Eli: "You need to look at the guest list before you go to any party."
Peter: "That's nice if you were teaching me to be a snotty basic bitch, but in fact you are instructing me on how to be married to my wife."
Eli: "Alicia has plenty of clients you don't want to be photographed with. This is my actual goddamn job, I'm not just being Eli about it."
Peter: "And you're great at your job, but I'm going to this party. She needs to believe that I believe in her, so she'll believe back in me. You've only ever been married to Parker Posey's crazy ass, you have no concept of marital realpolitik."
SWEET F/A
Against my better judgment, I kind of adore Damian Doyle. Like right now, he's tossing that ball against the wall and catching it, in such a way that it's nowhere near the receptionist's actual head but somehow does make the whole thing seem fraught with danger, like, just by using this ball for its intended purpose it somehow becomes a coded indictment of their shitty office space/operation. Here we have the kind of place you can bounce a ball and nobody will even yell at you, he's saying. Try that shit with Diane Lockhart and you'll be swallowing teeth.
Alicia: "Okay so I just have a few questions. I get my capital contribution, right, when I sign this? And it has no impact on any profit participation earned during my employment at the former L/G?"
Damian: "Let's just say this contract has nothing to do with profit participation."
Alicia: "So it would have no impact on..."
Damian: "-- That would ... follow."
Alicia: "It would follow that this contract will have no impact on any profit participation during my time at Lockhart-Gardner? Open that gorgeous Irish mouth and say it clearly in the direction of Robyn Burdine for me. Project your voice if you could."
Damian: "...Okay, gotta go. Nice talking to you, Florrick. Stay gold, Robyn Burdine."
He walks out whistling that same song Kalinda was driving to, before he came in here for this epic war of words and ball-bouncing, so you know he's feeling her. They are both stray cats that are better than most of even the strayest of cats, at surviving. Access to levels of morality not even the most nihilistic of the depression sex rats knew about.
When Robyn plays back their convo, she realizes she's had SmackTalk activated, which is a real iPhone app for once -- I get that you're confused, since it's exactly the kind of thing this show would invent and pretend is real -- and it makes their voices all high and sped-up, like Chipmunks, with occasional farting.
