Trump Card (2016)

Norm Lewis: Edison Davis

Quotes 

• Edison Davis : [talking to reporters]  Hollis Doyle is a thug. A punk. And the people who support him are thugs or punks. Or they condone his behavior. They are not Americans. The idea that this country belongs to one kind of person is the least American idea that anyone has ever had. In fact, it is the opposite of the ideals of this nation. Nothing needs to be restored. Nothing needs to be made great again. We are a better nation than we were 20 years ago. Than we were 50 years ago. Than we were 100 years ago. Than we were at our founding. That is the point of America. We are a country where we are always greater than our past. I am proud to live in a nation where a black man has a legitimate shot at the White House. That's American greatness.

• [last lines] 

  Edison Davis : I'm not going to apologize. I said what had to be said.

  Rowan Pope : No apologies necessary, son. I just need to confirm what I already know. That speech was Olivia's idea. She saved you and beat me. Hmm? You're not crafty enough to execute that move on your own.

  Edison Davis : You can't hurt me.

  Rowan Pope : Luckily, I don't have to.

  Edison Davis : Listen, I am nobody's Fool.

  Jake Ballard : [pins Edison's head to his desk]  I'm gonna allow you to live because Rowan may need you in the future. I would have made a fantastic Vice President. You really missed out. We would have had some fun times.

  [Rowan walks out of the room] 

  Jake Ballard : [whispering now]  Tell Liv I need her help. Tell her I want to escape. Tell her I'm chasing the sun.
