The lines are too classic... a sentence and a sentence~ I haven't done dictation practice for a long time, I just need to sharpen my ears

[EP01]
1. - Frank: "There are two kinds of pain, sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain, the sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things. Moments like this require someone who will act, or do the unpleasant thing, or the necessary thing."

2. - Frank: "I love that woman. I love her more than sharks love blood."

3. - Frank:"Oh, is foreplay over?"
- Zoe: "I read somewhere that JFK never lasted more than three minutes."
- Frank:"The point been?"
- Zoe: "Time is precious. Powerful people don't have the luxury of foreplay."

4. - Catherine:"Kern is a boy scout."
- Frank:"Nobody is a boy scout,not even boy scouts."

5. - Russo:"It was just this one time, Frank, I swear to God."
- Frank:"Than you must hold God in every low esteem, because we both know that's a lie."

6. - Frank:" Power's a lot like real estate, it's all about location, location, location. The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value."

【EP02】
1. - Frank: "Such a waste of time. He chose money over power- in this town, a mistake that nearly everyone makes. Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries."

2. - Frank:"What a martyr craves more than anything is a sword to fall on, so you sharpen the blade, hold it at just the right angle, and then 3, 2,1."

【EP04】
1. - Frank: "I know you take a lot of pride in your manhood, Bob, and it's impressive, but as big as it is, Linda can still shut the door on it."
2. - Frank: "You see, Freddy believes that if a fridge falls off a minivan, you better swerve out of its way. I believe it's a fridge's job to swerve out of mine."

【EP05】
1. - Claire:" You know what Francis said to me when he proposed? I remember his exact words. He said, 'Claire, if all you want is happiness, say no. I'm not gonna give you a couple of kids and count the days until retirement. I promise you'll be freedom from that. I promise you'll never be bored.' You know he was the only man. And there were a lot of others proposed. But he was the only one who understood me. He didn't pu me on some pedestal. He knew that I didn't want to be adored or coddled. So he took my hand and put a ring on it. Because he knew I'd say yes. He's a man who knows how to take he wants."

    The same as the "news room" are two lines of political news, but the priority is just reversed. Compared with Alan Sorkin's love-hate fanaticism, directors such as David Fincher's easy-going coldness are obviously better. And after thoroughly ditching the moral justice and passionate preaching of the former, the "House of Cards" is like a cold political wine, which makes people indulge in the wonderful struggle for power. Five stars.

    Political struggle is still transformed into a personal desire in this play. The image of Underwood in the play is very uniform, from killing the dog in the first episode to killing Russell himself, but it is too much to show that this kind of wandering on the edge of danger may be Let people ignore the more important aspects of politics. The power of capital that appeared at the end of this season is a supplement. The drama depicts the specific conflicts well, and the characters are sharp enough, but unfortunately it is still not the political drama in my mind.

House of Cards quotes
