The Good Wife · Season 1
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.
You're trying to tie me to his scandal.
You are tied to his scandal. I am offering to keep the record sealed if you give me what I want, that's all.
You can't be talking with the mother right now.
Why not?
Your patient overdosed from pills you prescribed. And there is some question about the dosage. Even a simple expression of sympathy could be construed as an admission of guilt.
Then it's an admission. That's my patient. I'm their family doctor.
And I'm your lawyer. If I was sick right now, I would do exactly as you told me to do. But you're in trouble. And I need you to do exactly as I tell you.
Childs tapped my home. We don't want to subpoena those tapes unless we can preview them.
Without him knowing.
Mm-hmm. So, I think you should accept Childs' job offer. Work for him. And for us. That should be a familiar feeling for you.
I always did like you.
Are you seeing someone?
[she stays focused on the people they are watching] Okay, when they go into the locker room, don't approach them. Just watch the exchange and I'll make the approach later.
I'm sorry, did you hear my question? Do you have a boyfriend?
Do I have a boyfriend?
Yeah.
No.
I wanted his problems out of the office. What does that say about me?
It says you're becoming a lawyer.
Mrs. Florrick. A pleasure to meet you. [they shake hands] Don't worry. I killed her with my other hand. [she withdraws her hand quickly] Joking. Sorry. I've developed a perverse sense of the comic over the last year.
You think I killed my wife?
Of course.
Look, you pay us to represent your interests...
Even though her body was never found?
I'm sure you found ways to dispose of it.
Chopped her up and buried her in a landfill somewhere?
Or in Lake Michigan.
And my alibi?
That you were driving from St. Louis to Chicago at the time?
So you have no problem representing a murderer?
Oh, I have a great problem with it.
But you'll do it anyway?
Unless you'd like to exclude me.
Oh, not for the world.
When you pick up a gun, you shoot to kill. Or you don't pick up a gun at all.
So, are they going to go with electronic monitoring?
For Peter? Yes, if he wins the appeal.
Kids are excited?
Yeah... but nervous.
And you?
Same.
It's going to be weird, huh?
What do you mean?
I don't know what I mean. [awkward silence] We said we'd have dinner, didn't we?
Yes. We should.
[after Alicia told him he'll be staying in the spare bedroom] Do you ever want to be together again?
Peter... I've been hurt, deeply. I imagine I will heal someday, but for now... we need a plan, okay?
Okay.
So, you know the offer you made?
What offer would that be?
Freedom today if I don't fight the conviction. Stay disbarred, can't run again.
Yes, that offer. Smart move would be to take it.
Mm.
So I have to imagine you're going to tell me to go to hell.
You want the longer version?
Can't wait.
I wouldn't get too comfortable in that office of yours.
[after being subpoenaed to Peter's appeal] I'm not testifying.
Then you're going to jail.
Look, I've got nothing to offer.
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.
Glenn.
What?
Don't do this.
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.
You don't know that.
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.
[Cary is afraid Alicia told Will about his being high] Cary, I didn't tell him.
Why didn't you? With the contest, you know, why-why didn't you tell him?
I... There are so many people lined up against us, I just don't want one more.
I don't want you to lose.
I know. I don't want you to lose, either.
I kind of like you.
I'm surprised, but I kind of like you, too.
I don't understand marriage.
It's a mysterious institution.
You never wanted it?
Is that a proposal?
[ironically] Yes. I've been watching you from afar. [she chuckles]
Nice work on Broussard today.
Thanks.
Look, I know we're going through a lot of turmoil here over the direction of the firm, with Stern gone and all, but wherever we end up... I respect you, Diane.
Didn't they say that to Secretariat before they put him down?
I don't think they said "Diane".
