- Harrison Wright: You know who we are, and you know what this is, and don't pretend you don't. We do what needs to be done, and we don't question why. We put the personal to the left. Doesn't matter who gets hurt, doesn't matter what gets broke. It's not the thing that needs fixing. It does not matter! You want to cry about your feelings? Hmm? Really? Here? We don't get to have feelings. That's the job. Gladiators don't have feelings. We rush into battle. We're soldiers! We get hurt in the fight, we suck it up and we hold it down, and we don't question. And you know it, Abby. She saved me. She saved Huck. She saved Quinn. She saved you. And it's her life on the line now. Over a cliff, Abby. Over - a - cliff. Or did that only apply as long as Liv didn't have any flaws?
- [first lines]
- Huck: [stopping the elevator door with his arm] Hold the doors! Sorry...
- Hollis Doyle: I'm sorry. Do I know you?
- Huck: [drawing his gun on Charlie next to Hollis] Hands on your head!
- Hollis Doyle: Ho whoa, the hell is going on here?
- Huck: Hollis Doyle, meet Charlie. Charlie's here to kill you unless, I kill him first, but I'm not sure I'm ready to do that yet.
- Hollis Doyle: What do you want from me?
- Huck: It's what Olivia wants. She wants to protect you, but first she needs you to promise her that you won't take the deal they're offering you at justice.
- Hollis Doyle: Oh, hell, that's just posturing.
- Huck: I wish I could believe you, but I can't, which is why instead of killing Charlie and assuring your safety, I'm gonna let him live. If you keep your mouth shut, I'll be there to protect you. If you open it, he trades your head for a paycheck. Do I make myself clear?
- Hollis Doyle: [acquiescing]
- Olivia Pope: Edison, I'm really sorry. I could marry you. I could be a Senator's wife. I'd probably be happy. I could probably give all this up and live in a country house and have babies and be normal. I could. But I don't want to. I'm not built for it. I don't want normal and easy and simple. I want... I want...
- Edison Davis: What? What? What do you want, Olivia?
- Olivia Pope: I want painful - difficult - devastating - life-changing - extraordinary love. Don't you want that, too?
- Olivia Pope: This isn't about saving America. This is about saving your legacy. Killing Fitz means you never have to admit what you did. It means for the rest of eternity, whenever someone utters your name, it's with respect and honor.
- Verna Thornton: So turn me in. Go ahead. If you're such a pillar of courage, march over to justice and tell them I shot the president. Tell them about the election rigging. Tell them about everything. Do it! Except you can't, can you? Because, just like me, you know confessing does more harm than good.
- Mellie Grant: Cyrus. If Fitz goes public with this divorce, I will go nuclear. I will walk out in front of the press, and I will explain to them that my marriage is over because while I was pregnant with his child, my husband was having an affair with Olivia Pope. I will leave him, and I will take his children with me. I will take every penny he has in the bank, and every dollar of political capital that he has in this town. I will court feminist groups and mothers groups and religious groups. I will bury him. And I will dance on his grave. And then I will run for office.
- Huck: We don't do revenge. We solve problems. So you can be Lindsay Dwyer and get revenge on Hollis, or you can be Quinn Perkins and move on with your life. You can't have your new life and also keep your old life. It doesn't work that way.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: [eulogizing Verna] We had a campaign stop in Vegas, and I can attest that getting her away from a poker table was the toughest negotiation I ever attempted. Mideast peace has nothing on Verna Thornton on a roll.
- [last lines]
- President Fitzgerald Grant: Do you love me? Enough to to be on my side? No matter what happens What I've done.
- Mellie Grant: I have never left your side. You left mine, but I never left yours. And, yes, I do love you. No matter what. I have always loved you. No matter what.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: Then we're in this together, okay? We *have* to be in this together. 'Cause I don't have anybody else. I don't You're all I have.
- Mellie Grant: It's you and me.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: It's you and me.
