Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Edison Davis : I'm not going to apologize. I said what had to be said.

  Rowan Pope : No apologies necessary, son. I just need to confirm what I already know. That speech was Olivia's idea. She saved you and beat me. Hmm? You're not crafty enough to execute that move on your own.

  Edison Davis : You can't hurt me.

  Rowan Pope : Luckily, I don't have to.

  Edison Davis : Listen, I am nobody's Fool.

  Jake Ballard : [pins Edison's head to his desk]  I'm gonna allow you to live because Rowan may need you in the future. I would have made a fantastic Vice President. You really missed out. We would have had some fun times.

  [Rowan walks out of the room] 

  Jake Ballard : [whispering now]  Tell Liv I need her help. Tell her I want to escape. Tell her I'm chasing the sun.

• Rowan Pope : [to Edison]  You gon' be our first black president. And you're gonna get there by making everyone forget that you are black. You're going to wait - your time will come. When you are in the Oval, you can say whatever you want. Until then, stand still and hope nobody notices that this ain't no tan.

• Olivia Pope : Move away from my door.

  Rowan Pope : You seem to believe that there is some finality to our relationship. There is not. I am your father. Even when I'm dead and buried, you are me.
