Gregg Henry: Hollis Doyle

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  BNC News Anchor Angela Raines : Oh, what a difference a week makes. After trailing his opponents in the first round of Republican primaries, Hollis Doyle has now taken the lead.

  Hollis Doyle : [responding to reporters on the street]  I'm giving America back to Americans. No more of these south-of-the-border types with their greedy little hands, or these shady fellas with mustaches looking to blow up our buildings. This is our country. I aim to keep it that way.

  Quinn Perkins : [in the office]  Look at them. It's like Throwback Thursday in there. A Gladiator reunion. This is good? This is so good.

  Huck : This is not good.

  Quinn Perkins : This is good. Let it be good.

  Huck : Can't let it be good if it's not good. And that is *not* good. That looks good, but that is *not* good. Trust me.

• Reporter Germain : So you didn't rape her?

  Hollis Doyle : Oh, Hollis loves him some women. And, boy, do women love them some Hollis. In all my years, not a one of them fillies ever needed an arm twist to roll in my hay.

• Aggressive Anchor : We're not just talking about free speech here. We're talking hate speech. The KKK. Will you disavow...

  Hollis Doyle : Looky here. Book and thoughts, they don't hurt people. - Well, maybe books. - But it's the politically-correct media elite that really hurts the people of this country. That's keeping all the money for their judgy, greedy, over-educated selves.

• Hollis Doyle : [on Sally's TV show]  They're running out of time. It's like being a 40-year-old woman without a husband. You don't say you're desperate, but you are. In fact, to show that ol' Hollis ain't got no hard feelings, I'm gonna say right here and right now that whichever one of them gals drops out first will be my Vice President.

  Sally Langston : You can't be serious.

  Hollis Doyle : I'm as serious as a fat kid on Halloween.

• Hollis Doyle : Classy piece of ass, that lady. Elevates us both.

  Olivia Pope : However, we do have some serious concerns about your message. It's exclusionary, and deeply offensive.

  Hollis Doyle : Oh, hell, you don't think I believe any of that racist crap I spew out there in the boonies, do you? I'm a businessman, Livvie. Just giving the customers what they want. And you thinking I'm some kind of deep-fried cross burner 'cause I'm from south of the Mason-Dixon ain't exactly open-minded, you don't mind me saying.
