  Alice Charles : I don't like who we've become.

  Alice Charles : What politics has turned us into.

  Astrid Sloan : Payton is exactly the same as he's always been.

  Alice Charles : What it's turning me into. I'm selfish. I'm unkind. I willing to cheat .. to wreck lives, if necessary.

  Astrid Sloan : How do you know that's not just who you are? Politics hasn't changed you. It just so happens to be the perfect job for your particular moral and ethical skill set.
