Julius: "So Alicia, how are you going to win this case later in the episode?"
Alicia: "No idea. Probably Kalinda will turn up some bizarre clue and I'll get all intuitive on it. But in the meantime, let's turn this preliminary hearing into a poor man's deposition and see what the prosecution has to show us."
Julius: "That's going to piss off the judge."
Alicia: "Yeah, except the judge is the Honorable Francis Flamm, aka 'Judge Tie-Dye' and played by Harvey Fierstein, who is still kicking around."
Julius: "God, remember Brian Kerwin in that movie?"
Alicia: "Remember him in Murphy's Romance? Criminy."
LEGAL AID
Diane: "Offer her flex time! The option to telecommute. Tell her we'll find her a corner office."
Will: "We're out of corners. Where are you, a football game?"
Diane: "Yes, my midday treat to myself. No. Legal Aid."
Will: "Come on, Diane, you don't have to break up in person. Just make a call."
Diane: "Yeah well, that was the plan, but my guilt was getting to me."
Will: "Guilt is for the weak!"
Diane: "Also, you should get a gander at the Legal Aid guy before you ask any more stupid questions. He is totally Conrad from Weeds."
Will: "'Nuff said."
TRIAL
Not only is Alicia confident about this "poor man's deposition" idea, she's so much so that she would also like to get about six other plates spinning at the same time, and Cary over there just bitching himself pink the entire time: Kalinda is at the crime scene, asking Julius questions on the phone, and then he runs those questions to Alicia, and she asks them on record at the hearing, and then Julius relays them back to Kalinda, and the whole time Fierstein's like, "Yeah, I know what she's doing, but I am a hippie and I believe in justice and zucchini bread and gay cinema and I need you to chill."
As far as the facts, I mean, who cares. The shooter was inside the store, about ten feet back, and the witness was twenty feet away, on the sidewalk opposite, and then he saw the robber going into the back of the store, where the toys are, and the main thing of this part is that there's a coded lock on the back door, so the real robber couldn't have gotten out that way. Which we already knew, because we were in the back of the store, but it doesn't really matter anyway, because it's about establishing doubt.
