If
you've not seen scandal you are sure missing a lot. Everyone needs to have a
feel of Olivia Pope. And for those who has seen the movie, here are 6 quotes
from the movie you shouldn't forget.
1.“No
one elected you! You’re not the president! You don’t
weigh in on foreign policy! Your opinion doesn’t
matter! You are the first lady. Your job is to plant gardens and decorate rooms
and let them blog about your clothes. You’re ornamental, not functional.
So, don’t come into the oval and try to use your brain because
no one cares.” —President Fitzgerald
Grant
2. “We
are talking about the president of the United States. You wanna burn down his
house, you’re
gonna have to burn down your own as well.” —Olivia
Pope
3. “I
wasn’t made to be the chief of staff. Do you know what I
was made to be? I was made to be the president of the United States. I was made
to lead the nation. I was made to ensure this country’s
place in the world for generations to come. I would’ve
been great at that. I have the stones. I have backbone. I have the will. I
would have been a great president. But guess what? I’m
fairly short, and I’m not so pretty, and I really like having sex with
men. So instead of being president of this land that I love, I get to be the
guy behind the president of the United States. And sure, I have power. I influence
decisions. I help steer the country. But I’ll never be in the
history books. My name will never be on an airport or a doctrine. Being the guy
behind the guy is as far as my road goes.” —Cyrus
Beene
4. “I know she seems weak
now, but she is smart and powerful. And smart, powerful women like Catalina don’t
just curl up and hide when they’ve been wounded. They
strike back … by writing memoirs and appearing on talk shows and at
benefits and red carpets, talking about women’s
rights in the developing world. And how babies were ripped from her arms by a
ruthless dictator who can’t run a family, much less a country. And then one day
out of nowhere, she’s not just the mother of your children anymore; she’s
a hero. And people everywhere—here, your country—love
a hero… This woman can be the mother of your
child or the face of your
opposition.” —Olivia Pope
5. “What’s
next? What’s next? Okay, here’s what happens next:
you resign from office now. Or Amanda goes on TV, tells her sad, sordid tale.
There are hearings, you’re
impeached, and you are forced to resign from
office. Your vice president—a moronic, right-wing
nut job who thinks the Tea Party was founded to lower the yacht tax and who also
seems to not quite understand that evolution isn’t
an idea but an actual fact, but who cares? We won the scary states in the
election. They’ll have a party now that their Grand Wizard is
president. I’m pretty sure I’ll never see a legal
marriage and women will lose their right to choose, but hey, whatever. We’re
all Republicans, even if the new president will give Republicans a bad name.You’ll
leave in disgrace, go home to California, keep a low profile for a while, and
then some fancy publishing house will pay you a fortune for a book, which you’ll
write. Only it won’t talk about what everyone really wants to know about.
It won’t talk about your sordid affair with a White House
aide. It’ll talk about policy and your thoughts on the economy,
and it won’t sell because no one cares about your thoughts on policy
and the economy anymore because you’re not the president
anymore. What you are now is a joke on Letterman. Mellie, a lovely woman, ambitious
and strong, and, well, quite wealthy in her own right, she’s
not gonna be circa 1998 Hillary on this. No, sirree. This is the 21st century.
She’s gonna leave you, and she’s
gonna take your children with her, and everyone will
applaud her, from the
Religious Right to the women’s groups, because you’re
a philandering pig who had a child out of wedlock, and we all know it’s
true because we heard the tape.You’ll be alone in your
house in Santa Barbara, listening to old records and telling the same story
over and over again to the poor sap not smart enough to get out of being
assigned to your Secret Service detail. Then one day, about, oh, three or four years
from now, you’ll step into your bathroom, take out that revolver
your father gave you when you were elected governor, you’ll
put it in your mouth and you’ll blow the back of
your skull off. Oprah’s retired now, so I guess I have to do a post-funeral interview
with Barbara Walters. She’s nice. But, ya know! You just go back to writing your
own speech. That’s important. That matters.”
—Cyrus Beene
6. “Gay,
I can work with. Gay, I could get elected. Gay, I could take all the way. Give
me ten years, and I can make a gay president… This? Single, celibate?
No women or men anywhere?! No virility, no testosterone? No passion? That’s
fatal… When’s the last time a
single man has been elected to the governor’s mansion in any
state in the past forty years? People don’t like a guy they can’t
place.” —Olivia Pope
