Cary: "Pshh, we just tell 'em. New day, honey. They can suck it!"Alicia: "I always forget how little you are. You get drunk and brawly so fast."
Cary: "For real, though. Circle of life. They left their old firms to start L/G."
Alicia: "Yeah, that's true. Wait, I have this Death Row appeal on Thursday..."
Cary: "We got time, we still need office space. Unless you're into the Sweeney offer?"
Alicia: "Imagine trying to pee in a bathroom Colin Sweeney paid for. Do you know how small they make cameras now?"
Cary: "Lol. Oh and hey! Congratulations, Mrs. First Lady!"
Alicia: "Ha! Can you believe I totally forgot that part?"
She's a little bit weirded out by that; moreso, though, it's thrilling. At that place it was all lights and cameras and handshaking and fake hugs and that's when Peter's most alive and she loves that about him. She loves congratulating him and watching the congratulations of others fill him, like a beautiful balloon taking flight. But here, now, in her gracious open-concept dining room with Cary and a bottle of wine: That's the future too. That's her part of the future.
DEATH ROW
Alicia and Diane have been waiting for two hours, ten minutes, while they try to get a line so they can give Eddie Allan Fornum his lethal injection. Two counts of first-degree murder during a carjacking in 1999. One of the moms turns around slowly to stare at Diane and Alicia, and it's bone-chilling, but this is the one time I don't think it's that shitty to do: She's been waiting almost fifteen years for justice, and these lawyers come alone with appeal after appeal after appeal. She's allowed to see nobody's side but her own on this one.
He's strapped to a table, just the other side of the window, when they finally raise the shades. They fuss with a microphone for a minute, and Eddie gives his last words.
"I'm sorry to everyone here. To my new lawyers, Diane and Alicia, I have a favor to ask of you both. Please, if you could go see my mom. I was her only son, and I was a disappointment. To the parents of Miss Henning and Miss Gore, I am sorry what happened to your daughters, but I did not do this. I wish I could say what was happening here tonight was just, because that might bring you some... Because that might make..."
His IV pops out, horribly, dropping blood onto the floor; they abruptly close the shades again and get to work trying to find a vein. Diane hops up to stare through the window and the screen, and the CO's try to muscle her back; she demands to see the warden, and eventually he produces himself.
