Bellamy Young: Mellie Grant

Quotes 

• President Fitzgerald Grant : [after interjecting her favorite agenda at a news conference]  You're not the president! You don't weigh in on foreign policy. Your opinion doesn't matter! You are the first lady. Your job is to plant gardens and decorate rooms and let them blog about your clothes. You're ornamental, not functional. So don't come into the oval and try to use your brain, because no one cares.

  Mellie Grant : You always did know just the right way to hurt me.

• [first lines] 

  Mellie Grant : Well, I was thinking yellow, but if it's a boy, the press will make an issue of a boy with a yellow nursery. So we could do primary colors. Red is strong, patriotic. Fitz, are you listening?

  President Fitzgerald Grant : [coming away from the window]  What?

  Mellie Grant : I think Kimberly Mitchell will like red. DNC's logo for America's baby is red. A few of the other networks are going with blue, but that's just foolish until we reveal the sex of the baby. I should've taken Martha Stewart up on her offer to decorate the nursery.
