- David Rosen: [standing outside Huck's interrogation chamber] He hasn't answered any of our questions yet.
- Suit: He will. They always do. Eventually, they always do.
- David Rosen: Uh, I'm just wondering about... It really looks like he can't take much more of the waterboard - the interrogating. And I'm wondering maybe if we want to do a little less "interrogating" and maybe start thinking about his civil rights. I'm a US Attorney, gentlemen. I represent the United States of America. The United States of America is in this room with you, so you need to watch how you treat the prisoner on American soil.
- Suit: I represent the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, and all the men and women who ever fought and died for your right to stand in this room with your glasses and your briefcase and spout your crap. We're not on American soil. This is not America. This is the Pentagon, and that is an enemy combatant. Son, I represent the United States. You understand? The United States of America is in the room with you. You're our guest here. Shut your mouth.
- Harrison Wright: This is next level stuff... This is about things that go bump in the night. Stuff regular Americans never hear about. This is the real deal.

- Hollis Doyle: The American people deserve to know you, Sally Langston, caught the President's shooter. You haven't turned bashful on old Hollis.
- Sally Langston: I told the Attorney General I want to announce it tonight, in prime time.
- Hollis Doyle: So what's the holdup?
- Sally Langston: They're still interrogating the suspect.
- Hollis Doyle: "Suspect." That boy's guilty as a chicken-feathered hound.
- Sally Langston: Well, they insist the evidence is circumstantial, but we need a confession before we announce.
- Hollis Doyle: Are y'all using enhanced interrogation techniques?
- Sally Langston: Yes, repeatedly. He's not cracking.
- Hollis Doyle: Maybe they need to enhance the enhancements.
- Cyrus Beene: It's not the worst move.
- Olivia Pope: It is absolutely the worst. It's a federal crime. It's treason. Forging the President's signature on a letter of reinstatement when he's not even conscious is Do you understand that we live in a democracy with laws and rules and civil discourse? This is not Nicaragua.
- Olivia Pope: [to Fitz's Secret Service agent] We need an anecdote from a well-placed and unimpeachable inside source.
- Hal Rimbeau: I'm a terrible liar. I'm not your man, ma'am.
- Olivia Pope: No, it's not a lie. It's just a story. You've told a tall tale to a kid before, right, for fun?
- Hal Rimbeau: No, ma'am...
- [walks away]
- Cyrus Beene: When I called the Times, they said you sill worked there.
- James Novak: They know I'm planning on quitting, and I will, just as soon as we get the baby.
- Cyrus Beene: Great. That's a relief. Because that little girl isn't going to raise herself, is she?
- James Novak: No, she is not.
- Cyrus Beene: Still, adoptions go wrong all the time. Right? Wouldn't get your hopes up. It might take a miracle to get a baby in your arms.
- David Rosen: I know where Huck is. They're torturing him. They skipped the sleep deprivation and electric shock elements of the program, went right to the free skate waterboarding.
- Edison Davis: You all may have done a masterful job with the press and the American public, but Sally Langston is whispering to anyone who will listen that all is not right here in Camelot.
- Olivia Pope: Sally has a right to her opinion, but I'm not gonna dignify it with a response.
- Edison Davis: Olivia, if that letter from President Grant was forged, there will be joint Congressional hearings and letters of impeachment. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will turn the Senate Chamber into a courtroom, and you will be the star witness for the prosecution. Forging that letter, or helping whoever did forge that letter, is staging a coup. It's an act of domestic terrorism.
- Olivia Pope: You have no idea what you're talking about.
- Edison Davis: I am the leader of the Senate. If my job description requires, I won't hesitate to prosecute you to the full extent of the law. And guess what. I make the law. So you talk it over with whomever you need to talk it over with, and then you let me know when the President is ready to see me.
- Olivia Pope: [stepping forward with a steely eye] Good-bye, Edison.
- Becky Flynn: They're not moving him to camp David tonight, are they?
- Huck: No.
- Becky Flynn: And by the time I reach for my gun, you'll have put four bullets in me?
- Huck: Five. One for the dog.
- [last lines]
- Olivia Pope: [taking a call from Cyrus] Hello?
- Cyrus Beene: Someone wants to talk to you...
- President Fitzgerald Grant: Hi.
- Olivia Pope: Hi!
