The Forfeiture Corridor

The SA for Madison County, Phil Tapia, comes running in and supplies another ASA.

Altman: "Sorry to take over this trial and totally change everything around, but we've just randomly decided to argue that the problem here was never Article 14 but obstruction of justice."
Alicia: "Do you guys know how the law even basically works? That wasn't the charge. It's not what this trial was made for."
Altman: "Okay, but say we want to file an additional charge and you can drop the first one..."
Alicia: "Your Honor, give a sister a break, this is ridiculous. The only one obstructing justice is Officer Robb, with his illegal traffic stop in the first fuckin'..."
Altman: "Unlike in Cook County, the backwoods don't like that kinda talk."
Judge: "No, we don't. Alicia, can you back up what you just said?"
Alicia: "I can totally prove whatever I just yelled. Have you seen this show?"
Judge: "Cool. So we'll talk about obstruction of justice after we make a call about this traffic stop."

Outside, Alicia grabs Peter's equivalent, SA Phil Tapia, to rough him up some more.

Alicia: "This is about my husband, right? You're going after him somehow."
Tapia: "Lady, I don't even know who you are. And I don't 'go after' people. But you should tell your husband, State's Attorney and gubernatorial hopeful Peter Florrick, that the police love their pensions and that I will destroy him using his son."

Zach: "Wait, so am I in trouble or what? That dude was talking crazy."
Alicia: "So help me, Zach, when I'm done with him he won't be talking at all."

EXPERT

Dog Lady: "Dogs aren't like people. They don't need a lot of encouragement and hand-holding to do the thing that they do, because all they are is the thing that they do."

She demonstrates what it's like if you get real manic and do a lot of "here boy!" and "do you smell drugs, boy?" and all the things Robb was doing. Petey, her dog, becomes convinced with not much prompting that Alicia is keeping her dank stash in a filebox on the conference room floor.

Dog Lady: "I just found probable cause to search through your filebox."
Alicia: "Okay, what about this video here where that horrible tall cop guy did that?"
Dog Lady: "Yeah, that's the thing I was doing before. You know what this video needs, though, is chicken music."
