Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 2 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Feeding The Rat

By Jacob Clifton | Season 3 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.16.2011

Essentially, the idea of waiting ten or fifteen years for the current commissioner to die so that he could fight for it at that point sounds depressing. Um, it totally does sound depressing. Why would she even think that he would... Oh, right. Batshit crazy.

Will: "What a sad thought that is. Losing what I love now to chase something in the future."
Celeste: "What do you love? You said losing what I love now."
Will: "My job!"
Celeste: "I make words not make sense. Simply by saying them."

Celeste: "I don't believe you. I don't believe you love it. What you love is winning. And you can't win big enough at Lockhart, Gardner. This is your dream. What happened to pursuing your dream?"
Will: "What happened to work? Not everybody can pursue their dreams. Someone has to work."
Celeste: "Whoa. That is so sad!"
Will: "Not especially."

They're both right. It's just harder to see it as a fair fight when you consider that baseball commissioner was his dream. Is that like, code? For a job that is actually fun? Like how Railroad Commissioner is also in charge of whatever, carnivals and puppet shows. Is it like that? I know Will loves baseball a great deal, but I have been thinking about it all week and I can't imagine what a Commissioner of Baseball would do all day. Is that a forty-hour week? Maybe he solves crimes or something the other six days of the week? Maybe The Commish was short for Baseball Commissioner. Maybe that's why Batman was friends with that one guy, Gary Oldman. Free tickets.

TRIAL

Obviously it was the original witness that did the shooting. Obviously that is true. Kalinda figures it out some way where the witness said something he couldn't have known from where he was standing, and then they're like, "Let's go talk to Cary," and then suddenly the guy is getting released.

Cute Young Wife: "I've always waited for bad things to happen. Every day. Travis sees the good things. And I'm always waiting for the bad."
Alicia: "You sound like a miserable person to be around."
Cute Young Wife: "I don't want to be like that anymore. The worst thing happened, and we're still here."
Alicia: "Yeah, but are you really going to change or are you just saying that?"

Cute Young Wife: "Will you thank the other two lawyers? You know, the head of litigation and the named partner that somehow you hoodwinked into working with you on this open-and-shut pro bono case?"
Alicia: "Actually, it was the prosecutor that dropped the case. And then also our ex-friend Kalinda, who has a magic space telephone."
