- Rowan Pope: [entering her cell] Our daughter's been asking about you. I wish I could say they were innocent questions, such as trying to find out what lullabies you sang, or what cookies you made when she was sad. They're not. So tomorrow night when America is sleeping I'm putting you on a plane and taking you out of the country. It is not a vacation or even a change of scenery. The room you'll be occupying is much like the room you're in now, only further away and harder to find. Understand? Good.
- Maya Lewis: I want to see her.
- Rowan Pope: Excuse me?
- Maya Lewis: Olivia I want to see her. I want to see my daughter, and I want you to make it happen before I leave, before I travel to some god-forsaken room in some god-forsaken country to spend the rest of my god-forsaken life there.
- Rowan Pope: You know that's not possible.
- Maya Lewis: Then make it possible. I've been sitting in this cell for over 20 years, hiding in the bowels of our justice system. You have to give me something - one thing before you throw me out with the trash. Please.
- Rowan Pope: Sorry.
- Maya Lewis: Eli, please.
- Rowan Pope: I will see you tomorrow...
- [leaves the room]
- Maya Lewis: Eli. Eli!
- Harrison Wright: You going rogue on this makes getting your sister elected to the highest office in the land, a job that you hired us to do, that much harder! Guess what? She's a first-term congresswoman from a forgettable state. It doesn't need to be harder! So from now on, you are gonna mind your elders. You're gonna color inside the lines, and you're gonna do exactly what I say when I say to do it and not one second before. Am I clear?
- Candace Marcus: So are you here to babysit me now?
- Harrison Wright: Maybe if you're good I'll let you stay up past your bedtime.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: You know who I am, Liv. You know everything.
- Olivia Pope: Not everything.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: Everything I could legally tell you. You know who I am, and you're just this bundle of dirty little secrets.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: Your father has to be stopped. And I want you to know before I stop him. I want you to hear me when I say that I love you no matter what happens. Because I need answers. I need to know why I was ordered to shoot down that plane. And after I get those answers...
- Olivia Pope: Do what you have to do.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: You're sure? He's your father.
- Olivia Pope: He's the head of B-613. He knows what he signed up for. Do what you have to do. Because I'm not gonna stop until I have answers either.
- Cyrus Beene: You're worried about James cheating on me? That's oddly sweet.
- Mellie Grant: Once you open that door, Cyrus, you cannot close it again. It changes you. It changes everything.
- Mellie Grant: My husband's not your husband, Mellie.
- Congresswoman Josephine Marcus: How is what I did any different than what these people the people you wanted to hire do on an hourly basis?
- Harrison Wright: You got caught!
