Eli: "How long are you in town?"
Natalie: "A few days. Hey, congrats on the governorship!"
Eli: "And to you, on joining the Outsider Group."
Natalie: "We follow each other. That's adorable. We're adorable."
Eli: "Well, it was nice seeing you. Hey, can we have dinner? Tonight? What time is it, can we have dinner right now? Can we be having dinner instead of this conversation?"
Natalie: "Obviously. Call me."
GARDNER
Natalie's lobbyist boss Joe Pallotta we've been hearing so much about calls finally, and Will spends the entire conversation with him in one ear and tattoo girl's tongue in the other ear. They are like a Bond villain and moll from a Cinemax porn parody of a James Bond movie. It makes my tummy rumble. Anyway, they all try to figure out why Natalie hasn't come by like Joe P just said she was going to, and then David remembers blowing her off. In all fairness, he does make a Macaulay Culkin face when this happens, which kind of makes up for it.
Lyman: "It was a good meeting! She liked me!"
Diane: "Meaning that it was not a good meeting, and she did not like you. What was the case about?"
Lyman: "Some Mexican illegal alien thing?"
Kalinda: "OMG."
Lyman: "I complimented her..."
Diane: "OMG."
Lyman: "I told her how great Mexicans are..."
Will: "OMG."
Lyman: "How sexy they are... Oh wait, there it is. I hear it. I heard it that time."
Reception: "Yeah, and then she asked for Alicia Florrick's address. And I gave it to her, because that girl looked like she had seen and then been sexually harassed by a racist ghost. She needed a win."
On the other hand, Tomas just got deported. It was some random roundup and he wasn't excused even though it was in the visa, so now his wife is calling Alicia from outside like, the very bus that they are putting him on. And guess where it's going? Nuevo Laredo, population Lalo Hierra. I hope you're not attached to your stomach or your head, Tomas Ruiz, because in a couple hours you are not going to be attached to those things in a very real sense.
KALINDA
So while Alicia -- pissed as hell because not only did AUSA Dolan pretty much just murder her client out of pique, but also took away her bad-assest moment since the "suite of offices" speech a month ago -- works that out, Kalinda gives us the rarest of all Kalinda faces: Vague surprise.
