Sophie Devereaux:
[pretending to be a defense contractor] My company's focused on meeting Senators, but, um, I'm thinking Congressmen.

Charles Dufort:
You know the great thing about Congressmen? 50, 100 grand well spent will get one elected. But then, once they're in, the incumbency rate is over 95%! So you can get on an average 18, 20 years use out of one of them. In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make!

Alec Hardison:
[listening in on surveillance] Oh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm a professional criminal and I find that disturbing.
