Madam Secretary — S04E03 — The Essentials

00:00:02 WOMAN : Before we return to the mat for our next down dog,

00:01:43 More time to spend with the kids.

00:03:33 I mean, don't get me wrong,

00:05:03 They are contractors, and under the guidelines,

00:06:41 If we tackle this together, I'm confident that we can

00:08:27 if he compromises American security in any way...

00:10:01 But Mom, uh, we're also calling because we actually need a little favor.

00:11:41 Will do, Madam Secretary.

00:13:42 Of course it is. Everything he did, everything he endured was for me.

00:15:33 My son Roman and his girlfriend Shindy are gonna have a baby.

00:17:07 And you will love that child so much,

00:18:53 But we're just talking about designating a few contractors as essential.

00:20:40 - What? - You don't believe me but you will.

00:23:10 I... puked and cried and I shivered

00:24:50 Sorry. I'm sorry. Uh, I drafted some remarks in case of a shutdown,

00:26:28 You'll have to drive me away with a stick.

00:28:16 probably within our timeframe, because they're already in the region.

00:30:01 But we'll see how I do, right?

00:31:39 Great. So are we a go?

00:33:39 So if you're having any issues with the VA, or retiring from active duty,

00:35:21 "Ah, that's Washington for you. A pox on both their houses."

00:37:34 I'd like to request some personal leave to spend some time with mine.

00:39:44 And... it has been my great honor to serve you.

00:42:22 goodnight and good luck.
