It's like old times. Evidentiary procedure. The mock trial.
You remember that?
How could I forget? Did we lose that one?
Yeah!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Your honor, come on, this whole line of questioning is a smokescreen.
Mr. Brody, why don't we wait for a whiff of smoke before we call it a screen, please? I'll allow.
Objection. Not in evidence.
Sustained. And you might want to stay standing, Mr. Brody. I have a feeling we're nearing your smoke screen.
Don't make yourself collateral damage here, for your own sake.
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.
[Alicia and Kalinda are both with cups of tequila]
You're not just making this up?
Come on, it's a Stern, Lockhart tradition. Your first jury trial... shot of tequila. Let's go.
[only Alicia drinks]
Yeah, I just made that up.
You know what I don't get? Why you stood by him. I would've stuck a knife in his heart.
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.
So, our State's Attorney, in his radiant wisdom, has decided to withdraw the charges against you client and pursue a case against Mrs. Lewis's brother. Isn't that right, Mr. Brody?
[Matan starts to object]
All I need is a 'yes' or 'no'.
Hey, ever heard the whole thing?
No.
You're the only one who hasn't.
Ericcson?
Right, [Diane rolls her eyes] William Ericcson. That's just what we need: two Wills.
EEriccson
I'm rooting for your husband. I know he has a lot of enemies in this town, but I always root for the underdog. [Will starts to laugh] Just ignore him. The only reason why someone is forced out of public office in America these days is sex.
EEriccson
Mr. Florrick, what would you say to someone bringing unsubstantiated sexual charges against a public figure just in order to gain an advantage?
You want to know what I would say?
EEriccson
I would.
I would say you're trying to change the subject from rape.
I think you're looking for justice, Christy. And sometimes justice comes in a form we don't expect. If you take this money, the settlement will be know to the two people that matter most, you and him.
CChristy
I'm sorry, no. He'll know how much it cost to rape somebody and get away with it, that's all. This is about him admitting that he did this to me.
We just turned down a half million buck.
Feels good, doesn't it?
What else did you do there?
CChristy
What do you mean?
I mean what else did you do there?
So, what's your point? A call girl can't get raped?
Yes, that's my point, thanks. Look, she lied to us, why believe her now?
Because she walked away of half a million dollars. And when did she ever lie to us?
You know, the more you bond with these clients, less helpful you are.
