Olivia: The fish rots from the head.
Fitz: What?
Olivia: Your boys in the Secret Service, they’re taking their cues from you because you’re the head of the fish. Reckless, negligent, selfish.

Olivia: I hate you.
Fitz: I know.
Olivia: Huck, look at me.
Huck: This should've been my day, Liv. I should've had some peace.
[to Jake] I need to go back to doing what worked. Eyes straight ahead. No looing around corners. No peeping in shadows. No asking questions. No stepping outside the lines. I need to be a good girl.
[to Fitz] You can't vet your jokes. You're not funny.
