Alicia: "I mean, we can't make just one or two substantive concessions?"
David Lee: "I will NEVER SURRENDER."
Alicia: "They're not really being crazy. I saw the comps."
David Lee: "Just because you failed the Blowtorch workers, don't try to expiate your..."
Will: "Whoa, man. Chill."
Diane reiterates that -- while it does make sense they want more, since the partners aren't being secretive about spending on infrastructure -- the problem is still precedent. They can't all get what they want at the same time.
David Lee: "So we fire the ringleaders! My same plan as every other plan! I'll fire Margie right this second, I'll take her ass out. Say the word."
Will: "Setting aside the obvious human behavior parts of this you're never going to get..."
Alicia: "I mean, the lawsuits alone..."
David Lee: "Sack up, new guy. I can't keep telling you this. You're management now."
Diane: "I hate to say it, but we do have to split them up."
Will: "Let me think about it."
Uh, obviously -- not that you guys are the good guys here -- but obviously you should Charlene the ringleaders and make them happy and then promise further increases down the road. If any of you idiots had seen the way Cary looked at that yacht catalog you would have first offered him the promotion and second looked into becoming a yacht.
BACK TO WILL
Kalinda: "If I commit, what do I get?"
Will: "What do you want? More than is on this piece of paper from the imaginary new firm?"
Kalinda: "I need it, Will."
Will: "Yeah, turns out we're having a legitimate uprising today? So calm down."
Kalinda: "Who's rebelling exactly?"
Will: "The assistants, why?"
Kalinda: "No reason whatsoever."
Will: "Don't do anything stupid, like break my heart."
Kalinda: "I'm sure Robyn can cover it. You're like a family, right?"
BLOWTORCH
While this storyline is admirable in the way it spins off into every other aspect of the show, which I love, the twists are a little blatant in the case itself so I kind of don't care about it, but this part was pretty great: Charlene's payout was company stock -- four mil, actually -- and that puts her over the five percent threshold to earning a seat on the board. Meaning Charlene's not an employee -- or even an artist -- as of that settlement: She's management too.
