Scandal (TV Series)

A Criminal, a Whore, an Idiot and a Liar (2013)

Norm Lewis: Edison Davis

Quotes 

• Edison Davis : I've been racking my brain trying to find a reason why you'd be stupid enough to willingly attempt to defraud the American people, and the only reason I can come up with for why you'd be in so deep is because you were his mistress.

  Olivia Pope : FIVE, that's sexist and insulting. You'd never suggest Scooter Libby was screwing Dick Cheney. FOUR, the lengths you're going to try to twist this into a conspiracy are cause for concern. You should speak to someone about that. THREE, the President is awake and talking, and the suggestion that he isn't is partisan political crap that I thought you had enough integrity to rise above. TWO, in the past three minutes, you have called me a criminal, a whore, an idiot, and a liar, so this is pretty much the last time we'll be speaking. So ONE, who I am, or am not screwing, what I am, or am not doing, is no longer any of your damn business.
