Glenn Childs quotes from The Good Wife

Childs

Don't make yourself collateral damage here, for your own sake.

Alicia

Mr. Childs, the day you leaked that sex tape to the press and forced me to shield my children from every cable news station that played it in a 24 hour rotation, that was the day I became collateral damage. If you're worried about my husband, Mr. Childs, you've obviously never made a woman angry before.

Childs

And you're telling me your husband had nothing to do with this?

Alicia

Mr. Childs, my law firm is bringing on a civil action, that's all.

Childs

Designed to embarrass my office and make it look like I don't care about a rape victim.

Alicia

A happy coincidence?

Childs

I understand the need to blame someone for your husband's downfall, but I didn't release that sex tape to hurt you or your family. I have kids, too. And you should know I was holding back. I had more to release about your husband, a lot more. Disturbing things, but out of compassion I held back.

Alicia

Mr. Childs, if you have something to show me, just do it, okay? Cause the one thing I don't have time for these days is empty threats.

Childs

Must be hard to lose, Mrs. Florrick.

Alicia

Not if it forces you to prosecute.

Childs

I'm coming out of this with a case I'll win, and you're coming out with a loss. Nice job.

Glenn Childs

I don't think you understand how exposed you are from your past work with the state's attorney's office. Subpoenas stopped at Florrick only because I wanted them stopped at Florrick.

Kalinda

You're trying to tie me to his scandal.

Glenn Childs

You are tied to his scandal. I am offering to keep the record sealed if you give me what I want, that's all.

Peter

So, you know the offer you made?

Glenn Childs

What offer would that be?

Peter

Freedom today if I don't fight the conviction. Stay disbarred, can't run again.

Glenn Childs

Yes, that offer. Smart move would be to take it.

Peter

Mm.

Glenn Childs

So I have to imagine you're going to tell me to go to hell.

Peter

You want the longer version?

Glenn Childs

Can't wait.

Peter

I wouldn't get too comfortable in that office of yours.

Kalinda

[after being subpoenaed to Peter's appeal] I'm not testifying.

Glenn Childs

Then you're going to jail.

Kalinda

Look, I've got nothing to offer.

Glenn Childs

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.

Kalinda

Glenn.

Glenn

What?

Kalinda

Don't do this.

Glenn Childs

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.

Kalinda

You don't know that.

Glenn Childs

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.

Glenn Childs

I want you to join us, I want you to...

Cary

Yes.

Glenn Childs

I'll need your help with Alicia Florrick. She and her husband...

Cary

Yes.

Glenn Childs

Good. See you tomorrow.
