Olivia Pope: “I don’t know what the point is. Of this. Of democracy and freedom and patriotism. If there are no white hats, if everyone is evil, if the deck is always stacked, if everyone I love is a monster, if no one is worth saving, what’s the point?”

Rowan Pope: “There is, incidentally, a point. If there are no more white hats, if the deck is always stacked, and if everyone you love is a monster, there is, in fact, someone worth saving.”

Olivia Pope: “Who?”

Rowan Pope: “Everyone! Everyone is worth saving! Even the monsters, even the demons. Everyone is worth saving. In the face of darkness, you drag everyone into the light. That is the point…. At least I like to think that is the point of you.”
