Oh, this is getting rather fun.

Because, this was textbook.

The Good Wife

301

MICHAEL: You’re really a son of a bitch.
ELI: I am. But now I’m your son of a bitch. 301

Alicia: Are we overdoing it?

Will: Diane thinks I’m going too hard on you… Am I? Going too hard?laugh

Will: All those late nights…

Alicia: No time off.

Will: Buried… in work.

Alicia: Up to my knees.

Will: It’s just my neighbors…………. Come on, let’s go to the bedroom.

Alicia: No, no, no, no, no. Don’t move… Don’t move.301

302

WILL: I think I’m having American Revolution fantasies. That turned me on.
ALICIA: Well, I can dress up.
WILL: I want to take you now.
ALICIA: Well, that might prove difficult.
WILL: In my bathroom.
ALICIA: Mm-hmm. We have ten minutes.
WILL: I’ll go first.
ALICIA: Oh, Will, we’re being watched.
WILL: Where is that book? To be continued.
ALICIA: Mm-hmm.302

302

DIANE: I just don’t want to be blindsided.
WILL: Have you noticed you’re turning into me? All the sports metaphors.
DIANE: A better version of you.302

302

If she works against us, we are letting her go. I can hold you to that?302

303

ELI: It’s wonderful, isn’t it? People love humility. Tony Hayward needed a pie in the face.

DIANE: You didn’t.

ELI: Set it up? No. That was just luck. I thought he’d just get booed. 303

OWEN: I mean, when did this happen? You’re the one out having sex with your boyfriend.
ALICIA: Owen…
OWEN: And I’m the one at home with the kids.
ALICIA: And it’s much appreciated.
OWEN: Are you gonna get hurt by this guy?
ALICIA: I don’t know. I have no perspective.
OWEN: You should have rebelled in high school. Then you wouldn’t have to do it now.
ALICIA: Is that what this is, rebellion?
OWEN: Or love. It’s not love, is it?
ALICIA: No.
OWEN: Good. ‘Cause that would make it very complicated.303

CELESTE: You two have so much in common, don’t you?
PETER: We do have a lot in common. And how do you two know each other?
CELESTE: Us? We…
WILL: Worked at the same firm together long time ago.
CELESTE: We did a lot more than that.
WILL: The Baltimore firm: Osterman, Lee, Canfield. It was my first job out of college.
CELESTE: My first threesome was with Will. That’s true. What was her name again?
WILL: Celeste, okay.
PETER: Well, you have to start somewhere.
CELESTE: So Alicia Florrick, huh? Well, she works with Will, she’s married to you. Must be quite an arrangement. Discuss.
PETER: It is quite an arrangement. Yes.
CELESTE: Any awkward moments?

PETER: You mean besides this one?304

304

WILL: Sort of miss you.
ALICIA: I sort of miss you, too.
WILL: Well, what can we do about that?
ALICIA: I don’t know. What do you want to do?
WILL: Hey, let me call you back.
ALICIA: I’ll be here.
WILL: Okay. Love you. I said that…
ALICIA: I know.
WILL: No, automatically. Mechanically. I didn’t mean anything.
ALICIA: Will, don’t worry about it.
WILL: I… it’s not that I don’t care.
ALICIA: Will, call me later.
WILL: Right. Goodbye. 304

Not everybody can pursue their dreams. Someone has to work.

I’m not interested in anyone else. 304

305

Colin: There’s something about you two… Some kind of tension there. What is it?
Celeste: Are you gonna tell him? […] We’re lovers. We’ve been keeping it secret for months. Alicia…
Alicia: I really don’t want to talk about it right now.
Celeste: She’s breaking up with me for a man who is not worthy of her.Colin: If only that were true. 305

305

306

WILL: So… I met your son earlier.
ALICIA: I know. He said.
WILL: I was lame. I was babbling.
ALICIA: He didn’t say that.
WILL: I was. So… do you want me to meet them?
ALICIA: What? No.
WILL: I mean, formally.
ALICIA: I know. No.
WILL: You sure? Because I could probably make a good impression.
ALICIA: That’s okay. Thanks. I mean, really, thanks, Will. But it’s not necessary.
WILL: Okay. Good306

Hey, mom, pick up the phone. Hey, mom, pick up the phone. Hey, mom, pick up the phone.
DIANE: Where are you, Will?

WILL: Lunch. 307

DIANE: We need to re-up our insurance for next year, and Mr. Lachness has a question or two for us.
LACHNESS: You said you might want to raise your workplace insurance amount…
WILL: Am I really needed for this?
DIANE: We usually decide this together. Uh, workplace insurance is…?
LACHNESS: It’s suits from employees— sexual harassment, coworkers or bosses sleeping with underlings, you know, that stuff.
DIANE: And you were saying about savings?
LACHNESS: Yeah, I can keep your cost low if you have everybody here take a sexual harassment class.
DIANE: Hmm. What do you think, Will?
WILL: I think I trust your judgment, Diane, as you trust mine. You have my proxy.307

307

MARWAT: His daughter was dying from dysentery. I brought him medicine, that’s all. I took it to his home in Badula Qulp.
DIANE: Okay, wait, stop right there. Alicia, could you please step out?
WILL: Why?
DIANE: Alicia’s meeting with the monitor— he asked about Badula Qulp.
WILL: But— wait, what?
DIANE: She has to tell the monitor what Danny just said according to the terms of our 13224 license.
WILL: Yes, but if that’s true, she’ll also have to tell him we asked her to step outside.
DIANE: This is crazy.
WILL: Okay, so you didn’t ask Alicia to step outside.
DIANE: No, I did, but then I thought better of it.
WILL: O…kay. We’re going to stop this meeting… for a minute.

307

WILL: Sorry to make that sound so boss-like.
ALICIA: No. It’s been hard to get away.
WILL: It has. Diane’s been eyeing us like we’re a lawsuit waiting to happen.
ALICIA: It’s getting a bit complicated, isn’t it?
WILL: It is.
ALICIA: Do we need to… pause?
WILL: Do you want to pause?
ALICIA: I’m afraid even if we say we will, we won’t.
WILL: That sounds right.308

WILL: Are there any other judges in the military?
JUDGE KUHN: Sit. Except you. Mr. Gardner, isn’t it?
WILL: Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE KUHN: What were you saying?
WILL: What was I saying?
JUDGE KUHN: Yes. As I entered court, you saw fit to say something to your cocounsel. Mrs. Florrick.
ALICIA: Judge Kuhn.
JUDGE KUHN: What were you saying, Mr. Gardner? I would like to get it on the record.
WILL: Apologies, Your Honor. I was commenting, “Are there any other judges in the military?”
JUDGE KUHN: Good. To answer your question, yes, there are. And yet, here I am again. Happy days.
~
WILL: You take it; she hates me.
JUDGE KUHN: Was that also something you wanted to share, Mr. Gardner?
WILL: Yes, Your Honor. I told Mrs. Florrick, “You take it; she hates me.”
JUDGE KUHN: You wound me, sir. 309

DIANE: Do men really have that much success in their life that the first setback that comes along, they get all weepy?
ELI: I’m not weepy. I’m… I’m tired. It’s hard doing this. I don’t sleep at night. I stare at the clock, I think about nothing else. And it’s not productive time. It’s… stare-at-the-clock time.
DIANE: You can always give up.
ELI: Can I just have a minute to feel bad for myself?
DIANE: Yes, I’m sorry.
ELI: I don’t like losing. I’m always looking for when things start to turn south. What if it’s now?
DIANE: Eli, we’re gonna wallow for a few hours now. We’ll drink. I’ll put you in a cab. You will sleep it off. You won’t feel good in the morning. You will come in late, but you will come in. We’ll sit, we’ll talk. You’ve been lording it over us up until now.
ELI: I have not.
DIANE: Yes, you have. Don’t argue. You are brilliant, but you’re not God’s gift. We’ll sit and talk. We’ll hatch a plan. And Stacie Hall is going to rue the day. And that’s a fact. But for the moment…309

ALICIA: Will…
WILL: Yes?
ALICIA: I can’t. It’s too much. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m gonna miss you. 310

DIANE: You did the right thing. She’ll get over it.
WILL: Yeah. She will. 310

WILL: I don’t want things to be awkward.
ALICIA: I so don’t want things to be awkward.
WILL: Good. Then they won’t be.
ALICIA: So, that’s it then, isn’t it?
WILL: What?
ALICIA: We just decide it, and it’s so?
WILL: Yep. We’re adults.
DIANE: Alicia?
WILL: Looks like you’re needed.
ALICIA: Then I’ll get back to work. Thank you.
WILL: You have no reason to thank me, Alicia. No reason at all.311

OWEN: You’re lonely. That’s the problem.
ALICIA: I’m lonely. I know I’m lonely.
OWEN: So go call him.
ALICIA: Who?
OWEN: Will.
ALICIA: Owen, you’re not listening to me. I have kids.
OWEN: You don’t have kids. They’re with Peter. What? Do you suddenly become a non-sexual person just because you have kids?
ALICIA: No. I am a parent. And I have to stop being irresponsible.
OWEN: How are you being irresponsible?
ALICIA: I’m married.
OWEN: Then get divorced. You’re not Catholic. Nobody’s gonna send you to hell. Are you in love with Will?
ALICIA: No, I don’t think I am.
OWEN: Seriously?
ALICIA: Seriously. I think I was in love with it. You know, the attention. The—
OWEN: Raw, animalistic sex?
ALICIA: Yeah. But… I didn’t like the lying. And I don’t like… I mean, he’s my boss.
OWEN: Then quit. I don’t mean quit working. I mean, quit that job. Get another one.
ALICIA: It’s too complicated. I don’t like complications. 311

DIANE: You’re okay?
WILL: I am. If this starts impacting the firm, we’ll have to talk.
DIANE: Will, there is nothing we’ll ever have to talk about. This is a state’s attorney witch hunt. That’s all. We’re in this together.
WILL: It’s probably too early to drink.
DIANE: Another two hours. 312

Alicia: Thank you.
Cary: You’re welcome.
Alicia: I don’t get it.
Cary: Uh… wow. [he laughs]
Alicia: What’s so funny?
Cary: Things change.
Alicia: They do.
Cary: I like working with your husband.
Alicia: He likes working with you.

ALICIA: Are you looking for a lawyer?
WILL: I might be.

Fringe

Olivia: This isn’t gonna work. This truce, because you’re not trustworthy. And simple things, like principles, honor, honesty- all fundamental requirements in an accord. If you can’t trust the people you’re dealing with, what then?
Altlivia: You know, maybe I’m not the problem. Maybe it’s you. Maybe you are just incapable of trust.
Olivia: Interesting. Coming from the person who kidnapped me and stole my life.
Altlivia: You know being you, living your life? Only made me more homesick for my universe. Must be hard to develop trust in people when all you’ve got is yourself. Must get terribly lonely.
Olivia: Just because you walked in my shoes, don’t you think for a moment that you know me.
Altlivia: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.
Olivia: Happy reading. I’m sure you’ll find a lot of the cases familiar since you and your people were responsible.
Altlivia: Huh. Funny. I was just gonna say the same thing to you.401

401

Walter: These are different. They’re human. Whatever reason, they don’t work.
Olivia: Walter, are you suggesting that these are-
Walter: I told you. I told you that man couldn’t be trusted.
Lincoln: What is he talking about?
Astrid: Walter, don’t jump to conclusions. We don’t know that for sure.
Walter: All I do know, is that this tech isn’t from here.
Lincoln: Not.. from here? You mean like.. China?
Olivia: No. Not China. 401

OLIVIA: I know what it’s like to have a whole in my life. It’s been there as long as I can remember. I told you about the incident one the plane, after that Broyles asked us to join Fringe Division. And somehow I knew that this is where I would find—
LINCOLN: What?
OLIVIA: My answers.401

401

403

LINCOLN: Hey. Working a case?
OLIVIA: Something like that. Mm-hmm.
LINCOLN: Hmm. I got, uh, word you wanted to see me? We get any news on the shape shifter attack?
OLIVIA: Uh, no. I just wanted to check in with you, see how you’re handling everything. I know you’ve been going through the case files, getting up to speed. I understand that it can be kind of overwhelming. It’s hard when what you knew or what you thought you knew about the world… no longer holds. And I just wanted you to know that I’m here.
LINCOLN: You’re… here?
OLIVIA: Yeah. To talk to, you know? I mean, just if things are getting a little too much or if you’re freaked out…
LINCOLN: I’m… not freaked out.
OLIVIA: Oh. Good. Okay. Well, you just let me know.
LINCOLN: If I freak out, I— yeah, you… you’ll be the first to know.403

Broyles: Has Dr. Bishop come up with any theories yet on cause of death, the bodies’ advanced state of decomposition?
Astrid: Walter? Agent Broyles wants to know if you —
Walter: Yes, yes, I heard. You tell Agent Buh-roy-les that as there appears to be no unusual environmental factors to explain the rapid deterioration, then it is absurd for me to make any determination without first examining the remains!
Astrid: Okay, Walter said he —
Walter: So, for all I know it could be viral or a mutation of some flesh-eating bacteria.
Astrid: He thinks that —
Walter: It could be some kind of alien parasite. Ooh, Big Foot! Big Foot, that’s it! Astrid, perhaps you could look around for massive fecal droppings, eh?
Astrid: He doesn’t have any theories, sir.403

403

Aaron: Dr. Bishop?
Walter: Walter. I said you could call me Walter.
Aaron: How did your son die?
Walter: Peter was very sick. I tried for a long time to find a cure, but I found it too late and he died. When I discovered the alternate universe where another version of my son was dying from the same malady, so I crossed over to the other side with the intention of bringing him back to cure him. But the frozen lake where I created a portal between universes was unsound, and when we crossed back, the ice broke. Peter, the other version of him, drowned. I lost him all over again.
Aaron: And… you don’t think you belong in a mental institution?403

404

Olivia: I’m sorry. Does that hurt?
Walter: Not as deeply as my pride. Mysophobia…I haven’t had an attack in years.
Olivia: It’s curious, don’t you think? The things that we see, that we investigate, and you don’t bat an eye, and some harmless germs make you shake in your boots.
Walter: I suppose it is. Elizabeth, my wife, used to say I was a man of contradictions. She liked that about me. I liked everything about her. She committed suicide. Did you know that? After our Peter died. I’m glad she never knew me like this…Afraid of thingsI can’t even see.
Olivia: Walter, I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight either. What do you say
to a root beer float?404

Olivia: Walter I don’t think I’m gonna get much sleep tonight either. What do you say to a root beer float?
Walter: No no. No no no no. Let me show you how. Take the straw out of the glass, thusly. Then stab the ice cream, and push the straw down to the root beer at the bottom. Good. And then, you suck up the ice cream and the soda simultaneously to deliver the perfect blend of sugary goodness like so. Better?
Olivia: Better.404

WALTER: You acted against all reasonable agreements and expectations. You behaved irrationally, with regard to only your intuition and instincts.
OLIVIA: I guess I did.
WALTER: When I do that, people say I’m crazy. I suppose I’ve learned that“crazy” is a lot more complicated than people think. 404

Until a few days ago, I was convinced there was nothing I believed in. But I was wrong. There is something I truly believe: everything’s better after a bubble bath. Rituals are important. Not just for a serial killer, but also for a two-year old if you want him to go to bed on time. Not that I mind. This ritual has become my favorite. Bed time. Alone with my son. Being myself.”602

603

“What’s wrong with the way that I dress?”604

“Is that Lieutenant Morgan in a skirt?”

Brother Sam: When I first got locked up, I was just… mad. And I just wanted to hurt somebody, anybody. And this new guy comes in, and he’s just loud and bragging, and, “yeah, yeah, this, this, that. I was this, this, that in the street.” And so I’m just looking at him, I’m thinking to myself, “Okay, when I get a chance, I’ma tune this motherfucker up.” 604

604

“Some people think that religion began as a way for primitive cultures to explain natural phenomenon. The fire, the wind, the rain; they created a God for each one. You’d think science would have made religion obsolete. But it hasn’t. Go for a swim - come out a new man. If only I believed it were that simple.”604

605

“It’s like with your son, man. Now see? I just mention him, and you just light right up.”
“Yeah. I guess I do.”605

607

I feel like the last day my life made any sense, was the last day I spent with you.

607

I burden you all the time. 608

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness. For His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me…You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…Psalm 23

The Mentalist

Jane: Looks like I may have to get out to help you with this.
Lisbon: How? Your bail is set at a million bucks.
Jane: Yeah, that’s no problem. Once I get the money together, I’ll call you.
Lisbon: How’re gonna do that?
Jane: I’ll think of something. Meantime, I need you to get a hold of Timothy Carter’s personal affects from the forensics.
Lisbon: How am I gonna do that?
Jane: You’ll think of something. 401

I loved this moment. Not for the humor but for that measuring look Jane gives her after he makes the comment. He sees the worry and concern (and the pained exhaustion) on her and tries to lighten the moment. “Hey, it’s the same Jane as always, relax.”And it worked, if the palpable relief and tension dropping from her shoulders behind her usual “Oh, Jane” shake of the head are anything to go by.401

401

402

- What do you think, Jane?

- Meh…

Okeydokey..

- You weren’t gonna tell me that, were you?
- Probably not. No.

See, that’s how you do a physic reading.403

Van Pelt: It’s good to have her back.
Jane: Mm. Yes, it is.403

Hannah: Why dirty dancing? What do we do, do we watch it?
Jacob: You know the big move at the end of dirty dancing where Patrick Swayze picks up Jennifer Grey?
Hannah: Yeah
Jacob: I can do that. So I tell girls I can do the move, put on the song, Time of your life, I do the big move, and they always want to have sex with me.
Hannah: Oh my god, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.
Jacob: I agree, but it works every time.
Hannah: That would not work on me
[…]
Hannah: So do you prefer to do it here or in the bedroom?
