Seven Fifty-Two (2013)

Tony Goldwyn: Fitzgerald Grant

Quotes 

• Cyrus Beene : You know what happens if a bored nurse or an arrogant doctor tweets that the president, the same one who was shot in the head ten months ago, is in the hospital in the middle of the night? Markets panic, reporters swarm, DEFCON levels change.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Cats and dogs will finally get along?

  Cyrus Beene : Sir You have no idea how much damage control this requires. The lies I've had to tell James Madison in order to replace their staff on this floor, with military personnel who won't tell the New York Times that the president of the United States is here on a late-night booty call.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : I'm here. I'm staying here until Olivia is discharged, because that's what you do when someone you love is in the hospital. You're welcome to wait here with me, run whatever kind of interference you think is best, but I'm here.

  Jake Ballard : [walking in with coffees]  I'm sure you've got an army of Secret Service agents that know your exact cream-to-sugar ratio, but I just thought, as long as I was down there...

• President Fitzgerald Grant : I wanted to win this on my own. I wanted to win it because I deserved it. I wanted to win it because I had the will of the people behind me. I wanted to own becoming president of the United States of America. I didn't want it handed to me. I didn't want you fixing it for me. That's what you do, Livvie. You handle. You fix.

  Olivia Pope : I was trying to help.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : You don't fix me! You don't handle me! That is not love. That's control.
