EXAMPLES FROM SUITS

COME OUT

– Wait, we can’t say where the money came from?

– No, we can’t, because he was playing backroom poker,

– and if that comes out, Harvard fires him.

– Are you kidding me?

FIGURE OUT

– I want you to bury the hatchet with Jack.

– You mean you want me to kiss his ass.

– I mean I want you to figure out a way

– to make peace with a partner whose influence is on the rise.

– That’s kissing his ass.

LASH OUT
– You’re here because your fears are affecting your work,

– and now you’re trying to find a time where I failed at my job

– so that you can lash out at me.

– And I’m not gonna let you do it.

– No, I just want you to know what it feels like to be me.

STAY OUT

– And you’re out of control because you can’t

– separate yourself from him.

– Okay, you need to stay out of it.

– And I will, but you said you made a mistake

– not trusting Mike with Gillis Industries.

WALK OUT

– I tried again. He did it again.

– And I said, “Enough is enough.”

– Then you walk out the door. You don’t steal his clients.

– You know what? This doesn’t concern you.

– This is between me and Jack.

RUN OUT

– Katzen was the last name on that list

– and the only name on that page, all right?

– The printer must have just run out of paper.

– This isn’t Rachel’s fault.

– What am I supposed to tell Kevin Slattery?

GET OUT

– Zoe.

– God, why didn’t you just say so in the first place?

– Get out.

FIND OUT

– What’s that supposed to mean?

– First you call me “associate” in front of opposing counsel,

– and now I find out you’re keeping things from me.

– Look

– I’m just saying, are we a team or not?

THROW OUT

– And what happened to the ones I gave you?

– I threw them out.

– Bullshit, you didn’t throw them out.

– You ran out.

– No, I didn’t run out. I’m telling you the truth.

PACK UP

 You can’t fire Mike.

– You moron. You can’t even get your firing right.

– I’m fired? – Louis, come on.

– Pack up your things and go. Now.

– But I did everything you asked.

– I delivered the Carillo contracts.

– I don’t care.

GET UP
– Uh, you don’t have to, your honor.

– My motion is here.

– It better gets up here fast.

– Where the hell were you?

OPEN UP

– I don’t even think you really had panic attacks,

– let alone are going to therapy.

– Well, I am, and I opened up to you about it,

– and then you looked me in the eye,

– and you used Mike’s partnership to lure me back.
