cow put the chair in the painting. — What chair? — The fucking chair in that painting is the chair that she made love to Andrew on. — I slept in that chair.
Selina:And look at my neck. I... no, in the painting! Look at my neck. I have pardoned turkeys with fewer waddles.
Selina:And look at my neck. I... no, in the painting! Look at my neck. I have pardoned turkeys with fewer waddles.
John Corbin · Selina:Not exactly. I have a law degree and served two tours in Afghanistan. — Oh, congrats.
Marjorie · Selina:Ma'am, the painting is stunning. — Well, thank you, Marjorie, but you're not exactly known for your good taste.
Selina:Jesus Christ, underage Muslim brides are less traumatized at their unveiling. Shh.
Selina · Gary · Jonah:At least Jonah wasn't here. — Hey, that's positive, see? — A lot of people are saying that I shut down the government. You're damn right, I did!
Selina:Oh, Kentucky fried Christ!
Selina:It's like Satan's humidor out here.
Selina:Flying a thousand miles to Alabama. I mean, is anyone as shocked as I am that I'm doing this? Well, I'm easily shocked, so probably not the best person to ask.
Gary · Selina:You coming to my birthday is what gave me the strength to get through that heart attack... and when I had my relapse. / You had a relapse? Oh, I thought you were just being lazy.
Selina · Gary:Hey, Gary, how come your family doesn't have a Mongoloid kid on the porch playing banjo? / 'Cause he grew up and moved to DC.
Selina:That's a real snatch-22.
Selina:Just email him back a hard no, but make it sound kind of sexy so he knows what he's missing. Why am I asking somebody who has sex one and a half times a year to do that?
Judge · Selina:I did not vote for you, but I do respect the office. / Okay, well, you didn't have to say that, but thank you very much. / I understand.
Imogene · Selina · Gary:It's not Gary's. It's his brother Bruce's. / Oh, I didn't know you had a brother. / Bruce was his stillborn twin. / He had a huge heart. / Missing all its valves, though.
Imogene · Selina:There is gonna be a raw bar. And the very best Southern chef. — Yes, who hasn't said the N-word on television.
Selina:Wow, no wonder I couldn't carry the South. I mean, none of the polling research mentioned a dead son's ghost crib.
Selina:I'll tell you something, if I had a crib for every baby who died inside me, I could open up a Pottery Barn Kids.
Mike · Selina:I got this really cheap flight. Had, like, four layovers. / I'm really sorry I asked that question.
Selina:Did you tell him your first name was Mohammad?
Selina:Oh, please, suddenly now white lives matter?
Selina:Well, you're getting me all wet now.
Selina · Jaffar:Who donated that whole wing to Hughes's library? / Yeah, Quartie and I are dear friends. Our houses share a beach path and a vineyard. We don't let the public use it, of course.
Selina:You had me at beach path.
Selina:I'll show that oil-splatted cow-fucker that I'm open-minded and nonjudgmental.
Jaffar · Selina · Jaffar:Like Eva Gabor in Green Acres. / You had Green Acres in Qatar? / Oh, yes, but they censored all the scenes with Arnold Ziffel.
Selina · Jaffar · Selina:I'm technically from the South. Maryland had slaves. They just didn't secede. / So they had it both ways? / Like Gary's dad.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah · Selina · Jonah:Jesus Christ, it's not like I'm gonna rape the president. / Oh! / I'm sorry, did you just say you aren't going to rape the president? / Of course I'm not. Why would I say I would? / Why would you say you wouldn't? / Because I wouldn't! / I think maybe your people should come in, too.
Selina · Jonah:You have accomplished more in one month than most extremely stupid people do in a lifetime. / That's very kind of you to say, Ma'am. / Shut the fuck up.
Jonah · Selina · Amy / staffer:And you'll get rid of Daylight Savings Time? / Oh, my... / Saving. / I cannot do that.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah's aide / Candi · Jonah:Why, because I'm Jewish? / Excuse me? / He's not Jewish yet, Ma'am. / Yeah, but I only have two months left of those Jiffy Jew classes. And after that, it's snip, snip, snip.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah:And as an almost-Jew, I will not stand by with this anti-almost-Semitism. / Why don't you take it up with the Anti-Defamation League? / The fuck is that? / Wow!
Selina · Gary:You can't let your father talk to you like that. He's always interrupting you and insulting you. / You're absolutely right. I've got to... / You have to stand up for yourself, stupid.
Selina · Gary:You were passed out? / Yeah. / And he was standing over you? / Yeah. / [beat] / Did you have your pants on?
Selina:I wish I could say the same thing. [pause]
Selina:Quartie, I'm a country girl. Okay? I think you keep forgetting that like you forgot to clean up that oil spill of yours in the Gulf.
Selina:Like Gary, I, too, was born in the glory that is the deep south... of Maryland.
Selina:So, you know, Gary and I both have our swimming holes and our fishing holes and all the holes you could ever possibly want. Right, Quartie?
Selina:He just wanted to make his little girl as happy as a hound dog with a horse's Johnson.
Selina · Gary:And I think the birthday boy would like to say a few words. / Would you like to say a few words, Gar? / Gary, you wanna come up? / No.
Gary · Selina:I know your secret. You are... you are a bully! / No, that's not it. / You're a big, fat, flaming bully! / And you know what, you can take Teddy and Bobby and Stewart and the other Bobby, and you can be their daddy! / Eh, getting warmer.
Imogene · Selina:He went off this morning on a business trip with Stewart to Key West. / Ooh, I bet he went off to one of his special holes.
Selina:Gary, it's 100-and-fuck degrees. Let's go! Come on! My God in heaven.
Selina · Gary:Because I'm not going to apologize, you know? I would if I had something to apologize for, but I don't. / I certainly don't need to apologize for anything. / Okay, lookit, politicians borrow stuff all the time. / Personal stories? / Absolutely. / I mean, you should be honored that I would think your story was special enough to even consider using.
Selina · Gary:It's like what my daddy used to say. He used to say, 'If that story was like a horse, it'd be a unicorn. 'Cause it was magical.' / Oh. / Mm-hmm. / That's nice. / I did come all this way. / I know. / You know, like, a thousand miles or something, so... / I know. / I wish you'd be a little more grateful. / I'm sorry, I'm sorry. / That's okay. I accept your apology.
Selina:It's actually... it's like what my daddy used to say. He used to say, 'If that story was like a horse, it'd be a unicorn. 'Cause it was magical.'
Selina · Gary:Ooh. What is this? / It's a children's portion, too. / No. / Yeah. / No wonder you had a heart attack when you were 39.
Gary · Selina:Get in there. Just tear that animal apart! / [Gary and Selina eat the ribs together, messy and enthusiastic] / You've got to admit I told it better, though. / Yeah, you did. You did.
Jaffar · Selina:Childhood obesity. You sent me an email about it last month at 4:00 AM. / I forgot. I was looking at Catherine's baby pictures.
Andrew · Selina:You look absolutely radiant. Oh, thank you! Yes. Your stay in the insane asylum, it's really agreed with you. Oh. It was a spa.
Selina:Jesus, I need to get drunk and slop-fuck an intern.
Jaffar · Selina:My great-grandfather bought it for her with the money he made from his first major arms deal. Wow. Well, we'll have to see what I look like later wearing nothing but blood diamonds.
Passerby · Selina:It's the woman who freed Tibet! [Shouted by a passerby to Selina on the street]
Reporter · Selina · Gary:How come you never talk about your stay in Arizona? Oh, I love the Grand Canyon. That's not an answer. Look over here! Arizona? Yeah, it was a spa. It was just a spa.
Selina · Gary · Marjorie:You were here yesterday. That's right! They love you so much, they can't keep away. Ma'am, that was a month ago. Gary is humoring you.
Selina · Gary:Gary, are you sure that this isn't too much medication? People think we're married. I think it's the perfect amount.
Andrew · Catherine · Selina:As soon as I heard what a vulnerable state you were in, I got on the first flight. Hi, Andrew. Okay, I'm gonna get the orderly with the big needles. Let's not do that.
Selina · Gary:He's like a bald dog with a bone.
Selina:He's like this demented creep who follows me around and gets all in my personal life and thinks about me 24-7, nonstop. Cuckoo!
Architect/staff · Selina:And so now the staircase goes right up and smashes through the glass ceiling. Exactly what it's like to be a woman.
Marjorie · Selina:It looks like a vagina, ma'am. See? Okay, that's from an expert.
Staff · Selina:What if you trim the topiary around the edge? That could help. Nobody's gonna trim the topiary. I'm not a porn star.
Selina:What is this, the clitoris? You know what would be funny? We should put the men's bathroom there. They'll never find it.
Marjorie · Selina · Staff:Well, actually, ma'am, the female pleasure center is quite extensive. Ah. Uh, no, it's not. And that's the crypt, ma'am. Right, that's what I just said. No, the crypt. What?
Selina · Staff:I'm gonna be buried there? Yeah, most of the formers are buried at their libraries.
Selina · Mike:See, that wouldn't have happened if I paid you more. More? You never... Now, ma'am, there is a problem.
Selina:I'm not gonna have my vagi-brary underground railroaded by this.
Catherine · Selina:Slaves, Mother? ... Okay, Cat... what room is this, Catherine? ... I mean, when did we build an Indian casino gift shop? It's the nursery. Seriously? My God. Well, where are the toys? Or is the baby gonna play chess against death?
Selina:Listen to me, Catherine Kinte...
Selina:Okay, so you wanna talk about second-class citizens? You wanna do that? Blacks got the vote in 1870. When did women get the vote? 1920! Sistas!
Catherine · Selina:Mom, you are going to be the grandmother of a child that is half black. And 1/16 French Huguenot.
Selina:I cannot stand that term. No, I'm talking about grandmother. Okay? I am still a young woman. Yes. Really! Look at my hands. Look at my neck, okay? I am not about to be buried in a twat of my own making!
Aide · Ben · Selina:Vice President Selina Meyer to see the president. Oh, hey, Ben. Madam Vice President. How are you? I'm good, thank you. The president is very, very busy right now. Why don't I show you your office first? Oh, sure. Yeah! Okay? Right across the street here. What? The EEOB?
Selina:'Nobody likes a tattletale, Marjorie.'
Selina · Ben:Okay, I haven't spoken to my neighbors in my entire fucking life. I don't even know who they are. Oh, be glad. I've met them.
Selina:All right? You and I both know that Hughes would never do this if I was a male VP. We'd be out, shotgun and beers and sucking each other off like Carter and Mondale.
Selina · Amy:We are going to be in the EEOB. Oh. Yeah. No, it's good. I'm thinking we need to distance ourselves from this sort of 'one and done' administration. So, this is your decision?
Jonah · Selina · Amy:I am... oh, I am a West Wing intern. Oh, congratulations. Okay. I just wanna say it's such an honor to meet you. The only reason that I voted for Hughes is because you were on the ticket. Well, I'm sure you're not alone.
Selina · Jonah:Maybe we can pull some strings and get you assigned to the EEOB. Yeah... maybe.
Furlong · Jonah · Selina:One... get the fuck away from me. Two... stay the fuck away from me. Okay? Can you do that? Yes, sir. I won't let you down. God, I love interns.
Selina · Mayor Thompson:Mayor Thompson, I hope you'll support me in November in the Senate contest. Absolutely, Congresswoman Meyers. Thank you. No, op, op, op. It's Meyer. There's no 'S' at the end... Oh, Jewish.
Selina:Oh, what a great county this is. I just love... everybody here is so well-behaved and polite. Thank you! What joy! We gotta go. It is like Selinamania, right?
Mike · Selina:Selina, we are fucked two ways which till Tuesday. What are you talking about? We've completely spent all of our TV money. Well, who's in charge of that? Technically, I am, but when you buy these ads...
Selina · Andrew:Hey, Andrew, we have gotta fire that Mike guy. He's the biggest goddamn idiot I've ever... Selina! Hey! Uh, boy, I got... Can you believe I put a pen in my pocket without a cap? And Sally was helping me get the stain out.
Selina · Sally:Yeah, you know, I wish your husband was here because I would love for him to hear about the story of you and Andrew on the bus with the pen. Let me get my checkbook.
Selina · Sally:why don't you put your money where your mouth was... is... And add another zero? That should be no problem. Oh, goody!
Jaffar · Selina:Okay, so Lu wants to meet in Hong Kong to talk Brazil. We'll leave Friday. That's so funny because the lady who does my Brazilian is from Hong Kong. Oh! It's Kismit. I know. It really is, isn't it? No, her name is Kismit. They make her use Linda, but...
Jaffar · Selina:You know, my favorite cousin Hamid went here. He partied his balls off. Oh, my God, we should've invited him to come to the thing today. Oh, he's not exactly on the yes-fly list.
Catherine · Selina · Marjorie:Mom, I'm so glad my doctor cleared me to come today. But you gotta be careful with that McLintock cervix of yours. Oh, it's incompetent cervix, ma'am. That's what I said, Marjorie. Zing! You got me, ma'am.
Quartermaster/Quartie · Selina:My God, looks like Queen Kong's cooter. That's what we were going for! ... That ain't the first time I spent 20 million on a piece of pussy. Oh, good on you, Quartie.
Selina · Gary:'The chicken, right?' — Selina confuses a decision about who runs the library with a previous chicken discussion
Yale President Jim · Selina:with the lawsuit and with one of our adjuncts in the Hillel function with the sombrero... I don't know what that is.
Yale President Jim · Selina:After all, this is Yale, not Brown. I got waitlisted there. Oh, oh, ow, ow, ow!
Selina:Yale pulled out without even coming on my tits? Things sure have changed since I went to college.
Doctor Sengupta · Selina:Doctor says name; Selina mishears: 'Sengupta.' / 'Gundupta.' / 'I'm gonna get you a cookie.'
Catherine's partner/Marjorie · Selina · Catherine:I think I wanna run for Congress. Huh. Oh, some black shit is coming out of it. Good... yeah. Loud. It's so loud. I've never heard anything quite like... ooh. Ugh, it's loud.
Selina:Selina comments on the baby's loudness: 'Loud. It's so loud. I've never heard anything quite like... ooh. Ugh, it's loud.'
Selina · Unnamed woman (Selina's mother?):I'll just give him a boop-boop, pat-pat. Monnie. Oh! Grandma! Yeah. Congratulations. Okay, when did you come back into the picture? What do you mean? Nope. Mm-mm.
Selina · Catherine:Selina arrives late: 'You went ahead without me.' / 'The baby has my elbows.'
Catherine · Monica (TV chef) · Selina:Oh, my God, I can't believe it! You're Monica from 'Monica.' It is a dream of mine to cook with you someday. It's my dream, too. Aw, well, we should make that happen. I'll get your number. Absolutely, we should make that happen. Go, just go.
Selina · Richard:Okay, so what are we calling him? Aluminum? Tenafly? Ribbon? We haven't landed on a name yet. I don't mind Tenafly. You know, what about Richard? That would be kind of cute 'cause then we could call him Little Richard. Love! I was actually named after my godmother, Richardina. Everybody just called her Regina.
Selina · Andrew:Baby name suggestions: 'Aluminum? Tenafly? Ribbon?' / 'I don't mind Tenafly.'
Andrew · Jaffar · Selina:Ambassador Jaffar, if I could nibble your ear for a moment about a sand opportunity I'm currently involved with. I'm all set with sand. But this is beach sand. He doesn't want sand.
Selina:I would rather never have a presidential library than to have one that is built on the backs of dead slaves. Shame on Yale. And shame on Amy Brookheimer. Yes. Oh, and this is my lesbian daughter's Native American lesbian life partner, Marjorie.
Selina:Selina's speech: 'as the proud grand... Mother.'
Selina:'And this is my lesbian daughter's Native American lesbian life partner, Marjorie.'

Selina · Amy:I dreamt that I removed Leon West's balls with an ice cream scoop and I think I actually came. Is everything always ice cream with you?
Selina:Because, girlie, only former presidents have libraries. And I'm running for president.
Dan · Mike · Selina:The band is getting back together again! Who cc'd Mike? I get it, I'm Ringo. No, Amy's Ringo. You're Mark David Chapman's bullet.
Dan · Selina:And what about Montez? She's a Mexican who stole your job. She did, in fact, steal my job. Her numbers are under agua.
Selina · Team:To Team Meyer. Team Meyer! Second time's the charm. It's actually fourth. Fourth. Fourth time's the charm. Yeah, that's fourth, ma'am.
Amy · Selina:There's just one last thing you need to do. Mm, I'm not gonna do that. Selina, you have to do it. Mm-mm.
Jaffar · Selina:You know, there's a restaurant in Kowloon that has a clay-baked chicken dish that you have to order 24 hours in advance. Yeah, Jaffar, I can't. I understand. 24 hours seems like a lot of hoopla for chicken, doesn't it?
Jaffar · Selina:Muslim baggage? Jaffar, you are so sophisticated... And your grasp of geopolitics is just... And those are assets anywhere in the world except... In America? In the United States, yeah. And most of Europe, except Germany, you know, 'cause they overcorrect.

Selina:I wanna feel their feelings and I wanna hear their speakings.
Selina · Crowd member:I could've gone anywhere. But I didn't. I chose the South Bronx so I could feel and smell what America was all about. It smells good!
Selina:And if you wanna know something about government, watch this film 'Air Force One.' It's a good movie. Shows you what a president can do. Nice to meet you, and I'll see you guys Wednes... Tuesday.

Selina · Staff Member:Selina says she hates being called a 'lightweight.' Staff member responds: 'Why? You're so skinny.'
Gary · Selina:Gary's tactic: repeat the last two sentences Felix says back to him. Selina calls it 'idiotic.' Gary immediately demonstrates by repeating her exact words back.
Selina · Felix:Selina tells Felix the only reason she's running for president is to attend his event. Felix says 'Really? I feel like you should have a better reason than that.'
Selina:Selina: 'Isn't it astounding that the next President of the United States is being chosen by a closeted ex-record producer?'

Tom James · Selina:Tom: 'One thing I've learned in politics, a lot of the best stuff happens afterhours.' / Selina: 'Oh, is that so, Captain Morgan?'
Selina · Tom James:Selina: 'Thank you so much for man-telling me that.' / Tom: 'I believe the word you're fumbling for is mansplaining.' / Selina: 'Man... OK... splain...' — then immediately cuts away
Selina · Amy · Staff:Staff thinks a photo of Tom's schedule is a photo of his aide. 'Of his Amy? His who? His Amy. Ma'am, I don't see it... No ma'am, I got a picture of his schedule.'
Selina · Ben:Amy is implied to have eaten a second breakfast before her visible breakfast. 'Did you see what she had for breakfast? — And I bet she had a breakfast before that breakfast. — There is no doubt about that.'
Selina:Selina on Tom and Felix: 'He cannot spend another second with Felix without me jammed in between 'em like the cross-piece on an Eiffel Tower three-way. MMF. The Devil's threesome.'

Selina:Selina: 'Listen, I did not spend my entire life defending a woman's right to choose for you to choose this.'
Selina · Felix:Felix tells Selina he's been calling her 'a bit of a lightweight' for years. Selina, using the repeat-back tactic: 'Well, O... Yes, I mean, I can be a bit of a... A lightweight. You said it, not me!'
Selina · Tom James:Tom to Selina: 'I did everything I could to get Felix to give me the marshmallow speech.' / Selina: 'Did you offer to blow him?' / Tom: 'Tut-tut, Selina. We do not refer to Mr. Wade's sexual orientation. — But yes. Yes, I did.'
Selina · Tom James:Selina: 'Well, I didn't tell him you were a lousy lay.' / Tom: 'Probably read it in our books.'
Selina · Tom James:Selina: 'I love you.' / Tom: 'I love you too, Tom. Go fuck yourself.'

Selina · Ben · Aide:Ben on Mike: 'Where is that fat-faced, freckled fuck-it-up-agus? — Hiding in the bathroom, ma'am, making pretend diarrhea noises.'
Selina:Selina: 'I just can't believe that that second-hand Muppet wrote an article that people actually read.'
Selina:Selina: 'I'm gonna choke him with that giant cock of his, see how he likes it.'
Selina:Aide suggests an outfit; Selina says Felix 'doesn't give a shit. Just because Felix Wade is gayer than an Eames chair in assless leather chaps doesn't mean that he's some sort of fashion diva.'
Michelle · Selina:Michelle to Selina: 'I'm the Senator's Deputy Chief of Staff.' / Selina: 'Congratulations. Then you probably won't fuck it up.'
Selina:Selina: 'God, I feel so sorry for whoever's stickin' their dick in that bag of mayonnaise.'

Selina · Richard:Richard says Selina's polls are 'way up' after leaving — Selina: 'Maybe I should just stop campaigning altogether.' / Richard: 'Couldn't hurt.'
Selina · Richard:Selina: 'Oh, remember, lift with your back.' / Richard: 'It's your legs. L-Legs.' / Selina: 'No, you lift with your back.' / Richard: 'Oh. That's incorrect.' / Selina: 'OK, well. That could probably be the main cause of your scoliosis.' / Richard: 'I have scoliosis?'
Selina:I love you, too, Tom. Go fuck yourself.

Selina · Kent:How is this possibly even working for her? / Socio-politically, protest chants have proved an effective method-- / OK, off.
Selina · Gary:You know what else is huge, Amy? / Not even really showing.
Selina · Crowd:Selina's campaign slogan 'Time to finish the unfinished business of four years ago' being recited back incorrectly by the crowd, followed by her failed 'New Selina Now' correction

Selina · Andrew:Andrew, you said there was nothing illegal about the fund. / I thought we both understood I was lying.
Gary · Selina:Who? / Uh, that's not gonna work. He was lucky not to get dumped out of a pickup truck into a quarry.
Selina · Gary:My vision for when I die... / If you... / No, I am gonna die. / Mm... / More of a sort of a Princess Diana thing. But classy. But no Prince Charles. / Oh, yeah. He's worse than the mother.
Kent · Selina:They don't know what that word is. / Good point.
Selina:That's a busy beaver.
Selina · Mike:Perhaps that kind of thing plays well in 'Nevahda' -- / Nevada.
Selina · Mike:Wow, Mike, you said an actual thing. How the fuck did that happen? It's like 'Flowers for Algernon.' / I understand that reference now. It's a book.
Richard · Selina:She aborted her unborn fetus. — Dock her a day's pay then.
Selina:She is an actual murderer?! Yes! Who drives an import!
Selina · Gary:Where is that Fatty McFatty hiding today? She aborted her unborn fetus. [beat]
Selina · Staffer:We gotta spread this news like Kemi's boyfriend's guts all over the pavement! / Actually, he was decapitated.

Selina:Fresh-squeezed Billy Carter juicy.
Selina · Tom James:No. Forget it. This never works. / What am I thinking? / No, no, no, no. / Selina, listen, you got no reason to trust me, based on... / Yeah. Trying to screw me out of the presidency, then trying to actually screw me, then screwing me, then writing a book about screwing me. / Also discussed it on television. / Lovely.
Selina · Jonah · Beth · Gary:Oh, look at this. Congressman Ryan! And this must be Mrs. Ryan. Or do you go by your maiden name: Mrs. Ryan? / Oh, either is fine. / No, ma'am, she's my half-sister. / Step. / Gary: She's his step-sister.
Richard · Selina · Jonah:It seems I have been appointed the new Mayor of Lurlene. / Oh, congratulations! / Mayor Splizzle in the hizzle! / Wow. All right. / But don't you have to be a dog? / Well, legally, yes, but it's unenforceable.

Selina:What up, Mojo? When are you and I gonna have that pussy-eating contest?
Congressman Ryan · Amy · Selina:I want vice president. / That's not negotiable. / Let's go. / No, I'm willing to negotiate. / What about Department of the Exterior? / Interior. / We're gonna negotiate against ourselves now, Amy?

Selina · Ben · Dan · Marjorie:Like a dog whistle. / Yes, exactly! / Come on, that's like a dog whisper. / You could 'reject' an endorsement from a pro-Confederacy group. / That's like a dog exploding space shuttle. / I need something loud, not too loud like-- / Dog chainsaw? / No, that's too droney. / A dog snowmobile. / Why would I know what that even sounds like? / A dog leaf blower? / Yeah, I like that.
Selina · Aide:Okay, guys, what you need to do is get me in front of huge white audiences. Huge. Huge. Something that makes a NASCAR race look like a Jay-Z concert, you know? / Actually, ma'am, Jay-Z concerts are almost all white people. / Okay, well, right? I know.

And they will not sell you out in a Beijing minute. / Wait, they will or they won't? / I don't know.
Selina:Can't we 'not' not do the thing that we're not talking about?
Selina · Ben · Marjorie:Do you think Captain Lady Kangaroo heard any of that? / I don't think so. / No? Okay, good. / Fire her anyway just to be sure. / Consider her green-jeaned, ma'am.
Selina · Tom James:I've heard you had a yen for Treasury. / I think a lot of my supporters would actually think that State was more appropriate. / Ouch. Things are that bad at home, huh? / Let's just say a few international tours would ease domestic tensions.
Tom James · Selina:You familiar with 'peace through strength'? / Oh. Keep talkin' like Reagan, I'll work it like Nancy.
Selina:There is no way I would appoint anyone competent to anything in my cabinet.
Selina · Ben:He just fucked me right in the ass! / Son of a bitch wouldn't endorse you. / That, too!

Selina:as long as someone lets me have mini-vegan pigs in gluten-free blankets at the reception
Selina:Because without an American marriage license, U.S. community property laws do not apply, my darling.

Minna · Selina:All the time. Aung San Suu Kyi, Henry Kissinger, and also, the prize that you're getting, it is not the Peace Prize. / Oh, don't start with that! / It is a second-tier Peace Prize. / No. / It is made of very hard plastic.
Selina · Minna:Ha! / That was your phone.
Selina:As the former president of the United States, truth and justice can gargle my balls.

Selina · Lu:I'll have to condemn your actions publicly, of course. / Of course. / But then we'll propose a U.N. resolution, you'll veto it... / I will. / then, ya know, have at it. / Is being president in a democracy even that great? / Well, it's barely a democracy, so... / I agree with that.
Selina · Lu:'Cause you're my lapdog now. / OK. / Yeah.
Selina:Oh, God Almighty. I-- / So maybe I should just wrap this up. / Shall we scroll, um, ahead, please? / Could you just-- Yes. / Wait-- Yes. / Tibet must always be free. Free today, free tomorrow, free forever. Oh, God.

Selina · Kent:That's not funny, Kent. / I haven't been funny since 1987.
Selina:I didn't come to North Carolina to lose. I don't even like to change planes here.
Selina · Gary:I just wanna be president. / Do you want six almonds? / No!
Selina · Gary:Did we win? / Oh, yeah. I'm the president, and you're the First Lady. / Oh, we would crush it.
Selina:You know, it's worse having to hear it from Mike.
Selina · Catherine:Guys, who gives a shit where people shit? / That is literally the point, Mother.
Selina:Yeah, most importantly, he has a penis. Right, Governor?
Unknown staffer · Selina:Might want to double-check that penis. / That's Kent's job.
Selina:If you can't figure out how to steal South Carolina, you have no business being president.
Selina · Furlong:Hittin' a little close to home there, Roger, minus the big-titted part. / We've never had a complaint, have we?
Selina:Beautiful. Well done, pig. Dismissed.
Selina:I've got the diving bell and the governor.
Selina:There is no place for Jonah Ryan in my administration. Or anywhere in the universe where the building blocks of life are present.
Richard · Selina:You just broke North Carolina's transgender bathroom law. / What? / I've been fielding media requests all morning, Richard.
Selina:Why does everybody get good at their job after I fire them?
Selina:I would rather cheese-grater my clit.
Marjorie · Selina · Catherine:Oh, no, ma'am. I'm a cis woman. / Right. That's not a crazy question to ask. / Not at all.
Selina:You and your gay pals can make me the grand marshal of the next parade that you have that messes up all the traffic.
Marjorie · Selina · Selina · Marjorie:Actually, ma'am, it's a myth that lesbians and gay men have any natural affinity. As a matter of fact, Gertrude Stein was physically disgusted by male homosexuals. / Excuse me? / How'd she feel about tedious lesbians? / Big fan, ma'am.
Selina:This is why everyone should just fly private.
Kent · Selina · Kent:The most compelling number to me is not a number at all, it's a concept. / I said pretend, okay? / I was pretending. My favorite number is Euler's number.
Selina:I want to offer Buddy Calhoun Veep. / Okay. / 'Cause with his delegates and all that Bible-y BS, the rest of the delegates'll have to fall in line, and Kemi can go and suck lecture-circuit dick in hell. And by 'hell,' I mean The Kennedy School.
Selina:Oh, please. Buddy's not flirting with anything that's not wearing a leather vest and a Nazi cap.
Selina · Ben · Selina:Have Jonah instruct his delegates of Dr. Moreau to back me on the second ballot tonight, and we might be able to find something for him at... / EPA. / Perfect.
Selina:Assemblyman, I have been to Buffalo six times, and I'm not even a serial killer. So I... Okay, forget it.
Selina:And just tell 'em they can violate me with their assault rifles and a full slab of ribs on top of a stack of slavery-free history textbooks.
Selina · Gary · Selina:I just wanna be president. / Do you want six almonds? / No!
Selina · Kent · Selina · Kent:This, Kent, is why I was right not to offer her Veep. / She's the worst. / Yeah. / Ma'am, all due respect, maybe you should consider being her Veep.
Selina · Kent:That's not fucking funny, Kent. / I haven't been funny since 1987.
Selina · Richard · Richard · Richard:Oh, yes! Politico's reporting that Jonah's talking to you about the Secretary of Commerce. / I wish. Sounds much better than the conversation we were having about why his urine is pink. / We ruled out beets because he doesn't know what those are. / Then had to rule it right back in for the same reason.
Selina · Richard · Selina · Richard:All right, listen, one thing is clear after this runaway-Ferris wheel of a convention, and that's that Montez is gonna be president for another four years. / Makes sense. She made me proud to be an American again. / Okay, but after that, it's Splett time. / We can't call it that unless we want to get sued by my uncle's podcast.
Selina · Kent · Selina:I honestly think I might be in hell. / No such place, ma'am. The concept of hell is a cultural memory of pre-Mosaic child sacrifice among proto-Judean peoples. / You're making a strong case for hell.
Selina · Tom James:Well, they may have to put him in a medically induced coma, so... / It's what he always wanted.
Selina:Wipe that grin-eating dick off your face.
Selina · Gary · Ben · Selina:Tom James. / Kent says he'll take it on tomorrow night's ballot. / I think this is it for me, too. / Oh, no. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be good as new, and then we'll figure out my next move.
Ben · Selina · Ben · Selina:Hey, do me a favor. / What? / Don't tell my wife and kids, okay? I mean, I could really use the break. / That's not a problem. I've never met 'em.
Selina:Tom's making a move on New York, so, you get ahold of Governor Schnozzlestein right now...
Selina:...trust me, he will never see you as anything other than the TGI Friday's hostess on Proactiv who lets him bend you over his desk, while you close your eyes to avoid coming face-to-face with that framed photo of his family's trip to Aspen, while he drowns your Little Mermaid back tat in a pool of jizz and admires his own reflection.
Selina · Tom's aide:I just hate to see smart women throw away their political careers on powerful men who only see them as the gash of least resistance. / Mmm. / I mean, you strike me as a smart woman. / Are you?
Tom James aide on TV · Selina · Tom James aide on TV · Selina · Selina:I was just this naive, innocent young woman who had dreams... / 'Innocent young woman.' That's hilarious, don't you think? / But that girl doesn't exist anymore. She's dead. / Murdered by Tom James. / That is actually all me. I will take credit for that.
Tom James · Selina · Selina:My wife, my pregnant wife, is not answering the phone. I am now a national fucking pariah! Why would you do this, Selina? / I guess that the Tom James charm only goes so far with the ladies. / That's one theory, but... Oh, listen, while I've got you. Is it okay if I don't wave to you from the stage? Because with all of this, I need to keep my distance.
Selina · Selina:Toodle-oo. / So emotional, right? This is why we need a woman in office.
Selina · Buddy Calhoun · Selina:Governor Calhoun, what do I have to do to get your support? / President Meyer, I'm a simple man... / I see that.
Buddy Calhoun · Selina · Selina · Selina · Buddy Calhoun:Pernicious homosexuals are luring decent, God-fearing heterosexual men into sin and sweaty degradation. / Mmm. / You know, Buddy, I gotta tell you something. It... It happens, and... / You can't beat yourself up about it. / What?
Selina:I'll kill gay marriage. / In exchange for your support, I will raw-dog a plank right up our party's platform, and I will outlaw same-sex marriage.
Selina · Buddy Calhoun · Selina · Buddy Calhoun · Selina · Gary · Selina · Buddy Calhoun · Selina · Buddy Calhoun · Selina · Buddy Calhoun:Governor, can I get an amen? / You can get an amen, and I'll throw in a hallelujah. / I love it. / And my endorsement. / Thank you, sir. Wonderful! / Wow. Yeah. / I think we're buddies now, aren't we? / Oh, yeah, very much. / Can you be a buddy with someone of the opposite sex? / Oh, well, under certain circumstances, yeah, we are. / Buddy up! Buddy up! / That's a great expression.
Selina:Not in that outfit. But yeah, come on in.
Amy · Selina:You can't let an embittered, vindictive, narcissistic man-child be one heartbeat away from the presidency, let alone be the president. / Amy, there's no safer place to stick Jonah Ryan in all of Washington, D.C. Being vice president is like being declawed, defanged, neutered, ball-gagged, and sealed in an abandoned coal mine under two miles of human shit! It is a fate worse than death.
Selina:Besides, I'm not gonna die, 'cause I got the heart and the twat of a high school cheerleader who's only done anal!
Jonah · Selina staffers · Jonah · Selina · Gary · Jonah:I want Richard to be Secretary of farm shit. / We're gonna have to fire Dan. / Why do you want to fire him? / Uh, just as a way of saying sorry for yelling at you earlier. / You know, feminism. / That sounds great. Fire Dan. He sucks.
Selina · Catherine · Selina:Catherine, it is just the party platform. It's like a to-do list of things we're not gonna do. / 'Restore faith in democracy?' / I mean, we couldn't do that even if we wanted to.
Sherman Tanz · Selina · Keith · Selina · Selina:Casino licenses in Macao. / Oh, and... Did you hear that, Keith? / I did. / How could you? / Okay, Macao.
Selina:Catherine, it is just the party platform. It's like a to-do list of things we're not gonna do. 'Restore faith in democracy?' I mean, we couldn't do that even if we wanted to.
Selina · Gary · Selina:Oh, well, if I had a dollar for every 'Mother, I will never forgive you...' / Bazillionaire. / Correct.
Andrew (Catherine's son?) · Selina · Andrew · Selina · Gary:Are you out of your fucking mind, Gram-Ma'am? / No. Oh, my God. Okay. / I will never forgive you for this! / Mmm? Yep. / Ka-ching.
Selina:That DeVito's a hell of a speechwriter.
Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina · Gary · Gary · Selina · Gary · Selina:Anyway, listen, it's kind of important, actually, and I would also say... / Okay, yeah. / That it's not easy... / Okay. / And it's kinda also not fair. / You want coffee from across the street? Yeah? / Ah! I got it. Little chia seed. / Nah. Never mind. Forget I ever said anything. / You look beautiful. / And you are a lifesaver.
Selina · Amy · Selina · Amy · Selina · Amy · Amy · Amy:Congratulations to you, Amy! / Thank you! / You're gonna be Jonah's chief of staff. / Huh? / I don't like the way you talked to me the other day. / Uh-huh. / Yeah. Yeah. / Yes!
Aide · Selina:Ma'am, Joint Chiefs are getting a little squirrely about Chinese tank movements near the Tibetan border. / Oh, my God. What a bunch of pussies.
Aide · Selina · Aide:Ma'am, we're expecting a call from the Israeli prime minister about the Palestinian food riots. / That reminds me, I'm starving. Gary! / Oh, ma'am, Gary doesn't work here.
Selina · Aide · Selina · Aide · Selina · Aide · Selina:I know. Why are you telling me things that I already know? / Sorry. Yes. / You know? / But I would be more than happy to get you something to eat. What would you like? / You figure that out. / Okay. / Why am I coming up with solutions for you? That's your job, right? That's not my job.
Selina:David? Shalom. / So, what did the Palestinians do this time? / David, I have to tell you, my daughter Catherine was exactly the same way, a whiner.
Selina:Jesus Christ. / No, no. Not you, David.
