Diane, at his elbow: "ChumHum. Cary told me. Agos Cary."Will: "So, ChumHum. For example. For fucking example, ChumHum. Motion to remove Alicia Florrick of her duties as..."
Robyn: "They don't know that I'm with you. Should I stay here, after you go?"
Alicia: "I can't say anything about that."
Robyn: "I think I can feed you stuff from the inside..."
Alicia: "I can't even hear you say that. Stop talking."
A client, Candace, drops by just then for a deposition, which Alicia has forgotten entirely about in the last hour. She parts the guards with a glance and welcomes her in, embarrassed.
Candace: "What the heck is this? Are you under arrest, or...?"
Alicia: "I am ... in the process of forming my own firm, and I think I'm being pushed out today."
Candace: "But you're my lawyer!"
Alicia: "Will's your lawyer, too."
Candace: "Sure, but... Can I come with you? How does that work?"
Alicia: "I cannot speak to that at this time. Oh, and here comes Will."
With security standing by, he formally explains that after a vote by the full partnership, she's been officially removed from her position, and then asks them to escort her out. It's a long walk. Everybody looks shell-shocked. Some of the women in the hallway are crying. Everybody looks disgusted, maybe, or that's just how she feels. The walls are all made of glass: Layer on layer of the men and women she told herself she wasn't really betraying.
He presses the elevator button for her, and stands waiting for the door to close.
Will: "After we ascertain whether there are Lockhart/Gardner materials on it, we will messenger your phone to you."
Alicia, choking: "This was never meant personally."
Will: "I don't give a damn."
What she means is that she help him apart, in another room of her head, all this time. "I'm gonna be thinking about that for the rest of the day," he said a few hours ago, and she smiled, almost winking. "Just the rest of the day?"
What he means is, intentions are bullshit. What he means is, we're in the result What he means is, it doesn't matter how many years it took you to hear the song, Matthew Ashbaugh never stopped singing it.
The doors closed on Kalinda, eventually, and the elevator hummed, and she collapsed against the wall: Ideas about justifications aren't justifications, and justifications don't make it go away.
