OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Quinn: I don't know how you take it, cream or sugar, so I brought
both.
Amanda: I don't take it. Do they always do this?
Quinn: Yeah. They do that.
Amanda: Good. God. I was starting to think it was me or something.
Quinn: It is you. They're talking about you, Amanda. Everyone's
gonna be talking about you.

Stephen: No. No way.

Abby: Are you kidding?
Stephen: What if she's lying?
Abby: What if she's not? I vote yes.
Olivia: We're not voting.
Stephen: It's Monica all over again, except without the blue dress,
without any kind of proof.
Abby: Who needs proof? The girl said she slept with the president.
Stephen: Liv worked at the white house. That alone makes it a giant
conflict of interest.
Abby: Oh, please call me when you grow a pair.
Olivia: We're not voting.
Huck: She seems scared. I'd vote yes if we were voting.
Harrison: It's Sandra Harding. Her son didn't make it to court. Day one
can you believe it? Who are we voting on?
Olivia: We're not voting. She's ours. We're keeping her. It's done.
Olivia: Sandra, we'll find him.
Stephen: I'll go to court and help the defense stall.
Olivia: You're gonna have to get creative. Harrison, you're with me.
Huck, find Gideon Wallace at the "D.C. Sun" I want to talk to
him today. Abby, take Amanda home, pack up her things, make
sure -
Abby: No one no one is following her and set her up at your
apartment. Got it.

COURTHOUSE:

Judge: I'm losing my patience, Mr. Cole.

Mr. Cole: Uh, I'm told he'll be here very soon, your honor. A
Presidential motorcade is blocking Massachusetts Avenue.
Judge: Ah. Yet, here we are.
Attorney: Perhaps the defendant should take one of his helicopters,
your honor.
Stephen: We're running out of time, Liv.

HOTEL:

Olivia: Well, keep stalling.

Harrison: Room service. We've got your breakfast.
Girl: I don't think we ordered any.
Harrison: I love my job.
Olivia: You might want to put on some clothes for this. Excuse me.
Olivia: Up and at 'em, Trav!
Travis: Oh-ho-ho! Livvie! How the hell are ya?
Olivia: I'm fine. You're late.
Travis: Hey, do you know who this is?! This is the Olivia Pope. She's
amazing. She works for the...Who do you work for now, the
White House, CIA, FBI?
Olivia: Today? Your mother.
Travis: Oh, crap.
Olivia: She's not too thrilled about the fact that you were late for
court on your first day of trial.
Olivia: Is this what you're looking for?
Travis: Just give me, like, two minutes. All right? Where are my
pants?
Harrison: Whoa. Why don't we why don't we rinse the booze off first?
Judge will appreciate that.
Travis: I know I've been hitting it pretty hard lately, going out.
I've just been so stressed out.
Olivia: A rape charge does it to the best of us.
Travis: I didn't do it. I no-
Olivia: I know. I believe you. Now let's go work on that judge and
jury.
Olivia: You. May I ask a favor?

COURTHOUSE:

Judge: Court's adjourned. Back here at 2:00 with your defendant, or

I'll lock him up for the rest of the trial.
Mr. Cole: Thank you, your honor.
Stephen: How are you holding up, Sandra?
Sandra: I can't lose him, Stephen. I won't lose him.
Stephen: I know. I know.

HOTEL:

Harrison: Get my good side, gentlemen.

HOTEL - UNDERGROUND:

Travis: Is there anything you didn't take care of, Liv?

Olivia: Your hotel bell. It's a doozy.
Travis: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Sandra: He really did forget what time the trial started.

Olivia: Sandra.
Sandra: You're right. He screwed up.
Olivia: He's lucky the judge didn't throw him back in jail. This
isn't a parking ticket. He's on trial for rape.
Sandra: He didn't do it. He didn't rape that girl.
Olivia: I believe you, but if I'm the jury, I'm already resenting him
for wasting my time.
Sandra: Which is why I would like you on this thing. You can guide
our defense team, keep Travis in line.
Olivia: Unh-unh. No way. Today was just a favor.
Sandra: Liv.
Olivia: Sandra, I love you. I love your son. But I am on retainer for
your company, not your family. I help with mergers and P.R. I
don't babysit 27 year olds.
Sandra: I know that Travis is irresponsible. I know that. I try to
tell him that he has to step up, fix his own mistakes. Part
of it is on me. After Hal died, he went through a very rough
time, and I didn't always have the time to help him sort
through all of that stuff. And these girls see the son of a
rich C.E.O., and they get dollar signs in their eyes. That
girl is not the victim here. Travis is. Please. You've
handled difficult clients before.
Olivia: Not ones who didn't show up in court. And I already got
Travis one of the best defense lawyers in Washington. He
doesn't need me.
Sandra: I need you. I spend all day listening to people who tell me
what they think I want to hear. You are the only one who will
give it to me straight. He could be in a lot of trouble here,
Liv. I need someone on our side who I can trust.
Olivia: People don't say no to you very often, do they?
Sandra: Probably about as often as they say no to you.

WHITE HOUSE - PRIVATE RESIDENCE:

Fitz: What's happening?

Mellie: Morning, honey.
Fitz: What's happening?
Mellie: I called Mrs. Hanley and I canceled your morning schedule.
Fitz: Uh. Oh, for the love of-
Mellie: You haven't been sleeping. You paced until 4:00 A.M. I wanted
you to get some sleep.
Fitz: I had a video conference on hunger in the developing world.
Mandela got outta bed. Mandela was waiting for me.
Mellie: People die if they don't get enough sleep.
Fitz: The chairman of the joint chiefs and I had a meeting, I was
sitting with the economic advisors.
Mellie: You needed one chance to sleep in.
Fitz: I am the leader of the free world! I do not sleep in!
Mellie: Why aren't you sleeping?
Fitz: Mel...
Mellie: I just want you to have what you need. You know that. I'm
doing a tour of D.C. homeless shelters this afternoon. I have
to give a speech. Wish me luck.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Gideon: Hey.
Quinn: What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here. You
have to stop showing up here.
Gideon: Are you always this high-strung?
Quinn: No. I'm just new.
Gideon: It's kind of charming. Relax. I have a meeting with your
boss.
Quinn: Um, Olivia, I
Gideon: Hey, where are you going? We have a meeting.
Olivia: No, we don't.
Gideon: You called me. Your guy said that you wanted to talk to me
about-
Olivia: Why would I want to do that?
Gideon: I don't know. I imagine so you can try to kill my story about
Amanda Tanner, which there is no way in hell I am gonna let
you do.
Olivia: I don't have to kill your story, Gideon. You're going to kill
it yourself. As soon as you publish even anything remotely
interesting about my client, all of the real reporters at
your paper are going to snatch it right out of your cub-
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 5

reporter hands. By the way, great piece yesterday about how

the cherry blossoms are so late to bloom this year. I do hope
they come soon. This is how this works. You're gonna leave
Amanda alone and keep her name out of your paper for the next
72 hours. You do that, and I will give you some background on
her. And if you're lucky, a quote.
Gideon: That sounds fair. Okay. Good meeting.
Olivia: There was no meeting.

OLIVIA POPES APARTMENT:

Amanda: You bring a lot of clients to your home?

Olivia: Just the ones that need to be kept out of the public eye.
Amanda: So, what happens next?
Olivia: Next we talk about things.
Amanda: Okay.
Olivia: Not bad things. Just things that will help me. For instance,
I need to know if you have any proof of what went on with you
and the President.
Amanda: Why do you need that?
Olivia: Because if it ever came down to his word against yours, we'll
need proof of what happened, because even though I believe
you, others won't.
Amanda: I have something, yeah. I'm not ready to tell you what it is.
Olivia: Amanda.
Amanda: My terms. You said we could do this on my terms. I'm not
telling you until I'm ready.
Olivia: Okay. Hopefully, it won't come to that. Hopefully, we'll
figure this out, which brings me to the second thing I need.
What's the end game?
Amanda: The end game?
Olivia: A question I ask every client what they want. What's your
best outcome? Do you want money? Do you want to stay in
Washington? Do you want your job back? You have options.
Amanda: I want to see the President.
Olivia: Excuse me?
Amanda: I want to see the President. I want one meeting with him,
alone, face-to-face.

RESTAURANT:

Cyrus: No. No, it was the caucus. We were in Des Moines debating,
and the moderator raises the question.
Billy: Mm-hmm.
Cyrus: And Fitz just looked Olivia.
Olivia: Oh, please. Billy, can you give us a minute?
Billy: Um, I'm, uh, eating shrimp scampi, so, no.
Olivia: Billy.
Billy: Liv, I'm eating, and he's paying. Do you know how rare that
is? Look, you used to be the work wife, but word on the
street is, your spots open, so you really think I'm leaving
this table?
Olivia: Billy, leave the table.
Cyrus: Billy, leave the table.
Cyrus: Work wife. I suppose that's true.
Olivia: It is true. Was true.
Cyrus: He's not sleeping.
Olivia: Not my problem.
Cyrus: So what does my ex-work wife want?
Olivia: Amanda Tanner wants a sit-down. Fifteen minutes with him.
Cyrus: You and I both know-
Olivia: And then she goes away, for good. This is legit, Cyrus.
Cyrus: And then this goes away?
Olivia: Then you'll buy scampi only for me.
Cyrus: We made a President together.
Olivia: We did.
Cyrus: I miss you.
Olivia: Yeah. Me, too.
Cyrus: He's not sleeping.
Olivia: Cyrus, neither am I.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Mr. Cole: The woman's name is Helen Fisher. She went home with Travis
willingly. Claims that things got out of hand, he wouldn't
take no for an answer.
Stephen: How are you explaining the bruises?
Mr. Cole: Self-inflicted. After the fact. Travis is innocent.
Abby: Aren't they all?
Mr. Cole: No. Hell, no. But Travis is. I have tried millions of these
cases. It's a classic he said, she said. It'll all come down
to-
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 7

Olivia: Perception. These cases always do. And you're how do I say
this? You're being perceived by the public, and more
importantly, by the jury, as an entitled rich boy who thinks
he can get away with anything. To change that, you play by my
rules. Harrison's your babysitter. You do not drink. You
don't go out. No more blondes, as charming as she was.
Travis: Whatever you say, Liv.

OUTSIDE DAVID ROSENS APARTMENT:

David: You're obsessed. Do I need a restraining order?

Olivia: A restraining order? For a friend who brings you free coffee?
David: We're not friends, and that coffee is not free. What do you
want?
Olivia: Jane Powell she's prosecuting the Harding rape case. You got
any-
David: Dirt? Dirt on Jane Powell, my friend and colleague? So you
can threaten or intimidate her?
Olivia: Oh, please, you hate Jane Powell. Jane Powell is gunning for
your job. You're so touchy pre-coffee.
David: Beat it, stalker.
Olivia: That's no way to treat a friend.
David: We're not friends.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Olivia: No luck with the U.S. attorney. I got nothing on the

prosecution. Where's the jury?
Stephen: Uh, these ten are voting guilty.
Quinn: But the trial's not even over. How can you say that for sure?
Stephen: Demographics, body language, sociological, and psychological
factors. We've ruled out all but two as potential non-guilty
votes uh, juror 4 freelance graphic designer, bartender,
voted for Nader.
Olivia: He's independent, contrarian. Good.
Stephen: And juror 6, uh, N.R.A. member, retired marine, winces every
time the prosecution speaks.
Olivia: So he's an Alpha male with a grudge against the female
prosecutor. Great. Love it. Huck, what'd you get?
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 8

DRY CLEANERS:

Juror: I can't discuss it. That's final. When the guy is in jail,
you can ask me anything you want.

LAUNDROMAT:

Juror: No, man. He is a total date raper.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Huck: Jury's set to hang him high.

Stephen: Day three of trial, and we've lost them already.
Olivia: Abby, what do we have on Helen?
Abby: I went to her work.

NONPROFIT CHILDRENS ORGANIZATION:

Woman: Thursdays at Tony's. Helen and I had a longstanding weekly

drinks date.
Abby: Oh, I know the drill. I used to be so hungover on Fridays
during law school.
Woman: It wasn't like that. Helen would have one, maybe two drinks.
She never wanted to be hungover around the kids. Plus,
working here, for a nonprofit? It's all she could afford.
Excuse me.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Abby: The bad? Helen's a Saint. Special ED advocate. Head of the

American University Alumni Club for D.C. A saint. Which I
might add, you have to be to win a he said, she said case
without coming out looking like a regretful slut who was
asking for it.
Olivia: You're killing me. What's the good?
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 9

Abby: The good is she's broke. I checked her credit reports. She's
over 250 grand between student loans and credit cards, and
financially, the girl's drowning.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Sandra: You want me to settle? Olivia, that's out of the question.

Olivia: Helen is an airtight witness. We need to stop her from
cooperating with the prosecution any further, and we've
already lost the jury.
Sandra: He is innocent. The evidence is paper-thin.
Olivia: Photographs of bruises on a pretty girl prove to be very
effective. In a case like this, perception is more important
than evidence. The truth doesn't matter. He looks guilty. He
is guilty.
Sandra: We'll win on appeal.
Olivia: That'll take two years, minimum. In the meantime, Travis will
be in prison. We've got an opportunity here. The girl needs
money. You have a lot of money. You only have one son.
Settle.
Sandra: Do whatever you have to do.

COURTROOM:

Olivia: That's $8 million in three installments.

Mr. Cole: In a way which makes it clear. The attorney representing Mr.
Harding was totally unaware.
Stephen: The gag order and confidentiality clause are standard. As
Charles here's hopefully explained, It means you stop
cooperating as a witness.
Mr. Cole: I am not here. I was in the building on another case. I just-
Stephen: Which will force the prosecution to drop the case.
Olivia: They've offered to throw in an extra $500,000 to the special
education charity of your choice if we leave here with an
agreement.
Lawyer: Ten.
Mr. Cole: Ten? That is preposterous! You must-I'm sorry. Ignore me. I'm
not here.
Lawyer: Ten. Up front, one payment.
Olivia: I can sell 9. No more.
Lawyer: Done.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 10

Helen: No.
Lawyer: Helen, we're not going to get a better offer.
Helen: I said no.
Olivia: You're angry, Helen. I understand that. But the quickest way
to put this behind you is to settle this now or you're
looking at years of appeals, years of unfinished anger-
Helen: How much would you take, Ms. Pope?
Olivia: I'm sorry?
Helen: If you were me, how much would it take you to be able to
forget? To forget you'd been strangled, had your clothes
ripped off, had some guy pin you down while he forced his
fist inside your mouth so hard, you could taste your own
blood? How much would it take you to be able to forget all
that? To be able to even think of having sex with somebody
again? To wake up every morning and not want to kill yourself
when you realize it wasn't just a dream, it actually
happened? How much would it take you to forget all that? $10
million? 20? How much would you be worth? Hmm? How much?
Olivia: Let's go.

WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE:

Fitz: Thank you for your service.

Military: Thank you, Mr. President.
Fitz: Thank you. Thank you for your service.
Military: It's an honor, Mr. President.
Fitz: Gentlemen, thank you all.
Cyrus: Thank you.
Fitz: Did you see that?
Cyrus: Hmm?
Fitz: They had prosthetic hands. That man saluted me with his left
hand because his right hand was blown off by an I.E.D. while
he was busy keeping us safe. This country. Its heart.
Cyrus: I wish you were a cynic. Being President is easier for a
cynic. Olivia wants a meeting. One sit-down with Amanda
Tanner, and it all goes away. I think, I think it's worth it.
We do it casually, discreet, somewhere off the grounds. You
hear her out, and then it's done. We're free. This is a
chance to put Amanda Tanner behind you.
Fitz: Olivia will be there?
Cyrus: Like I said, your life would be so much easier if you were a
cynic.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 11

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Harrison: Three days out, we let this go to jury and we're screwed.
Stephen: Well, it's going to because she won't settle.
Quinn: So we lost? I mean what happens when we lose? We're just
done?
Olivia: We're never done. If we lose this round, we prep him for
appeal. If we lose that, we prep him for a second appeal,
because whatever happens, there's always another move.
Whatever happens, we do not give up. It is my name on that
door, and I do not give up.
Abby: It's not personal.
Olivia: She really doesn't like the word "lose".

HARDING HOUSE:

Travis: It feels kinda cheap.

Harrison: It is. Juries have a natural bias against the exceedingly
rich.
Travis: Well, I have a natural bias against rayon. But hey, if it'll
help me look as innocent as I am, I love it. Hey, man, be
straight with me. What's the point of all this? I mean, if
she won't settle, I'm going to prison, aren't I?
Harrison: No more yellow ties. Blue. You can trust a man in blue.
Travis: But maybe we didn't go high enough. Maybe we should try
again. I mean, they always take the money in the end.

OLIVIAS APARTMENT:

Amanda: Okay, I can't talk. Not now. You have to stop calling me.
Olivia: Who are you talking to?
Amanda: That reporter from the "Sun". He keeps calling me.
Olivia: Look, I'm not gonna take your phone away, but I cannot stress
the importance that you only take calls from your parents and
my staff. You cannot answer your phone, not even to tell
someone to go away. Damn it. He knows something. He's
chomping at the bit. He must have something.
Quinn: He likes me.
Olivia: What?
Quinn: The reporter. Gideon. I think he likes me. Maybe I could talk
to him, find out what he knows?
Olivia: Harrison?
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 12

Harrison: I want permission to look into Travis' finances.

Olivia: What are you thinking?
Harrison: He said something about settlements, how they always take the
money. I think we should know if he's speaking from
experience.
Olivia: Be careful.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Harrison: In '08, he made 3 payments of $200,000 to a woman in

Arlington.
Abby: Her name's Rachel Kline. 23 year old waitress at Darcy's in
Georgetown.
Olivia: Let's track her down, find out what the money was for.
Abby: Can't. She's dead.
Stephen: Committed suicide three years ago. Pills.
Harrison: 600 grand is one hell of a tip for your favorite waitress,
huh?
Huck: All the marks of a cover-up here.
Quinn: Covering up what?
Stephen: Liv, I know Sandra's your friend, but-
Olivia: If he raped that girl and paid her off, it makes it a lot
more likely he raped Helen, too.

WHITE HOUSE CYRUS BEENES OFFICE:

Fitz: Looks like we're gonna get 458 pass from the Senate. A nice
victory for bipartisanship. What?
Cyrus: I thought we were good, problem solved. But this just came in
my mail my personal mail.
Fitz: What is it?
Cyrus: It's an audiotape. Do they call them audiotapes now, what,
with CDS and all? I'm old.
Fitz: Cyrus, you're rambling. You don't ramble, so now I'm nervous.
Cyrus: Sir, you'll want to hear this.
Fitz: Cy
Cyrus: From that first day when you asked me to run your campaign, I
dreamed a lot of dreams, big dreams. I knew you were going to
be President, but, I never dreamed I'd be listening to a tape
of you moaning with a White House aide. That's what that is,
right, you with your pants down, having sex with Amanda
Tanner?
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 13

Fitz: Cyrus, I
Cyrus: You don't talk. You don't talk anymore. Someone sent this to
me. You get that? Amanda Tanner is blackmailing you, which
means that Olivia Pope is blackmailing you.

Fitz: This isn't Liv. Liv didn't do this. She wouldn't do this.
Cyrus: Mr. President
Fitz: Liv wouldn't do this.
Cyrus: I don't want to believe it either, but
Fitz: Liv is not behind this. She wanted a meeting. She wanted to
put this to bed.
Cyrus: You know what happens at that meeting? They ambush you. There
were no demands that came with this. Just the tape. The
demands come in the meeting when you're face-to-face, when
they have you by the balls, when they're in control. We both
know that's how Olivia Pope works. There isn't gonna be a
happy ending. Liv isn't coming home.
Fitz: Okay.
Cyrus: She's not gonna forgive you.
Fitz: Okay.
Cyrus: She's going to take a knife and she's going to gut you, and
she's going to walk away
Fitz: I said okay! Oh, my God.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES/WASHINGTON, D.C. STREET:

Abby: I just left Rachel's parents' house.

Harrison: The mother tell you anything?
Abby: She wouldn't talk, but she didn't have to. She's a fourth
grade teacher, and there's an S-Class in the driveway. Looks
like a 2007, maybe a 2008.
Harrison: That's an $80,000 car that came out the year her daughter was
paid off. It must have been Rachel's.
Abby: Exactly. You want to know the best part? There's an American
University sticker on it.
Harrison: Helen went to American.
Abby: Harrison, I'm gonna need you to get-
Harrison: Already on it.

LAB:
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 14

Worker: You're not a cop.

Harrison: Not even close.
Worker: Usually, all we get down here are cops. Sometimes lawyers,
but you're not a lawyer, either.
Harrison: I'm definitely not a cop. Some days I'm a lawyer. But today
I'm just a single man looking for evidence. An old rape kit
from a few years ago, if you even have it. The name Rachel
Kline.
Worker: You flirting with me? 'Cause I test rape kits all day,
hundreds of 'em, backlogged so bad, it'll be ten years before
some of them even get opened. You know what's in a rape kit,
guy who's sometimes a lawyer, but not a cop? Swabs from her
lips, her cheeks, her thighs, her hair, her cervix, the
panties she was wearing when he pulled 'em down, the little
bits of him they combed off her body, and the comb they used
to do it. So if can give you something that's gonna get some
justice for one these women whose pain and shame is in these
bags, just ask me. I'll do it. But if you want anything else,
you've come to the wrong place.
Harrison: The rape kit will be fine. Thank you, ma'am.
Worker: Mm-hmm.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Quinn: Hey, Gideon. Hi. It's, uh, Quinn Perkins from Olivia Pope and
Associates. I was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink
with me tonight if you're not busy. If you are, it's
completely and totally fine. We could do it another time
tomorrow, or next week, or never at all, ever. Okay. Sure.
Bye.
Quinn: What?
Huck: You're weird.
Quinn: I'm not weird.
Huck: Weird is good.
Quinn: Thank you!

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES/WHITE HOUSE:

Stephen: Amanda settling in okay?

Olivia: I'm sorry we didn't vote.
Stephen: We never vote. Not really.
Olivia: Trust me. We're on the right side of this.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 15

Stephen: Whose side, Liv, the white house's, Amanda's? You have a
conflict of interest so big in this thing, I don't even think
there's a word for it.
Olivia: Mellie.
Mellie: I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.
Olivia: No, not at all. What can I do for you?
Mellie: Well, you know we have that state dinner tonight, and I
checked, and I couldn't believe it, but it looks you didn't
receive an invitation. Which was an oversight, I swear.
Olivia: I'm flattered, truly, but
Mellie: Eight oclock! See you then!
Harrison: You're gonna want to see this.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Abby: She met Travis in a bar in Adams Morgan.

Stephen: She was just out of American, working at a lobbying firm.
After a night of heavy drinking, Rachel went home with
Travis, and he raped her.
Harrison: She filed a police report, rape kit and all. Two days later,
he made payments three payments to her account. Bought her an
S-Class to sweeten the deal.
Huck: She recanted her story to the police, thought she could just
move on, but she couldn't function. Had to move back in with
her parents.
Abby: And then one night about a year later, she swallowed enough
Seconal to end her life. She was found by a friend. Her best
friend. She changed her hair from brunette to blonde, but
it's still-
Olivia: Helen Fisher.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Olivia: You were right about Helen. She was after Travis, but not for
the money. She was after Travis because four years ago, he
raped her best friend. Her name was Rachel Kline, and you
destroyed her life, Travis. But you're not guilty of raping
Helen, and Rachel can never testify against you, so you'll go
free.
Sandra: Is this true?
Travis: M-mom
Sandra: Answer me, honey.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 16

Travis: I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want to disappoint you

any more than I. I'm sorry. I screwed up, and I tried to fix
it. I tried. You told me, you, you always said, I should fix
my mistakes, so I took care of it. I handled it.

COURTROOM:

Mr. Cole: You went to Tony's on Thursdays because the defendant went
there on Thursdays. Isn't that right?
Helen: No! It-
Mr. Cole: You went every Thursday for six months. Isn't that correct?
Helen: Yes, but you're
Mr. Cole: You stalked him, didn't you?
Lawyer: Objection. Argumentative.
Judge: Sustained.
Mr. Cole: You approached him as a brunette, and then, when he didn't
respond, you changed your hair color so he would notice you.
Helen: No, he hurt me! He pinned me down. He-
Judge: Ms. Fisher, stick to the questions.
Mr. Cole: You were obsessed. You change your hair color, you follow
Travis around. So you could seduce him. You went home with
him, you had consensual sex with him, and then you set him
up. Set all of us up.

Sandra: He's gonna get off isn't he? They're destroying that girl in
there. Travis is gonna be just fine. I signed him up for
everything when he was a kid. Hockey, soccer, lacrosse. I
figured, if I couldn't be around, at least he'd stay busy,
maybe he wouldn't notice. He was great at everything, made
every all-star team. In ten years, I never made it to a
single game.
Olivia: It's not your fault.
Travis: He hurt someone, Liv. He held her down and he-My son did
that. He's a...What should I do? Tell me.
Olivia: There's nothing you can do. Who he is, what he is, it's not
your fault.

WASHINGTON, D.C. BAR:

Bartender: Here you go.
Huck: Hey.
Quinn: What, what are you doing here?
Huck: Setting you up.
Quinn: Setting me up?
Huck: Virgin margaritas for the lady all night, and whatever her
date orders gets a 3-finger pour of booze in it. Put your
hair down and take that jacket off. Flirt just enough, but
not too much, and do not let him see you home.
Quinn: I can handle myself, you know?
Huck: Oh, I heard you on the phone. You need to be set up.

WHITE HOUSE - STATE DINNER:

Fitz: Lovely to see you. Here's the prime minister. Hello. It's
wonderful to see you again. Hi.
Fitz: What's Olivia doing here?
Mellie: I invited her.
Fitz: How are you, Bill? Good to see you. You two know each other.
Mellie: Liv. You look lovely.
Olivia: Oh.
Mellie: Oh. Mm. Doesn't she look lovely?
Fitz: Of course, yeah. I'm so happy you could come.
Olivia: I wouldn't miss it, Mr. President.
Olivia: Prime minister, delightful to see you. How is the new baby?
Fitz: Good to see you. Thank you so much for coming.
Olivia: Oh, hi. Oh. Great to see you.

Olivia: You're better than I expected.

Billy: Oh, they had ballroom dancing at Andover. It was the only way
I could get near a girl back then, so I took it twice.
Olivia: Glad to see it's working out for you. What?
Billy: I'm trying to figure out how I can sexually harass you and
get away with it.
Olivia: Billy.
Billy: What? You don't work here anymore. You could date me. I'm a
catch. Or Is there another guy?
Mellie: I'd like a turn with the best dancer in the west wing. No
offense, Fitz.
Fitz: None taken.
Mellie: You mind?
Olivia: No.

Cyrus: Keep 'em coming.

Waiter: Yes, sir.
Olivia: Don't look at me.
Fitz: How come?
Olivia: Because everyone will know.
Fitz: I can't not look at you.
Olivia: The song will be over in a minute.
Fitz: This is ridiculous. Everything is ridiculous. How did it all
get so ? Damn it, just look at me. Look at me. Meet me in
our spot in ten minutes.
Olivia: No.
Fitz: I am not spending any more time away from you.
Olivia: Stop it. We're in public. Look away.
Fitz: Look I know I don't have the right. I know. I know you don't
trust me. I-I love you.
Olivia: Your wife is 10 feet away.
Fitz: I love you.
Olivia: What about Amanda?
Fitz: I. Love. You. Our spot, ten minutes.
Olivia: You can't leave your own state dinner.
Fitz: Watch me.

WASHINGTON, D.C. BAR:

Gideon: Generous bartender.

Quinn: I know. I'm so buzzed.
Gideon: So should we get to it?
Quinn: I'm sorry?
Gideon: I know why you called.
Quinn: You do.
Gideon: To find out what I know, dig around, find my weak spots. Let
me save you some time. I have tried every drug but the needle
drugs, but I'm only addicted to "SportsCenter" and my
BlackBerry, I talked my way out of a D.U.I. in Lubbock, but
the arrest record is still on file. Texas! And in eighth
grade, I stuffed the ballot box in an attempt to rig the
student council election, but I did it to get closer to Jenny
Marconi, not for the power. Still lost.
Quinn: Okay.
Gideon: I'm not giving up this story. It's my ticket off of Metro and
on to national, and don't tell me it's not a story, 'cause
that would insult what little intelligence I have, and I
wouldn't believe you anyway, 'cause your boss is involved,
and you're a terrible liar who's not the least bit buzzed,
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 19

and I know that because you've had as much as I've had, and
while I am genuinely buzzed, you are coiled like a cobra
'cause you're so freakin' tense. Now that you know
everything, let's forget about work for a couple of hours,
get you a real drink...
Quinn: Why did you break the deal with Olivia? What are you talking
about? You called Amanda. I was there when she got the call.
Gideon: Don't get me wrong, I'm digging. I called Amanda's college
roommate, I called her friends at the White House, but I
absolutely, positively did not call Amanda. I'm keeping my
promise. I want that quote.

WHITE HOUSE - STATE DINNER:

Olivia: Oh, Cyrus. Hello.

Cyrus: I don't know what you think you're playing at, Liv, but I
don't take kindly to blackmail.
Olivia: Uh, I'm sorry. What?
Cyrus: I never took you for the "hell hath no fury" type. It's a
little trashy, but so is having an affair with a married man.
Olivia; You want to be careful, Cyrus, with how you speak to me,
because I might forget that we are friends. Now if you'll
excuse me.
Cyrus: What happened, you danced, he said he loved you? What, are
you gonna go meet him right now? He's good. He has you in the
palm of his hand. You're being played. You're being played by
the best politician in the world. The upside? The tell-all
book that you can write when you're old "the President's
whore" it's all very dirty and best seller. These very nice
agents are gonna escort you off the White House grounds. And
you can tell Amanda Tanner that the meeting with the
President is off.

HARDING HOUSE:

Olivia: I was wrong before.

Sandra: Livvie, it's late.
Olivia: I was wrong before about it not being your fault. It is your
fault.
Sandra: What?
Olivia: You love him. You do. But you can't fix everything for him.
You can't. He's playing you because you let him. You give him
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 20

everything he asks for and you clean up his messes and you
believe him even when he lies to you, and that is, that is
not love. Love is making him face who he is. The best thing
you can do for him is to do the best thing for him. It's not
your fault, what he did, but letting him get away with it,
that is your fault.

WHITE HOUSE - ROSE GARDEN:

Cyrus: Mr. President.

Fitz: Cyrus. This is not a good time.
Cyrus: Olivia's not coming.
Fitz: What? She canceled the meeting with Amanda Tanner. She was
playing you, twisting the knife. I'm sorry, sir.
Fitz: I need to get back to the prime minister.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Travis: You want me to turn myself in? That's a little drastic.

Right? Mom?
Sandra: You raped that girl, Travis. She killed herself.
Travis: But that wasn't my fault. It wasn't.
Sandra: Travis, please. This is hard enough.
Travis: So I made a couple of payments? They can't put me away for
that.
Olivia: There's a rape kit. It's got your D.N.A. all over it.
Travis: She never pressed charges. They don't even have my name. It
happened once. It'll never happen again. I promise.
Olivia: Travis-
Travis: I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to my mother. I'll go
away. How's that sound? I'll go to Europe for a couple of
years. And then I'll come back and run the company. That was
always the plan anyway. That's a good compromise, right?
Sandra: That's what I thought you'd say.
Travis: Well, good. That takes care of the problem.
Sandra: I've already taken care of it, honey.
Travis: You didn't. Mom? Mom, don't do this, mom! Mom! Don't do this.
Mom, listen to me. Please! This is crazy.
David: Jane Powell, my friend? Got transferred to misdemeanors.
Olivia: Oh?
David: Something about incompetence, didn't research the defendant
well.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 21

Olivia: How sad for you.

David: Okay, maybe.
Olivia: Maybe what?
David: Maybe we can be friends. Maybe.

WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE:

Mellie: You okay?

Fitz: Why did you invite her to the State Dinner?
Mellie: Olivia?
Fitz: Why would you do that?
Mellie: Because you needed to see her. I trust that tonight, you'll
sleep like a baby.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES:

Gideon: Wait. Where's Amanda?

Olivia: Change of plan. You're not getting a quote from Amanda.
Gideon: Screwed by Olivia Pope. Why am I not surprised?
Olivia: You're getting something better. Something that will actually
help your career. An interview with Sandra Harding. Have you
heard of her?
Gideon: H.D.X., right? Her company's worth $300 million.
Olivia: About an hour ago, she turned her son into the U.S. attorney
for rape. Tomorrow she's going to resign. She's agreed to
tell you and only you her side of the story. Not only will
your byline be on the front page of your paper, but this
story, your exclusive story, will be chased by every major
newspaper in the country. And they'll get nothing. I know
it's not cherry blossoms, but
Gideon: Thank you. Thank you.
Olivia: Gideon, that was a meeting.
Quinn: You know, I've been meaning to tell you, it's probably
nothing, but Gideon said this thing at drinks about how he
never called Amanda, not once, and my gut says to believe
him. My gut says he's not lying.
Olivia: Reporters lie, Quinn.
Quinn: My gut says she's lying. I don't think Amanda's telling you
everything.
SCANDAL Episode 103 Hell Hath No Fury Transcript Pg. 22

OLIVIA POPES APARTMENT:

Amanda: He's mad at me. I get that. But if I could just have five
minutes alone with him, I know that I could explain.
Olivia: I know how hard this is.
Amanda: I'm sure you do.
Olivia: You're afraid that it was nothing, that he's forgotten it
already, tossed you like yesterday's paper, and moved on
without another thought, and if he's forgotten, then it's
almost as if it never happened, that what you had with him
wasn't real, and that makes you feel completely and utterly
alone. But I haven't forgotten. I know what happened. I know
it was real. And whatever you decide to do here, however you
want to play this thing out, I will stand beside you every
step of the way. If you ask me to, I will make him remember
and you will never, ever be alone in this again, but I'm
gonna need everything. Every truth, every detail. If I'm
gonna stand with you, Amanda, I need to hear all of it.
Amanda: I'm pregnant.
