Kerry Washington: Olivia Pope

Quotes 

• Cyrus Beene : It's not the worst move.

  Olivia Pope : It is absolutely the worst. It's a federal crime. It's treason. Forging the President's signature on a letter of reinstatement when he's not even conscious is Do you understand that we live in a democracy with laws and rules and civil discourse? This is not Nicaragua.

• Olivia Pope : Everyone. We have a new client.

  [pins up the president's picture] 

• Olivia Pope : [to Fitz's Secret Service agent]  We need an anecdote from a well-placed and unimpeachable inside source.

  Hal Rimbeau : I'm a terrible liar. I'm not your man, ma'am.

  Olivia Pope : No, it's not a lie. It's just a story. You've told a tall tale to a kid before, right, for fun?

  Hal Rimbeau : No, ma'am...

• Edison Davis : You all may have done a masterful job with the press and the American public, but Sally Langston is whispering to anyone who will listen that all is not right here in Camelot.

  Olivia Pope : Sally has a right to her opinion, but I'm not gonna dignify it with a response.

  Edison Davis : Olivia, if that letter from President Grant was forged, there will be joint Congressional hearings and letters of impeachment. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will turn the Senate Chamber into a courtroom, and you will be the star witness for the prosecution. Forging that letter, or helping whoever did forge that letter, is staging a coup. It's an act of domestic terrorism.

  Olivia Pope : You have no idea what you're talking about.

  Edison Davis : I am the leader of the Senate. If my job description requires, I won't hesitate to prosecute you to the full extent of the law. And guess what. I make the law. So you talk it over with whomever you need to talk it over with, and then you let me know when the President is ready to see me.

  Olivia Pope : [stepping forward with a steely eye]  Good-bye, Edison.

  Olivia Pope : [taking a call from Cyrus]  Hello?

  Cyrus Beene : Someone wants to talk to you...

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Hi.

  Olivia Pope : Hi!
