Abby Whelan quotes from Scandal

Abby

I cannot cry in the White House.

Olivia

You can cry if you want to.

Abby

Press secretaries can't cry! It's, like, a rule!

Abby

He's good at his job.

Cyrus

I didn't say he wasn't. You date him? Really, Red? That turns you on?

Mellie

I'm running for Senator of Virginia.

Abby

Well, that's...history making. Good for you. Good for Virginia, ma'am.

Cyrus

You think so, Red?

Huck

I pulled Michael's cell records, did a search for most-called numbers, came up with Phillip. Triangulated the cell phone towers to track him to the vicinity of his office servers and then hacked into their email. How did you find out?

Abby

I listened to all of Leo's voicemails while he was in the bathroom.

Huck

Well, that's one way to do it.

Olivia

Cyrus must be loving this.

Abby

He's like a stormchaser in a van hurling down the highway, face pressed up against the windshield, grinning wildly, waiting for everything to go to Hell and wanting to be there when it does.

Olivia

I've been in that van.

Abby

So Mellie Grant's run for Senate is legal because of misogyny. In this instance, misogyny is our friend. Is that what you're saying?

David

No. No, I'm saying something less controversial and something less likely to get me stoned to death by my feminist sisters.

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?
