Quotes
-
Olivia Pope : [laughing hysterically] They're all murderers, Reston, Sally, Fitz. The presidential debate, it's literally murderers row. No matter who gets elected, they're all murderers!
Cyrus Beene : Nobody's perfect.

Cyrus Beene : Let me fill in this paint-by-numbers picture for you, since you seem so unable. Sally Langston goes down for murder, and ma and pa kettle's hearts break, because how could the President not know that the First Lady and Chief of Staff covered it up using taxpayer money. But forget about the three of us going off to prison. Faith in government will be dead. People will stop paying their taxes. Economic systems, institutions that have lasted for centuries, will begin to falter while our enemies pounce on our crippled nation and hack away until the great American experiment is no more. Whatever issues I may have had with your predecessor, he would have taken care of this by now. No qualms, no questions, just action. I expect you to wisen up and do the same.
Jake Ballard : You're a mouse, Cyrus. A mouse on a wheel, thinking, truly believing, that "if I just run a little bit faster, I'll finally get to the cheese."You're small. And while I'd love to explain to you how the world really works, I don't have the time, and you won't understand.
