Catherine Durant : I just...
Francis Underwood : Because, you know you know, this is just not good for you.
Catherine Durant : The negotiations with the committee are just too far down the road.

Catherine Durant : My husband's waiting for me.
Francis Underwood : But you're gonna be made to look a fool.
Catherine Durant : There's no need to insult me, Francis.
Francis Underwood : Witness after witness is gonna rebut whatever you have to say.
