Scandal (TV Series)

The Lawn Chair (2015)

Joshua Malina: David Rosen

Quotes 

• David Rosen : I can't just go marching into every sensitive situation trying to rush the justice process. There are laws, okay? Ones I'm being paid by the US Government to uphold.

  Olivia Pope : To protect people who look like you!

  David Rosen : Oh, come on, Liv!

  Olivia Pope : You talk about fairness and justice like it's available to everybody! It's not! That man standing over his son's body thinks he knows he's going to end up in one of two places a jail cell or a drawer in the morgue. And to hell if I can't look him in the eye and tell him he's wrong.

• [last lines] 

  President Fitzgerald Grant : [as he enters the Oval Office]  Mr. Parker. I am so sorry for your loss.

  Clarence Parker : Please Call me Clarence. My son's name was... Brandon.

  [begins weeping] 

  David Rosen : [cut to press conference]  Ours is a country of laws, but those laws failed Brandon Parker tonight. And I can only hope in the weeks ahead, we can begin to understand why.
