and on the other end … stage three. when you realize he has something you don’t ⸺ that almost nobody walking this earth has. it’s magic. the world responds to it. you’ll try, but you will never be able to learn it for yourself. you’ll just see it in action and … understand why you’re there. he’s challenging and complicated, but he is a golden ticket to change the world and he is yours.

Don’t you get it? You are the common denominator here. You are the root cause of everything. I would still have my dignity if it wasn’t for you. I would still have my career if it wasn’t for you. Those jurors would still be alive if it wasn’t for you. I would have gotten to see Jerry attend his senior prom if it wasn’t for you. I wouldn’t have had to burry my baby if it wasn’t for you!

“Let’s take this moment to bow down to the Bellamy Young’s Lady Macbeth-on-crack performance as Mellie Grant. In that bunker scene, she undulates between doe-eyed, betrayed wife, and manipulative, hissing viper with startling dexterity, doling out threats in a voice so deep and unsettling you nearly whimper at home watching.”

because this is the 21st century. you can’t look at a man anymore and assume that his wife shares the same positions, nor can you hold the wife accountable for his actions. we are not our husbands’ keepers, as they say. we are our own women, with our own beliefs. and in case there is any doubt about where i stand on the president, you’ll notice he’s my ex-husband, not my husband.

“You’re supposed to hate the woman. Isn’t that the standard trope? The seductress, the slut, the tramp who led your man astray. And I do. I loathe Olivia Pope. But it’s a boring sort of hate. Uninteresting, cliche. It’s hard to even get my back into it. But Fitz? I found him. I cleaned him up after that monster who raised him damaged his spirit. I am the one who told him he was someone. I am the one who cheered him on and listened to him ramble about his hopes and his dreams. I am the one who focused him. I did all the work. I did all the work and now she gets to reap the benefits? No. No, I made him. He exists because I say he exists.”

“The basic through line of these: I used to just think she was an icy bitch, but now that I know she’s been raped, I guess I’ll cut her some slack! Believe it or not, some of us have been cutting her slack this whole time. I don’t suddenly like Mellie more or less because she is a survivor of rape. This idea that Mellie’s behavior is somehow lovable because it has some of its origins in a devastating sexual assault absolutely does not compute. For starters, I already loved Mellie’s behavior. But more important, Scandal is not that interested in us liking anyone. I’m interested in these characters, I have compassion for them, and I find their wild and violent exploits endlessly fascinating and intriguing. But like? This show does not operate on a like economy. It operates on an action economy.”

. . . and if jackie kennedy could be in a car with her husband's brains splattered across her lap one minute and standing next to l.b.j. as he was sworn in to replace her dead husband just 99 minutes later, you can put on a dress, and stand in your private box, and show all the people in our nation who share the horrible burden of losing a child with you that the first family may be devastated, but it has not forgotten the american people - who voted for your husband, and who need to see that you're okay - whether or not it's the truth.
