Alicia Florrick quotes from The Good Wife

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

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

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

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.

That concession was damaging. We can't afford any more giveaways.

Alicia

David, she's a woman in love, it's gonna be hard to motivate her.

Kalinda

Do you need dirt?

Yes. But that's the challenge about prenups, you need to throw enough dirt on the spouse to get something, but not too much to kill the wedding.
