The Good Wife · Season 1
[about Kalinda who wants to open a locker] Don't you need a warrant or something?
Yeah, if I were a cop. I can't get bolt cutters in here, but it'd be easier if you just opened it.
So you're not a cop?
No.
And you're not with campus police?
Mm-mmm.
So who are you?
Kalinda.
So, you enjoy tarnishing my reputation?
Best part of my day.
Sometimes I think justice would be better served with a coin flip.
[over the phone] We're in a weird place, I know.
It's okay.
No. I don't like being in a weird place.
I know. Me neither.
When I look at you during the day, I want to know what you're thinking.
Sometimes I don't even know what I'm thinking. Will...
Yeah?
If it had been differently... at Georgetown, if... if it had been us and not Peter, we would've lasted a week.
No, we wouldn't have.
We would have. It's romantic because it didn't happen. If it had happened, it would have just... been life.
[about Diane sleeping with McVeigh] Did it even occur to you to tell me?
Not, it didn't. I was under the mistaken impression that it was my life.
It's your life when it doesn't impact our clients.
It didn't impact our clients.
Diane, the jury ate it up. It was sex. It wasn't GSR or ballistics; it was sex.
I'm going home.
If you had just told me. If you had just given me a sign!
Come on! Don't be a hypocrite.
A hypocrite? How am I a hypocrite?
Alicia.
[he pauses] That's supposed to what, make me quake, make me humble?
Make you honest.
There's nothing going on with Alicia.
That's not true.
It is true.
Will... I have two eyes.
Then use them. Watch me. Watch us. There's nothing going on with Alicia. [she chuckles]
[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.
The fact is, you know something about Stern no one else knows.
I can't use it, Kalinda.
You can't not use it.
It violates attorney-client privilege.
Only if you tell someone. So don't tell someone.
It's over.
What is?
Us. Me caring. Me actually thinking that you're changing.
I am changing.
No, you're not. You want to think you are so you can go back to what you did before.
Then, help me. Help me. If you're right, help me.
No.
I have respected the way you've stood by your husband. It's a lesson in forbearance.
Well, it's a lesson in something.
This isn't about Mrs. Sanborn, Jonas. This is about us.
Of course it's about us. I'm going to destroy your firm. And Mrs. Sanborn understands that, don't you dear?
I do.
Everybody has friends; everybody has enemies. I did things for Kozko as a friend.
That were illegal?
No, but... the line gets fuzzy.
[she shows him a bracelet] Who paid for this?
I did.
Then why isn't the receipt in your name? I went to the store, Peter.
I wanted to get you something nice... I didn't have the money. Kozko lent me the money.
And that was illegal.
That was... fuzzy.
Who's Will?
Will Gardner-- my boss.
I heard you talking to him on the phone. A week ago. You were whispering. At night.
He's my boss... and we used to know each other in college. And we thought that we were attracted to each other, but it's over.
What's over?
Thinking that we were attracted to each other.
But he's still your boss?
Yes.
So what happened?
Actually, that's all I intend to share right now. Your father and I are agreeing to make this work and I have agreed to trust you again, so good night.
Everything is all right.
You sure? Because... I'm sorry.
Alicia, you don't have any reason to be sorry. I was pushing a situation that was wrong to push.
You weren't.
I was.
Don't worry. We're good. We're going to be good.
[to Alicia] That's the problem with good deeds... they multiply.
You're such a pushover.
I am not. I'm responsible. [Kalinda gives her a look] No, I mean, I'm responsible for the Feds questioning him.
You're not responsible for everything bad in the world, Alicia.
[she pauses] Where would they put her, the mom?
Broadview, McHenry detention, General population at Cook County. They make it a shell game.
But you could find her?
So you're the pushover, I'm the one who actually does the work?
