Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 54 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Call Me Mr. Feet
By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 9 | Aired on 11.24.2013
Anyway: Robyn gets it, and explains that if the Feds are using Scabbit "proof" and "evidence" in their case, we're screwed. Not because they're right, or because the FBI is okay doing so, but because the "evidence" in this case "proves" that Zayeed did the bombing. Words that mean nothing, but are on the page demanding to be read regardless.
LADIES WHO LUNCH
Jackie: "I'm not saying I'm better than the rest of you, just that my son Peter is better than any children you may ever have. Pass me the bread? Anyway, Peter's been so sweet, sending town cars to bring me to him so he can lavish me with attention..."
She spots Eli Gold escorting Mary Stuart Masterson to a table, and her face goes DefCon Jackie, and she pops over there.
Eli: "Oh, do you know Rachel Keyser?"
Jackie: "You fuckin' bet I do. Rachel."
Rachel: "I was a clerk for her husband like a zillion years ago."
Jackie: "She was the Judge's favorite."
Eli: "Congrats on not playing that card with Peter, then."
Jackie: "You let this whore talk to my son? In what context?"
Eli: "In that she is Diane's replacement as Supreme Court Justice."
Jackie: "Mr. Gold, can I talk to you for a second?"
Eli: "Okay but you're hurting my hand."
Jackie: "Tell her no. I refuse to tell you why, but you are not putting her on the bench."
Eli: "Please tell me why?"
Jackie: "Don't make me hurt you. Just fucking do it."
Eli: "You decorate the offices, you throw the inaugural balls, whatever. This is my actual job. You don't get to do my actual job."
Jackie: "That's not what this is about."
Eli: "She's a perfectly nice woman. Whatever your grudge is, suck it up."
Knowing what her "grudge" is, you can see why this goes down so ugly: Of course Jackie can't tell him why, because she comes out looking worst -- to her mind -- of all. But Eli can't be arsed following major orders like this, out of nowhere, without a real reason: She's Reddit and he's CNN, and there's no way they can tell each other the important information until it's too late. The second she leaves him alone with Rachel Keyser, to go scheme rather than telling him the truth -- or taking it to Marilyn, which is what I would advise -- he's going to make the offer.
