- Elizabeth North: Goodbye, sweetie.
- [kissing her daughter]
- Elizabeth North: Have a great day.
- Dale: They'll be in high school before we know it.
- Elizabeth North: I need to time my drop-offs better.
- Dale: Yeah, I'm just saying things change. People change. Relationships change.
- Elizabeth North: Dale.
- Dale: Liz.
- Elizabeth North: Ever just a parent? Gun lobbyist badge ever come off? I have it covered.
- Dale: Well, you told me that you had David Rosen covered. And now, in three hours, Attorney General David Rosen is going to be in court defending gun-control legislation, which was pushed through by a Republican president elected with our money. So, no, in times like these, I sleep with my gun lobbyist badge.
- Jake Ballard: [turning down dinner date] Y-you are not my girlfriend.
- Olivia Pope: I know that.
- Jake Ballard: If you were my girlfriend I would come and meet your dad, even your dad who threw me in a hole and tortured me. But you are not my girlfriend, so no.
- Charlie: Being a superspy is freakin' lonely. I never used to care. It used to be fun. It used to be so good. It used to be better. Torture is a single man's game, right? Hacking up a corpse, that's something you do solo. But these days... Maybe it's the political climate. This president's all liberal and above board, There's less work. Or maybe it's I'm getting older. Maybe it was you. Being with you. But I wake up now, and I'm I'm frickin' lonely, Robin. Empty. Like there's a space in there. Hollow space. Crap I used to make fun of people for. Crap I used to shoot guys for. And I don't know what to You ever feel like that?
- Quinn Perkins: No. I have people. I don't get lonely because I have people.
- Quinn Perkins: Did you two seriously not notice that I have been gone for the last 24 hours? You know, I spent three whole months keeping tabs on this office. I went to see you every day at the computer store. I constantly checked in with Abby at the White House. I found you halfway across the world. I'm the one who made sure this place didn't die! And I go MIA for a whole day and nobody even bats an eye? That is unacceptable. That is how Harrison died. Because we weren't vigilant. We didn't pay attention. We didn't notice when things went bad. So when one of us goes missing for 24 hours, The other ones freakin' look for them!
- Jake Ballard: I'll give you however long it takes to pack up this sad, old house. And then you disappear quietly. You never contact Olivia again. You never get another chance to hurt her. Or you can stay, keep up this "Father knows best" routine, try to worm your way back into her life by roasting pork. But I don't know, I personally can't see her falling for your act anymore after I show her proof that you killed her best friend and the president's son. But listen, I know of this island. It's beautiful. Remote. Mosquitoes can be a bit of a nuisance, but I think you'll manage. The only unfortunate thing about your sudden departure is that I won't be standing over you when you die.
- Rowan Pope: [suddenly stabs into the table right between Jake's fingers] Make you feel good, Ballard, putting the screws to me? Feeling a few inches taller now, hmm? Makes you feel like a real man. It's exhilarating, isn't it? Go ahead. Soak it up. Revel in it. Because trust me I will be the one standing over you when you die.
