Scandal (TV Series)

A Stomach for Blood (2017)

Zoe Perry: Samantha Ruland

Quotes 

• Samantha : Look at you, playing all dumb. Thinking you can outsmart us. Like there's anything you can do that we haven't already prepared for. So naive. But I guess you'd have to be to think you could actually be president someday.

  Abby Whelan : You won't be the first person to under estimate me.

  Samantha : Says every loser who's built a career on riding other people's coattails.

  Abby Whelan : Leave right now. Because the Attorney General of the United States - my friend David Rosen - is going to come out that door, and I'm gonna give him information that's gonna put you and your people in a cement box until the time comes for you to stand trial for treason.

  Samantha : Oh, Abby. I'm a real bitch. You just play one on TV.

• Abby Whelan : We're only beginning to identify a location for the presidential library, but we'd hold any contribution you're willing to make at this time in high esteem. Did you happen to have a figure in mind?

  Theodore : $250 million.

  Abby Whelan : I'm sorry?

  Ms. Ruland : I thought we discussed 3.

  Theodore : $300 million.

  Abby Whelan : For a presidential library?

  Ms. Ruland : Of course not. Do we look crazy?

  Abby Whelan : No. I, um...

  [clears her throat] 

  Abby Whelan : $300 million.

  Theodore : Not for the president or his library, Ms. Whelan. It's not his team that we're interested in being a part of. It's yours.
