Alicia: "No! Shut up, I don't feel weird."Alicia: "Pick up pick up pick up Veronica? Mom? Do I need to explain to you why you can't tell anybody why you paid for that building or that it has to do with me? Just say it's an investment..."
Veronica: "That's exactly what it is!"
Alicia: "No, I mean like it has nothing to do with me."
Veronica: "We'll see. Cross your fingers."
Uh, like it matters. David Lee is onto you and once he's onto you, it's over. This is all just arbitrary cloak and dagger for the hell of it, now. You will not escape.
NSA
Gabe: "Somebody keeps calling the Florrick house over and over, from a number on the BOLO list -- Somali national and a known Hamas sympathizer."
Blonde: "And it's not a client?"
Gabe: "See, look -- ignore the pop-up for weird-core Taiwanese porn -- see, here. Teo Dalmar, who gave money to... There. Mouharib Mousalim."
Blonde: "That sounds like the terrorist connection. What's the content of the calls?"
Gabe: "Endless crying. Sounds like a teenage girl."
Blonde: "That is freaky, dude."
THE CASE
Alicia: "Actually, not to blow your minds, but I'm gonna request a SCIF."
Everybody: "We got a badass over here, apparently."
AUSA: "Objection! The SCIF exists to protect the government, not..."
Judge: "-- Not the people, Mr. Hortense?"
AUSA: "No yeah, I hear it. But still."
SCIF
Judge: "For real? North Korean dissidents. What is with this fuckin' guy."
L/G: "I know. But that brings on the NSA, and that scares the freedom fighters out of the deal..."
Judge: "Sure, but why this SCIF?"
L/G: "Dick-slangin' basically. Gross had the temerity to question their gag order, so they'd take anything to get back at him. Even through his attempts to bring democracy and human rights to a benighted republic, Your Honor."
Judge: "Fine, how much for the damages?"
NSA: "Fourteen grand? This is a mockery!"
Alicia: "Bitch it was a mockery when you started this bull and you know it."
Judge: "This isn't about civil liberties, Mrs. Florrick. And it's not about money either. It's about the publicity value of Neil Gross standing up to the NSA. We're all grownups here, right? So call it what it is."
