Quotes 

• President Fitzgerald Grant : I have dealt with drunk Mellie, bad-hygiene Mellie... No, wait, I got it, smelly Mellie. I have dealt with drunk Mellie, and smellie Mellie, and screw-everything-to-hell Mellie, and cry-baby Mellie, and eat-everything-that's-not-nailed-down Mellie, and I have not complained. But I will not put up with whatever righteous history-rewriting Mellie you have going on right here, right now. This is not your family. You are not the mother Not since Jerry died. Since Jerry died you have abdicated your role. You have mothered no one. You hold nothing together. You pick up no pieces. You know how I know this? Because baby Teddy thinks his mother is nanny Jen. And Karen spent last night in a threesome with two guys doing a move on her they like to call Eiffel Towering! You know how I know that? I saw the sex tape they made! So you should be damn glad she called Olivia, because Olivia Pope is fixing this mess, this mess that you made. This mess that we made. Look, I know that I share some guilt in all of this. But you want to know the difference between you and me? All day, every day, I am running a country - I am grieving for the loss of my son - but I am also running a country. All day, every day, you are sitting around in booties and a dirty robe eating chips and getting drunk at 11:00AM!

  Mellie Grant : A sex tape?

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Yeah.

  Mellie Grant : She takes after her daddy then, doesn't she?

• Karen Grant : Mom. Hey, um, have you seen my my Your phone?

  Mellie Grant : Yes, I've seen it. I have also seen the film that you made with your friends. Are they your friends? Do you call them friends when you don't even know their names? But, then, how can they not be friends when they have already had their body parts inside you?

• Mellie Grant : [to her daughter]  Like it or not, you are the famous child of the most famous man on earth. And it may not be fair. And it may not be right. And it's definitely sexist. If you were a boy, they'd be giving you high-fives. But you're not. So your knees are gonna have to stay together.
