James quotes from Scandal

James

You control everything. Which is precisely why I want to kill you... and have sex with you at the same time.

James

My husband's a monster, David. He's brilliant, and egomaniacal, and has done more to thwart the rule of law than you and I will ever know. He's a monster. And he's powerful. And he thinks he doesn't have a weakness. But he does. Me. And I will do whatever it takes, stand on the podium, play the good soldier, sleep beside him for as long as it takes, to bring that monster down.

James

He doesn't work on Sunday unless there's a war. Is there a war?

Olivia

Somewhere in the world, there's always a war.

James

When my husband's dead, I'm blaming you.

Cyrus

A baby was born at County General this evening at 5:42 p.m. A girl. Five pounds, eleven ounces. She's ours. She's our daughter. We can bring her home in a week if you say yes.

James

You stole a baby?

Cyrus

I did not...

James

You bought a baby?

Cyrus

I pulled some strings and got us to the front of the line. It wasn't that hard, just a well-placed phone call, which is wrong. Very wrong. But like I said, I'm a Republican overlord and your dream is a baby, so... and now you're thinking "Why now?" when I didn't want a baby before. Why now? Someone shot my best friend. He's lying in a hospital bed dying. Which makes me denying us a chance to start a family seem ludicrous. So there's a baby girl in County General, and if you say yes, in one week, she could be our daughter. We could be her fathers. If you say yes.

James

Yes.

James

Therapy requires telling the truth, Cy. And you don't tell the truth.

Cyrus

You wanted to know who I am? This is who I am. Defiance is who I am. This is me. This is who you married. This is who you love. You made a choice. You did this. This is the man you are. And guess what? I love you anyway. Because that is the man I am.
