  • [last lines] 

    Olivia Pope : They said it was a mechanical failure - something they could never quite figure out how a plane could just fall out of the sky. That doesn't happen. That never happens. So they recalled the engine, but it turns out they didn't need to, because it wasn't the plane at all. Because what nobody knew it didn't crash. It was shot down, right out of the sky. Someone killed them, all 329 of them. They fell into the ocean. And they died. So I want you to answer the question. Where were you during Operation Remington?

    President Fitzgerald Grant : Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about.

    Olivia Pope : One of the bodies in the ocean was my mother. Do you still not know what I'm talking about? Fitz...

    President Fitzgerald Grant : I don't know what you're talking about.

    Olivia Pope : I was 12 when she died. I was 12.

  • Congresswoman Josephine Marcus : We've already got over $6 million and counting.

    Abby Whelan : $6 million might pay for the gas, but it sure as hell won't buy you the plane. You want to walk to Iowa

    Olivia Pope : You've done a great job mobilizing the grass roots, but you're getting pummeled by Reston's ads on the airwaves. And your post-debate spike in the polls It's nearly gone. It's time to respond with ads of your own Big media buys. Reston's already locked up the big donors. Then we unlock them. Those people out there working their tails off, along with the millions of people who have pledged their support one crumpled dollar at a time They believe in me because I'm not accountable to big money. You want to be mayor of Red Springs or Ralph Nader, turn your back on PAC money and large donations. You want to win Iowa or New Hampshire and become the party's nominee?

    Congresswoman Josephine Marcus : All right, line up the fat cats. Let's just get this over with.

  • Olivia Pope : Be careful.

    Jake Ballard : We're only digging up dirt on the most powerful man in the world. How dangerous could that possibly be?

  • Rowan Pope : Olivia, why are you calling?

    Olivia Pope : I have so many questions I want to ask you, but I'm afraid you'll kill my friends if I do. So, you know, let's just talk about the weather, or uh, how I can't form attachments to people because my mother is dead, and my father is that thing that goes bump in the night. Or... You pick a topic.

  • Olivia Pope : Ignoring the attacks on you, being likable all the time, does not get you elected President. You need to show your claws at some point. Show you have claws. You're too nice.

    Congresswoman Josephine Marcus : Nice got me this far.

    Olivia Pope : Nice got you a congressional seat in Montana. Nice doesn't get you President, unless you want to be President of Candy Land.

    Congresswoman Josephine Marcus : Listen, I know who I am, and I know what works with voters.

    Olivia Pope : You don't have any voters yet

    Congresswoman Josephine Marcus : Hey! I'm the one running for President here, okay, not you.

  • Cyrus Beene : My husband always said my big mouth was gonna get me in trouble someday.

    Olivia Pope : Or make you President.
