Quotes 

• President Jack Davis : Did you really think that you could shanghai the President of the United States?

  Rachel Matheson : President? Please. You are a lying car salesman. And sooner or later, people will figure out the truth.

  President Jack Davis : The truth? Americans don't want the truth. Americans wanna feel safe. And they'll hand over control to anyone who will give them that, and that is why I can rape Texas and destroy California, and everyone will just smile and say thanks. I'm an insult to the real America. Lady, I am America.

• Sebastian 'Bass' Monroe : You gotta be kidding me, right? So these idiots are gonna go to war anyway? That whole hero act back in that town, that was... for nothing. I abandoned my kid... for nothing.

  Rachel Matheson : I don't know, you saved a couple hundred people.

  Sebastian 'Bass' Monroe : They're dead anyway, Rachel. Here's what happens next. Texas rips into California. California, they rip right back. And then for the encore the patriots waltz in and they mop up the rest. The whole country is their sandbox. Boot camps and eye tats and typhus, oh, my! That's the ball game folks! Done!

• Miles Matheson : I know what you're thinking.

  Rachel Matheson : No, you don't know what I'm thinking.

  Miles Matheson : Don't worry. Bass'll be there. With the President.

  Rachel Matheson : Okay, you know what I'm thinking. How can you be so sure?

  Miles Matheson : Well, I'm trying something new: prayer.

• Rachel Matheson : [to President Davis]  I know you remember me. You were my boss' boss, after all. I actually went to a party at your house once. Company thing. It was a barbecue. Fourth of July - do you see the irony in that? And look at us now. What I need to say from the bottom of my heart... is screw you. Screw you for ruining everything you're trying to do to this country. You are an insult to the true America.
