David Rosen quotes from Scandal

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.

David

You can't threaten me like that.

Cyrus

Actually, I can. You see, when you know someone's pressure point, you can make them do just about anything.

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.

Susan

That was ... incredible.

David

What do you think their secret sauce is made out of?

Susan

Crack. I think it's made out of crack.

David

You would be an amazing President.

Susan

David, do you know why I was chosen to be VP? It wasn't because I am amazing. It's because Mellie Grant lacks character. She was picking her competition for the next Republican Primary, and instead of having the guts to go toe-to-toe with a worthy warrior for a true battle, she turned coward. She picked me. She picked someone useless, unthreatening, unpolished, unelectable. She picked a bug she can crush in one blow. I don't stand a chance in a primary against Mellie, so why would I put myself, my daughter, through the agony of a campaign? Why would I uproot us for months on end--

David

Don't you ever call yourself names in my presence again. You are not a bug. You are a warrior. You could win this. You could win, Susan. I really believe that.
