Hawthorne: "Yes. So I did what he wanted me to do."
Kincaid: "But why would he want you to do something that could jeopardize his career?"
Hawthorne: "Jeopardize? It got him his promotion."
Kincaid: "Was that on your mind? Was it, Ms. Hawthorne?"
Hawthorne: "At the time, no."
Kincaid: "But you knew he wanted that promotion."
Hawthorne: "Well it wasn't a secret. He's very ambitious."
Kincaid: "And you wanted his admiration."
Hawthorne: "Yes, he was my boss."
Kincaid: "And your lover. You wanted his affection."
Hawthorne: "Yes."
Kincaid: "And what better way than to make him a gift of that promotion?"
Hawthorne: "That's not what this was about."
Kincaid: "Of course it was. He never asked you to do anything. You decided to get him what he wanted. And like all good gifts, it was a surprise."
Jack: "You didn't have to take the deal, Claire. You would have won the case."
Claire: "I know. . . but I thought that's what you wanted."

Claire: "I still don't think that's what Socrates had in mind."
"It's a juggling act -- pragmatism, idealism, cynicism."
Mac: "You didn't go up there out of obligation. You went up there to
show off your sense of moral superiority."
Kincaid: "It's not superiority. It's conviction. What happened this
morning is gonna stick with me for the rest of my life. And since when
is conviction a character flaw?"
