S1 E15Unfinished Business

When the connections are personal, it can get tricky.

Blurring the line between friendship and business usually is.

Your son asked me to represent him.

KSKenny's father

Without our consent.

He doesn't need your consent, he's 18.

KSKenny's father

And how do you think he's going to pay for it?

I don't know, we'll work something out. And although I might not be as seasoned as Mr. Streiger is, I can guarantee you I care a lot more about your son than he does.

[about Highland Park]

Think they've got enough manicured lawns here?

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

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

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

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

The average teenage boy sprinting would likely be in the range of eight to ten miles per hour.

How do you even know that?

Would you believe me if I told you I was a track coach in a previous life?

No.

Okay.

You realize Cary's never been to trial before.

How is that even possible?

Easy. By pleading out every court case that comes your way.

Just prepping for court.

By reading case law, huh? You're better off watching experienced trial lawyers.

Yeah, well, new kid on the block. I don't get much opportunity to shadow seniors. Though I have learned a lot by watching Alicia. She's definitely got some serious skills.

We suspect it's a Georgetown thing.

No doubt. No doubt. Yeah, that's a long time to stay friends. Since college and all. So, it's really commendable-- you championing her the way that you do.

Yeah, know what's great about someone like Alicia? She's a natural. She doesn't have to try so hard.

KSKenny's mother

I'll call you, okay?

You're not going to call and we're not gonna have luch. And that's okay. It really is. Take care.

I need to ask another favor... regarding the videotape that you gave me.

Okay.

On the tape was a present... a bracelet. I need you to look for the receipt.

Why?

I want to use the videotape to try to get Peter a new trial. I think it's very effective. But I'm afraid that the prosecution will suggest that the present wasn't paid for by Peter.

Why would they suggest that?

Mrs. Florrick, as you know, technically, I don't represent you. I represent your husband. And so, as much as I would like to be completely forthcoming, in these circumstances, I don't believe I can.

So Kozko gave Peter things, and you believe Peter regifted these things... this bracelet... to me?

I can say this: it would be helpful if we could find the receipt.

[to Daniel Golden after he sent a package full of gifts to her home] Don't you ever try to bribe me. And don't you ever try to buy my kids.

Who first told you about your husband's infidelity, Mrs. Florrick?

CNBC.

[he chuckles] I'm sorry, I don't understand.

I was at the cleaner's. I was waiting in line. CNBC was playing on the TV. I saw it on the crawl at the bottom of the screen.
