What have I told you Olivia? Against me, you will never win.
Rowan
This is funny. I mean, it's not funny, but it kind of is, I guess. You've saved my life multiple times and all I can do is sit here, hold your hand, and hope that you don't die. And I'm sorry, Jake. For all of this. You were right. We never should have left that island.
Olivia
Olivia: That's why you're calling? To ask for my advice about your wife?
Fitz: I want to hear what you think.
Olivia: What I think? I think you're supposed to be an optimist.
Some people have bark. Some people have bite. I have both.
Olivia
Abby: So Mellie Grant's run for Senate is legal because of misogyny. In this instance misogyny is our friend. Is that what you're saying?
David: No. No, I'm saying something less controversial and something less likely to get me stoned to death by my feminist sisters.
Jake, come on, make some noise for me. Come on. Oh, they got you. We let them get you.
Quinn
Marcus: I get to tell people I did the right thing. That's something.
Olivia: That's more than something. That's everything. That's what saves you in the end. You do the wrong thing then you're done. Not at first. It only feels like a misstep at first, a compromise, a concession to reality, a bad move well played. But at some point you're only going in that direction and by the time you realize how far down that path you are you're lost. Everything is unrecognizable. You are unrecognizable to yourself. You find yourself doing things you never thought you would do in ways you never thought you would do them to save things you never thought you would want to save. That's how you know you're done. You are not done.
Justice or your career. I can only get you one. So what do you want?
Olivia
[to Marcus] The mayor's wife is upstairs lying in a pool of blood while my team erases evidence of a crime scene so I'd say it takes a lot to surprise me because this is my job. This is what I do. Now you know what I'm about.
Olivia
I know you, because the apple does not fall far from the tree, Olivia, poison though it may be.
Rowan
[to Olivia] It is your friends who do not know you, but I do. You are a warrior -- never reckless, never naive. Too smart to let fear drive you. Precise, quiet, calculating, you will wait for the right time, you will look at all the possible outcomes, you will understand what needs to be done.
Rowan
David: Does this mean you're in?
Jake: I was never out, Rosen. But this means war, you know that, right? We're the good guys, but you won't always be able to tell. That's what it's going to take.
