The Good Wife Season 1 Episode 23

Jackie: Who do you think you are? You think you know people? You just use the same words for everyone. You just say 'God' and you think you can make people feel bad about themselves.
Pastor Isaiah: Mrs. Florrick, your son approached me. He asked advice from me. I will continue to offer that advice.
Jackie: And I will do everything in my power to stop you. You don't know my son. This is a phase. You are a phase.
Pastor Isaiah: Then, we'll see.
Jackie: No, you'll see. He's running, this year. He's my blood; and I don't know what your God does, but it doesn't match that.

Jackie: (about pastor Isaiah) Mr. Gold, there is one thing you need to know about my son. He is easily moved. You need to prescreen the people who see him. And I will talk to this man. Plan on making the announcement by the end of the week.
Eli Gold: Thank you.
Jackie: Are you good, Mr. Gold?
Eli Gold: Am I goog? Uh, I'm the best, ma'am.
Jackie: I will need you to be.

Giada: I ran into Alicia Florrick.
Will: Uh-huh. Where?
Giada: At the office. She seems nice.
Will: Yes, and a very talented lawyer.
Giada: I'm sure. I felt like I was intruding.
Will: You felt like you were intruding? I don't understand that.
Giada: I felt like I was getting checked out by someone who had skin in the game.

Kalinda: Tony, you know this stuff you're slipping me, crime reports and evidence? You ever worry about getting caught?
Tony: Getting caught?
Kalinda: Mm.
Tony: Slipping you things? No! No. Why?
Kalinda: Just part of doing business?
Tony: Yeah. I mean, it's... It's for a friend. Some things you do for a friend. (she remains silent) I feel like you're having this conversation with yourself, and... and I'm just listening in.
Kalinda: No, I'm just... I'm just figuring you out, that's all.

(over the phone)
Will: Okay, I just need to say it. We've been up and down, back and forth, and I look at you, Alicia and I think that...
Alicia: Will...
Will: No, I just need to say this.
Alicia: No! Show me the plan.
Will: The what?
Alicia: The plan. I get the romance. I need a plan.
Will: Not everything needs a plan.
Alicia: Everything that matters does. I have two kids that mean the world to me. I have the press. They're just waiting for a whiff of a new scandal. And I have a husband. So if you want to cut through all that noise, then show me a plan. Poetry is easy. It's the parent-teacher conferences that are hard.

Peter: Look, I was just an okay state's attorney, nothing special. But I want to be a great one. And I can't do it without you.
Alicia: I don't want the kids involved.
Peter: They won't be.
Alicia: And I want to work.
Peter: I want you to work.

Alicia: So is it always gonna be with way, between us?
Will: I want to say yes, but I want to know what you mean.
Alicia: Just... talking. Being casual and...
Will: Blunt? (she nods) I like myself around you, Alicia. I don't like myself around a lot of people.
Alicia: You do.
Will: It's an act. It's perfected over a millennium.

Cary: You know what I would do if I were you, Alicia? I'd prepare for a season of losing.

Kalinda: What's Cary doing here?
Will: Working for the opposition.
Kalinda: Smart.
Diane: He's drawing blood, too.

Eli Gold: Do you mind if I'm blunt, Mrs. Florrick?
Alicia: Always a pleasure.
Eli Gold: I brought my business here. I didn't have to.
Alicia: Do you mind if I'm blunt, Mr. Gold? (he indicates her she can be) You brought your business here because we're a good firm. And let' both agree on one thing right now- there's a statute of limitations on playing that card.
Eli Gold: Fair enough.

Alicia: You're hot on this.
Kalinda: I'm friends with a lot of cops. The bad ones hurt the good ones.
Alicia: So, this is a crusade?
Kalinda: It's a job. And a job I'll do well.

Grace: So, do you like it?
Peter: Do I like what?
Grace: Stuff, politics.
Peter: Um, I don't know. I like what it can do.

Alicia: Are you waiting for someone?
Giada: Yeah, Will. They told me I could wait down here.
Alicia: Oh. Uh, he'll be a while.
Giada: Oh, that's okay. You're a friend from college, right?
Alicia: Of Will's? Yes.
Giada: DePaul, third year.
Alicia: Oh, you're in law school.
Giada: He talks a lot about you; almost makes me jealous.
Alicia: Don't be.
Giada: J.K. (Alicia doesn't understand) Just kidding.
