Alicia: "Your music was infectious! Here is your money in the form of a check."
Rowby: "Give it to Marshall and also can I ask a lawyer question?"
Cary: "This is a party, bro. Also, we are millionaire-type lawyers."
Rowby: "Well, hang on because this is maybe a millionaire-type problem."
F/A: "We are just tipsy enough to give you the time of day. Proceed."
He plays them the original YouTube video, which takes place at a bowling alley, and then the Glee ("Drama Camp") version, and they are identical. In both cases, a joke about a joke made by a black guy reverses the polarity of the joke, making it a joke about black guys.
Alicia: "This is a Rebel Kane song to begin with, though."
Rowby: "You are a down lady! How did you know that, about the butts?"
Alicia: "My husband knew him in prison. Were you not aware that my husband is a friend to the community? I have Donna Brazile and Lemond Bishop at my party! The two kinds of black people."
Hair shop, don't be late / Waitin' on her Section 8
Sometimes Shorty make me sick / But she ain't nothing but a tricky trick
Cary: "Charming. So let me guess, you covered this song and didn't get the rights?"
Marshall: "We got a compulsory license for the cover song. Our manager Murray did, anyway."
Rowby: "You can see them! Singing our song! That little gay fella. Same song!"
Cary: "Same song, two covers. Not getting it."
Rowby: "No but it's like, how they covered it. White people singing black stuff."
Alicia: "I mean, are you really suggesting you want to sue Fox for this shit? Do you know how much money a TV network can throw at you? You'll die. They'll straight-up kill you."
Cary: "And yet I feel like you're about..."
Alicia: "It's David and Goliath!"
Cary: "That makes it sound even more like you're going to..."
Rowby: "I'm talking about $2.3M here. This song's been the top-selling iTune for two months."
Cary: "No further questions."
LG
F. Murray Abraham, Burl Preston, is an LA lawyer we haven't seen in a while. He shows up at LG looking to rumble with Alicia, who no longer works there, and the receptionist again runs away with her headset still on her head, clotheslining herself like always. But this is a tricky trick, because the partners are having a big fight about Will Gardner's megalomania.
