You can help by sitting on that chair and not moving. You're our client Quinn. Let us do our job.

Olivia

Mention me in your prayers this morning. I'll take all I can get.

Billy Chambers

I'm sorry if the girl you hired, the girl you mentored, the girl you brought in to save the day, your girl, fell in love with me. That must really eat at you, Cy.

Fitz

You tell me to go to war with Olivia Pope and then you spend the night with her. Are you out of your mind?

Cyrus

"What kind of a coward was I to marry her and not wait for you to show up?"

Fitz

"Stand here with me for one minute. Let's not go back in there or talk or think or,for one minute, we just stand here. I'm not the candidate and you're not the campaign fixer. We're just us. One minute, for one minute, just stand here with me."

Fitz

Olivia: "I've got a guy."
Fitz: "You've got a guy? Another guy? Hells angel? Mobster? A kind-hearted felon who owes you a favor?"
Olivia: "Technically he's on probation."

Fitz: "You don't sleep, you rip ties off innocent bystanders for me, you're killing yourself 24/7 to get me elected, and I don't even have your vote?"
Olivia: "You're going to have to earn it like any other candidate."

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

Quinn

Abby: "I'm not deranged. I'm just divorced."
Olivia: "So stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get out of my kitchen. Call my friend Stephen. He's fun!"
Abby: "Stop trying to get me laid. Oooh, maybe I'll buy a gun."

"I had a job, a paying job from which I took a leave of absence to do a favor for my friend Cyrus because I am good. I am brilliant. I would eat breathe and live Fitzgerald Grant every minute of every day. You would be lucky to have me."

Olivia

Cyrus: "Let's be clear about something. I run a sausage factory."
Fitz: "Which makes me...sausage?"
Cyrus: "Handsome, highly qualified, smart, idealistic and energetic sausage. The stumping, electrifying speeches, baby kissing--that's all you. The nitty-gritty, morally bankrupt, back alley brawling rest of the game, that's me--it's filthy and thankless and it's my hallelujah, heroin, and reason to breathe and you--you don't have half the stomach for it."

Scandal Season 1 Quotes

Harrison: I'm not a baby lawyer. I'm a gladiator in a suit. Because that's what you are when you work for Olivia. You're a gladitor in a suit. You want to be a gladiator in a suit. You gotta say it.
Quinn: I want to be a gladiator in a suit.

Quinn, this is not a blind date. On blind dates I like to buy a woman dinner because it makes her more likely to sleep with me or give me a second date. When I buy you dinner, you'll know I'm interested.
