Quotes[]

David Lee: We're like homeless lawyers.

Will Gardner: So, the vote is this Friday. Bond is up by three votes, one of them is supposedly me. So, he's really only up by one.

David Lee: By two.

Will Gardner: No, by one

David Lee: He loses one vote so he's up by two.

Will Gardner: No, I move to Diane's side, so she gains one and he loses one.

David Lee: What are you talking about?

Will Gardner, David Lee, Diane Lockhart: inseparable arguing

Diane Lockhart: Can we agree we need more votes? We need more votes, and we are running out of time

Alicia Florrick: What's this?

Kalinda Sharma: Change of address.

Alicia Florrick: For who?

Kalinda Sharma: Me.

Alicia Florrick: Oh, I, I don't think I even have your old address.

Kalinda Sharma: Well, now you have my new one.

Alicia Florrick: I feel like we've grown closer together.

Kalinda Sharma: Okay, give it back.

Alicia Florrick: Oh, no, no, no, this is going in my copy of Eat, Pray, Love.

[Kalinda reaches for the paper and Alicia slaps her hand away from it]

Kalinda Sharma: Ow!
