• Francis Underwood : [Peter Russo is in Francis's bedroom late at night after receiving angry emails]  What's going on Peter?

  [pause] 

  Francis Underwood : Talk to me

  Rep. Peter Russo : [Holding and staring at the towel in his hand]  You think fresh towels changes anything?

  [Individually throws towels at Francis and then moves in front of his face] 

  Rep. Peter Russo : If I were at home when you pulled that shit, I'd beat the fuck out of you. I would crack your skull on the pavement outside; that's why I came over here tonight, to fuck you up for what you made me do.

  [Peter moves back to the bed and sinks to the ground] 

  Rep. Peter Russo : I'm gonna wake up tomorrow, and all my friends, all those people are still fucked, and I'm still fucked-you fucked us, technically- but I'm gonna get blamed for it. So now I'm gonna have to carry that burden on my shoulders... I shouldn't have let you do it, but i did.

  Francis Underwood : [Francis moves over to Peter and stands over him]  Are you quite done?

  [pause] 

  Francis Underwood : Good. Get up

  Rep. Peter Russo : No

  Francis Underwood : [Francis moves over to the bedroom door opening it]  I said get up and follow me.

  [He leaves the bedroom and walks into the bathroom. Peter reluctantly follows his orders into the bathroom just as Francis finishes filling the bathtub with water] 

  Francis Underwood : Get in. Take off your clothes and get in.
