Scandal (TV Series)

The Other Woman (2012)

Jeff Perry: Cyrus Beene

Quotes 

• Cyrus Beene : James, I can't have a baby with you. Because I already have a baby and his name is Fitzgerald Grant. And my baby is troubled and angry and exhausting, and brilliant and he might actually change the world if I can keep my eyes on him every minute and make sure he eats his vegetables and so I don't have time or the energy or extra space in my soul for another baby, James. I'm sorry. I don't. I can't. I don't have it in me to take care of someone else. Because I'm busy taking care of the United States of America.

• Amos Carver : Get out of my way, Cy...

  Cyrus Beene : Actually, I need you to stay out here with me. It's a clearance thing.

  Amos Carver : I'm the director of the CIA!

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Not anymore you're not. I won't be photo-shopped into a war. I want a resignation letter on my desk in the morning. You've been wanting to spend more time with your family.

  [to Cyrus] 

  President Fitzgerald Grant : People still buy that one, right?

  Cyrus Beene : Hell, I plan on using it someday...
