Kalinda Sharma quotes from The Good Wife

Kalinda

First plea bargain, a gin martini. It's another Stern, Lockhart tradition.

Kalinda

When you pick up a gun, you shoot to kill. Or you don't pick up a gun at all.

Kalinda

[to Alicia] That's the problem with good deeds... they multiply.

Alicia

Last time I was in court was 13 years ago.

Kalinda

Wow, I was 12.

Kalinda

You identify with too many clients, you burn out.

Alicia

Why don't you tell me when I do something right, okay?

Kalinda

Sure.

Alicia

You're not just making this up?

Kalinda

Come on, it's a Stern, Lockhart tradition. Your first jury trial... shot of tequila. Let's go.

Kalinda

Yeah, I just made that up.

Kalinda

You know what I don't get? Why you stood by him. I would've stuck a knife in his heart.

Alicia

I always thought I would, too. When I heard about those other scandals, the other wives... I thought: how can you allow yourself to be used like that? And then it happened and I was... unprepared.

Kalinda

Hey, ever heard the whole thing?

Alicia

No.

Kalinda

You're the only one who hasn't.

Kalinda

What else did you do there?

What do you mean?

Kalinda

I mean what else did you do there?

Alicia

So, what's your point? A call girl can't get raped?

Kalinda

Yes, that's my point, thanks. Look, she lied to us, why believe her now?

Alicia

Because she walked away of half a million dollars. And when did she ever lie to us?

Kalinda

You know, the more you bond with these clients, less helpful you are.

Kalinda

Not that I mind it, but since when did you become me?

Alicia

You didn't believe her, I did.

Kalinda

Maybe she is telling the truth.

Alicia

I don't understand.

Kalinda

You're in a good company.

Alicia

His mother was my first friend in Highland Park.

Kalinda

Oh, yeah?

Alicia

Well, and the first person to stop talking to me.

Cary

Reminds me of my old high school.

Kalinda

Reminds me of the schools I used to vandalize.

Kalinda

Think they've got enough manicured lawns here?

Alicia

Grass can't be more than two inches tall. Neighborhood association wields a mighty sword.

Kalinda

Pretty. Doesn't seem like a good fit though-- you living here. Was it?

Alicia

I did it for 10 years. I liked it at the time.

Kalinda

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
