- Cyrus Beene: I just got back in the inner circle, Liv. He's listening again. And all I asked you for was a simple denial.
- Olivia Pope: Murray Randall is not my client. The President is not my client.
- Cyrus Beene: You're doing this because he's anti-choice?
- Olivia Pope: I'm apolitical. You know that.
- Cyrus Beene: Is your vagina apolitical?
- Olivia Pope: Good-bye, Cy.
- Olivia Pope: Is he a good dad?
- Annie Stanner: He is a great dad.
- Olivia Pope: You did what you thought was best at the time. Even if it was wrong, you thought it was best. You can't change the choice you made. All you can do is not let it ruin you. And what if he never forgives me? Then you're going to have to learn to forgive yourself.
- Annie Stanner: That sounds lonely.
- Olivia Pope: It is.
- [first lines]
- Annie Stanner: Mom, I'm starving.
- Sarah Stanner: I think daddy ordered some pizza.
- Annie Stanner: Ham and pineapple?
- Sarah Stanner: Phil, the wireless is down again.
- Phil Stanner: Yeah, it's been acting funny all night. Emmett, set the table, would you?
- Annie Stanner: Dad, ham and pineapple?
- Sarah Stanner: I have to look at this proposal before the west coast goes down.
- Phil Stanner: Try turning it off and turning it on.
- Annie Stanner: Dad?
- Phil Stanner: What?
- Annie Stanner: What'd you get on the pizza?
- Emmett Stanner: Ham and pineapple's gross.
- Annie Stanner: It's Hawaiian! Insult their culture, why don't you?
- Phil Stanner: Hey. I got pepperoni. Everybody's happy.
- Annie Stanner: Ew, gross!
- Phil Stanner: See what I deal with?
- Mellie Grant: You know as well as I do that once Olivia gets her claws in him again, it will be back to divorce and taking us all down.
- Cyrus Beene: Here's what I know. I know that he hasn't mentioned the word "divorce" in almost a year. I know that getting involved in your messy little love triangle has never gotten me anywhere. And I also know that I just saved him a major public embarrassment. Which, after the hostage crisis and your unfortunate conference call fiasco, means that while you may be wandering out in the White House version of a Siberian work camp, I'm curled up by the fire inside. Now, if you'll excuse me, the President is waiting For me...
- Annie Stanner: Have a drink with me. Drink the damn wine.
- Olivia Pope: Mmm.
- [hoists the bottle to her mouth]
- Olivia Pope: This is A $300 bottle of wine!
- Olivia Pope: You let him be her dad.
- Annie Stanner: I let him be her dad. Y-you think the only one that's gonna suffer is you. You get a twinge on father's day, you suck it up, you tell yourself, okay, this is the price I'm paying. This is the cost. But it's not. There's a much larger bill, and it comes due. And suddenly Olivia Pope is in your living room.
- Harrison Wright: Too bad you don't sign a morality clause before you get married - not that it would have saved those two anyway.
- Abby Whelan: Why do you assume their marriage is over?
- Harrison Wright: The way I see it, marriage is a partnership. You add kids, it's a job. You think he's gonna be able to work with her, be a team with her after what she did to him?
- Abby Whelan: I work with you after what you did to me. You basically tanked me and David.
- Harrison Wright: Abby, I'm sorry about that. You know how sorry I am about that.
- Abby Whelan: It's fine. That's my point. People get betrayed, people betray. You deal with it and you move on. If it's a partnership, if it's a job, you move on.
- Harrison Wright: Abby, I will apologize every single day if that'll make things better.
- Abby Whelan: I'm not mad, Harrison. I'm not.
- Harrison Wright: But you're different. With me. I mean, you're the exact same, but you're completely different.
- Abby Whelan: I'm still me. We're still us. I'm just... I now live in a world where I know that you're a gladiator first, and a person second. That's okay. Because I can do that, too. I can be a person second. I just... Before, I just didn't know that's what we were doing with each other, is all. We're good.
- Grayden Osborne: [answering the phone] Did you send it?
- Clerk: Just now.
- Grayden Osborne: I'll take a look. Thanks.
