Jackie Florrick quotes from The Good Wife

Jackie

[to Peter] You are a good man. You want to blame yourself. But you apologized. You apologized again, and again. Anybody who wants another apology from you only wants you to be weak. So stop this. Stop this now. My son will not be made weak.

Alicia

You don't supervise my kids spontaneously. You don't take them to prison. You don't just try and phone me. You phone me. You respect me as a mother or you leave!

Jackie

I am doing the best I can.

Alicia

Well, join the club!

Jackie

[talking about Grace's new friend] Her father's in prison, you know.

Alicia

Jackie, your son's in prison.

Jackie

Well, yes, but he's not in statesville.

Jackie

[about Peter] He couldn't have done it without you.

Alicia

Oh, that's not true.

Jackie

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.

Jackie

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.

Jackie

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.

Jackie

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.
