you had a bad day at work.
875
00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:44,754
I had a good one.
876
00:38:44,756 --> 00:38:47,057
Why are you working so hard
to pick a fight with me?
877
00:38:47,059 --> 00:38:49,693
I'm not. I'm just
making clear my boundaries.
878
00:38:49,695 --> 00:38:51,428
Work is a boundary.
879
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:52,829
If you have a problem with that,
then i can't help you.
880
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:54,064
That's reality.
881
00:38:57,402 --> 00:38:58,935
What?
882
00:38:58,937 --> 00:39:00,870
You want to
talk about reality?
883
00:39:00,872 --> 00:39:03,640
The reality is,
i handed mellie divorce papers.
884
00:39:03,642 --> 00:39:05,225
This has
nothing to do with --
885
00:39:05,226 --> 00:39:06,809
You and i are now free
to go out there,
886
00:39:06,812 --> 00:39:08,078
In front of the world,
arm in arm.
887
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,447
[ scoffs ]
i put our plan in motion,
888
00:39:10,449 --> 00:39:12,015
And now you seem to have
changed your mind.
889
00:39:12,017 --> 00:39:14,384
I haven't
changed my mind!
Then what is this?!
890
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:15,885
You aren't thinking.
891
00:39:15,887 --> 00:39:17,821
Do you honestly believe
this is the answer?
892
00:39:17,823 --> 00:39:19,756
Divorce papers,
going public?!
893
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:21,024
Yes, i do!
894
00:39:21,026 --> 00:39:23,693
We put this out
into the light!
895
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:24,861
We make this real!
896
00:39:24,863 --> 00:39:26,396
How can we possibly
do that?
897
00:39:26,398 --> 00:39:29,366
The minute the world finds out
about us,
898
00:39:29,368 --> 00:39:34,037
We stop being you and me
and we become a spectacle.
899
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,439
All that scrutiny,
a billion eyes on us --
900
00:39:36,441 --> 00:39:37,974
We wouldn't have a chance.
901
00:39:37,976 --> 00:39:39,509
How can we make it work
in public
902
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:41,043
When we can barely
make it work in private?
903
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:44,047
It's not a solution, fitz!
It's just another complication.
904
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:46,983
So,
tell me how we do this.
905
00:39:52,758 --> 00:39:55,625
I want you.
906
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:58,461
I want us.
907
00:39:58,463 --> 00:40:00,630
But i want to slow down.
908
00:40:00,632 --> 00:40:05,869
I want our business handled.
I want our problems fixed.
909
00:40:05,871 --> 00:40:07,570
I want to be ready...
910
00:40:07,572 --> 00:40:09,990
Before
the world is watching,
911
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,409
Because once it is,
once we're in that spotlight,
912
00:40:12,411 --> 00:40:16,613
Being picked at and scrubbed and
stretched in every direction,
913
00:40:16,615 --> 00:40:17,731
[voice breaking]
we will never
914
00:40:17,732 --> 00:40:18,848
Get the chance
to make things right.
915
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,151
If we are broken going in,
916
00:40:21,153 --> 00:40:24,621
We're not getting out,
not together.
917
00:40:24,623 --> 00:40:26,689
They will destroy us.
918
00:40:26,691 --> 00:40:29,926
That's reality, fitz.
919
00:40:33,632 --> 00:40:34,864
[ sighs ]
920
00:40:44,209 --> 00:40:46,676
[ sighs ]
okay.
921
00:40:52,217 --> 00:40:53,450
We wait.
922

[ sighs ]
923
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:00,824
Until we're ready.

[ abby clears throat ]
925
00:41:12,504 --> 00:41:13,903
Sir...
926
00:41:13,905 --> 00:41:15,472
There's something
you need to see.
927
00:41:21,246 --> 00:41:24,781
Lovers of liberty,
the end of a fairy tale.
928
00:41:24,783 --> 00:41:27,584
Something is rotten within
the walls of our white house.
929
00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:29,586
Sources tell me
that any marriage
930
00:41:29,588 --> 00:41:31,254
With the first lady
of the united states,
931
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:35,158
Newly minted senator
mellie grant, is a charade.
932
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,193
I'm told she was not,
in fact,
933
00:41:37,195 --> 00:41:39,162
Too ill to attend
the state dinner
934
00:41:39,163 --> 00:41:41,130
As we, the good, taxpaying
citizens of this nation,
935
00:41:41,132 --> 00:41:43,366
Had been told.
936
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:45,601
I have it on good authority
that trusted adviser
937
00:41:45,604 --> 00:41:48,105
Olivia pope
938
00:41:48,106 --> 00:41:50,607
Has found her way
into the president's bed.
939
00:41:50,609 --> 00:41:52,809
Before the high-minded liberal,
feminist elite media
940
00:41:52,811 --> 00:41:54,811
Begins howling
charges of slander,
941
00:41:54,813 --> 00:41:58,548
These are not merely rumors --
these are facts.

Photos of ms. Pope
943
00:42:00,218 --> 00:42:03,786
Lurking in the residence of
the white house after hours.

Lovers of liberty,
the time has come
945
00:42:10,295 --> 00:42:12,529
For this godless,
immoral administration
946
00:42:12,531 --> 00:42:14,764
To answer for its crimes.
947
00:42:14,766 --> 00:42:17,200
Yes, america's truth-seeking
freedom missiles

target --

You, mr. President.
