He might be pretty, but he’s not that pretty.

Lonnie

The sky is falling — literally falling!

Jake

You’re the bitch. You’re always someone’s bitch!

David

I did so because of you. All of you. The ones in charge, the ‘masters of the universe.’ White men, whose complacency — whose privilege — left this republic in a state of neglect.

Rowan

You need to give them Command, but that doesn’t mean you need to give them me.

Rowan

I’ve spent enough time helping people clean up their messes.

Olivia

President: The way I see it, all roads lead back to Amanda Tanner. She's saying we had an affair. She's saying she's carrying my child. Without her, there's nothing but that tape. And without her, that tape is just a guy who sounds vaguely like me. There's no proof. Nobody even takes that tape seriously without it being vouched for, which means our problem is Amanda Tanner and she's not our problem. She's a kid. Our real problem is Olivia Pope.
Cyrus: You realize--
President: I got into this job to help people, to change this country for the better. I am the President of the United States of America. It's time I acted like it.
Cyrus. Thank you, Mr. President.

President: Would it be so bad if all this ended?
First Lady: What?
President: I wanted to help people. That was the point. I got in this job to help people, not for the job. I could find better ways to affect change.
First Lady: What's going on? What happened?
President: Would it be so bad if this ended?
First Lady: Yes, it would be so bad if this ended. It would be catastrophic. Now pull yourself together, dammit, you've got a speech to give.

[to Olivia] You and I aren't friends anymore. Don't come here again.

Cyrus

David: So, who do you think killed her? See, I've got this nagging feeling you've got a pretty good idea. I know I give you a long leash on a lot of things and I like to because, despite my better judgment and all my protests to the contrary, I really do consider you a friend. But I can't look the other way here, not on this...I prosecute crime. I get the bad guys. So at some point, even with you I gotta draw the line. I've gotta do my job. I've gotta be the sheriff.
Olivia: The white hat looks good on you.

There isn't a person in this building who isn't willing to go to extremes for you.

First Lady

"You have a car, right? Because I can't date you if you don't have a car."
