Travis: "Hey, buddy! I hope your bummer mom hasn't been bumming you out."
Billy: "So what you're saying is you didn't get me anything for my birthday? That's what I'm hearing from you?"
LOCKHART, GARDNER
Eli: "Listen, I would love an espresso machine."
Diane: "Whatever, Eli. You have broken my spirit."
Eli: "Why weren't you there to see your pro bono guy get released?"
Diane, and it's so sad: "No, I didn't do enough."
Will: "Hey, Alicia! I'm back and we really need to talk and talk and talk and process and process and process and turn everything into a huge fucking deal, okay?"
Alicia: "See, if you're in love with me, then I might be in love with you. And if I'm in love with you, then I'm pretty much a bastard. Somehow they have figured out a way to make you root against us being in love, and it's brilliant."
Will: "But like I really just can't seem to stop harassing you about..."
Alicia: "Will, please. I'm on the phone with my kids and I say I love you, and then I'm on the phone with my mother-in-law and I say I love you, too, and you know I don't love that old bitch. She is the worst. It just happens, man."
Will: "Okay, but don't you think that we should have a long boring talk about it anyway? Like you've already said several times you aren't interested in?"

Alicia: "Then do you want to hear me dumping you? Because drop it. Jesus."
Lockhart & Gardner talk about how Celeste Serrano is forming her own firm for a second, and then Diane just opens her mouth and cuts loose.
"I don't want to be careful anymore. I don't want to count every penny and worry more about failing than doing what's right. Legal Aid is losing its office space. Everybody's pulling back because of the economy. I want to bring them in-house. There's room next to Eli. He won't like it, but he'll have to live with it until we find more room. When our lawyers have free time, they can offer it to Legal Aid."
Will: "You should've broken up on the phone!"
Diane: "I want to do this, and I want your okay."
And I mean, her eyes are teared up and she's pretty much begging, not because she holds the purse strings by default and not because she wants him to lie. Just because if you're doing the right thing, you want to do it right: You want to feel good about the good, and that means no side-trips, no detours, no writing yourself a pass, no nothing. I want to do this, and I want your okay. Because at the end of the day she knew she hadn't done enough, and she knew this:
