Cary: "We can paint the offices one at a time, so there's always room for the rest of us..."Alicia: "I'll figure out furniture..."
Carey: "Actually I just ran five blocks to tell you that the Department of Health shut down our building for fumigation. Anonymous tip."
F/A: "How long?"
Carey: "Two months."
F/A: "Darn that Will Gardner!"
Alicia: "No way. This is the most David Lee move of all time. He's calling us vermin. He can't just be evil, he has to be bitchy evil."
Cary: "I'm gonna feel entirely awful when I figure out how he knew our address."
Alicia: "Two months will kill us, we can't wait. But where?"
They turn to her as one, like the Village of the Damned, eyes shining, and she just rolls hers, because of course. Mommy forever. The problem with them being the "new Will and Diane" is that they never talked about which one was which. Obviously Carey is the new David Lee, that's why they both came on as regulars, but is Alicia really the Diane? Was she ever? Wouldn't Diane have liked her more, if she were? Wouldn't she have indulged Cary more than she did, if he were the Will?
"What offends me most," she might have been saying, "Is that you really were my favorite. You just thought that would make a difference."
FLORRICK RESIDENCE
There are baby lawyers everywhere, like a safari habitat of lion cubs, rolling on their backs and scrabbling over bones, when Grace leads her Bible Study group through the living room. Pretty maids all in a row, with their school uniforms and dazed virgin smiles.
Alicia: "The heck is this?"
Grace: "Bible Study. The heck is this?"
Alicia: "A law firm."
Grace: "Because it looks like a frat party."
Alicia: "That too, my dear. Go cover up your entire body please."
GUB OFC
In the rush and nonstop of this episode, you might be forgiven for forgetting this scene, but for my money it's one of the most intensely sad of all of them. Diane doesn't want to be there, sitting in a literal lobby of a government office, begging not to be held accountable, punished, for things she only barely did.
"All I did was tell them where to find her, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. I didn't point the gun, I didn't pull the trigger. I don't even work there."
