Mellie: I don't want to go.
Fitz: We can't always get what we want, can we?
Fitz: What's the problem?
Mellie: I just don't want to go. I'm sick of smiling. I'm sick of acting like we're happy. I just don't want to go.
Fitz: Is it because she's gonna be there? Olivia? She got cleared by security an hour ago which I'm sure you know. Now suddenly you forced me to have this big party and you don't want to go because you're afraid of my mistress? Let me give you a fun fact. She's not my mistress anymore. So buck up. You won.

Hollis: Exceed it. I'm getting tired of reminding. You owe me.

Edison: Honesty isn't a strategy, Olivia.
Olivia: Saying 'honesty isn't a strategy,' is a strategy.
Edison: This is who I am.
Olivia: I know, and it's refreshing and bracing and very Jimmy Stewart.
Fitz: I thought I said I didn't want a big party?
