Kerry Washington: Olivia Pope

Quotes 

• Olivia Pope : Huck, I need to know if info on B-613 goes public, how bad is it?

  Huck : Let's just say we did things, things that would make it hard for you to sing the national anthem and mean it. In the name of national security, we were the bad guys.

• Huck : [studying at music sheet for clues]  No matter how high-tech things get, analog's always the best way to go.

  Harrison Wright : What's it say?

  Huck : Well, this right here, that's "protect them."

  Olivia Pope : Protect who?

  Huck : Well, these are names.

  Olivia Pope : Names of who?

  Huck : Spies, I think.

  Quinn Perkins : Spies?

  Olivia Pope : How can you tell they're spies?

  Huck : Because this name here, that's me.

• Harrison Wright : The night I got arrested, you came and sat with me, in a holding cell, for hours. I owe you.

  Olivia Pope : It was my job.

  Harrison Wright : Don't insult me by calling me your job, because I'm not your job. I'm your family, I'm your gladiator, and that is not a job to me. That's who I am. And right now you need me, so No questions asked, no matter what. Whatever you need. Give me some marching orders, Liv.

  Edison Davis : [at her front door]  I have popcorn and wine for you, an Italian sub and a bottle of scotch for me, and and two movies. We can either watch Angelina Jolie with a gun, or Angelina Jolie with a different gun. Both are excellent. Or we go back to debating presidents. Invite me in. It's time. Because I'm a man, and I don't play games, and you and I are very good together. So so let me in now, or I walk away.

  Olivia Pope : [chokes up] 

  Edison Davis : Liv? Liv, are you okay?
