"I may have pushed him too far, which is worrisome. Friends make the worst enemies."

"It's so refreshing to work with someone who'll throw a saddle on a gift horse rather than look it in the mouth."

"I know you take a lot of pride in your manhood, Bob, it's impressive. But as big as it is, Linda can still shut the door on it."

Zoe Barnes: "Okay, so you think when a woman asks to be treated with respect, that's arrogance?"
Tom Hammerschmidt: "Are you accusing me of sexism?"
Zoe Barnes: "Just making an observation."
Tom Hammerschmidt: "No TV for a month."
Zoe Barnes: "What?"
Tom Hammerschmidt: "You heard me. No interviews."
Zoe Barnes: "That's completely unfair."
Tom Hammerschmidt: "You want to make it no TV indefinitely?"

"Treading water is the same as drowning for people like you and me."
