Tim Daly: Henry McCord

Quotes 

• Elizabeth McCord : [end of day conversation]  Chen said, "Idealism kills. Mutual interests save lives." Do you think he's right?

  Henry McCord : Uh, well, for starters, "mutual interests" aren't always the same as equal ones. So, his own statement is an ideal, used to justify his self-interest.

  Elizabeth McCord : Oh, man! I wish I would've said that.
