Quotes 

• Rowan Pope : There is, incidentally, a point. If there are no more white hats, if the deck is always stacked, and if everyone you love is a monster, there is, in fact, someone worth saving.

  Olivia Pope : Who?

  Rowan Pope : Everyone! Everyone is worth saving! Even the monsters, even the demons. Everyone is worth saving. In the face of darkness, you drag everyone into the light. That is the point. At least, I like to think that is the point of you.

• David Rosen : So exposing Jake, that's a death wish. But taking down the entire organization, that's something within my reach? Me, David Rosen, and my army of one?

  Olivia Pope : Army of two. We'll do it together. Brick by brick, we'll tear that building down until there's nothing left but a hole in the ground. To do that, though, we need to be patient. Patient and alive. So instead of standing alone and turning this into a suicide mission, stand with me and turn this into a cause. Lose this battle so we can win the war.

• Olivia Pope : You told me you would be different.

  Jake Ballard : I *am* different.

  Olivia Pope : No! No! Fitz gave you the keys to this office and immediately you became my father!

  Jake Ballard : I am different! Because when something awful needed to be done, I did not pull some poor, broken soldier out of a hole and make him do something that would give him nightmares for the rest of his life. I did that awful thing myself. James Novak died in a carjacking. Accept that and the world keeps spinning.

  Olivia Pope : And if I don't?

  Jake Ballard : Bad things happen to good people all the time.

• Olivia Pope : [about B613]  Brick by brick, we'll tear that building down until there's nothing left but a hole in the ground. To do that, though, we need to be patient patient and alive. So instead of standing alone and turning this into a suicide mission, stand with me and turn this into a cause. Lose this battle so we can win the war.
