• Olivia Pope : What do you mean about the client? "This isn't the kind of client you want to talk about on the phone, because of NSA surveillance."

  Huck : Oh, yeah, we definitely do not want anyone at the NSA to hear about this.

  Olivia Pope : Why? Who's the client?

  Huck : The head of the NSA.

• Olivia Pope : [handing back her draft manuscript]  You can publish this, or you can write a real book that tells the American people who you are, what you've been through, what you think about, what you've been through. A book that is truthful. A book that is hard. This book was easy to write and easy to forget. The book you need to write will be hard, but people will remember it. That book will help make you president.

  Mellie Grant : I want to write that book.
