Kathy: "The whole thing was about answering her questions and concerns, making her feel part of the process, making her feel valuable and loved."
Lawyer: "And did her representative Mrs. Florrick raise any concerns about coercive language at any point?"
L/G: "This one provision, under these circumstances. Not the contract as a whole."
Lawyer: "Now that Mrs. Florrick has defended herself against future malpractice suits, let's continue. This part about terminating at your discretion, that's not boilerplate?"
Kathy: "As it turns out, we're at the halfway point of this story and need to ratchet up the stakes, so I'll just go ahead and tell you that our first child died at six months of a congenital heart defect."
"I wish I were the one that were pregnant, but I'm not. But it's our child. Our choice. No one should be allowed to take that from us."

Marilyn: "Alicia's new firm is in a building owned by an appointee to the Water board."
Eli: "So? How is that a conflict? We just found out about the new firm five minutes ago."
Marilyn: "It's not about intent, it's about perception. You of all people should know..."
Eli: "But I mean, this isn't optics. This is digging. Who's going to..."
Marilyn: "Twenty-five a square foot, in a neighborhood that's usually forty."
Eli: "Jesus. Okay, valid. But the lease is signed, what's Peter supposed to do?"
Marilyn: "Reconsider the guy's candidacy. And actually do it, Eli. Don't just brush me off. Be on my team, please. Ethical issues are never obvious, and they never go away. This whole show is a demonstration of that. And that's why I raise them, because I like Peter and want to see him succeed."
Eli: "You mean Mister Florrick? I'm the only one that gets to call him Peter."

L/G: "So you're pro-choice, except in this one instance."
Kathy: "It's my baby, though. I don't see a conflict."
L/G: "Your fetus, her body. If you believe it, you believe it no matter what."
"Yes, it's her body. But she agreed to subject her body to my needs as a mother. That's what this contract was. My choice, not hers."
L/G: "Your choice to drag this girl to a clinic and have the fetus forcibly removed from her body."
