Thursdays 9:00 PM on ABCScandal Quotes
Mellie: I came up with a list of men. Eligible bachelors. Prominent, smart. Pick one.
Olivia: Pick one?
Mellie: Any one of them, it's an equal opportunity list. Tall, short, black, white, Republican, Democrat. I don't care who, just pick one and start dating him. Publicly. So the everyone can stop thinking that you're screwing my husband. Smile, Olivia. The world is watching.
Olivia: Why are you doing this?
Mellie: Because I like it when my husband is the President. I worked very hard for it. I've done a great deal to get us here, and you are going to get him across the finish line. But you can't do that if people know what kind of person you really are. Cheers!
[to Cyrus] Don't patronize me like I'm some hysterical teenage girl at the beginning of my cycle.
Mellie
[to Quinn] The great thing about our line of work? Rock solid job stability! As long as people have to live together, someone's gonna pay to have someone else killed! Fact of life.
Charlie
What is currently happening is that President Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III has made an enemy, the worst kind of enemy, because I know all his secrets. I know where every body is buried, and the greatest weapon I can use against him calls me 'Dad.'
Rowan Pope
[to Olivia] You're skipping around in a field full of bombs and mistaking them for daisies.

Jake: I came to say good-bye.
Olivia: Jake--
Jake: I loved you. Whatever happens next, I want to make sure you know that I loved you. I love you.
[to James] I'm standing here in my underwear and without my soul and I'm asking you what happens now.
Cyrus
[to Quinn] Liv saves us and you betrayed her. You're not a gladiator anymore.
Huck
You're a boy. You've been coddled and cared for, pampered and hugged. For you it's always summertime and the living's easy. Daddy's rich and your mama's good looking! You're a Grant! You've got money in your blood. You are a boy. I am a man.
Rowan
We are the devil. I am actually the devil...you should have seen me handle it. There's a dead closeted hillbilly on the floor and there I am, 'give me your sin, Sally', without blinking. The devil is at the top of his game.
Cyrus
I get it. You just found out your mother isn't who you thought. You just got your happy memories of her taken from you. She's bad, and we don't know how bad, but that does not make your father the good guy. He is not a good guy, Liv. And Huck is about to go out there and look for him, try to save your father, try to save the man who manipulated him, who threw him in a hole until he was nearly driven out of his mind, and then stole everything that was important to him, and you say it's not my business, but Huck and I, we're in the same business, and your father? He is not our hero. He is our demon. And you're not the only one to lose your happy memories. So I speak from experience when I say maybe you cut Huck some slack.
Jake
