Peter: "Sorry, but yeah. The dots are blurry and the lines between them even moreso, but it lines up. And frankly this dude is still kill-crazy from my wife leaving him, so it's scary. I'd like to keep the genie in the bottle, at least until we figure out whether he released it in the first place. Or until he starts to remember things right."COURT
Cary: "Okay, Howard. The SA is panicking and they want at least one win out of this, so they've cut your offer down to four years, parole in two."
Howard: "Tell me I can win."
FA: "Nope. Can't say, at this point."
Howard: "I am a mathematician. Think about the likelihood of me even meeting Darla, times the likelihood of us being in love... We beat the odds, which makes it even less likely we'll beat the odds here."
Alicia: "I want to tell you what to do, but I can't tell you what to do and, for once, I have no idea what you even should do."
Howard: "Fine. Two years, I'll do it."
She weeps as they drag him off to jail, and I guess they really did love each other, but we have no idea what would have happened if they'd stuck it out. Or if the fourth-years had stuck it out, and there was only one jury: Maybe sometimes there is no higher good.
FOR E.G.
Eli: "So your conclusion on this matter is that you can't make a conclusion in this matter? You're saying this as the person in charge of deciding the ethics of things?"
Marilyn: "You guys have been cockblocking me since this video showed up. It pisses me off enough to screw you, but that would be unethical on my part. Until people start telling the truth, I can't protect you. And maybe if you do tell the truth, I can't protect you. So, higher good. No report at this time."
Eli: "But who has done this to us?"
Marilyn: "Obviously Will Gardner. Remember him? The guy who found the video and tried to show it to the..."
Eli: "Uh, plus like a million things. You're new, you don't know about all the factors."
Marilyn: "Which I don't know about, because you guys are being sketchy about everything. So fuck it. Your takeaway is that, even though you won by eight points and it doesn't matter, you're still screwed. I won't take it to the Feds, but that's where it's headed unless you trust me starting right now."
Eli: "Can't do it."
