Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 56 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Don't Talk Too Loud
By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 14 | Aired on 03.16.2014
First try is not-quite-downtrodden, bullet-pointed: "Mr. Gardner, I'm a worthy lawyer who needs a job. Women are underrepresented in this business, and I shouldn't be overlooked just..."
Second try is flirty and confident; it's the winner. She grins, remembering. Matthew Ashbaugh's symphony hangs heavy in the air.
"...You did not! I don't look anything like those photos anymore... Ha! So um, you said I should call if I got a chance..."
SL&G
Jackie leans over her like a judge in a court of law, like a vulture; impossibly looming.
Jackie: "What are you wearing that for?"
Alicia: "Bitch, you weren't even here! This is just my imagination."
Jackie: "Don't change the subject. You opened the door to this the second you put pen to paper."
Alicia: "Fine. I bought this because it's businesslike..."
Jackie: "Three hundred bucks?"
Alicia: "Yeah, that's what a good dress costs."
Jackie: "Your husband is wasting away in prison, and you're seducing your way into..."
Alicia: "I'm right where your son put me. I have two kids."
Jackie: "No, you like nice things."
It's that darn One Percent Doctrine.
"...So go be a whore."

Alicia: "Not much to say, honestly. I'm a mother, a wife. Now, a disgraced spouse..."
Will: "Yeah, sorry again about..."
Alicia: "That was me making a joke. I'm making light of the elephant. I am something of a wag. Or I used to be..."
Will: "Fine, it's very funny. And but now you have a job, so that's...?"
Alicia: "Well, here's the thing about that, which is, no I don't. It was a job that turned into a paralegal position that turned into something perilously referred to as an internship, right before my eyes. I was like What?"
Will: "What about here?"
Alicia: "That hadn't even occurred to me! Just kidding. I am toxic, though. And thirteen years out of practice technically..."
Will: "Look, either this is an interview or it's not but you gotta stop moving the goalposts. Talk yourself up or don't."
