Quotes 

• Francis Underwood : This is your fist visit to the White House...

  Viktor Petrov : Yes, yes. But my third President.

• Viktor Petrov : Do you know what the best part of the fall of the Soviet Union was? The cars. Have you ever been in a, um... a Lada?

  Francis Underwood : Lada? No, I haven't.

  Viktor Petrov : No? Oh, it's the worst car ever built. Tiny little thing, you know. Your head would hit the ceiling when you hit a pothole. And the heat? Never worked.

  [he chuckles] 

  Viktor Petrov : And no air conditioning, you know, your skin would stick to the seats in the summer. It was a coffin on wheels. But then, after the fall, we got the Lexus. Temperature control. Automatic windows. And, and so much room. First time I fucked my ex-wife? In a Lexus.

  [Frank laughs] 

  Viktor Petrov : You could never do that in a Lada, no space, huh?

  [he laughs, then quickly becomes serious] 

  Viktor Petrov : You see, Mr. President... I want the Lexus. And you're trying to sell me a Lada.

• Viktor Petrov : [after demonstrating pickle with vodka]  Now you, Mrs. Underwood.

  Claire Underwood : To President Petrov, and his little pickle.

• Francis Underwood : Brass tacks. If you could have anything, what would it be?

  Viktor Petrov : I came with nothing to ask.

  Francis Underwood : Men like you don't show up for dinner without an appetite.

• Viktor Petrov : [inviting him to his dacha]  Let's surf together. The water is cold as hell, but the women are very warm.

  Francis Underwood : Oh, I'm not sure what Claire would think about that.
