Clips from Madam Secretary - The Dissent Memo (S03E03)

"Stones from the tomb of the Christian woman in Tipaza."
Madam Secretary
"Not too far from the monastery."
Madam Secretary
"Stones, though; very hard to prove authenticity."
Madam Secretary
"What's this one?"
Madam Secretary
""Reliquary of St. Augustine from the Basilica in Annaba"."
Madam Secretary
"Looks like St. Augustine has the same taste"
Madam Secretary
"Trust me,"
Madam Secretary
"this is not St. Augustine style."
Madam Secretary
"This is the Colonial French feeling guilty."
Madam Secretary
"See, when France took over Algeria,"
Madam Secretary
"they felt bad because none of Augustine's remains were"
Madam Secretary
"in Annaba, his hometown, so they made this reliquary"
Madam Secretary
"to return his arm bone to the basilica."
Madam Secretary
"Where's Annaba?"
Madam Secretary
"Northeastern Algeria."
Madam Secretary
"Part of the ancient city of Hippo Regius."
Madam Secretary
"Maybe HS sacked that place, too?"
Madam Secretary
"There's plenty there worth looting."
Madam Secretary
"But I didn't think they'd gotten that far north."
Madam Secretary
"Let's check with DEA."
Madam Secretary
"See if we can trace this back to the seller."
Madam Secretary
"ELIZABETH: Susan."
Madam Secretary
"I'm sorry to disrupt your schedule, Madam Secretary."
Madam Secretary
"N-No, no, no."
Madam Secretary
"I'm-I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Madam Secretary
"has been getting all the attention."
Madam Secretary
"- You know how that goes. - Oh, I do."
Madam Secretary
"So..."
Madam Secretary
"The bombing in Luanda, that was a travesty."
Madam Secretary
"How's Kalanga?"
Madam Secretary
"She's injured, but alive, thank God."
Madam Secretary
"I-I'm really sorry"
Madam Secretary
"that I haven't been able to respond,"
Madam Secretary
"but I'll issue a statement condemning the..."
Madam Secretary
"the group's actions in the... strongest terms."
Madam Secretary
"With all respect, Madam Secretary, the situation"
Madam Secretary
"in Angola has gone well beyond a statement of condemnation."
Madam Secretary
"Which is why I'm here."
Madam Secretary
"A memo of dissent?"
Madam Secretary
"to our policies in Angola."
Madam Secretary
"For 30 years, President Bestilo has enjoyed"
Madam Secretary
"generous trade agreements with the United States,"
Madam Secretary
"a wealth of subsidies,"
Madam Secretary
"and a blind eye to his increasing corruption"
Madam Secretary
"- and cronyism. - Are you suggesting"
Madam Secretary
"that President Bestilo was behind the attack?"
Madam Secretary
"I'm saying that this administration's"
Madam Secretary
"deafening silence after an attack"
Madam Secretary
"that killed twice as many people as that bombing in Rome..."
Madam Secretary
"It's just the latest example"
Madam Secretary
"of ongoing indifference."
Madam Secretary
"So, dissent memo?"
Madam Secretary
"Bestilo put a ban on all public assembly this morning,"
Madam Secretary
"supposedly to protect the people."
Madam Secretary
"But it is obvious he's using this bombing as a cover"
Madam Secretary
"to silence his opponent."
Madam Secretary
"The people want Kalanga and he knows it."
Madam Secretary
"He's stealing this election."
Madam Secretary
"I can't ask my staff to stand by silently"
Madam Secretary
"while the administration does nothing."
Madam Secretary
"I will do everything in my power"
Madam Secretary
"- to make our deep displeasure known. - No."
Madam Secretary
"Not another "urge,"
Madam Secretary
"encourage, concern" phone call."
Madam Secretary
"This needs action, Elizabeth."
Madam Secretary
"a once-in-a-generation candidate,"
Madam Secretary
"and the rest of the world shrugs"
Madam Secretary
"'cause nobody went to Luanda on a honeymoon,"
Madam Secretary
"that's an African story I'm tired of telling."
Madam Secretary
"NADINE: We've got some"
Madam Secretary
"changes to note in the secretary's schedule."
Madam Secretary
"Uh, the Emissions and Deforestation Conference"
Madam Secretary
"will be postponed."
Madam Secretary
"Thank you. And we've added"
Madam Secretary
"the NFL Diplomacy Initiative"
Madam Secretary
"in Cleveland, ma'am."
Madam Secretary
"(soft murmurs)"
Madam Secretary
"Yeah, the... president is stepping off"
Madam Secretary
"the campaign trail."
Madam Secretary
"As in, campaigning?"
Madam Secretary
"No, no. It-it's just a little..."
Madam Secretary
"pre-game interview about..."
Madam Secretary
"football and diplomacy."
Madam Secretary
"Well, Russell Jackson insists it's legal."
Madam Secretary
"Hey, wait."
Madam Secretary
"Who's doing the interview?"
Madam Secretary
"James Brown."
Madam Secretary
"Oh."
Madam Secretary
"That would be, uh, fellow diplomat"
Madam Secretary
"and ambassador of soul, James Brown."
Madam Secretary
"CBS Sportscaster James Brown. J.B.!"
Madam Secretary
"- Hmm. - NADINE: And what exactly"
Madam Secretary
"is it that Russell Jackson would like you to say?"
Madam Secretary
"Legally."
Madam Secretary
"of "Please put President Dalton on the ballot in Ohio.""
Madam Secretary
"Um, Dalton's not on the ballot because"
Madam Secretary
"of the sore loser law, right?"
Madam Secretary
"Just recently,"
Madam Secretary
"the NFL changed the extra point rule..."
Madam Secretary
"were making it, so they moved it back to the 15 yard line."
Madam Secretary
"Right, and just as the NFL can change the rules,"
Madam Secretary
"to make the game fair and competitive..."
Madam Secretary
"So Ohio can reexamine its policy"
Madam Secretary
"in this historically unprecedented"
Madam Secretary
"third party run."
Madam Secretary
"- Yes! - ELIZABETH: Oh, that's good."
Madam Secretary
"Oh, I like that."
Madam Secretary
"I like that... mm... G-Give more of those."
Madam Secretary
"Okay, moving on."
Madam Secretary
"Yes, sorry. We need to talk about the bombing in Angola."
Madam Secretary
"Kalanga survive?"
Madam Secretary
"ELIZABETH: Yeah, with injuries."
Madam Secretary
"But President Bestilo is using the attack"
Madam Secretary
"to suppress his opponent, and this morning,"
Madam Secretary
"I received a dissent memo"
Madam Secretary
"from the Bureau of African Affairs,"
Madam Secretary
"urging a stronger response."
Madam Secretary
"Um, can I see it?"
Madam Secretary
"It's an understandable"
Madam Secretary
"frustration at our ongoing cooperation"
