GARDNER AND LOCKHART
Diane: "So we still haven't wrapped my exit package..."
Will: "Oh, we negotiated it. We're done with that part. Now you need to accept."
Diane: "Okay, just give me my gun control case, and let me finish out the Sonya "Kima" Rucker contract, and we're good."
Will: "And you'll advise your clients to stay on in good faith? You'll keep them in-house?"
Diane: "Yep. And oh, indemnify me against this case. I don't want my name on this."
Will: "Yeah, why would you. Good luck with, uh, life."
She mutters to herself as she's walking out, "Not with a bang..." But she's wrong. It's a bang so slow you won't hear it coming until the final clap, and then it will move too fast for anyone.
FIREWALL! TREASON!
Diane: "Hey, Alicia? I couldn't help noticing that you were fucking around in my Sonya Rucker contract when I was trying to download it. Why would that be?"
Alicia: "Shit. Uh... I don't know what computers are!"
Diane: "I want you to know that Will just confirmed it's still mine. Okay?"
Alicia: "What's a firewall? Is it dangerous?"
Diane: "Right. Nice to see you, Florrick."
She heads out to tell Kurt she's got a couple hours to get her last things in order, and decides that she wants to meet his best and closest friends.
Kurt: "But that already went so horribly, at lunch."
Diane: "Yeah, but I really want to push it. If I'm giving up this partnership and the only other things that make me happy, I want to know we can survive outside our comfort zone."
Kurt: "As long as you understand that I don't even remember the names of those jagoffs you ran into yesterday. I mean, they didn't register. I think I'll be good."
Diane: "Yeah, I'm sure you will be. Just do it."
CHRISSY
Elsbeth: "You worked at Hoffman/Ross, right? And did you ever... Make these kind of accusations over there?"
Viola: "Is this a fishing expedition?"
Elsbeth: "Basically, but this is a deposition so that's fine. Did you, Chrissy?"
Kalinda: "Hint, yes. Which we know because you texted them from your L/G work phone."
Viola: "But that's blah blah blah!"
Elsbeth: "No, much like every other time this has come up -- which is a lot, stretching back even to last season, when Veronica fell in with those coders -- it's fine."
