Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 7 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Giving Is Taking

Nancy: "But they are still not actually a union."
Cary: "Which only matters if they aren't certified by whatever court-imposed deadline."
Nancy: "Which I think should be expedited to 24 hours."
Alicia: "Fuck that."
Judge Rod: "Because I am weird and capricious, I agree to this random deadline."
He describes it as compromise, and you can see why it took him this long to make judge of this bizarre little court, because the compromise is that the people aren't fired, but on the other hand they have no time at all to get the union together. I think beyond the obvious corruption and lifeguard stuff, Judge Rod is my least favorite judge. I love watching him, and I'm not like annoyed by his quirks, but just: What? That's so dumb, you're so dumb.

There's a little moment where Will is lambasting an admin for misspelling something -- if she's faking, that's a shot across the bow; if he's just bitching, that proves their point -- and then he goes into his office, where Kalinda has gone ahead and sat at his desk.
Will: "We're not talking about money. I know you're here for that, but you already got a raise this year."
Kalinda: "I'm being pursued."
Will: "Because you never tell us anything, I don't know how insensitive it is for me to make a stalker joke right now. Or else the universe itself has decided to forget Nick Savarese ever existed."
Kalinda: "It's a new firm, top secret, and the problem is that Robyn gets healthcare. Which is equivalent compensation to thirty grand, which puts her total compensation at about equal to mine. And I'm not having it, mister. She's been here five weeks, I've been here five years."
Will: "She's exclusive. That's the price. You wanna come aboard? Or do you want freedom?"
Kalinda: "I want my value. I want a compelling reason to stay here, with you."
Will: "It's all money money money today. We're a family!"
Kalinda: "Says management. You have the privilege of looking at it that way. And you have the bliss of ignorance about this new firm you don't even believe exists."
Will: "Come on exclusively and we'll talk. Freedom has its price."
Kalinda: "I'll talk to the other guys."
Will: "The imaginary ones."
It's kind of sad because he has the same smile and the same rhythms of their friendship, their banter, but she knows it's not imaginary, so he looks a little stupid, and they're not actually having the fun cute conversation they usually have, and there's no way to tell him otherwise.
