“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

It's Olivia's job as a fixer to be smart. To be practical and unemotional. She makes the the smart move. In her office, the smart move is the only move that counts, but you know what? We don't work for Liv. I'm president of the United States. We work for the American people. The playbook is the constitution. In my office, it's not about doing the smart thing. It's about doing the right thing.

David

This isn't a normal trial, Mr. President. It's a political trial. Congress is prosecutor and judge and jury. They decide what an impeachable offense is, and they decide if you've committed one. If you survive these hearings, you're still president. If you don't, you're not. You need to talk to a lawyer.

Edison

If you want me to help you, you're gonna be honest with me. You're gonna admit to my face that you were never in love with me, that you never had any intention of marrying me, that you tried to make a fool of me for seeing you as exactly what you are. A criminal, a whore, an idiot, and a liar. You want me to lie? You owe me the truth.

And what about getting involved with the president in the first place? Do you regret that?

Olivia

I wish I never laid eyes on him.

It's good to have you back, Cy.

Cyrus

I serve at the pleasure of the President. The honor is all mine.

Abby

If you take the stand, you could end up going to jail.

Olivia

And if I get married? What in the hell do you think this is?

You know how embarrassing that was? How awkward I felt asking my valets to scatter rose petals everywhere? Telling them to light all these damn candles? Can you honestly stand there and tell me that you think that I actually wanted to do this? Nobody wants to do this! No man ever wants to do this. Of course no man ever wants to do this.

Olivia

So why did you do it?

Because I love you. Because you are what I want. But obviously, you don't feel the same.

Mellie

You are not my enemy. You are my freedom. You are my white knight. You are my challenger, my push to greatness, my savior. I was lost, but now I'm found. I was blind, but now I see. You are gonna make me President of the United States.

Jake

You just let a murderer out of prison, not for the good of the Republic, but because you wanted to. Because it personally served you and I don't see any impeachment hearings and I don't see a wedding ring on that finger. You are Rowan's greatest achievement. You have become exactly the woman he raised you to be. Power hungry, entitled, dangerous, and the beauty of it is you don't even know it.

This. This isn't you. You're a weasly little troll, and I don't like you, and I don't respect you, and I think you're pathetic.

David

Is there a point here, or...

But you believe in the law. I believe you believe in the law. And instead of following the law, you're just doing the bidding of that sweaty, red-faced monster who stole my job. That man is contemptible.

Olivia

Cyrus, Fitz and I together... we have an actual relationship. This is what a couple looks like.

Cyrus

You have the Oval. This is what power looks like. He's not the President anymore, Olivia. You are.

Cyrus

We're living in a new world, Red. A world where Olivia Pope is judge, jury, and executioner. She has his world, our world hoisted on her shoulders. That is a fact. There's no changing it.

Rowan

As long as I am alive, I will do my best to make sure that you are protected, but in the event of my death I have already given you everything you need to survive. I hope you know. I did my best for you Olivia. I take tremendous pride in who you have become.

Olivia

I believe him. My gut says he is telling the truth.

Jake

Of course you do. Otherwise you'd just be a fool with daddy issues.

Marcus

Everybody loves a good holiday party, right? What'd you guys do last year?

Quinn

We passed around a bottle of vodka on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. And then we went to work because that's what Gladiators do.

Marcus

Bah, humbug.
