CSColin Sweeney
Mrs. Florrick. A pleasure to meet you. [they shake hands] Don't worry. I killed her with my other hand. [she withdraws her hand quickly] Joking. Sorry. I've developed a perverse sense of the comic over the last year.

CSColin Sweeney
You think I killed my wife?
Of course.
Look, you pay us to represent your interests...
CSColin Sweeney
Even though her body was never found?
I'm sure you found ways to dispose of it.
CSColin Sweeney
Chopped her up and buried her in a landfill somewhere?
Or in Lake Michigan.
CSColin Sweeney
And my alibi?
That you were driving from St. Louis to Chicago at the time?
CSColin Sweeney
So you have no problem representing a murderer?
Oh, I have a great problem with it.
CSColin Sweeney
But you'll do it anyway?
Unless you'd like to exclude me.
CSColin Sweeney
Oh, not for the world.
When you pick up a gun, you shoot to kill. Or you don't pick up a gun at all.
So, are they going to go with electronic monitoring?
For Peter? Yes, if he wins the appeal.
Kids are excited?
Yeah... but nervous.
And you?
Same.
It's going to be weird, huh?
What do you mean?
I don't know what I mean. [awkward silence] We said we'd have dinner, didn't we?
Yes. We should.
[after Alicia told him he'll be staying in the spare bedroom] Do you ever want to be together again?
Peter... I've been hurt, deeply. I imagine I will heal someday, but for now... we need a plan, okay?
Okay.
So, you know the offer you made?
What offer would that be?
Freedom today if I don't fight the conviction. Stay disbarred, can't run again.
Yes, that offer. Smart move would be to take it.
Mm.
So I have to imagine you're going to tell me to go to hell.
You want the longer version?
Can't wait.
I wouldn't get too comfortable in that office of yours.
[after being subpoenaed to Peter's appeal] I'm not testifying.
Then you're going to jail.
Look, I've got nothing to offer.
You have everything to offer. You know you do. Peter Florrick lied on the witness stand. Tell the truth, he spends the next nine years in prison.
Glenn.
What?
Don't do this.
Come on, Kalinda. What do you care? You're out for yourself. You've always been out for yourself. And either way, you're going to tell the truth.
You don't know that.
I know that the sun is coming up tomorrow, and that you are going to tell the truth on the stand. And Peter Florrick is going back to prison. End of story.
[Cary is afraid Alicia told Will about his being high] Cary, I didn't tell him.
Why didn't you? With the contest, you know, why-why didn't you tell him?
I... There are so many people lined up against us, I just don't want one more.
I don't want you to lose.
I know. I don't want you to lose, either.
I kind of like you.
I'm surprised, but I kind of like you, too.
I don't understand marriage.
It's a mysterious institution.
You never wanted it?
Is that a proposal?
[ironically] Yes. I've been watching you from afar. [she chuckles]
Nice work on Broussard today.
Thanks.
Look, I know we're going through a lot of turmoil here over the direction of the firm, with Stern gone and all, but wherever we end up... I respect you, Diane.
Didn't they say that to Secretariat before they put him down?
I don't think they said "Diane".
I'm better than Cary. On the Broussard homicide. On the eyewitness cross. I've been working on this for three months, intensely, and Cary is just coming on.
I agree.
You... Well, then, why? Why... why was I pulled off it?
I don't know. It wasn't my idea.
Whose?
Will's.
[about Will and Alicia] You two do have a complicated relationship. You know, an unrequited thing.
What does that even mean? An unrequited thing?
Look, I don't really deal well with all this high school stuff.
And wouldn't that make him want me on the case, not off it?
I don't know. Alicia, complicated relationships are a breeding ground for misinterpreted action.
EGEli Gold
You know, you and I are going to be the best of friends, Mrs. Florrick. And you know why?
I have no idea.
EGEli Gold
Because you're cautious, and so am I. Your husband isn't.
I checked with Diane. Why I'm no longer on the Broussard homicide. She said it was your decision.
Yes.
I just wanted to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong.
No, no, no, no. Of course not.
Then I don't get it.
Maybe it was a mistake. I... I've been feeling guilty lately about pulling you away from the Rucker defense and the Memorial North suit. I just thought that... I just thought with Peter coming home... your life's complicated enough. I should give you a break.
But I don't want a break. I want to be here. I want to be doing a good job.
You are doing a good job.
Then use me. Peter can take care of himself. He's irrelevant to this. I want to be here.
I want you to be here.
Then... then I'm here.
Okay.
We represent murderers. We get them off.
No. We keep the courts honest.
And why shouldn't the courts be kept honest about Bishop? Everybody deserves representation. Does that stop suddenly when it comes to--
A criminal organization whose sole purpose is to sell drugs and to murder to control territory?
Sure. Put it any way you want, it's still a true statement.
We're doing this for the money.
Of course we are. We're not a charity! We do this or we lay off half of Acquisitions. That's ten lawyers and ten families.
Not to mention your season tickets.
