Quotes
-
Francesca Hunter : [narrating her biography special] Eli Pope grew up an orphan on the mean streets of Detroit, but envisioned something more. He worked three jobs to put himself through college, eventually earning his PhD in paleontology. He married Maya, a young secretary, and they had Olivia. They were living the American dream. That dream was shattered when Maya was tragically killed in a plane crash. Olivia was just 12 at the time. Now a single father, Eli Pope sent Olivia to Surval Montreaux, an elite Swiss boarding school whose powerful alumni include eight of the world's top billionaires. He once told a colleague that he was on a quest to do the impossible: raise an African-American girl who felt fully entitled to own the world as much as any white man.

Senator Linda Moskowitz : It's late, Mellie.
Mellie Grant : I know. I take it you've seen the news. That's why I called you here because I wanted to talk to you. About impeaching my husband.
Francesca Hunter : [cut to TV show] I'm Francesca Hunter, and tonight we are, as always, on the hunt.
