[about Peter] He couldn't have done it without you.
Oh, that's not true.
It is. We women stay in the shadows, we smile, we comfort, we nurse, but we're always there. You are a good woman, Alicia.

[about Peter] He couldn't have done it without you.
Oh, that's not true.
It is. We women stay in the shadows, we smile, we comfort, we nurse, but we're always there. You are a good woman, Alicia.
Are you gay? [Kalinda doesn't answer] Oh, come on. We are talking about every single little detail of my life. It's a simple question.
I'm... I'm private.
Ugh. Come on.
What does it matter?
It doesn't.
Then why'd you want to know?
Because I do. And how is this fair? I talk about everything.
I didn't say it was. You like to talk about your life. I don't like to talk about mine.
I just wanted to say I am sorry.
Sorry you got the job, or sorry for what you did to get the job?
Sorry we both didn't get the job.
Alicia, here's the thing... you like to think you're a good person, and maybe at one time you were, but we both know you'll do whatever it takes. Sleeping with the boss? Check.
Cary, if it makes you feel better to think that, then think it, but...
I don't have a name. Alicia, I don't have a fairy godmother I can phone up or the whole Chicago political machine. I had to work, I had to sweat, I had to make money for this firm and that's just not enough.
I want you to join us, I want you to...
Yes.
I'll need your help with Alicia Florrick. She and her husband...
Yes.
Good. See you tomorrow.
I phone Will, I tell him we're in a bar and that you're too drunk to go home. So you're getting a hotel room upstairs. Alicia, one night... no repercussions.
And tomorrow?
Tomorrow you wake up.
That's just not me, Kalinda.
Everything is you. Everything you want to be you is you.
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.
Mrs. Florrick, your son approached me. He asked advice from me. I will continue to offer that advice.
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.
Then, we'll see.
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.
I ran into Alicia Florrick.
Uh-huh. Where?
At the office. She seems nice.
Yes, and a very talented lawyer.
I'm sure. I felt like I was intruding.
You felt like you were intruding? I don't understand that.
I felt like I was getting checked out by someone who had skin in the game.
[on the phone] 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...
Will...
No, I just need to say this.
No! Show me the plan.
The what?
The plan. I get the romance. I need a plan.
Not everything needs a plan.
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.
So is it always gonna be this way between us?
I want to say yes, but I want to know what you mean.
Just... talking. Being casual and...
Blunt? [she nods] I like myself around you, Alicia. I don't like myself around a lot of people.
You do.
It's an act. It's perfected over a millennium.
You know what I would do if I were you, Alicia? I'd prepare for a season of losing.
(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.
Are we being played in some way?
I don't see how.
I don't either. It's making me suspicious.
What do you know about Derrick Bond?
What do I know? Well, I did the due diligence. Everything I found, you have.
What about Derrick Bond and Will?
Sorry?
As far as I knew, there was no connection between them. I was the connection to Derrick.
You're suggesting there's a link that you don't know about.
I'm suggesting I'd like to be disabused of that notion.
Then, I'll get to disabusing.
Don’t put me in the middle of your thing.
My-my thing? I-what’s that?
I don’t know. But whatever games you’re playing you play with her [Kalinda]. I’m too busy. Okay?
Afraid of the Alicia stare.
The what?
You know. (makes a glacial glare)
When have I ever done that?
When someone doesn’t live up to your standards.
You make me sound like such a bitch!
Noooo. Proper.
Ow!
Are you going to leave him?
Owen, please don’t.
He’s two-faced.
Everyone’s two-faced.
You’re not.
Yes, I am.
Then you’ve changed.
No. Issues got more complex. And I grew up.
