"According to Bowmaster V. Whitely, if the party to a settlement is surprised by the repudiation of the settlement, then the court must provide a reasonable amount of time to prepare for the trial." " Reasonable time." " Yes, your honor." "You get five minutes." "Vega has more property." "Debeque has more potential." "Which is harder to monetarily define." "This isn't a library, scottie."

"I'm a realist, and I have never seen a deal pushed through so quickly." "So what?" "So your guy might wake up tomorrow and decide that he doesn't wanna do this, which is why I'm not showing you our private books without a signed deal." " Is that a joke?" " Am I laughing?" "Look, I may not have been awake during our MA clinic..." "Except for when you were copying my notes." "Which was no walk in the park." "You write like a monkey." "But in any case, due diligence is a requirement." "I have an obligation to my client." "Then we don't have a deal." "And everyone's gonna know it's because you killed it." "You know..."

"Don't say it, Harvey." "Mike." "Hey, are you okay?" "Now you care?" "Mr. Ross, I'm gonna have to ask you not to speak to my client." "She's not your client." "She is Rachel the paralegal." "And I only have five minutes, so you should really get out of my face." " What's your problem, Mike?" " My problem is that you don't have the balls to make this a fair fight, Kyle." "Lawyering isn't about fighting fair, and you'd better watch your false accusations, or I might just sue you for defamation." "Come on." "The defendant wishes to countersue." " On what grounds?" " I believe that's my line, counselor." "Defamation of character." "The plaintiff's video negatively impacted the perception of Lena Lunders and impaired her financial well-being." "That's ridiculous, your honor." "In order for there to be defamation, the statements made would've had to have been false." "That's not the case here." "Then you should have no problem proving that in court." "The countersuit is allowed." " Are you serious?" " Would you like to approach the bench and find out how serious I am?" "Your honor, the defense should've filed counterclaims before the trial began." "Yes, he should have." "But no one in this crop of associates had the foresight to do so." "And we drafted a whole addendum just because we assumed one of you would." "So I'm going to allow it." "Do you have a problem with that?" "No, your honor." "This is now a defamation trial." "You have until Friday to prepare." "Nice recovery." "Thinking on your feet." "But you wouldn't have had to if you hadn't been so naive." "Thank you, your honor." "How'd the negotiation go?" "You come out on top?" "Why didn't you tell me scottie was opposing counsel?" "Because I didn't want you to have performance anxiety." "About the case." "She's tough." " You're obvious." " And your fly's unzipped." " No, it isn't." " But it was earlier today." "You can do better." "Ooh, is that what scottie said?" "Type up the deal points." "I got her to cave."

"Well, in the real world," "I won't have to be looking for someone to play my fake witness in my fake trial." "Wait, wait, wait." "What do you think?" "Do you think witnesses are just gonna jump up and present themselves?" "'Cause they're not." "And sometimes when you have one, they disappear or recant." "And you know what you do?" "You deal with it." "Mock trial is about figuring out what type of lawyer you wanna be, and there's only two types..." "Winners and losers." "That sounds great, Harvey, but I haven't prepared." "I don't have anyone to play my client or my witness, and apparently I'm going up against someone that I can't trust." "Figure out a way to beat him anyway." "Winners don't make excuses when the other side plays the game." "Hey, Donna, I proofed that final agreement on the hotel merger." "Quick question..." "Has Harvey ever heard of spell-check?"

" No." " Well, then how do you know that she hated your promotion?" "I could just tell." "Can you tell what I'm thinking right now?" "That you're wishing I would agree with everything you say?" "No." "I was thinking that if you could actually read my mind," "I wouldn't bother asking you the questions." "But you can't read my mind, can you?" "No, I'm..." "I'm managing director..."

"Are you here to give me a proper send-off?" "I don't think we can do that out here on the street." " You sure?" " You tricked me." "I'm impressed." "To be fair, vega did want a merger." "I just convinced him that, given your client's propensity for rash purchases, that allowing him to stay in charge was a bad idea." "Vega needed Debeque's hotels minus Debeque, and I found a way." "One that he never asked for or wanted, and one that he's never gonna get." "Was..." "Is this for real?" "Three of Debeque's properties." "It'll be on the market by the end of day." "He's never gonna let you sell off his crown jewels." "See, that's the thing about passionate clients." "When they're crossed, they get angry, and they'll do anything to get back." "Don't do this, Harvey." "Look, there's another way we can do this." "We can get our clients into a room together, you can tell them you were wrong, and we can convince them back into a merger." "Miss Thompson, what was the intent behind your impersonation?" "I was just trying to be funny." "Everyone in our office makes jokes, and as a matter of fact," "Ms. Lunders encourages us to be informal." "I can't win this just on facts." " ..." "Passed over for promotion." " But I expected it." "I think everyone has the impulse to move up, but at a certain point, you just have to let it go." "So that's what I did." "What are you gonna do?" "I've never held ill will for my boss." "I'm gonna play the woman, not the case." "You say you expected to be passed over for a promotion, correct?" "Yes." "And yet you applied three times?" " Yes." " And you were never promoted?" "As I said, yes." "And when Nora Ginnesse was promoted, you wrote scathing emails to the rest of your coworkers in response." "No, not scathing." "The intent was to be funny." "Oh, right, you like to be funny." "Who doesn't like to laugh?" "Someone whose reputation has been ruined." " Objection." " Just a thought." " It's testifying." " Sustained." "Mr. Ross, questions." "I'm sorry, your honor." "Forgive me." "I was just trying to be funny." "On your performance review, Lena Lunders wrote," ""good work ethic." "Lacks skills."" "Do you think that's a fair assessment?" "Fair?" "I..." "I don't know." "Well, your coworkers were promoted, and your boss was calling you mediocre." "Are you mediocre?" "No." "So why haven't you been promoted?" "I don't know." "Do you think you deserve better?" " Doesn't everyone?" " So why haven't you tried?" " I have tried." " Why haven't you improved?" "I didn't say I haven't improved." "Well, your review did." "Your five years without a promotion did." "Look, you were so angry that you weren't moving forward that you lashed out at your boss..." " No." " Objection!" "Testifying!" " Everyone was moving past you." " So what?" " People making good on their..." " Badgering, your honor." " Sustained." " People who could cut it." "I can cut it!" "Excuse me, your honor." "Settlement's still on the table." " What?" " Let's settle." "Same deal." "Win-win." " No, I'm good." " Excuse me?" "I've seen the Moony looks, Ross." "You like her, so you're offering me a settlement because you don't want to hurt her feelings." "But I'd rather see if you'll break her." "Giddy-up, cowboy." "Counselor." "Would you like to proceed?" "No, your honor." " Are you sure?" " Yes, your honor." "Nothing further." "Well, normally we'd move on to closing statements, but it's been a long week, and honestly, we all know where this is going." "So court rules in favor of the defendant." "This court is adjourned." "Mr. Ross." "Naive and soft." "Not qualities we're looking for at Pearson Hardman." "Gentlemen, I appreciate you leaving the swords at home." "What started off as a true merger never needed to become anything different." "Daniel, I want you to listen to me." "I know Harvey, and he just wants to merge your businesses so he can double his billable hours." "Quiet, Scott." "I wanna hear what he has to say." "I'm just here to get my client the deal that he wants, and what he wants is a merger, is that right, Jones?" " That's right." " Daniel." "Your law firm overreached in a situation where it wasn't necessary." "It's not entirely Scottie's fault." "We lawyers all have an instinct to win, but sometimes we may not fully understand what that means." "We understand what it means." "Well, maybe you do, and maybe you don't." "For me, it would be to see both men return to the initial deal so that you can grow both your businesses, instead of having one company with a hostile reputation and the other a shell of what it once was."
