Alicia: "I need to make a phone call."
SHAMROCK
Diane: "Whoa, our Matthew Ashbaugh? Or I mean, Alicia's? That's fucked up. To say nothing of the loss in revenue. Put her on speaker. How you holdin' up, kid?"
Alicia: "I didn't really know him. I knew him better than anybody else on Earth, but since I didn't know that and still don't, it doesn't count. I'm weirded out. Listen, they want to talk about cases..."
Diane: "Attorney-client privilege. Yeah. Listen, that's sticky when they're dead."
Will: "I don't think this merits it. Maybe if the survivors give the okay."
Diane: "In the meantime, be circumspect..."
Eli: "-- Diane, can Peter and I talk to you a minute? It is about the hugest thing."
Diane: "Got a whale on the line, TTYL."
When Laura Hellinger -- whom we've last seen going up against L/G, as Peter's ASA, but who's come out looking okay and in Will's case pretty flirtatious -- arrives, she gapes at Alicia's gorgeous self. They laugh, immediately dispelling any adversarial nonsense outside the courtroom. Alicia rescued her from an entirely other planet and brought her here, set her up with a job and no strings attached. They kind of have to love each other; they met on the battlefield of women vs. women, they have to love each other forever.
Peter: "First of all, thanks for pretending to be Maddie Hayward that time, it was great."
Diane: "I'm not nearly creepy enough to sub for Kresteva, I'm afraid..."
Peter: "Remember when that slut Justice Ludwig died in a car accident?"
Diane: "[A sound of some sort.]"
Peter: "Did you know he was an Illinois Supreme Court Judge? Like as his job?"
Diane: "[Bites her lip until it bleeds a little bit, nodding.]"
Peter: "Do you know who nominates his replacement?"
Diane: "[Sparks come out of her hairdo.]"
Peter: "Any thoughts on this?"
Diane: "If you are asking me for a list of names, I will slap the tall out of you."
Peter: "No, I wouldn't do that."
Diane: "Then how long do I have to decide?"
Peter: "End of the dinner, actually. DNC is insane as usual."
Diane: "So like three hours?"
