Mac Stipanovich: Listen, Katherine. Most people go through their lives never having a chance to make a difference.

But if you're a publical official wanting to make history then today is your lucky day, darling. You're about to pick the leader of the free world.
Katherine Harris: Don't you worry, Mac. It's going to take a lot more than David Letterman making fun of my hair and makeup to knock me down.
Mac Stipanovich: That is exactly why I backed your campaign when everyone else ran over to Mortham because you are a woman of action.
Katherine Harris: A woman of action. Like Queen Esther.
Mac Stipanovich: Queen Esther?
Katherine Harris: I have been reading my Bible quite a bit here lately, and I have been feeling this unusually strong kinship with Queen Esther. You recall Queen Esther, she was willing to sacrifice herself to save the lovely Jewish people. And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. And if I perish, I perish.
Mac Stipanovich: You have to stay strong, Katherine. The world needs to see that Katherine Harris is in charge. You need to bring this election in for a landing.
Katherine Harris: Yeah. Bring it in for a landing?
Mac Stipanovich: Bring it in for a landing with George W. Bush in the cockpit! They're gonna ask for extensions, for negotiations, for recounts. We don't have to let that happen, Katherine.

Ron Klain: [after arriving in Florida] I feel like I'm stuck in "The Night of the Living Bubbies."
Michael Whouley: Just stay calm. And whatever you do, don't yell "Bingo!"
