Elizabeth: So why tell me now?
Matt: Because now Jackson wants me to spy on you.
Elizabeth: Really?
Matt: Yeah, in exchange for a job at The White House. I tried to tell him no, but he made me promise to think about it.
Elizabeth: Tell him you'll do it.

Jackson: You don't backstab the President of your own party without consequences.
Marsh: Is that a threat, Russell?
Jackson: It's a guarantee. I speak for the President on this. As you might imagine, he's very upset.
Marsh: And he'll have no compunction whatsoever slitting the throat of someone who has been a staunch ally and helped get him elected.
Jackson: So it goes.

Matt: I never agreed to spy on Secretary McCord. I won't do it.

So it goes.
