Quotes 

• Harvey Specter : You're on trial for murder.

  Ava Hessington : And because of that, a tender offer's being made on a company with my family name. And with all that going on, the fact that I haven't made a statement defending myself is bullshit.

  Harvey Specter : It's not bullshit. It's smart.

  Ava Hessington : Of course you see it that way. You think I'm guilty.

  Harvey Specter : I've told you before it doesn't matter what I think, but if you think saying you're innocent is gonna make people believe you, it won't, because you know who says they're innocent? Everybody.

• Harvey Specter : You bribed that government. What's to stop anyone with a pulse from believing you knew that money was payment for killing those people?

  Ava Hessington : Because life is more important to me than money.

  Harvey Specter : Then why the hell did you pay that bribe in the first place?

  Ava Hessington : Because that's how it works over there.

  Mike Ross : Murder is also how it works over there.

  Harvey Specter : You did it, you know it, and you're not convincing anyone.

  Ava Hessington : Very good. Finally we get to it. If you check your records, you'd know the reason we won that bid is we were the only company who took it upon ourselves to go to the people.

  Harvey Specter : Because you needed to see what your obstacle was.

  Ava Hessington : My obstacle? We paid $100 million more than anyone else on the condition that the money be used to relocate any family who lost anything within fifty miles of that pipeline. Job, home, land, livestock -- anything. What happened over there sickens me. I lose sleep over it every night, and as soon as I am out of this nightmare, I am going to shut down the entire project - the pipeline, the oil fields, all of it. So, I've had just about enough of you two wondering whether I'm guilty of these murders or not. Is that a good enough trial run for you?
