• [first lines] 

  Mellie Grant : Fitz. Fitzgerald! There are nine other bedrooms in this place besides our room and this nursery. You are sweating up the baby's sofa. I will have to have it cleaned.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : If I sleep in one of the other bedrooms, the staff will know.

  Mellie Grant : So then they'll know.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Mellie, if the staff knows, then the press will know in under 24 hours.

  Mellie Grant : Good for them.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Really? You're fine with the press knowing that we don't sleep in the same bed?

  Mellie Grant : Tell the press that pregnancy is making me toss and turn, so you're sleeping in another bed so that I can be more comfortable, tell them that you have been staying up late in bed trying to come up with new ways to keep America safe and Democratic and free, and you don't want to disturb my pretty little head with all that thinking. Or tell them that I don't want to spend my nights sleeping next to a man who gets erections in his sleep dreaming of Olivia Pope. Your choice. I don't care.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Relax. I'm kidding. For now.

• Mellie Grant : [standing with puke on her skirt]  I am holding the sticky hands of children who pick their noses and telling their idiot parents to do their job and immunize their kids. How stupid do you have to be not to immunize your kid? Isn't it just natural selection if your unimmunized, snot-nosed brat gets smallpox in the 21st century? And I have to smile and get puked on? This is my platform? This is what I'm supposed to do all day?
