Carla Gugino - The Brink S01E02-03 (2015)

Then why are you helping these people?

Because I'm the only friend that that arrogant little imperialist has, okay?

Samana is going to parade that ignorant jackass to the world as a ***

and use it to consolidate his power and destroy our country.

Well, there is that too.

You have put this entire family in danger.

Are you risking your life for someone who will surely never return the favour?

And you are leaving the house without having eaten anything.

Ma, I'll grab something on the way.

That's all I ask.

Hey.

I'm stuck at the White House, for real.

I actually believe you this time. I've been watching the news.

On a slightly less urgent note,

what did the president say about pushing my judicial nomination through the Senate?

I didn't ask him.

He's a little busy trying to stave off nuclear winter.

This is well. I'm gonna withdraw.

Who needs their name dragged through the mud by some tired old fucker from the great state of Montana?

No, you're not withdrawing your name. Be patient.
