Jackie Sharp : I'm not comfortable with the dynamic we've established.
Francis Underwood : What dynamic is that?
Jackie Sharp : The leash you have me on. How I'm supposed to roll over and do any trick you want. You're taking me for granted.
Francis Underwood : What, am I supposed to be appreciative of your lack luster enthusiasm?
[raising and walking around his desk]
Francis Underwood : How fortunate I am to have you sort-of on my team? You not "happy" with our "dynamic"? Well, I'm not happy with your attitude. If anything, you're taking *me* for granted.
Jackie Sharp : Sir...
Francis Underwood : We had a deal, Jackie. And I am perfectly willing to hold up my end of the bargain. But do not be under any illusion. This is not a partnership of equals. Nothing close to it. If you were to be my Vice President, you will do what I ask. And we will not have this conversation every time you feel "uncomfortable" with what I ask you to do. Or how I choose to conduct myself. That's our "dynamic".
