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."
