Scandal (TV Series)

Inside the Bubble (2014)

Scott Foley: Jake Ballard

Quotes 

• Jake Ballard : [turning down dinner date]  Y-you are not my girlfriend.

  Olivia Pope : I know that.

  Jake Ballard : If you were my girlfriend I would come and meet your dad, even your dad who threw me in a hole and tortured me. But you are not my girlfriend, so no.

• Jake Ballard : I'll give you however long it takes to pack up this sad, old house. And then you disappear quietly. You never contact Olivia again. You never get another chance to hurt her. Or you can stay, keep up this "Father knows best" routine, try to worm your way back into her life by roasting pork. But I don't know, I personally can't see her falling for your act anymore after I show her proof that you killed her best friend and the president's son. But listen, I know of this island. It's beautiful. Remote. Mosquitoes can be a bit of a nuisance, but I think you'll manage. The only unfortunate thing about your sudden departure is that I won't be standing over you when you die.

  Rowan Pope : [suddenly stabs into the table right between Jake's fingers]  Make you feel good, Ballard, putting the screws to me? Feeling a few inches taller now, hmm? Makes you feel like a real man. It's exhilarating, isn't it? Go ahead. Soak it up. Revel in it. Because trust me I will be the one standing over you when you die.
