Scandal (TV Series)

Hunting Season (2012)

Jeff Perry: Cyrus Beene

Quotes 

• Cyrus Beene : Many a man has been undone by jealousy.

• Cyrus Beene : You're ticking, sir.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : What?

  Cyrus Beene : You're ticking. You know how I know you're ticking? Up until you saw this picture, you've been happy. Lately, you've been happy. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed it, not because of the happiness, but because It's been weird, like seeing a grandma in a bikini, or a democrat with a Bible. You're happy, but we both know that happy people are rarely actually happy, unless they're morons. You are a brilliant man, a Rhodes Scholar, and a PhD, which means you're acting happy, because she won't take your calls, and you won't admit that it bothers you. And God knows what else that goes on with the Shakespearean drama that is the women in your life. You're ticking, sir. You're a bomb stuffed in a Teddy bear, waiting to explode. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Stop it.

  Cyrus Beene : How do I defuse the bomb, sir?
