What’s wrong? You pace in circles when something’s wrong. When you’re just thinking it’s back and forth but when something’s wrong…circles…
Did you need something, Mr. President?
See it used to sound sexy when you called me Mr. President and now it just sounds like I’m a gym teacher
Did you need something?
The Sally Hemmings Thomas Jefferson comment was below the belt
Because it’s so untrue
You’re playing the race card on the fact that I’m in love with you. Come on. Don’t belittle us. It’s insulting and beneath you and designed to drive me away I’m not going away.
I don’t have to drive you away. You’re married you have children you’re the leader of the free world….you’re away but definition you’re away you’re unavailable
So this is about Mellie?
NO. No this is…I smile at her and take off my clothes for you. I wait for you. I watch for you. My whole life is you I can’t breathe because I am waiting for you you own me you control me I belong to you ______________
YOU OWN ME! You control me I belong to you! You think I don’t want to be a better man you think I don’t want to dedicate myself to my marriage? You don’t think I want to be honorable to be the man you voted for? I love you, I am in love with you, you are the love of my life. My every feeling is controlled by the look on your face. I can’t breathe with you I can’t sleep without you. I wait for you I watch for you. I EXIST for you. If I could escape all this?…and run away with you?…There’s no Sally or Thomas here. You’re nobody’s victim, Liv. I belong to YOU. We’re in this TOGETHER.
That scene brought me to tears, best scene ever. TG should get the Emmy to Best Actor just for that scene.
What Fitz said was real, it was truth, it was life. I think in that scene in the garden is one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen, on television, a movie a stage play. There was so much power in the words spoken by both Olivia and Fitz. When he said those words to her and then walked away and when you saw Olivia’s face, it was then she really realized that this man, the President, and as they like to say the “leader of the free world”, was her soulmate, the other half of her heart. He wasn’t just using her for sex. Now that’s what you call being “All In”
could not agree with you more. so well said.
Oh no! I left a long comment last night and its not here! I hope it didn’t get eaten by the blogiverse.
it’s there now! I set it up for me to ‘approve’ every comment otherwise I don’t get notified there’s a new comment
That is rich! This scene is why we all clamor to be in love.
The talents of both of these actors is SCREAMING at the audience in this scene! This level of acting is rarely seen on tv and both deserve awards for the perfection of their craft! Well done!
