Diane: "We can motherfucking try."CHUMHUM
Carey: "I am actually kind of tired of Neil Gross."
Neil: "I like that about you. So what's the game plan?"
L/G: "Well, it's all about what circuit you're in. On the west coast another approach might be better. Maybe we shouldn't have done the constitutional stuff after all."
Neil: "So then what?"
Alicia: "When you lose with the Constitution, try money."
Neil: "Unless you're the Koch brothers and then they're just the same fucking thing."
COURT
Cary: "The government is interfering with prospective economic gain. His brand is about not being evil, to coin a phrase, and this gag order means he looks evil even though he isn't evil."
NSA: "[Various problems with this, all of which he defeats as easily as if he were wearing Wonder Woman's ting-ting bracelets.]"
Judge: "I see you wanting me in a SCIF and you will not have me in the SCIF. You maybe never get to have me in the SCIF again. This isn't about national security, it's about money. How much money?"
L/G: "Three BILLION dollars."
Everybody: "...Wait. For real?"
DINNER W/ MICHAEL BARNWRIGHT
Will never come. Alicia finds Veronica at the restaurant alone, drinking a pitcher of margarita and kind of winking sideways a little bit.
Veronica: "You had fun in court today, I can tell. You get drunk with me right now so I can have some of your good cheer."
Alicia: "I am so sorry that your widower boyfriend turned out to be neither."
Veronica: "I can't stand to be pitied."
Veronica punches her daughter, underscoring the point she's making.
Alicia: "The fuck?"
Veronica: "Remember when you were a kid and I would just fucking punch you whenever I felt like it?"
Alicia: "Yeah, I thought it was creepy and confusing back then, too."
Veronica: "Are we really going to talk about your childhood?"
Alicia: "No. Actually, yes. You liked Owen, and you like my kids, but you never liked me."
Veronica: "I liked you. I didn't dislike you."
Alicia: "Yeah but you didn't enjoy me. We didn't associate, do things together."
Veronica: "Is that why you're so satisfied having this ambivalent relationship with Diane Lockhart?"
