1.
How often does Louis
ask you out?
Every single day. There are laws to protect you
from sexual harassment, you know. What are you doing here?
Delivering champagne. I see you can afford it
since the money you've been
stealing from our clients
hasn't been going to your
wife's cancer treatments. 2. Mike pull it off?
Yep. He suspect you were in on it 有份参与(to take part in something that is being planned or discussed. I don't know what they agreed to because I wasn't in on the deal.)?
Nope. Sign this confidentiality
agreement. I'll waive my claim. One time offer,
take it or leave it. 3. Please state your name
for the record. Sloane Moseley. And what is your position
at Folsom Foods?
This was all established during my
client's first and second depositions. I like to establish
my own facts. Or manufacture 编造 them. How many female executives
work alongside you?
Three. Making a total of four. In a department of nine. Is there a question?
Yes. What is the ratio of men to women
Senior Partners at Pearson Hardman?
Well, she has no
knowledge of that. Then, I direct the
question to you. And I have the answer, but it's
not relevant to this case. What do you mean?
Jessica Pearson's hiring and firing practices
are directly relevant to the case. If the next question isn't regarding
Folsom Foods, this deposition's over. Folsom Foods?
Ah. So sorry. As you know, I just
took over 45 different cases. I get confused. I thought we were deposing Pearson Hardman today. What the hell are
you talking about?
Oh, my God. Did I forget
to give you the subpoena?
Pearson Hardman is being sued
for wrongful termination in the
amount of ten million dollars. You have been served. Wrongful termination. You're
lucky you're not in jail. It's not on his behalf. It's on Monica Eton's. I actually got the
idea from you. Excuse me?
What this firm did to that
woman was unconscionable 不可接受的, 没有道理的(more than a reasonable or acceptable level or amount.). You piece of shit. Monica Eton
deserved to get fired. Hmm. The eight women I'm
going to stack the jury with
might disagree with that. Not once they learn she
was sleeping with you
while you were embezzling
from this firm. And how exactly are they
going to learn that 怎么知道, 怎么得知?
I'm afraid it won't be
one of you. You going to kill us?
Oh, I won't need to. You're bound约束 by the
confidentiality agreement保密协议
Jessica signed
the night I left. "All knowledge of any activity
of Daniel Hardman shall"
I know what it goddamn says. You signed it so quickly,
I wasn't sure. Fine. I know a shakedown when I see one ( The phrase "I know it when I see it" is a colloquial expression by which a speaker attempts to categorize an observable fact or event, although the category is subjective or lacks clearly defined parameters. 歌曲有: I know a heartache when I see one. (I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. ) 一看就知道. 见了就知道 know something inside out. 了如指掌. know something like the back of one's hand. shakedown I. a test of something new, for example a new system, vehicle, or machine. The accident happened during a shakedown race last season. II. American a situation in which someone uses threats to force someone else to give them money. III. American a situation in which someone searches a place thoroughly. "I know that I know nothing" or "I know one thing: that I know nothing". The expression became one of the most famous phrases in the entire history of the Supreme Court. Though "I know it when I see it" is widely cited as Stewart's test for "obscenity淫秽物品", he never used the word "obscenity" himself in his short concurrence. He only stated that he knows what fits the "shorthand description" of "hard-core pornography" when he sees it. Stewart's "I know it when I see it" standard was praised as "realistic and gallant" and an example of candor. The phrase was famously used in 1964 by United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to describe his threshold test for obscenity in Jacobellis v. Ohio. In explaining why the material at issue in the case was not obscene under the Roth test, and therefore was protected speech that could not be censored, Stewart wrote: I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. intelligible 听得懂的, 看得懂的, 容易理解的, 可以理解的, 让别人都懂的 adj. Something that is intelligible can be understood. 容易理解的. The language of Darwin was intelligible to experts and non-experts alike. shorthand I. a quick way of writing that uses symbols to represent letters, words, or phrases, used especially when you write what someone is saying as they are talking. Will they teach you to take shorthand (=write using shorthand)? in shorthand: notes written in shorthand. II. a shorter or quicker way of saying something. The phrase "spin doctor" became an apt shorthand for the political aides who surround the president. ). What do you want?
It's not what I want. It's what Monica wants. And what is that?
Payback. You see, when Mike Ross
brought that trumped up suit to her,
she was very upset. It brought back the memory 勾起了回忆
of what you did to her. I didn't do shit to her. That wasn't how she saw it. Yet you didn't lift
a finger to help her. I wanted to at the time. But I couldn't very well attack
my own firm, now, could I?
Never stopped you before. Touche [ˈtu:.ʃeɪ]((in fencing) used as an acknowledgement of a hit by one's opponent. used as an acknowledgement during a discussion of a good or clever point made at one's expense by another person. "'You haven't contributed much, this evening.' 'How could I have?' 'Touché. I do go on.'"). But you can't
mention that, either. We're done. Harvey, will you escort this piece
of filth out of the building?
Make sure he doesn't commit
any crimes on the way out. Oh, by the way, Mike Ross

that complaint. All I had to do was search and replace "Daniel Hardman" with "anonymous. "
Almost as virtuoso as the
job he did convincing you
Lawrence Kemp
signed that affidavit. Must stick in your craw(stick in someone's craw/throat (idiomatic) To cause lasting annoyance, irritation, or hard feelings. It really sticks in my craw that he never even asked me.). Having to walk by my
name day after day. Oh, we'll get to it 着手, 下手, 动手(Let's get to it. = let's get on with it. ). First, we had to turn your old
office into the new conference room. When Jessica and
I engineered 策划 our coup,
she had that sign
down within minutes. Schmidt. Gordon. Van Dyke. Jessica wanted it down the second you were gone. I told her it was too soon. No. You asked her to be name
partner and she said no. And you know why?
Because deep in her heart,
she doesn't trust you. She trusted me to kick your ass. Twice. Maybe. But I saw that look 表情 back there. She didn't tell you about the
confidentiality agreement, did she?
5. What the hell
were you thinking?
I don't want to discuss
this, Harvey. He gave up his
partnership, his money,
and his voting rights. It was a
good deal, I did it, and it's done. And now, it's come back to bite us in the ass. We have to settle. I am not settling. Our backs are against the wall and
we're going to drain our resources
on a case that we can't win
just because you boxed us in(box someone in 困住, 陷入困境 tv. to put someone into a bind; to reduce the number of someone's alternatives. I don't want to box you in, but you are running out of options. boxed in Fig. in a bind; having few alternatives. I really feel boxed in around here. I got him boxed in. He'll have to do it our way. box someone out basketball block an opponent from an area by the position of one's body: Miller neglected to box out his man in the final seconds.)?
It was a take it
or leave it offer 二选一的. I had one minute. I wanted to be done 再无瓜葛 with
the man, so I took it. You told me never to
make rash decisions,
and then you do this. I told you,
I didn't have a choice. Did you have a choice when you
decided to keep it from me?
I didn't think it would
ever come up again. That is not a good
enough reason. What did he tell you?
He told me you'd never
put my name on the door. He told me you'd come
after 对付 me someday. Maybe even threaten my family
the same way
you threatened his. All something you never
bothered to consult me on 咨询. I didn't have to. You'd have
told me to do whatever it took. That's not the point. Well, what's the point?
You kept it from me. I let it go. Because I knew he was just
trying to get into my head进入你大脑, 影响你的判断,
the same way he's trying
to get into your head now. What's going to happen
when he deposes you
and you can't tell
the full story?
I don't know, Harvey. But I
trusted you to beat him before. And I am trusting you
to beat him again now. 6. Hey. Uh, do
you have a minute?
That's about all I have. I'm under pressure. I've got to get this done. Yeah, I know. We're all swamped
with("to be swamped" to be overwhelmed with a great amount of work; to be overwhelmed with a great many obligations; to be overwhelmed by people (or animals). The idea is that you have so much work that it's like you're in a swamp and cannot move. swamp I.

III. to affect someone in a major way, so that they are almost unable to deal with their feelings or with a particular situation. Fear for her children threatened to swamp her. IV. to fill or cover something with water. n. an area of land covered by water where trees and plants grow.) this Folsom Foods thing. But, uh, I need your help with a
case that's a little more personal. I am swamped with Folsom Foods, but I came
in early to carve out 挤出, 空出 an hour to work
on something
personal of my own. What is it?
Harvard application. Rachel, that's great. It's great if I get in. And I'm not going
to get in 进去 if I don't get this done. And I'm not going to get it done
if people keep bothering me. Do people keep bothering you?
No. Okay. So, this is
going well, then. Less than one out of every 12
people who applies gets in. What if I'm not one
of those people?
I don't know. Maybe you'll
get in somewhere else. You're kidding me. I don't want to have
a fallback 保底的. You mean a backup?
A logical plan B?
Mike, I've been half in, half out of committing
to this(half in half out 拿不定主意, 犹豫不决: Unsure. Reluctant. Hesitant. For example, a friend suggests that the two of you go winter camping in Yosemite National Park. You think to yourself: "That could be exciting...but it is also dangerous". Your friend asks, "Are you in or out?". You say "Okay, I'm in". Then as you set out for the mountains you start complaining about the cold; you complain that your feet hurt; you complain that the backpack is too heavy; you say you feel a storm coming...etc. You are now "half in, half out" and a real pain in the butt for agreeing in the first place. In other words, you do something you really don't want to do, and have misgivings throughout the process. Half in, half out makes for a draining relationship: While there may be exceptions, the vast majority of marriages and romantic couplings have their struggles. When frequent and emotionally exhausting, these interpersonal challenges can leave the partners heading for the door, whether literally or figuratively. Yet, for others, working through their differences actually strengthens the bond, proving to them that their love is stronger than their discord. However, between these two ends of the commitment continuum resides a murky 糊涂混沌的 swamp of uncertainty, one in which neither party can manage to fully engage or disengage. And, in some ways, this interpersonal impasse can prove more vexing ( making you feel annoyed, confused, or worried. ) than coping with a relationship that is clearly breaking apart. The conundrum of "Should I stay or should I go?" creates an internal civil war that feeds on and, in turn, sustains the external battles between the respective partners. The more the two individuals are at war within themselves, the greater their propensity to take it out on each other. It is emotionally draining to constantly ruminate over a relationship. This mental fatigue destabilizes a person's moods, increasing the likelihood of clashes between the parties. The result is a mental seesaw. Some days are good enough to suggest that staying is the best course, but then the bad days set in once more, leaving the couple painfully impaled on the horns of their indecision. Some people in this fix secretly wish their partner would do something unforgivable, an act that would irrevocably tip the balance toward ending it all. In some instances, this longing to force the issue works subliminally to influence one or more of the partners to do just that — engage in some behavior the other person considers a deal breaker. "It sounds bizarre, but I've found myself hoping he would cheat on me," one woman confessed, referring to her husband. "At least then I could leave without constantly second guessing myself 事后懊悔, 懊悔不已, 捶胸顿足." In contrast, if one or both of the parties are fearful that their bond is in danger of collapse, they may seek some "glue" to patch it together. Often, this interpersonal adhesive comes in the form of having a child, buying a house, starting a family business, etc. Whatever the project, it diverts awareness away from the troubled relationship and toward a common goal that binds. But the "glue effect" is temporary, and a state of limbo soon returns, creating the uncertainty that eats away at emotional and physical well-being. Even bad news (e.g., separation, divorce) can be easier to deal with than not knowing. Many couples that remain together despite their persistent ambivalence do so by creating a comparatively stable but emotionally inert relationship. Somehow, and usually without discussing it, they cobble together ( cobble something up/together 匆忙攒起来的, 拼凑起来的 to make something or put something together hastily or carelessly. Who cobbled this thing up? Take it apart and start over. The kids cobbled up their model planes badly. It looks like you cobbled together that report just last night. ) a lifestyle that works, albeit often robotically. In relationships, clarity comes from being either all-in or all-out. Between these two juxtapositions exists a confusing mental space with its own unique flavor of angst. "Maybe I'm in or maybe I'm out" is a tough way to live.) for years. I'm done with that. Going to law school
is committing. What did
you need help with?
It's okay. I'm going
to do it on my own. Donna, I need your help. With what?
Hardman. I want you to convince Harvey to
let me on the Monica Eton case. Well, I need revenge. So do I. This has nothing to do with
any residual issues you've had
with me and my past behavior?
No. I mean, that bastard wouldn't even be
here right now if it wasn't for me. He'd just be some
partner skulking around(skulk to move around or to wait somewhere in a secret way, especially because you are going to do something bad. Why is he skulking around in the bushes?),
never having won if
I hadn't voted for him. Look, it's going to be okay. Success is the best revenge. Bullshit. Revenge is the best revenge. Harvey. Where are you
going? It's only 10:30. You going to dock(dock I. [intransitive] if a ship docks, it arrives at a dock. II. [transitive] 罚钱, 扣钱. to take money out of someone's salary, especially as a punishment. They dock your wages if you're late more than twice. III. [intransitive] if a spacecraft docks, it joins to another spacecraft while they are still in space. IV. [transitive] to cut an animal's tail very short. ) my pay?
I'm serious. I've got some
really good stuff here. First of all, Hardman's
non-compete is still in effect. He can't even
be practicing law. In New York. Where the hell do you
think we are?
He's working out of Jersey. He's got an office of one. He's constructed it so we'd
be tempted to fight him,
waste our time and
resources, then lose. Okay, fine. 9. Uh, he's just in the back在后边. Why is it the defensive
line is always packed with
a bunch of big, strong
black guys,
and the offensive line's packed
with big, fat white guys?
Well, I don't know. But looking at
you, you've got a foot in both camps 脚踩两只船, 穿梭于两个阵营( to be connected to two groups with opposing interests. to be friendly with and accepted by two groups of people who oppose each other.). I guess you're not
here to ask a favor. No. I'm here to
do you a favor. Get rid of him while
you still can. Jessica. You do not know who
you're in bed with搅在一起, 搞在一起, Robert. I went to law school
with the man. Well, he might have been
a prince back then,
but he sure as hell
isn't one now. Then enlighten me. Because from what I know,
he left the firm to
take care of his wife. When he came back,
you forced him out 挤出去, 逼出去. That's nowhere
near the full story. What else is there?
I'm listening. You signed a
confidentiality agreement. I am precluded from
speaking on that topic(preclude if one thing precludes another, the first thing prevents the second one from happening. This policy precludes the routine use of pesticides. Tercek's interviewing style precluded any long-winded answers. long-winded 冗长的, 又臭又长的 (of speech or writing) continuing at length and in a tedious way. using more words and taking more time than necessary to say something. long-winded speech or writing continues for too long in a way that is boring She launched into a long-winded explanation of how she'd found the books and I'm afraid I didn't really listen. a longwinded explanation.). Then, I'm afraid you're precluded from
convincing me to take him off this case. Robert. What's it going to cost
you to violate the agreement?
Give me a number. Hmm? I'll assume it's
in the millions. Fifteen. You said I didn't know the
kind of man I was in bed with?
From the looks of it看起来的话,
I'm in bed with the kind of man
who's got you by the balls 抓住你七寸(have someone by the balls (idiomatic, vulgar) To exercise total control over someone. To have complete control over someone, especially of a woman abusing a man's infatuation with her. Too bad she's got you by the balls. (Rolling Stones, Short And Curlies) If you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow. have someone by the short and curlies. have someone by the short hairs. have someone over a barrel. ). Don't say
I didn't warn you. Enjoy your game. Oh, by the way,
Giants lost by one at the two yard line. 9. Alright, Harvey. It's the middle
of the night. You wanted in. What can I do for you?
I need to talk hypothetically. Uh, is this "hypothetically"
about a suit being brought
by an ex-name
partner against his firm?
Because you know I can't talk about
a case that's on my own docket(case which is calendared, due, expected, filed with the court, forthcoming, high on the agenda, imminent, listed on the calendar, litigation docket.). Would you prefer I tell the IRS about
a hypothetical conversation I had
with an up and coming
judge nine years ago?
Give it to me( give it to someone I. To rebuke harshly; punish : He really gave it to me yesterday after I totaled his car. II. To do the sex act with or to someone : One minute he'd be giving it to her in his cousin's Buick.). The name partner in question was
the one she had an affair with
while he was embezzling
money from the firm. So, bring it up. Make your case. We can't. He got you to sign a
confidentiality agreement. Yes. But the spirit of the
agreement was to shield him(enter/get into the spirit of something Begin to enjoy and feel part of a lively event or atmosphere: people entered into the spirit of the occasion. the spirit 精神理念 of the times/age the ideas, beliefs, and style of a particular period of time. the spirit is willing (but the flesh is weak) used for telling someone that you would like to do something but do not have the energy or strength to do it. the spirit 道义理念, 精神 of the law the real meaning or intention of a law, even if the way it is written does not express this. The lawyers have violated the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. a moving force/spirit 幕后人 someone who makes something happen. She was the moving force behind the new arts program. ). If we had a sealed hearing,
how would you rule on tossing
the confidentiality?
I'm afraid you'd lose. Why? If he were the plaintiff,
it would be one thing. But he's the attorney. I can't punish the woman
for her choice of attorney. What if he doesn't make
that argument?
He will. He came to see you too. Two weeks ago. Sorry, Harvey. 10. I'm here for my Oh, I
know what you're here for. Jessica's deposition. Three o'clock on the nose. I'm nothing if not prompt(nothing if not decidedly and unmistakably. "he's nothing if not prompt". Jarvis was nothing if not a thoughtful man, and he searched his mind and soul to see if and where he had gone wrong. prompt adj. I. immediate, or quick. Prompt action is required.

II. to encourage someone to speak or continue speaking. 'But, what?'he prompted. Without being prompted, she began to apologize. a. theatre to remind an actor which words to say next. ). You're nothing
if not an asshole. Is that why you're sitting out here?
To call me that?
No. I just wanted to personally
escort you to the conference room. Mmm. Lucky me. We'll see about that. My old office. Harvey wasn't kidding. My idea. It took a while
to feng shui the evil out恶魔赶出去. Look, Donna, I understand。 You piece of shit. Is that all you've got?
Oh, I will go right now. Are you going to sue me?
Because I don't think anybody
here is going to testify. I never meant to hurt you. You mean when you planted
that memo and got me fired?
I did no such thing 我没做那样的事. And any implication otherwise from
within this firm is actionable. Yeah, right. But you
never meant to hurt me. I'd imagine whoever planted that memo
thought that you would bring it forward. And if you had, the only thing
that would have happened to you
is you would have been scolded. And Harvey's career
would have been over. So, it really is like that
between the two of you. You can go now. Jessica's deposition is in
the other conference room. 11. Please state your full
name for the record. Jessica Lourdes Pearson. Monica Eton's reviews from '03 to '07. All excellent. Agreed?
Yes. Then, why was she let go?
That was determined by
a variety of factors. Was one of the factors that she was
having an affair with a partner?
I'm so glad you brought that up, you
little son of a bitch. Because
Off the record. Hmm. So soon?
I told you this would happen. He's baiting you into
breaching confidentiality. And I'm ready to bite down
and drag him in with me. Don't. We can't
afford it. No. The affair itself
was not a factor. With whom was she
having this affair?
I refuse to answer that. Why? Were you
in love with him?
In love with him? I thought
she was bottom feeding. I might have actually
vomited 吐了, 呕吐了 when I heard. That's enough. We're not answering
this line of questioning. Move on. You said my client's dismissal
was due to a variety of factors. And then you said it wasn't the
affair and it wasn't job performance. So I ask you, what was it?
Was it a personal dislike 个人好恶, 不喜欢她?
Were you jealous of her?
Or do you just
hate other women?
Tread lightly, Daniel. Let's try some questions
your client can answer. Were you in a relationship at the
time of my client's dismissal?
Excuse me?
Jessica Pearson's personal
life is not an issue here. I beg to differ. And since your client can't
seem to find her words today,
I, for one, can testify
that she was not in a
relationship at the time. She's always been
married to her job. And she wants her female associates
to be equally committed. So that as soon as they have
anything else in their lives,
in other words, sex,
she cuts them loose. This is bullshit. Then tell me differently. We're done here. The truth is, Monica was younger
than you, prettier than you,
sexually active,
and of child-bearing age. All of the things you are not. And you fired her for it. 11. We going to talk about what happened?
Not tonight. Jessica, I
Son of a bitch all but
called me bitter 嫉妒的, 心里泛酸的 and barren. He did call you that. But
it's only going to get worse. And you should have jumped to
my defense sooner than you did. I'm your lawyer,
not your husband. And if I didn't jump in
when I did, we'd be broke. Look, I told you before. We need to settle. And I told you before,
we're not settling. Don't you see what he's doing?
He's trying to make
this case about gender. It's not. It doesn't matter. Look. You can't be the name defendant
on a gender discrimination case
while we're suing Folsom
Foods for the same thing. I am not capitulating ( capitulate [kəˈpɪtjuleɪt] 屈服, 放弃抵抗, 放下武器 I. to stop opposing what someone wants and agree to it, usually because they are stronger than you. The police capitulated and allowed the march to go ahead. capitulate to: We will not capitulate to the demands of terrorists. II. to stop fighting in a war and accept that you are defeated. )
to that man. Then you're going to
look like a fool. That's enough. You're not
calling the shots 说话不算. I am. And whether you think my
call is wrong or not,
it is still my name
on that goddamn wall. 12. Yeah, you couldn't have known不可能知道, 不可能预料到 it was going to lead to this. Well, if I don't fix this,
there might not
be a Pearson Hardman. You can't talk to me. Actually, I can. I don't
have any equity in the firm,
and I'm not working
on this case. You're an interested party 利益相关方 and you
drafted the original complaint. Any judge in the
world sides with me. 13. Listen, Monica. I'm
not trying to set you off. I'm trying to take
responsibility here. For what?
For doing exactly what
you just said I did. For drafting the original complaint
and starting this whole thing off. I'm sorry. The only thing you're sorry about
is your little maneuver backfired. Yeah, but it didn't
backfire on me. It backfired on Jessica. That's too bad. That's exactly
what I'm happy about. What? Jessica didn't
screw you, Hardman did. Daniel Hardman didn't show
up in my office to fire me
without cause 没有理由, notice, or a
letter of recommendation. She had cause. Did she?
When I told her I knew nothing
about Daniel's embezzlement,
do you know what she said?
"I don't care. "
And then, five years later, she
sends you to turn me against him. That's just it. She didn't. Look at that. The attack
dog 疯狗 defends its owner(An attack dog 看门狗 is any dog trained by a human to defend or attack a territory, property or persons either on command, on sight or by inferred provocation. Attack dogs have been used often throughout history and are now employed in security, police, and military roles.). Blame me, you can even blame Harvey,
but Jessica had nothing to do with it. If you think I'm going
to buy for one second
she wasn't behind you coming
to me with that lawsuit,
you are even more
naive than I was. Would you please just look
at what he did to her?
I don't have to. 14. Um, you know,
I wanted to tell you
I can't really talk
right now, Louis. Right, because you've
got the deposition?
I'm meeting Daniel. Harvey is right. I need you
on top of Folsom Foods. This is about Folsom Foods. What do you have?
If you can get Monica to admit
that her affair was with Daniel,
then this isn't
about gender anymore. Because they were both dismissed. A man and a woman. Puts you back in the driver's
seat on Folsom Foods. Okay. You got
a line of questioning?
Right here. You ready?
He is. I want you to let
him take the lead on this. What?
Not a discussion 没商量的. Where are you going?
Oh, I'm not spending another moment
in the same room with those people. 15. Well, if he doesn't do well,
he can always
approach my client
outside of her place
of employment again. Hmm?
I guess he must have learned from you
not to always tell Dad what he's up to. You want to know what
he learned from me?
Not to let some two-time
loser get in his head. If you didn't have an affair, then
what reason could there possibly be
for you to be fired?
Because I was being harassed,
and I made it clear
I didn't like it. Harassed by who?
Don't answer that. Oh, no. My client is going to answer the
question that your associate asked. And we're going to get some
things on the record right here. No, we're done. I was being harassed
by Louis Litt. What?
Go on, Monica. He asked me out repeatedly after
I rebuffed him again and again. He would stare at me,
wait at the elevator, outside my
office, the diner, everywhere. Anything else?
Yes. He was partner,
and I had to say no to him. And it made me feel
disgusting every single day. Will people corroborate
your account?
It was common knowledge 众所周知的事, 众人皆知
within the firm. Any number of people ( any number of things 无数的 a lot of a particular thing. Any particular whole quantity of: the game can involve any number of players. His shop stocks any number of different kinds of pasta. You can play a game any number of times, however, and the course will always be different. a. A large and unlimited quantity or amount of: the results can be read any number of ways. ) knew,
including him. Let the record show that my
client indicated Harvey Specter. Monica, I have one more
question for you. To whom did Jessica tell you
to hand in your resignation?
Louis Litt. So, in conclusion, you were
being sexually harassed. It was well known. Jessica
Pearson dismissed you. And you were actually told
to hand in your resignation
to the very man who
did the harassing. Yes, that statement
is entirely true. I get it. That was your plan,
to blame it on Louis the whole time. Monica always was
a good lawyer. Nothing she said in
there wasn't true. What's it going to take
to settle this case?
Whatever do you mean?
We break confidentiality, Monica loses,
you get your 15 million dollars. Tempting. But we're not going to
do that and you know it. So, you want to settle with
Monica and get out of your jam(get someone out of a jam Fig. to get someone out of trouble. Thanks for getting my brother out of that jam. How am I going to get myself out of this jam?). I want a number, and it
better be less than three. This isn't about numbers. It's about responsibility. Monica wants to see a
jury find Jessica guilty. Bullshit. You want to see a
jury find Jessica guilty. Nope. I assure you,
it is Monica. I don't really care whether a
jury finds Jessica guilty or not. You just want blood. It's already there. Because of you. Well, nonetheless, I smell it. Allison Holt, Robert Zane,
both came after you. And now, you have 45
cases you can't afford. So, pay me 15 million dollars. Fight Monica and lose. Fight Monica and win. Doesn't matter. Any way you slice it 随便你怎么说( any way you slice it 结果只有一个 (mainly American informal) also no matter how you slice it (mainly American informal) something that you say which means you will not change your opinion about something, whatever anyone says about the matter. there is only one possible result: Any way you slice it, there are going to be a lot of unhappy people when the winner is announced. He shouldn't have hit her, any way you slice it. ),
I'm going to bleed you dry( bleed someone dry 耗干你, 耗死你, 弹尽粮绝 informal to take a lot of money from someone over a period of time. to take someone's money until most or all of it has gone. to use up everything someone or something has available. The city is losing money at a rate that eventually will bleed it dry. I'm worried that the medical bills will bleed my parents dry. Etymology: based on the idea of a person losing so much blood that they die. Repayments on the new furniture were bleeding me dry. The West is bleeding poorer countries dry through interest payments on their debts.). 16. They promised a brunette. Well, I guess there's a few. I want to talk to
you like a person. Kenny G?
What's on your mind, Louis?
I know Donna told me
that, uh, you didn't need my help,
and I know we haven't really spoken since
you ripped up my letter of resignation,
but I want to help. I need to help. Trust me. It's not a good idea. He's using Monica the
same way that he used me. And no one knows
that better than me. I know. If I could just talk to her outside the
confines of everything, you know, if I
I just know I could convince her
to drop this case. I know it. Louis. Harvey, please. I'm begging you. What's this? Just read it. Mike led the deposition. Starts out bold. Oh, he shouldn't have asked that. That's a rookie move. What
What?
"Rebuffed again and again. "
She felt disgusted. Common knowledge. Louis. She pointed at you. That doesn't mean No, no, no, no. You used to tease me about her. Remember how I used to
stare at her?
That was teasing 开玩笑, 闹着玩的. This is bullshit. They're twisting everything. They are. He is. 18. What are you doing here?
I needed some air. How did you even know
how to get up here?
Donna. You?
Donna. I lied. The essay?
I couldn't do it. Just think of it like
a closing argument 最后陈述. "
Did I ever tell you about
my interview with Harvey?
No. But I'm assuming
it went well. He laughed me out of the room(laugh something/somebody out of court(/town/room) 笑掉了大牙 to refuse to think seriously about an idea, belief or a possibility (usually passive) At the meeting, her proposal was laughed out of court. Anyone who had made such a ludicrous suggestion would have been laughed out of court. Dismiss with ridicule or scorn, as in When he told them the old car could be repaired, they laughed him out of court. This expression, which originally referred to a case so laughable or trivial that a court of law would dismiss it, originated in ancient Roman times but has been used in English, without its former legal significance, since the late 1800s.). Are you kidding?
No, I'm not. He basically told me I
didn't even belong in the interview. He actually told me to leave. What did you do?
I decided I didn't give a shit what the
other applicants had that I didn't. If I was going through that door, he'd
have to pick me up and throw me out 我就赖上了, 除非他赶我. Well, you must have
said something. Yeah. Yeah, I told him I'd be the best
damn lawyer he'd ever seen. I wish I could have
been a fly on that wall 真希望看到当时的情景. Yeah, you have no idea. 19. What the hell
is wrong with you?
Me? You tried to
settle with Daniel. You're damn right I did. Did you read
what happened in that deposition?
I don't care what happened
in that deposition. I do. You're out of control. What did you just say to me?
Mike Ross wasn't
ready for this. He volunteered. He went to see Monica Eton. You've done the same. I'm a senior partner,
not an associate. Me to you. You to him. Fine. You want to know why
he went to see Monica?
I'm sure you're
going to tell me. Because he doesn't know the idea
to stir her up against Daniel
was yours in the first place. He doesn't need to know. So you don't
trust him with that,
but you trust him to go up
against Daniel himself. He came to me with a way to
put us back in a position
to win Folsom Foods. Well, it failed. We're behind on both. Excuse me. Mike. I just wanted to apologize
to you both for yesterday. It was a good idea. It just
didn't have the right execution 没执行好. What are you saying? I'm
saying it was a good idea. But the questions were being
asked at the wrong person. 20. Three on one. All for a deposition
of little old me(little old 小小的, 微不足道的 (little old me 小小的我) (US, idiomatic, informal, chiefly Southern US) Emphatically, affectionately, or humorously little; ordinary or harmless (especially when trying to downplay the importance of something). How about a little old game of pool? And now, this little old child is going to bed. Just one little old poker game now and then, that's not gambling. ). Would you be more
comfortable over there,
where your old desk used to be?
No need. We won't be here long. Our confidentiality agreement
prohibits most questions. Actually, it only prohibits
disclosures. We can ask you any
question that any lawyer
who hadn't signed a nondisclosure
agreement could ask. We just can't make statements. I'm sure if you were to ask Judge
Henderson, say, out by his pool,
he would agree. There's no court reporter here. I thought you might want
to talk off the record. If you ask me anything about
embezzlement, I'll deny it. If you bring any proof forward, it's
a violation 违反 of our non disclosure. That's why we won't be asking
about your embezzlement. We'll be asking you about
your affair with Monica. And if you lie about that,
we won't be the ones who need
to come forward with proof. Because we found six
people working at the hotel
who are willing to provide it. No. You didn't. Room service, concierge,
housekeeping. You really should
tip better, Daniel. Maybe you want a cigarette?
Remind you of the woman
you cheated on?
Go ahead. Ask your questions. Did you have an affair
with Monica Eton
while you were employed
at Pearson Hardman?
Yes. I did. Any other questions?
I think we're good. Yeah, you got me
to embarrass myself. But you already did that
the day you told everyone in the
office about my affair with Monica. You, and you. Yeah. I know what you told Monica
about Jessica not knowing,
but take a good look. She was behind it. Who needs a cigarette now?
And as far as
my admission goes,
you were still the one who fired
her 24 hours after you found out. That's what a jury's
going to focus on. Nobody's going to care
about what I did. You piece of shit. There's the fire
I helped nurture. You didn't nurture a
goddamn thing. You don't teach. You don't inspire. You don't mentor. All you do is betray. Like you betrayed me
at that last vote?
How dare you?
How dare I what?
You were more than happy to help
out when it served your purposes. I voted the way I did the second
I realized it was all a lie. And look how it turned out. You're a senior partner now. You're welcome. You
think I give a shit?
I think that's all you
ever cared about. You know what I cared about?
Monica. She was so smart
and so beautiful. And I knew she was out of my
league, but I kept trying. Because I just thought if
she just got to know me 了解我, 懂我
And then, I found out that
whole time, she was
With me. Yeah, with you. Why are you telling me this?
I want you to know exactly
what it is that you twisted,
so you know exactly what it was
that put me over the edge. Are you threatening me, Louis?
Threatening you?
No. I'm telling you. You ever do anything
to me ever again
You ever so much as
tell me the incorrect time,
I'll kill you. I will rip your smug 洋洋得意的 face
off your fat neck
and I'll kill you. 21. You here to depose me again?
Didn't go too well
for you last time. No, I'm here to say I'm sorry. You were right. About Jessica. You really didn't
know it was her. Welcome to the world. Stings 针扎一样疼, doesn't it?
Yeah. It does. So you came all the way here
just to tell me you're sorry?
No. I didn't. Jessica was wrong to fire you,
but she didn't fire you
because you're a woman. She fired you because
she didn't trust you. I know that. So, then, you also know that keeping
this suit alive is sticking it to her搞死她. That's the whole point. No. The whole point is that she is not
the only one you're sticking it to. What I said about Louis Litt is
factually accurate, and if you think
I'm going to drop the
case because of him
I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about the 113 women who
are suing Folsom Foods right now
for gender discrimination. Those cases are
their own thing. They're being told they
can't get where they want
because they're
not good enough. That has nothing to do with me. Who's being naive now?
He's using your suit to
drive us into the ground 打到, 干掉. And driving us into the ground
means losing these cases. What do you want?
Just read these files. Decide for yourself 自己决定吧. Do these women deserve to be
treated the same way you were?
What makes you think
I would even care?
I'm naive, remember?
Mike Ross went to see
Monica Eton again. At your direction 在你的授意, 在你指使下?
On his own. Goddamn kid. He's another you. Not exactly. He went to apologize for
lying to her the first time. He didn't lie. No. We did. Like the two of you lied to
me about him being a lawyer?
How about we call it even?
It's nowhere near even. Isn't it?
What's this?
He got her to settle. There wasn't an offer. There is now. This does not get us off easy没有占到什么便宜. Hell of a lot less than
She doesn't deserve a dime. Doesn't matter. I was right to fire her. That's not what this is
about, and you know it. He made me look like
a fool with her then. And he's made me look
like a fool with her now. No one cares what he
said in that deposition. You think I give a shit about
what he said in that deposition?
I meant getting me
to sign that agreement. You can't win every move. I should have seen it coming. You made a decision
under the gun 枪指着, 城下之盟. I let him put me there. We beat him because you kept your
cool when I wanted to lose mine. Keep your cool now,
sign this agreement,
and let's beat him again. 22. You look happy. So do you. Pressure's off. No more essay. You finished it. I had a breakthrough. Uh-oh. What was it? I'm a paralegal. Rachel, please tell me
that that doesn't
No, I don't I don't
mean that in a bad way. I mean it in a great way. You know what the length of an average
corporate lawyer's career is? Thirty years. Wrong. Whoa. Because they hate it. Not me. I've been here longer than 75
percent of our associates,
and I love it. Which means when you get out,
you won't be disillusioned [ˌdɪsɪˈluːʒ(ə)n] 幻想破灭(disappointed in someone or something that one discovers to be less good than one had believed. disillusion to make someone disappointed by showing them that someone or something is not as good as they had believed.). No. I'll be unleashed(放虎归山, 蛟龙出海 unleash I. to do or to cause something that has a very powerful or harmful effect. The new tax laws have unleashed a storm of criticism. II. to allow someone or something to be free when they were previously strictly controlled.). And that's what
I told them in my essay. In other words
You're going to be the best
damn lawyer they've ever seen. I'm going to Harvard. You really are. Yeah. Yeah. What?
Oh, nothing. It just, uh
It just hit me 刚想到, 刚刚意识到. You're not going to
be here anymore. I mean, you'll You
know, you'll be there. Boston. Cambridge. I guess I'll just have
to get used to that. I guess I'll have to get
used to that, too. You going home? Unless
there's something pressing迫人的, 着急的. No, I was just going to, uh
Hey, what happened here?
What are you talking about?
It's off. Looks fine to me. It isn't. Wait a second. Your eye for detail ( If you have an eye for detail or a fine/good/keen eye for detail 注意细节, 细心观察, 心思细密, you are good at noticing small but important things that other people might not notice. It is helpful to have a good eye for detail when you are building a house. ). One record askew(at an angle instead of straight. He paused to straighten his bow tie, which was askew.), and I don't
hear the end of it for a week. You scratched my Miles Davis. It was me. What were you thinking?
I was pissed. You're so emotional 情绪化的, 感情用事的. I lost my cool. You
shouldn't have done that. I know. I shouldn't
have hit Hardman. You didn't. I did. When? Right before
Jessica's depo. Closed fist?
Open palm. Bitch slap 扇耳光, 打耳光 ( An open-handed slap to the face; see usage notes below. Usage notes: The term has different connotations for different speakers; it is often used to refer to an especially strong or completely unexpected slap, but some speakers consider bitch slap to refer only to a weak slap (expressing mild contempt, as though the person being slapped is too weak to be given a strong slap). This would distinguish it from the stronger pimp slap. Due to the inclusion of the word bitch, this term is often considered misogynistic.). Damn straight. How'd it feel?
Good enough
that I did it again. Look at you. You're beautiful. You have a date?
As a matter of fact, I do. Bitter and barren, my ass. Someone special?
You never know. Could be the one. Oh. And, um, why don't you go ahead
and take that damn name down?
You keep showing up here,
Laura's going to kick your ass. Oh, you'd be surprised at the
strength of a jealous woman 女人嫉妒的力量. She has nothing
to worry about. Once again, I guess you're
not here to ask for a favor. You want to know who Daniel is?
Read his own words. He's not the first man
to have an affair. Maybe the first to turn around
and sue his former colleagues
for his own actions. That's all you have?
Tip of the iceberg. Believe me. He will turn
on you if you let him in. No one's letting him in. He's a contractor. He's not a partner. He's not of counsel 法律咨询, 资政 [ˈkauns(ə)l] ( v. I. to give someone advice and help with their problems, especially as your job. She has spent about five years counselling rape victims. Macnade was being counselled for violent tendencies. II. to give someone advice about what to do in a particular situation. v. [countable] legal a lawyer who gives someone legal advice and represents them in a court of law. a defence counsel. II. [countable/uncountable] formal advice and help. counsel someone to do something: Privately, the president was being counselled to end the war. keep your own counsel to say nothing about your plans or opinions. Queen's Counsel: in the UK, a lawyer of high status. ). He's not an associate. I'm telling you. Kick him off of Folsom Foods. Don't let him in your house. And I just told you,
he's not in my house. You're in my house. What if our houses
were the same?
Oh, no. You're moving
pretty fast. I told you. My wife's
the jealous type. You offered a merger once. Let's settle these cases,
get it done. You hate him that much?
Yes or no?
Here's the problem. Merger looked good before. But now, we have
you on the ropes. So, when Pearson whatever
goes under,
we'll pick up
the pieces for free(pick up the pieces 河山破碎, 重整河山, 捡破烂 Redeem a bad situation, restore matters to normal. to try to get back to an ordinary way of life after a difficult experience After Ruth's death, Joe found it hard to pick up the pieces and carry on with his life. Once fighting ended, the task force picked up the pieces and restored democracy. ). You do not have us
on the ropes. Oh, you'll get it tomorrow. We're filing to try seven different
cases in seven different jurisdictions
all at the same time. Rocket docket(A rocket docket refers to a court or other tribunal that is noted for its speedy disposition of cases and controversies that come before it, often by maintaining strict adherence to the law as pertains to filing deadlines, etc.). Yeah. It was Daniel's idea. He'll see you in court.
