Will: "You're fired."
Alicia: "No."
Will: "That St. Alicia trick won't work. Don't push this one."
Alicia: "I'm a partner. You need a majority vote of the Executive Board, and then a vote of the full board..."
Everywhere, they're staring. Robyn Burdine can't move. He tells her stand right there, document everything, and he leaves, to call security. The second he's gone, she grabs her landline and then demands Robyn's phone.
Robyn: "Do we tell Cary? Or somebody?"
Alicia: "This is part of it. I can't tell you want to do. At some point, you and I are going to be deposed about everything we are about to do right now. You're on your own."
Robyn: "So... I'll tell Cary."
Alicia: "Point of interest, Will's gathering the Executive Committee and the full board, which will take about an hour."
Then she calls the realtors, to ask to move in a week early. It's smooth, and it's beautiful, and she knows exactly how awful she is.
Robyn whispers her way down the hallway, to Carey Zepps and Beth the Redhead: "We have a half-hour," she tells them, to keep them moving, and they run to get their files and contacts, just as Will's collecting Lyman for a Quorum, and telling the IT guy to lock down every computer. "Oh, and one of the partners."
David Lee comes alive, of course, with hands outstretched; a mad scientist cackling behind the Jacob's Ladder and Tesla coils. "IT'S ALIVE! IT WANTS TO EAT FACES!"
David Lee: "I told you they were up to something, I told you they were screwing us..."
Will: "We've got almost a Quorum. We need one more."
David Lee: "It would be pleasing, aesthetically, if Alicia were here for it. She just has to be in the meeting, not the..."
Will: "Okay, that's gross. But what about Diane? Same basic idea."
David Lee: "No, fuck her too. Fuck everybody!"
Will: "We haven't signed off on the exit package, that's how we found out because I gave her Sonya Rucker. Diane, get in here."
Lyman: "What's going on? We're firing Alicia all of a sudden?"
Will: "All those in favor?"
Their hands go up, except for Diane's.
David Lee: "FFS."
Diane: "I know. Just give me a second."
The IT guy directs Will to Carey, the third conspirator, and soon enough he's on his way downstairs too. "If you need your car keys, you can wait in the lobby." He gives Beth the big eye, as he's going, and then he's gone.
