• Francis Underwood : You don't know what it's like to go through life looking over your shoulder, having secrets no one would understand.

  Thomas Yates : I didn't write my first book. My friend, the one who died...

  Francis Underwood : He wrote it?

  Thomas Yates : The first half. He didn't show it to anyone except me. In the hospital, he asked me to destroy it. I told him I would. It was too good. It needed to be finished. So I finished it.

  Francis Underwood : And took all the credit.

  Thomas Yates : Oh yeah. It's my part, the ending, that's what people remember. But the book, my entire career... It's all based on a lie. You don't have a monopoly on secrets.
