Debra Mooney: Verna Thornton

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Mellie Grant : I can't be here. I shouldn't be here. I am out of the White House. The press could see me. I am risking everything. Everything.

  Olivia Pope : We are all risking everything.

  Verna Thornton : Would you rather we met inside the White House? Does that feel less like a felony to you?

  Olivia Pope : Secret service is outside that door. Please do not shout the word "felony" in this room.

• Verna Thornton : Oh, crap. I can't bend over to put my damned shoes on. Stuff like this, like what we did... It never really goes away, does it? It's just one big, bloody hospital gown.

  Olivia Pope : [bending down to her shoes]  I prefer to think that anything can be fixed.

  Verna Thornton : Then you're a fool.
