Scandal (TV Series)

Where the Sun Don't Shine (2014)

Joe Morton: Rowan Pope

Quotes 

• Rowan Pope : I don't get sentimental about many things. Sentimentality is a weakness. But despite the many ways that family can hurt you and manipulate you and deny the very fact that their success is a product of yours, it is impossible to wipe away the pleasant memories, no matter how hard one tries.

• Olivia Pope : You're a sick, lonely man who only knows how to lie and call it love.

  Rowan Pope : Could you be more ungrateful? You're my flesh. There would be no Olivia Pope if not for me. As difficult as it is to admit, I have failed as a father. And it saddens me because I bled and toiled and allowed myself to be hated, all for your protection, all so that you could believe that you were truly special. But instead of gratitude, I get scorn, ridicule, mockery. And worst of all a daughter who sends in her clan of good old boys to kill me, your own blood, every chance you get! It is your life that is sad. It is you who cannot be normal. It is you who have no comprehension of love. So, what? Your stomach turns every time you look at me? Well, let me be the one to break it to you, Olivia you are simply looking in the mirror.
