I also think that one should just acknowledge that where he was from, there is something that happens when you do an accent. And in fact, sometimes when I would say to Bo or one of the other writers, this is really good and I love the idea, but it rhythmically doesn't help.

And that's not iambic pentameter. I'm not talking about that. There is that as well in Shakespeare, but there was some times when it's too many lines, it's not enough lines in order for me to make this work for the way he speaks, the way he sounds, and what that accent does to emphasis.

Not really at all. I mean, Clinton, you know, look, Bill Clinton, he had a way of talking, you know, that he was very slow and he felt your pain, you know. But Frank Underwood was deeper, more direct, and less poetic in the way that Clinton would talk. I'll tell you this Clinton story that you'll like.

And the president is going to come. He's going to see this four and a half hour play. And then we're going to do this event afterward. And a couple of weeks before we're going to do this event, someone at the White House calls and says, listen, it's very unusual to get the president for like six and a half hours. So we're suggesting that the president come and see the first act. And then he goes.
