Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Olivia Pope : [answering the door]  Hi.

  Jake Ballard : Hi.

  Olivia Pope : You're late.

  Jake Ballard : Sorry. Car trouble.

  Olivia Pope : I thought we could have some dinner and talk about how our days went.

  Jake Ballard : That sounds very normal.

  Olivia Pope : I'll start. Catherine Winslow was taken into custody...

  Rowan Pope : [Jake having sudden flashback of the dinner evening with her father]  I will be the one standing over you when you die.

  Olivia Pope : So, how was your day?

• Tom Larsen : With the parameters you have given me for the job, this is not an easy task, sir.

  Rowan Pope : Tom, look at me. Look at my face. Disappointment often turns to frustration, frustration turns to resentment, resentment turns to anger, anger to rage, rage to indifference. And once I am indifferent, well, I will have forgotten that you were ever one of my favorites, and I just may start wishing for your head, too.

• [last lines] 

  Rowan Pope : [in interrogation room]  Let me make something clear, Agent Larsen. There won't be one single person left on your side when you leave this room. You want me on your side. You *need* me on your side. And I will do all I can for you if you tell me right now what I need to hear. Who gave you the order?

  Tom Larsen : Please, I...

  Rowan Pope : Who gave you the order, soldier?

  Tom Larsen : Please...

  Rowan Pope : Who gave you the order to kill the president's son?

  Tom Larsen : Jake Ballard. Ballard gave me the order.

  Cyrus Beene : [standing behind the mirrored glass]  Sir?

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Do it.
