ASHBAUGH
Anyway, Jackie just called to ask if she can bring a friend to the party, which doesn't really come up again so it'll probably be something weird for the January premiere, but also just adds to the spinning plates of her life. Alicia's voice is always firm when she speaks with Jackie, because Jackie is a fucking piece of work, but she works so hard in all areas of life to never betray her annoyance: This, more than anything, gives her away as she's heading into court to see Will again.
"Jackie, I'm heading into court right now, what can I help you with." Just the exhaustion in it, the "Fuckin' I already fed you today, you insatiable monster. WHAT."
Will joins her at the foot of the tree, and it's less a choice than a natural response that she refuses to dance around it with him.
Q: "Good morning, Mrs. Florrick."
A: "Good morning to you!"
Q: "You've been Mr. Ashbaugh's attorney about two years, did Mr. Ashbaugh ever threaten to fire you as his attorney over those two years?"
A: "Yes."
Answer the questions as asked, she always tells them. Never give them more than they ask for: Not in your voice, your face, your body, but certainly not in words. Those get written down.
There was a thing two years ago, when they were at Matthew's apartment in New York. 9/23/11. They were in love, or in a kind of love, and Matthew could tell. They were both at once.
She was wearing a demure blue number. Will was her best and oldest friend; they made love on a balcony. It was the happiest she'd ever been.
A: "...I wasn't finished. Mr. Ashbaugh thought that he should be allowed to testify to some of the concerns he had over the board members. We argued that was not essential to the facts."
Q: "And did you change his mind? Did you claim Mr. Ashbaugh was in love with you?"
A: "...Yep. I knew I could use that love to manipulate him, I said it was a possibility."
She knows him because she loves him; she refuses to play the fox. If you laid her decision tree down over his, they'd be isometric. It's for the best that we are unmappable.
Q: "And so, did you manipulate him into signing off on his will?"
A: "Sure as hell did, Mr. Gardner."
Cary: "Your Honor, can I request a brief what the fuck?"
Dunaway: "No, we're good. Alicia, you were saying?"
