...but not as much as Jordan is, who's temporarily abandoned his Eli-is-dead-to-me policy so as to tell him how invigorating he found the courtroom experience in this case, and how it reminded him of his salad days, "standing up, making a compelling objection." Eli mutters, "Right in the middle of my direct examination." Heh. Jordan babbles on about representing the disenfranchised, and as much as I love him, I'm not sure this case quite merits a rallying cry of "No justice, no peace!" Jordan stops when he sees the makings of a shit-eating grin on Eli's face, and Eli asks, "I was just wondering if it was possible that you were...a fanboy of a certain celebrity client." HEE. Jordan rasps that he most certainly is not, and for the record, his musical tastes are none of Eli's concern. If you ever wondered what plausible deniability looks like...this isn't it. Eli smirks when Jordan is gone, but doesn't dwell on it, as before he gets into his office, he sees lights from a disco ball reflected in the glass. He turns to see Taylor up on the balcony, dressed like Cher in the sixties, which is appropriate, since she starts singing the opening to "I Got You Babe." Eli's wondering if this is for him, but then Matt appears, dressed like Sonny Bono down to the bad perm, and they sing an abbreviated version of the song (sounding good together, by the way)...

...and then Eli's telling Taylor about it. She claims to hate the song, and says she wouldn't sing it under any circumstances, "even hallucinatory ones." Heh. Eli asks if she also wouldn't go out with any of their co-workers, but backs off, hopefully realizing how little right he has even to ask that. Taylor mentions his bribing of the judge again, giving Eli the window to tell her that he's having the aneurysm removed. He then asks her again if there's something going on with her and Matt, which she denies, and then adds that if he hadn't dumped her, "repeatedly, I might add," she'd think he was jealous. He says he's not, but it's been a rough week, and might she possibly have any time later? Taylor considers that, and says she feels like he's alone right now, as she is, but she's trying to move on, and being a shoulder for him won't work in that regard. Eli accepts this graciously enough, although he's clearly bummed, and leaves.
