Quotes 

• Cyrus Beene : You're not welcome here.

  Rowan Pope : If I only went where I was welcome, I'd never leave the house.

  Cyrus Beene : Go on, get to it. Make your idle threat.

• Francisco Vargas : So, what do you think about this Admiral Jake Ballard? Eli Pope was pushing him at that donor meeting, and the more I look, the more I think he might actually be a decent Vice President. Thought I'd run it by you, get your take.

  Cyrus Beene : My take?

  Francisco Vargas : You've always got one.

  Cyrus Beene : [wild-eyed and embittered]  My take my take my take is that he's a soulless, dead-eyed monster who murdered the love of my life in cold blood. My take is that Jake Ballard is a traitor to the nation I've spent my life loving and serving. My take is that Jake Ballard is Moloch, Abaddon, Leviathan, a serpent coiled at the feet of his master Satan himself.

  [then blankly staring off in the distance] 

  Francisco Vargas : Cyrus? What do you think about Jake Ballard for VP?

  Cyrus Beene : [snapping out of his daydream]  I think he'd be great.

• Cyrus Beene : [to Olivia]  This election should be you and me competing for the Oval. Student versus master, a fair fight. Don't you want that? You sure as hell should because the alternative is you've already lost.

• Cyrus Beene : The fact that we can sit here and talk about murder and not blink our eyes? I've never had that, not with anyone. This the truest, most honest relationship I've ever had. And that's worth far more to me than a man who can pack a lunchbox.

• Cyrus Beene : This was a mutually beneficial arrangement. We both got the vice presidents we wanted.

  Olivia Pope : I can still take you down.

  Cyrus Beene : How would you do that?

  Olivia Pope : One word: Harrisburg.

  Cyrus Beene : Two words: Andrew Nichols.
