F/A: "Just these two, don't worry. The compulsory rights are to cover the song, the derivative rights protect your changes to the song."Murray: "We get 0.004 cents whenever it gets played on Spotify. Timely mention of that."
It is decided that they will visit Rebel Kane, who likes to do botany in his greenhouse with his thicky wages, because how surprising that a joke rapper would also love orchids.
REBEL KANE
Rowby: "So we only got one kind of copyright and now we need the other one."
Alicia: "I believe you know my husband? Peter Florrick, the Governor of Illinois?"
Rebel Kane: "I voted for him! Or I would, except felony. I was a struggling artist once, too, and will give you a derivative copyright. How much is that usually?"
Alicia: "Like five grand."
Rebel Kane: "Name your next song after me, and I will give it to you for free."
Alicia: "Money needs to change hands. Even just like five dollars."
Rebel Kane: "Then give me five dollars! I need orchid money!"
Alicia: "You are awesome."
Everybody giggles at how well things are going; it's a fairly charming scene.
F/A
Preston: "...This place is a shithole."
Will: "Hey, don't talk bad about my... I mean, okay. I mean yeah, what a craphole."
Alicia: "What in the fuck are you doing here?"
Will: "Helping my good friend Burl Preston. What are you doing here, besides fending off rats."
Cary escorts Preston to what we're calling a conference room that is actually just a medieval torture chamber that used to be a t-shirt factory, and Alicia hangs back, walking with Will. Just in front of him, so he can't see her face, which isn't doing much anyway. Sort of thinky, sing-songy irritation. What she says is matter-of-fact, and beautiful, and if you know Alicia at all you can tell she's being more of a lawyer right now than a woman, even though she's talking about boy/girl things.
Alicia: "You should ... get over it."
Will: "Get over what?"
Alicia: "Me."
He loves it, and tries to start a fight about how this is just a coincidence so she can say it's not a coincidence and they can throw down and be flirty and mad at each other, but she cuts that whole idea dead and just doubles her pace because that is always her secret weapon: Going so cold so fast you'd think she has sudden amnesia. It's effective, but so devastating. Giving is taking, but so is not-giving also taking.
