- Detective: [watching from his car] Looks like she's headed into some kind of medical plaza.
- Abby Whelan: [talking to the president in the Oval Office] Lillian Forrester is pregnant, which explains why she hasn't been working out as much in the mornings. And it also explains why she's made three incognito visits to a medical center, which houses, count them, 7 OB/GYN doctors.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: You're following her?
- Abby Whelan: You made that my job when you started dating her, and now that you've knocked her up...
- President Fitzgerald Grant: You're sure about this?
- Abby Whelan: Of course I'm sure. You think I would just come in shooting from the hip on something of this magnitude? Move past the denial stage quickly so we can discuss how we're going to...
- [her phone bleeps]
- Abby Whelan: Oh, hmm.
- President Fitzgerald Grant: What?
- Abby Whelan: I, uh, false alarm. I was wrong. She's not pregnant.
- [her phone bleeps again]
- Abby Whelan: It's actually worse... much worse.
- Andrew Nichols: This is not an old grievance. This is a fresh frickin' wound, and I'm going to make them pay for it.
- Olivia Pope: Look, this is not the way. I assure you, Andrew. It is not the way, because this time, you're not just up against Fitz and Cyrus and Mellie. You are up against me, the bitch you left for dead.
- Rowan Pope: We will do your bidding. Listen in on Lillian. Say thank you.
- Olivia Pope: Thank you.
- Rowan Pope: When it fails, you'll be left with one option and one option only.
- Olivia Pope: I am not you, Dad. In my world, if someone's in your way, you out-think them. You don't *end* them. It's not who I am.
- Olivia Pope: There are people who are trying to kill you.
- Andrew Nichols: The only person who ever tried to kill me is him.
- Huck: I never tried to kill you. I *know* how to kill people.
- [moves toward him]
- Olivia Pope: Huck!
- Elizabeth North: [discussing blackmail] I'm in for my fair share.
- Cyrus Beene: My fair share $1.
- [peels off a single]
- President Fitzgerald Grant: *If* we pay him, how do we know he still won't talk?
- Abby Whelan: We don't hand over the money until Andrew signs a non-disclosure agreement.
- Elizabeth North: Fine. I'm in for $5 million.
- David Rosen: You have $5 million dollars?
- Elizabeth North: I've been a Republican my whole life.
- Abby Whelan: Liv is not paying her kidnapper. David and I don't have any money...
- Cyrus Beene: [dryly] You're Democrats.
- Andrew Nichols: You know what, on second thought, I don't think $10 million's going do it. Better make it 20. Billion.
- Olivia Pope: We're not going...
- Andrew Nichols: Come to think of it, I'd also like an apple pie - warmed up. Oh, and I'd also like my own horse. Not to ride, of course, but to watch you two gals clean the stable.
- [last lines]
- President Fitzgerald Grant: [speaking to the press] Andrew didn't believe himself to be exceptional. He believed that we are all, each and every one of us, capable of greatness. And it was this belief in our country and its people that made Andrew Nichols such a tremendous leader.
- Rowan Pope: [greeting Olivia at the front door] Welcome home.
- Abby Whelan: I'm a big dog, Liv. The biggest. A White House Monster. I chew them up, I spit them out, I own that place. What's the point of being a monster if you've got no teeth?
