Quotes 

• Jake Ballard : You didn't think about the body count you'd rack up when you let a mass murderer and his crazy sidekick out of prison?

  Olivia Pope : Jake, if I had known, if I had thought for even a second...

  Jake Ballard : The woman I loved killed the woman I used to love, or... the woman I used to love killed the woman I love! I can't figure it out.

• Janet Holland : I graduated college in 1973. Do you know how many women in this country had a college degree in 1973?

  Olivia Pope : I don't.

  Janet Holland : 8.5%. People were surprised I'd even want to. My father said I was pretending to be a man. My mother said she hoped I wouldn't scare off a good husband. I'm sorry. Oh, don't be. It was the times.

• Olivia Pope : Cyrus he's happy. He's content.

  Cyrus Beene : He was never meant to be happy. Happy, content men don't run the world, which is why he is not running the world. He does whatever you say, without question. You have pulled off a clean, bloodless coup in the United States of America, and no one is the wiser. That is one for the history books.

  Olivia Pope : I know this is difficult for you, because you seem to be so unfamiliar with how humans behave, but Cyrus, Fitz and I together, we have an actual relationship. This is what a couple looks like.

  Olivia Pope : Have David Rosen call the governor of Nevada. Maybe he doesn't want to be re-elected. Maybe he wants to be investigated.
