Scandal
Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCFavorite Jake Ballard Quotes
This was my call. I am protecting the Republic. I keep this country running. I do what needs to be done. I am Command.
Jake: That wasn't you handling me, that was us.
Olivia: I don't know what you expect me to say.
Jake: It's unfortunate. Life is unfortunate. Random. Coincidental. Bad things happen to good people all the time.
Olivia: No, you make bad things happen to good people.
[to Olivia] Let me be clear. You can ask a favor of me, but you cannot tell me how to do it, who to task, or anything remotely close to how to do my job because you have no idea how my world works.
Olivia: It's me. Everything that's happened, none of it would be happening if it weren't for me. My mother, my father, the man I love, an innocent boy dying, churches being blown up, you being thrown in the hole. The only common denominator is me. I'm at the center. I'm the eye of the storm.
Jake: So you're the devil, is that it? And this is your pity party?
Jake: Rosen, I killed three people right in front of you. I am not a good guy.
David: Deep down, I think you are.
Olivia: You want to stand in the sun with me.
Jake: I want us to stand in the sun together.
Olivia: How do I choose the box to bury my friend in?
Jake: There's no wrong choice. You just pick.
Jake: Tell me.
Olivia: I love him. Fitz. I love him. And I felt something with you last night and that feels like betrayal.
Jake: It feels like a first step.
[to Olivia] Tell me you felt it, too. Tell me I'm not crazy. Tell me you felt it, too.
Jake: Run away with me Liv, save me.
Olivia: Take advantage of me Jake.
Jake: I couldn't say no! I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States--
Olivia: Don't we all.
