Man: "No, because of love."Cary: "Okay, well, they're going to think the nine played the four. So you're good."
Lady: "What about my jury?"
Will: "You're a pretty lady, you're used to acting stupid when it suits you. Right? Because of how men and women can be about women?"
Lady: "They want me to be a pawn, because it takes me down a peg from being a nine if I'm an idiot."
Man: "Wait, so now you're saying our best chance is if we're not in love? Because of your dumb-ass split juries? That's kind of elegant."
Will: "Alicia, do you see your juror talking to my juror? John Cariani and Daniel Johnsen, sittin' in an alcove, D-I-S-C-U-S-S-I-N-G the case over there."
Alicia: "Yeah, that's no good. Guess we'll just keep quiet about that until it blows up in my face."
(Spoiler alert, they are actually just being gay together, but it doesn't really matter. If you're the kind of person that goes Awww just from seeing two men holding hands, basically you deserve the life you are living.)

Kalinda: "Thanks for meeting me."
Cary: "As long as I can be really rude to you about it."
Kalinda: "I miss you."
Cary: "I know we rarely have Previouslies on this show, but do you not remember how you took advantage of me on my very scariest day, then pulled out the Jenga of my heart, all so Will would give you a raise?"
Kalinda: "That, and because I couldn't imagine starting a company with Alicia unless she invited me. But yeah. You know how seriously I take work!"
Cary: "What about friendship?"
Kalinda: "Uh, I spent three months covering your ass before you left, friend. Did you think Will wouldn't be all over me? You really can't imagine how close I got to getting fired over that?"
(Also, somebody named Bruce Springsteen sings over most of the scenes in this entire episode. He seems to feel pretty strongly, not to mention loudly, about this scene in particular.)
He grants the point, but right then the bartender brings the drink Kalinda insisted on buying him, and spills it all over Cary. There is a sad but not surprising moment where Kalinda "tries" not to sneak a peek at the coincidental text message he gets on his phone the second he leaves to clean up, and then of course she does: About Paisley Group getting ready to jump. She hops onto his phone real quick to read the details from Robyn about how Mr. Paisley's granddaughter Haley was rung up on solicitation and LG isn't moving fast enough on it.
