Gina Torres: Jessica Pearson

All In

Jessica Pearson

Harvey Specter: That's okay, I deserved it.
Jessica Pearson: What?
Harvey Specter: Do you remember when he was so mad when his cat peed in the corner of his office?
Jessica Pearson: Mm-hm.
Harvey Specter: That wasn't his cat.

Harvey Specter: What happened with Judge Fullman?
Jessica Pearson: There might be a slight problem.
Harvey Specter: What did you do?
Jessica Pearson: Why do you assume I did something?
Harvey Specter: What did you do?
Jessica Pearson: There was a prank.
Harvey Specter: How bad was it?
Jessica Pearson: We went to law school together and I got her drunk.
Harvey Specter: So?
Jessica Pearson: She woke up in front of the entire con law class.
Harvey Specter: It's recoverable.
Jessica Pearson: She might have been naked.
Harvey Specter: Might have?
Jessica Pearson: Was.
Harvey Specter: We're screwed.
Jessica Pearson: Come on, Harvey. She was uptight, I just straightened her out. That's what you do with uptight people.
Harvey Specter: Well why didn't you ever do that to Louis.
Jessica Pearson: I did.
Harvey Specter: That was you? He blamed me.
Jessica Pearson: You can be uptight sometimes too. That's why I let him think it was you.
Harvey Specter: Told him it was me.
Jessica Pearson: That's what I said.

Ella Fullman: That was a good speech. Got me right here. The only thing is you said "WE played a joke." There was no "we." It was you. You targeted me.
Jessica Pearson: What do you want me to say? I was young, I was stupid, and I'm sorry.
Ella Fullman: You were young and smart, and I don't believe you're sorry for a second, because it was no accident that the classroom you chose belonged to the professor who was conducting the interviews for the job we both wanted.
Jessica Pearson: I had no idea.
Ella Fullman: You sabotaged me.
Jessica Pearson: There were dozens of applicants.
Ella Fullman: No, we both know it was you or me.
Jessica Pearson: I didn't know that he...
Ella Fullman: Objection. Bullshit.
Jessica Pearson: What do you want, Ella?
Ella Fullman: I want to recuse myself... on one condition - admit you know what you did.
Jessica Pearson: I wanted that job. I know what I did. I'm not sorry I did it. And I'd do it again.

Jessica Pearson: No. No, I'm here same as everyone else, to contribute to your re-election campaign. Actually, I already did. Pearson Hardman is now a platinum-level donor. Go Fullman.
Ella Fullman: I know what you're doing.
Jessica Pearson: Of course, you don't have to disclose this, and neither do we, but I am of the opinion that elections are about truth, and truth requires openness.
Ella Fullman: You think you can get me to recuse by implying conflict of interest?
Jessica Pearson: You know I hadn't thought of that.
Ella Fullman: I'll simply return the money.
Jessica Pearson: That is certainly your prerogative, but it could look like you took money for favors and then got scared. No one forced liquor down your throat, Ella. You got drunk, we played a bad joke, but that was a long time ago. You know a man's reputation is at stake, and I'm not joking with you now. Cheers.
