$5 million to kill the President. Wow, that's like a bargain.

Quinn

Olivia: The guilt. It was eating me alive. That white hat was starting to feel like it was a lie.
Harrison: Hey. That white hat will always belong on your head.

[to Cyrus] You're supposed to hate the woman. Isn't that the standard trope? The seductress, the slut, the tramp who led your man astray. And I do. I loathe Olivia Pope. But it's a boring sort of hate. Uninteresting, cliche'. It's hard to even get my back into it. But...Fitz? I found him. I cleaned him up after that monster who raised him damaged his spirit. I am the one who told him he was someone. I am the one who cheered him on and listened to him ramble about his hopes and his dreams. I am the one who focused him. I did all the work. I did all the work and now she gets to reap the benefits? No. No, I made him. He exists because I say he exists.

Mellie

Get your house in order, Cyrus. And hire a lawyer. A good one.

Olivia

[to Olivia] This doesn't make us even. Not even close. And it won't stop me from coming after you, guns blazing, both barrels, if it looks, as I strongly suspect, that you were involved in illegal activity, or worse, if you try to screw me again. In that case, God help you.

David

[to Olivia] Cyrus Beene is not in this circle, our circle. Cyrus is in my circle.

Huck

Huck: Hollis Doyle has to go. I can take care of that for you if you want.
Olivia: Huck, you have to stop killing people.
Huck: Why? It solves the problem.

Whatever's wrong. We'll fix it. Just say you'll wait for me. Liv, say you'll wait for me.

Fitz

[to Cyrus] We should never have done it. And now we're the bad guys, and I don't know how to fix that. And I have been running and running to stay ahead of it and I'm tired and I don't know what to do next.

Olivia

[to Cyrus] Here's what's great about having someone attempt to assassinate you. You're being rushed somewhere on a gurney, and doctors are yelling, and blood is pouring out of you, and you could die. And you suddenly stop being afraid, of anything, or anyone. And when you don't die, when you miraculously live, you realize that you have nothing to lose and no time to waste.
