The Good Wife, Season 2

Will:
(in a voicemail to Alicia) No, you know what? I'm not just dropping this. You wanna know my plan? My plan is I love you, okay? I've probably loved you ever since Georgetown. So phone me. I'll meet you anywhere, and we will make a plan. If none of this makes sense to you, just ignore it. No embarrassment, nothing. We'll just go back to how things stood.

Will:
Are we being played in some way?

Diane:
I don't see how.

Will:
I don't either. It's making me suspicious.

Diane:
What do you know about Derrick Bond?

Kalinda:
What do I know? Well, I did the due diligence. Everything I found, you have.

Diane:
What about Derrick Bond and Will?

Kalinda:
Sorry?

Diane:
As far as I knew, there was no connection between them. I was the connection to Derrick.

Kalinda:
You're suggesting there's a link that you don't know about.

Diane:
I'm suggesting I'd like to be disabused of that notion.

Kalinda:
Then, I'll get to disabusing.

Alicia:
Don't put me in the middle of your thing.

Blake:
My-my thing? I-what's that?

Alicia:
I don't know. But whatever games you're playing you play with her [Kalinda]. I'm too busy. Okay?

Owen:
Afraid of the Alicia stare.

Alicia:
The what?

Owen:
You know. (makes a glacial glare)

Alicia:
When have I ever done that?

Owen:
When someone doesn't live up to your standards.

Alicia:
You make me sound like such a bitch!

Owen:
Noooo. Proper.

Alicia:
Ow!

Owen:
Are you going to leave him?

Alicia:
Owen, please don't.

Owen:
He's two-faced.

Alicia:
Everyone's two-faced.

Owen:
You're not.

Alicia:
Yes, I am.

Owen:
Then you've changed.

Alicia:
No. Issues got more complex. And I grew up.

Cary:
(to Alicia and Will, before taking Alicia's deposition) This is funny, isn't it? All these connections. My old workplace, my old boss, my old coworker... and my new boss competing with your husband. And then there's you two and... your thing.

Will:
(shrugs) Chicago. Shall we start?

Peter:
You know the one thing I hate more than a backroom deal, Eli, is a failed backroom deal.

Kalinda:
Your office is... small.

Cary:
Yes. Small, but pure.

Kalinda:
So, in the third year, do you get a window?

(on the phone)

Alicia:
Could... we talk sometime?

Will:
We can talk anytime.

Alicia:
No, I mean... We need a moment. Just a moment when things don't seem so all over the place.

Will:
Okay, that's probably not now.

Alicia:
(chuckles) No.

Will:
I heard peer review was rough.

Alicia:
A bit. How important is it?

Will:
I don't know. We're trying to figure that out. You think it's stupid?

Alicia:
I think it encourages people to denigrate each other to save their jobs.

Will:
I read your reviews. You didn't.

Will:
In Chicago, you need your friends three times: at your wedding, your wake, and your first indictment.

Will:
I've got your back, Kalinda. Just make sure you got mine.

Kalinda:
I always have... and I always will.

Cary:
Good job. I didn't see that one coming.

Kalinda:
Ah, I have to keep you on your toes. So, anything new on Blake?

Cary:
You just got my only eyewitness kicked and you want my help?

Kainda:
Yeah.

Will:
I need friends. I need, like, a fat buddy who I can tell things to and get drunk.

Alicia:
I'll work on that.

Diane:
Where is Blake?

Kalinda:
Uh, I heard he's out sick.

Diane:
Okay, you sit with them. Help them prepare questioning, because what I give a damn about is...is...What I give a damn about...uh...It's just...it's not...it's not just, uh it's just one minute.

Diane:
Well, I think that worked. I mean, it was painful, but it worked...What's wrong?

(Kurt walks close and kisses Diane)

(Someone knock on the door)

Diane:
Go away!

Will:
But she hasn't lost perspective?

Alicia:
No. She's fighting harder.

Will:
Unfortunately. I need her to fight harder at work, too.

Alicia:
I...just for one minute wanted to think that we were doing the right thing.

Will:
But we are doing the right thing.

Alicia:
But for the wrong reason.

Will:
Who do you know is doing something for the right reason? I would love to meet them, because my guess is, after five minutes of questioning, we'll find the wrong reason.

(after the motion to dismiss Diane falls short)

Derrick:
You had me fire my head of litigation and put you in.

Julius:
(grinning) Yeah.

Derrick:
Why?

Julius:
I don't like you.

Diane:
We're the perfect couple.

Will:
Yeah, everything but the sex.
