Edison quotes from Scandal

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.

Edison

I took an oath to do the exact opposite of what you're asking me to do.

Olivia

You always did put your career above all.

Edison

Takes one to know one.

Edison

I can stop dropping by, I can stop calling, I can stop asking. But you never tell me to stop.

Olivia

Edison, I don't want you to stop. I want you to keep asking. But I'm not ready to say yes.

Edison

Olivia, if that letter from President Grant was forged, there will be joint congressional hearings and letters of impeachment. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will turn the Senate chamber into a courtroom, and you will be the star witness for the prosecution. Forging that letter, or helping whoever did, would be staging a coup. It is an act of domestic terrorism.

Olivia

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Edison

I am the leader of the Senate. If my job description requires, I won't hesitate to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. And guess what? I make the law. So you talk it over with whomever you need to talk it over with and you let me know when the President is ready to see me.

Olivia

Goodbye, Edison.
