Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 4 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT The Peter Principle
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 15 | Aired on 03.03.2013
Hellinger: "I forgive you."
Will: "I wasn't apologizing!"
Hellinger: "Unless you're moonlighting as a wine-deliverer, yes you were. And I accept. Oh, but you were cut after the first round. I guess attacking you full-frontal didn't quite fix the situation."
Will: "Ah, well. Keep the wine. And this smoldering look."
Hellinger: "Both, I will accept. And thanks."
CROSS
Elsbeth: "Mrs. Florrick, hello! Remember that speech you gave 18 October of last year? Can you tell me more about the speech you gave?"
(Objection: Relevance. Also worthy of note: The extreme stinkeye Eli can't help but give Jackie, in a sustained way throughout this scene and much of his life.)
Elsbeth: "They're saying a deal was made in connection with this speech, I'm just trying to get a picture of what went down..."
Perrotti: "[Objecting to whatever he can.]"
Elsbeth: "If the counselor wants to get on the stand, that would work out just fuckin' fine for me, Your Honor..."
Perrotti: "Shutting up now."
Elsbeth: "Okay so after your speech, you met with Eli and Saxon?"
Jackie: "If you say so, honey."
Elsbeth: "I mean, you already testified to this, dude."
Jackie: "Do you know how many times I've given a stump speech for my kid? Because I don't. Not to mention how blurry it gets since I'm constantly going off-message and talking about whatever awful crap pops into my head. Or hallucinating bugs everywhere. I mean, it's a real mess up here."
Elsbeth: "So you don't really remember this particular meeting?"
Jackie: "I have some cognitive issues. After my stroke a few months ago. I don't like talking about it, but I am a forthright individual with my own ethical compass."
Elsbeth: "So like right this second, do you remember this meeting with Eli and Saxon?"
Jackie: "...Nope."
Elsbeth: "Can you tell me that Eli Gold was even at your speech that day?"
Jackie: "You know what, no. Frankly, some days I can't even remember my name."
COURTHOUSE
Eli: "And so, um, why'd you do that? I was pretty embarrassed for you, and I hate your ass. I can't imagine how you're feeling right now."
Jackie: "I told the truth, Eli. Nobody's ever a villain in their own movie. I have never done anything I didn't think was right, no matter what it cost me, and this is one of those things. Flip a coin, maybe I would have remembered it differently. The important thing is that I was clear about why."
