Alicia: "What's up?"Cary: "I did the coolest thing! I will tell you about it after you yell at Marilyn Garbanza."
Alicia: "Marilyn Garbanza, I am too busy for your nonsense. I am being totally ethical today."
Marilyn: "It's not about that. Imagine the worst thing I could be calling you about."
Alicia: "Okay, let's chat later."
Marilyn: "It's not about you being Peter's wife, it's about you as his counsel."
Alicia: "My tummy hurts now, but okay."
Will: "Doorman Botera, does Mr. Cazorla speak English?"
Botera: "No. It makes the scuba tours more interesting for sure."
Will: "And but then how could Mr. Lampe or Ms. Riggs talk to him?"
Botera: "Because Mr. Lampe is a nerd that speaks Portuguese."
Man: "My extensive knowledge! It is a curse!"
Alicia: "I thought Mr. Gardner objected to this kind of bullshit, Your Honor."
Will: "Not when it's me, sweetheart!"
Cary: "Is this about the rad thing I did with the Paisley Group trick?"
Nobody: (Knows what he's talking about.)
Geneva Pine: (Doesn't even care, just loves it.)
Alicia: "Your Honor, he is sinking our case at the profit of his own."
Judge: "Which is fine. I'm not going to order the jury to do anything about it."
Alicia: "You're handing me an appeal with this bullshit. Sir."
Judge: "You wanna say that right to my face? To the face of Victor Garber?"
Alicia: "You bet your cute ass I do, Your Honor."
Judge: "Fine, fuck you both. No more sequestration, no more limiting instructions. Just do your fucking jobs. You wanna appeal at the end? Be my guest."
Alicia: "I suddenly want to talk to you in chambers, then."
Judge: "Do you... Are you okay? You're being really awful right now."
CHAMBERS
Judge: "Wait, so you sat on juror misconduct for...?"
Will: "They're not on opposing juries and we had no idea what they were... I didn't think it was necessarily about the case, until I started losing."
Judge: "Will, did you see this happen?"
Will: "NOPE!"
That thing again, the Blue Ribbon/Chandler Bing thing but also the thing that flipped her out last week: The idea that we are all playing nicely and therefore if somebody ever tells a lie, that is the sky falling down. She chooses her words so carefully and stringently and then when somebody hits the chaos button, it freaks her out on this existential level -- just like all the objections, where it sounded to her like an accusation of being a bad person and not just playing the game. But she's learned from last week, hasn't she?
