Quotes 

• Huck : It didn't come from Jake. He's the enemy. So where did you get it?

  Olivia Pope : My father.

  Huck : [abruptly walks out of the room] 

  David Rosen : I would have gone with "anonymous former government employee."

• Olivia Pope : You picked him, he's your guy, so too bad for you. He stays on the ticket. That's final. What else do you need?

  President Fitzgerald Grant : What else do I need? What else do I need?

  Olivia Pope : What else do you need? What service can I render for you today? Am I here to stroke your ego? Am I your cheerleader? Am I here to wipe your tears? Am I your nanny? Am I here to fight the bullies? Am I your bodyguard today? Maybe I'm here to make you feel good. Maybe I'm your dealer. Or maybe I'm here to make you feel hot and manly and ready so you're not jealous of your wife's boyfriend. Is that it? Am I your fluffer today, Fitz? Is that what I am? What service am I billing you for today?

• Jake Ballard : I miss you.

  Olivia Pope : Says the spider to the fly.

  Jake Ballard : No. I miss you.

  Olivia Pope : We can't be together because - you know - you kill my friends.

• Olivia Pope : How am I supposed to get anywhere near Jake's phone long enough to...

  Huck : I think you can find a way.

  Olivia Pope : Huck, no.

  Huck : Do you have any idea how many times you've asked me to do things that I didn't want to do? But I did them because you asked me to. B-613 took away my family, Liv, my life, my name. They destroyed me. And now we can do the same to them, which is what you said you wanted. Don't you want that anymore? We do what we have to do.

• Abby Whelan : Do you want to know what Olivia Pope would say?

  Olivia Pope : What would Olivia Pope say?

  Abby Whelan : You don't get to run. You're a gladiator. Gladiators don't run. They fight. They slay dragons. They wipe off the blood and stitch up their wounds, and they live to fight another day. You don't get to run.

• [last lines] 

  Olivia Pope : I know we haven't had a lot to celebrate around here in the last few months. Sometimes it seems the battles weren't winnable, or at least not worth the blood spilled fighting them. But then a moment like this comes around, and it makes you feel like it's all worth it, that we're finally stepping back into the light. We did this, people. We made this happen.

  Abby Whelan : Gladiators!

  David Rosen : Hear, hear.

  Jake Ballard : [busts in and pushes Olivia to the wall by her throat]  What the hell have you done?

  Olivia Pope : [choking]  I don't know what you're talking about.

  Jake Ballard : No? Then let me be the one who breaks it to you. You just killed the president!
