L/G
Elsbeth: "Well, that was a bloodbath. How do we impeach her as a witness?"
Alicia, without a second thought: "She had a stroke last year and now she hallucinates all the time. Memory problems, orientation..."
Eli: "Wow, you really had that one locked and loaded."
Elsbeth: "I don't mind using it, she's pretty horrible."
Alicia: "Just don't push her too far. She's very sensitive about it."
Eli: "Trust me, I know all about tiptoeing around her ass."
Elsbeth: "Can I just reiterate that the whole 'Jewish stuff' breakdown was like the most fucked-up thing I've heard all week?"
Eli: "That was her being circumspect."
GARDNER
Will: "I brought you this wine."
Hellinger: "Is it expensive? Or did you just like the picture on the label?"
Will: "Both. Mostly the latter, but I did drop a pretty penny on it."
Hellinger: "I forgive you."
Will: "I wasn't apologizing!"
Hellinger: "Unless you're moonlighting as a wine-deliverer, yes you were. And I accept. Oh, but you were cut after the first round. I guess attacking you full-frontal didn't quite fix the situation."
Will: "Ah, well. Keep the wine. And this smoldering look."
Hellinger: "Both, I will accept. And thanks."
CROSS
Elsbeth: "Mrs. Florrick, hello! Remember that speech you gave 18 October of last year? Can you tell me more about the speech you gave?"
(Objection: Relevance. Also worthy of note: The extreme stinkeye Eli can't help but give Jackie, in a sustained way throughout this scene and much of his life.)
Elsbeth: "They're saying a deal was made in connection with this speech, I'm just trying to get a picture of what went down..."
Perrotti: "[Objecting to whatever he can.]"
Elsbeth: "If the counselor wants to get on the stand, that would work out just fuckin' fine for me, Your Honor..."
Perrotti: "Shutting up now."
Elsbeth: "Okay so after your speech, you met with Eli and Saxon?"
Jackie: "If you say so, honey."
Elsbeth: "I mean, you already testified to this, dude."
Jackie: "Do you know how many times I've given a stump speech for my kid? Because I don't. Not to mention how blurry it gets since I'm constantly going off-message and talking about whatever awful crap pops into my head. Or hallucinating bugs everywhere. I mean, it's a real mess up here."
Elsbeth: "So you don't really remember this particular meeting?"
Jackie: "I have some cognitive issues. After my stroke a few months ago. I don't like talking about it, but I am a forthright individual with my own ethical compass."
Elsbeth: "So like right this second, do you remember this meeting with Eli and Saxon?"
Jackie: "...Nope."
Elsbeth: "Can you tell me that Eli Gold was even at your speech that day?"
Jackie: "You know what, no. Frankly, some days I can't even remember my name."
