GARBANZA
Marilyn: "Eli, is this Jim Moody? Did you tell him to do this? Did you even hint to do illegal things to ballet boxes?"
Eli: "I don't like the vague way you ask that. It's too broad. Did I hint?"
Marilyn: "Please just be cool. Please just this one time be cool. Consider it a shower gift."
Eli: "I make 800 decisions a day. During a campaign, 1600. I cannot micromanage every person I give a direction to. I give direction, I let them exercise their creativity."
Marilyn: "Creativity being code for shadiness and illegality?"
Eli: "Rude."
Marilyn: "Honey, what did you tell him?"
Eli: "I said we were short votes in this one precinct, and we needed to get out the vote. And then more hazily, I remember saying something like, We need to do what we can."
Marilyn: "You said this in the sleazy, creepy way you say everything?"
Eli: "That's what I'm saying. I am... I would insist that is my manner, I'm absolutist in my encouragement toward, um, underlings."
Marilyn: "So it comes down to how hardcore Mr. Moody is, then. If he believed you mean to do what he ended up doing..."
Eli: "Which is the first thing I said, note. He's a soldier."
CHRISTINA BARRETT
Is the name of a flight attendant who was deposed back when there was only one firm. She's packing for her job, and Robyn -- and, intensely, the camera -- focuses on one snapback hat that bears a logo for something called HONEY BAR.
Christina: "Did the ASA not give you my testimony already?"
Robyn: "I have questions about other things."
Christina: "Gummy bear?"
Robyn: "Robyn Burdine! Now, did Ms. Riggs do anything weird on the flight, like drink too much, or steal a magazine, or maybe do a bunch of coke out of her boyfriend's luggage?"
Christina: "A four and a nine traveling together? That was enough for me. Oh, and she lezzed out in the bathroom, I forgot that part. My bad."
Kalinda: "Knock-knock! Just the mere mention of bisexual shenanigans summons me. Can you answer some questions when you are done answering these questions?"
HON GARBER
Juries: "[More bitching.]"
Christine: "It was a full flight, so I stowed his carry-on a few rows up, which freaked him out."
