- Lily Maxwell: Gene, in exactly 20 minutes, you're meeting the Trans-Allied lawyers at the Capitol building.

- Lily Maxwell: No, no, no, Gene, you misunderstand. Whitley is here now.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: He came a day early.

- Marcy Hill: [the ac isn't working at the mansion] Did you ever get in touch with that air-conditioning man?

- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: No
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Because you love me more?
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: Honey, it's not a contest. The day may come where I may love another woman. I may even marry her
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Will you love her?
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: I expect so. I'm not the type to marry for money. But, honey, it won't change the way I feel about you.
