"Excellent work." "Now, how did we determine" "Mrs. Kovac's strength and overall fitness?" "Well, I refer you to page three in your information packets, where the surgeon general has brilliantly estimated" "Gretchen's body composition and muscular endurance." "[Door opens] Oh, hi, honey!" "Bill." "Margaret." "John." "Was there a cabinet meeting no one told me about?" "What?" "Sir, this is the First Lady's meeting," "The one she wanted, remember?" "Please, Fitz, have a seat." "[Chuckles]" "[Clears throat] Um, ma'am?" "I was just about to explain how John from the FBI will be an invaluable resource to Jeff's ongoing investigation." "Ma'am?" "Oh, yes." "Jeff." "Pardon me if I'm speaking out of turn, Mr. President," "But, um, well, you're right." "[Chuckles]" "Mrs. Kovac didn't kill her husband." "Two eyewitnesses came forward this morning." "They were there on the trail at the time of Mr. Kovac's death." "And, well, they confirmed that... that he fell." "So... you... you're right. [Clears throat]" "Well... that's wonderful news." "I..." "I have a... a soil report here that Doug from Agriculture was kind enough to put together." "Um, you can take... you can take it with you if... if you think it might be helpful." "[Sighs]" "You know what?" "Awful timing." "But, um, a meeting where the First Lady's expected just came up." "So I'm afraid we're gonna have to cut this presentation short." "Ma'am?" "[Gasps] yes." "Right, Abby." "The meeting." "Thank you." "[Door opens]" "[Camera shutter clicking]" "[Indistinct conversations]" "Michael." "Wait." "Are you stalking me now?" "Should I be worried?" "[Scoffs] Let me buy you a drink." "No, that's not necessary." "Oh, no." "I insist." "What'll it be?" "You're not here for a drink, Cyrus." "You're thirsty, but you're not here for a drink." "You're here because you want what you've been fantasizing about ever since you left the other night." "I can give you what you want... just the way you want it." "I don't pay for sex." "You wouldn't be paying for sex." "You'd be paying for privacy, for discretion." "It's not that complicated, Cyrus." "You either go home alone and try your own hand at quenching that thirst or go upstairs with me and replace that dry lump in your throat with something much more satisfying." "You wanted to see me, Mr. President?" "You drink?" "Um..." "Yes?" "Come in." "76-year-old Scotch." "You know Scotch?" "I do." "This is the second-best Scotch in the world." "I've had the first." "It's incredible." "You should try it." "I will make a call tomorrow to Her Majesty the Queen." "You're a surprise." "I've underestimated you, I think, Gabby." "You joined us during a challenging time, and I want to commend you on the job you're doing, particularly the sensitivity you've shown towards the First Lady." "I yelled at you." "I owe you an apology for that." "You do owe me an apology, but not for yelling at me." "You owe me an apology for not bothering to learn my name, Mr. President." "I'm Abby." "Abby Whelan." "I'm Scottish, by the way." "Nice to meet you, Abby Whelan." "Have a seat." "So... you've spoken to Olivia?" "Since she came back, you've talked to her?" "Yes." "How is she?" "Sir?" "How is she?" "Liv." "How's she doing?" "She's good, sir." "Really good." "You know Olivia."

"Uh, more roast?" "Why'd you do it?" "Hmm?" "Kill Harrison." "Did he figure out that you murdered the president's kid?" "Let me guess." "You delivered the culprit's head on a silver platter, and Fitz didn't have a clue." "Now you're back, ruling the underworld with the president in your pocket." " Nicely done." " That's enough." " You're in my home." " Shut up." "Just shut your stubborn, old-man mouth up." "You're done giving orders." "You're leaving." "You're done in Washington for good."
