Compromises
(Season: 2 Episode: 12)
First Aired: 2/17/2008
Robert: I didn't get the endorsement. It's probably your cosmic payback.
Jason: I don't want payback.
Robert: Yeah, because you're good, and forgiving. I wish I was more like you.
Jason: I feel like we're both doing the same thing, you know? We're making compromises for a greater purpose.
Robert: Is that what I'm doing? 'Cause boy, I don't know, it all just seems like a game. Attack this guy, stay away from that issue, and in the end, what do you really accomplish?
Jason: Well, you didn't get into politics for money, or power. A lot easier ways to get that, right? I think we were both called to serve.
Robert: Thank you. Well, listen, it could all be over in 24 hours.
Sarah: I'm in a bar.
Graham: Are you drunk-dialing me?
Sarah: (when picking out a karaoke song) How about Dolly Parton. You love her.
Kevin: No I don't.
Sarah: Remember back in high school? You said she had the only pair of breasts you ever noticed.
Sarah: Actually, Kevin and I are going to do a big duet.
Scotty: Really?
Sarah: Yes.
Kevin: (at the same time) No.
Scotty: Okay, well, I'm glad that's settled.
Kevin: I would, but my throat's a little sore.
Sarah: Liar.
Kevin: Traitor.
Jason: I know about Isaac. And you still put him on your payroll.
Robert: That was a long time ago.
Jason: No, no, you breaking my Rock-em Sock-em Robots, okay, that was a long time ago. Me being outed in the local paper when I was barely twenty, that's damn recent.
Robert: This is something that we should talk about. But right now...
Jason: It's inconvenient, is that right? Unlike when you're campaigning in the Bay Area, when having a gay brother is the thing you're most proud of.
Robert: I have been completely consistent with you, I've never hidden or lied about your sexuality, I couldn't care less whether you're gay. Would it be easier for me, if you weren't? Yeah.
Jason: I'm sorry I can't make it any easier for you.
