Quotes 

• Jake Ballard : And one more thing.

  Olivia Pope : What?

  Jake Ballard : Stock your damn fridge.

  [beginning to undress] 

  Jake Ballard : If I'm gonna be your fake boyfriend all day, I'm gonna come home at the end of it and drink real beer and eat real food. Wine is not beer, and pop corn is definitely not food.

  Olivia Pope : What are you doing?

  Jake Ballard : I'm gonna take a shower. It's been a long day, and I want to wash it off me before we have pretend sex.

• Olivia Pope : [as Jake enters her apartment]  What?

  Jake Ballard : Hello to you, too. You called me. You said it was important. You told me to come home early. I used my official "boyfriend of Olivia Pope" key.

  Tom Larsen : I believe it's how I can help you, sir.
