Quotes 

• Louis Litt : You seem upset that she led you to believe that she was trying to befriend you when it turned out she was gonna betray you.

  Harvey Specter : Louis...

  Louis Litt : You got a problem with that?

  Mike Ross : No. No problem.

  Katrina Bennett : Not as long as your daddy's here.

  Harvey Specter : Do I have to have another talk with you?

  Louis Litt : He had a talk with you?

  Katrina Bennett : Yes, but I didn't feel the need to run to you to protect me.

  Mike Ross : Second choice never does.

  Harvey Specter : I can't believe it's up to me to be the adult in the room. Maybe it's time we get down to business.

• Mike Ross : Ava makes a statement, Cameron's gonna be all over it.

  Katrina Bennett : Cameron Dennis isn't the problem right now. The problem is Ava Hessington isn't a credible CEO.

  Harvey Specter : The problem is she's on trial for murder.

  Louis Litt : And public perception says that she's as guilty as Jean Valjean with a loaf of bread in his pants.

• 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.

• Jessica Pearson : [talking about Louis]  Is he aware she's up for murder?

  Harvey Specter : Is he aware that most people don't line their offices with pictures of themselves?

  Jessica Pearson : Evidently not.

  Harvey Specter : You know he's still got one of his dead cat?

  Jessica Pearson : Harvey, leave the cat alone.

  Jessica Pearson , Harvey Specter : [together]  Stupid cat.

• Jessica Pearson : This is my call.

  Harvey Specter : I'm afraid it isn't.

  Jessica Pearson : Excuse me?

  Harvey Specter : You and I both know who assigned me to this case, and it wasn't you. It was the man you chose to merge with, the same man who has a 51% share of our law firm; so, unless you're gonna undo THAT, you're gonna live with THIS.

• Harvey Specter : You're on Katrina duty for the next two days.

  Mike Ross : What? I'd rather be on latrine duty.

  Harvey Specter : It's not an option.

  Mike Ross : Okay, then I'm going AWOL.

  Harvey Specter : Well, let me connect the dots for you, Forrest Gump. Even though Jessica gave in on the strategy, Louis made it clear he's willing to sacrifice Ava.

  Mike Ross : And you don't trust him to play by the rules.

  Harvey Specter : Which is why you're gonna work side by side with her to figure a way out of this jam.

  Mike Ross : And at the same time make sure she and Louis don't shaft us.

  Harvey Specter : Not bad, Forrest.

  Mike Ross : Okay, if I'm Forrest, then you're Bubba.

• 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?

• Harvey Specter : I wasn't wrong about it being personal. I was wrong about which person. You're not pissed at me. You're pissed at yourself for getting played.

  Jessica Pearson : What did you just say to me?

  Harvey Specter : You heard me. Fools rush in, and you're the one who gave him the 51% in the first place.

  Jessica Pearson : I merged with Edward for the sake of this firm, just like what I did today with Ava. And the only one in this room taking things personally is you.

  Harvey Specter : Tell yourself whatever you want, but don't tell me it doesn't have to do with Darby and don't tell me it isn't personal, because you can't stand being number two.
