Kluger: "Maybe, hang on."Alicia: "This is not going to fly."
Cary: "Whatever. The real question is whether we tell Diane."
Alicia: "Tell Diane what? That we aren't up to the challenge?"
Cary: "No, silly. That LG is clearly also being tapped?"
Alicia: "Ooh, that is a good question. Damn."
NSA
That DEA guy Cheswick comes into the NSA to cover his ass, which is amazing; both NSA Boys are also at the table.
Cheswick: "I didn't do anything wrong! I did what I said I..."
NSA Boss: "You ruined an NSA warrant. Florrick knows she's being tapped."
Cheswick: "Were you not encouraged to share intel with other departments? Is there not a drug war in this country?"
NSA Boss: "Drug wars didn't bring down the World Trade..."
Cheswick: "Still? We're still going there. Classy. And anyway, what does any of this have to do with terrorism?"
NSA Boss: "It doesn't, but things are still even more complicated than you get to know. Plus Florrick's all cagey..."
Cheswick: "Yeah, but just about the DEA! You're still secret."
NSA Boss: "You're cut off. No more even little clues about drugs. This storyline is over."
One of the NSA Boys thinks about saying something, lets it fall silent; the NSA Boss delivers a righteous exit line -- "Do your own homework!" -- but then has to come back and snap in the faces of the boys so they will follow him out of the cubicle.
This investigation is creating itself, out of the left hand/right hand confusion of too much information and not enough trust. And it will prevail. It will bring everybody down. The ratfuck kingdom subsides on inertia and entropy. You only get free when you stop playing along.
LOCKHART
Everybody is so nice to everybody else when Cary comes to warn them about the wiretaps. Will and Kalinda are up against the window, arms folded like ever, but even they seem pretty nice. Diane thanks him sweetly, and but the second he leaves they circle wagons.
Will: "It would explain how the DEA got their unexplained info..."
Diane: "Yeah or they are trying to undermine us. If this is real, we'll have to tell all of our clients we can't be trusted."
Will: "Yeah but if they... What if the left hand is just doing this, and the right hand isn't actually being..."
