If your whore had died today brave and strong, protecting a Congressman inside the Capitol with a nation watching, honey, the nails, the wood, the cross you would build and hammer her on, the worship you would feel for the rest of your days down on your knees praying to Saint Olivia Pope. That would be...I'd lose. Our little war. I'd lose.

Mellie

Fitz: Olivia Pope being blown to bits? That's your dream isn't it?
Mellie: Oh, no. That's my nightmare.

Fitz: You're drunk.
Mellie: That's impossible. A lady never gets drunk.
Fitz: You're drunk, Mellie.

Cyrus: Now you listen to me.
David: No, you listen to me. I may not have the Cytron card anymore, but I do have my conscience. And there's a hell of a lot of noise I can make if I don't think you're worthy of the moral sacrifice I made.

[to Olivia] Call her old fashioned, but my boss, the Attorney General, like totally hates it when I aid and abet terrorists.

David

[to Olivia] Baby Huck's choking.

Abby

[to Fitz] We will now all do our level best to not blow her up, but you cannot call Olivia because there is no way in hell I'm allowing the two of you to share a headline for the third week running.

Cyrus

What's it going to be? Because I'm about to go on live television and I need to know what to say. How Presidential are my balls now, Cy?

Fitz

Quinn, I know I've taught you lots of things but you should try to be less like me. You should be less like me. And more like Liv.

Huck

Quinn: I hacked into Liv's email.
Huck: Why?
Quinn: Because I can.

Cyrus: You're evil.
Mellie: You're welcome.

You need to grow some Presidential-sized balls.

Cyrus

Scandal Season 3 Quotes

Olivia: You shouldn't be here?
David: Why? Because I'm the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and may be asked to investigate the President's affair with you? I left that hat at the door.

[to Olivia] I am a monster, but honey, I am your monster.

Cyrus
