Olivia: I can still take you down.
Cyrus: And how would you do that?
Olivia: One word: Harrisburg.
Cyrus: Two words: Andrew Nichols.

I've gone from being his bitch to yours.

Jake

Mediocrity is not an option for me. I don't want that and neither should you.

Olivia

The fact that we can sit here and talk about murder and not blink our eyes, I've never had that, not with anyone. This is the truest, most honest relationship I've ever had.

Cyrus

I got here because I managed to escape you, like Liv managed to escape you.

Mellie

When you're running, you talk about how great you are. When I'm running for office, you talk about how great you are. Is there a scenario where you don't talk about how great you are?

Mellie

This election should be you and me competing for the Oval. Student versus master. A fair fight. Don't you want that? You sure as hell should because the alternative is you've already lost.

Cyrus

I’m going to vote for Frankie Vargas and I have a Golden Retriever at home named Barry Goldwater.

Liz

If I only went where I was welcomed I'd never leave the house.

Rowan

I did dabble in darkness for the last decade or so but then I met Frankie. Let me tell you Rosen, he’s once in a life time. He wants to make the world a better place. Actually make the world a better place.

Cyrus

What does the dark lord master Cyrus Beene want in return for this?

David

Move away from my door.

Olivia

Scandal Season 5 Quotes

[To Mellie] You don't matter to me. And now you also don't matter to the most powerful man on the face of the Earth.

Liz

[to Mellie] First, let's be clear. You did not do anything for me. You did that for you. You only ever do anything for your own benefit. Second, you didn't take me in. I was your prisoner. I was your puppet. I was your bitch. Third, my payment was that I got you elected. You are sitting in that chair, in this office, a United States Senator, because of me. That is how I repaid you. Fourth, one can only be betrayed if there is loyalty first. I was never loyal to you and you were never loyal to me. I don't think you've ever been loyal to anyone.

Liz
