Favorite Quotes

Episode: “A Few Good Women”
Writer: Severiano Canales

Jake: Hey, what’s going on with your friend? You know, the one who used my chest as a cutting board.
Olivia: He’s being taken care of. It’s being handled.

Quinn: You’re in amazing shape. Incredible core. I could work out every day all day and I’d never be in the kind of shape you’re in – I hate that about dudes.

Olivia: No one is going to kill you, Russell. I know that sounds comforting, but trust me, it’s not. You don’t get off so easily. You don’t get to die. So if I were you, I’d start talking about Foxtail, because what these two are going to do it you is much worse than death.

Susan: I removed Ensign Martin from an unsafe situation.
Cyrus: On whose authority? The captain of Crazy Town’s?

Abby: Jake’s sleeping at your place now?
Olivia: At least tell me which way the Oval is leaning.
Abby: So, you’re back together with Jake?
Olivia: He’s just staying with me. Mellie’s all over this, right? She …
Abby: What about the guy that we really liked? The one with the abs. Russell? I was rooting for him. What’s going on with him?
Olivia: Turns out he’s not my type.

Olivia: He’s nothing like you.
Jake: A guy runs into you in a public place. It seems random. Casual. He flirts a little. And then what a surprise, you run into him again. You’d be bothered by the coincidence, except he says all the right things. He’s nice but with a bit of an arrogant edge, persistent but aloof. It’s all just enough to peak your interest.

Jake: The only difference is that I’m in love with you. Command would call that a defect. Russell does not have that defect. With Russell, Command built a better me.

Jake: Kill me once, shame on me. Kill me twice…

Russell: He talks about you differently than he talks about the others
Jake: Yeah.
Russell: He misses you
Jake: He’s the closest thing to a father that I’ve ever had.

Jake: And the wine, the wine is just pretentious. All that cork smelling.
Russell: No, I like the wine. He has excellent taste in wine.

Jake: He has excellent taste in everything. That’s the problem. He’s better at everything than everyone else.
Russell: Well, he’s command and as we know…
Russell and Jake together: You can’t take command, son!

Russell: Okay, you can tie me back up now. Bring in crazy dude. I’m good to go.

Fitz: You wanna know what Liv would tell you to say? Or is that too…
Mellie: Tell me.
Fitz: She’d tell you to throw your husband under the bus.
