Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Olivia Pope : "The Liberty Report" with Sally Langston.

  Sally Langston : Two gifts have arrived, addressed to you Lovers of Liberty. The first gift Hollis Doyle. The Texas truth-teller is throwing his hat into the ring. To which I say yee-haw! Saddle up, little doggie. The second gift? Well, yours truly has agreed to host the first Republican debate, a duty I take very seriously, for debates mean setting aside petty infighting between the candidates, and putting the lofty concerns of the voters and the republic above all.

• Olivia Pope : Edison, you don't want him anywhere near you.

  Edison Davis : You know many things, Olivia. But here's something that you may not know. The Senate is a gilded cage a place of great comfort and wonderful perks, where you think that you're making a difference, but you're not. It's just you and 99 others grimly reminding yourselves every day that the only way out of this, the only way to make your mark, is to be President.

  Olivia Pope : You're getting into bed with a monster.

  Edison Davis : Correction, I'm getting into bed with a monster's father.
