The Good Wife/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Will and Diane's Batman Gambit to kick Bond out of the firm. "I don't like you."
  • Will again, in "Fleas". The judge favours the state's attourney he is arguing against, while seeming to insist on fair play and also insisting on proper use of terms ("In your opinion, Mister Gardner.") Will finally gets his own back when the judge throws out a piece of evidence for no readily explained reason. Will stands his ground and she is forced to call an hour's recess rather than backpedal. Will turns to the opposition:

Will: I'm going to have to buy you a map. Then I'll show you how we practice law in Chicago.

  • In "Unprepared", while on the stand during Peter's bail hearing.

Mr Landry So you intend to welcome Mr Florrick into your home? In spite of the sexual dalliances with call girls-
Alicia: My son is here, mister Landry.
Mr Landry: Are you suggesting you'd give different answers if he weren't?
Alicia: I'm suggesting you stop asking invasive and irrelevant questions. What's your goal here, mister Landry? To do your boss' bidding? To embarrass me? Embarrass my husband? To goad me into some emotional public renunciation of him? The relevant question here is whether Peter has a suitable place to go home to, and I'm stating under oath that he does. Any further questions?

Judge: Why don't we leave it there?

  • A lot of CMOA happen in "Another Ham Sandwich" during the grand jury. Diane, David Lee and Will merrily sabotaging the grand jury and mentioning Peter as much as they can, and the best : Alicia leaving the court in a complete ownage of Wendy Scott-Carr.
