- Donna Paulsen: You've got Ellis at 4:00 today, McKinney at 10:00 tomorrow, Chamberlain at 2:00, and when should I pencil you in to go see Mike?
- Harvey Specter: See him for what?
- Donna Paulsen: To be a friend.
- Harvey Specter: Donna, as far as he's concerned, I sold him out to win the takeover. I am the last person he wants to see right now.
- Donna Paulsen: And I would agree with all that, except for the fact that Mike got fired.
- Harvey Specter: What? When?
- Donna Paulsen: Last night, and I wasn't gonna tell you because you should be hearing it from him -- but men are idiots, and they would rather be alone and miserable than ever run the risk of being accused of needing someone.
- Harvey Specter: He has Rachel.
- Donna Paulsen: Who is the one person Mike believes will stand by him no matter what, which makes her the one person he won't believe when she says he didn't completely fail.
- Harvey Specter: How important is the meeting with Ellis?
- Donna Paulsen: He says it's urgent.
- Harvey Specter: Tell him I have to reschedule.
- Donna Paulsen: [looking at her scheduling book after Harvey leaves] That's weird. I already did.
- Louis Litt: Mike, listen to me. I know I'm mad at you about Sheila, but I don't care about that right now. You cannot take a job with that man.
- Mike Ross: I don't have any other options, Louis. And I'm in this position because you paid that man greenmail to walk away from my deal in the first place.
- Louis Litt: Believe me, I wish I hadn't.
- Mike Ross: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
- Louis Litt: Mike...
- Mike Ross: You know what? Doesn't matter. None of it matters.
- Louis Litt: This is about Rachel, isn't it? She told me she hurt you. Believe me, I understand, but you cannot do this because of that.
- Mike Ross: This is a job, Louis, all right? I'm not robbing a bank.
- Louis Litt: It's not a job! It's a decision, and I'm not gonna let you make it.
- Mike Ross: Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?
- Louis Litt: Anything I have to.
- Harvey Specter: I want to bring Mike back.
- Jessica Pearson: That is not a conversation I ever want to have.
- Harvey Specter: Jessica...
- Jessica Pearson: Harvey, I haven't slept better since his last night, except for every night since, and I'm not going back.
- Louis Litt: I broke the law.
- Katrina Bennett: Please keep your voice down.
- Louis Litt: Why? Let any man judge me. So says the good book.
- Katrina Bennett: No, it doesn't.
- Louis Litt: You know what? I think I know what the goddamn good book says.
- Katrina Bennett: Listen to me. You did what you had to do.
- Louis Litt: Oh, really? Well, that's not what you said when you found out. You said, "Louis, that's illegal."
- Louis Litt: Jessica offered me anything I want as a reward for my heroism, and we're gonna figure out what that is.
- Katrina Bennett: What's to figure out? Named partner.
- Louis Litt: No, not that. Anything but that.
- Katrina Bennett: What do you mean, "anything but that?" There isn't anything BUT that.
- Louis Litt: Oh, you think I didn't ask for it? The words were out of my mouth faster than Esther when she was thirteen.
- Katrina Bennett: Louis, I don't care about your slutty sister. You deserve named partner.
- Louis Litt: And I don't care that you don't care, because it's not gonna happen. Now, we were given a chance to take the high road, and that's exactly what we're gonna do.
- Katrina Bennett: If I were ever going to be attracted to you, now would be the time. Instead I'll prepare a list of demands befitting a hero.
- Louis Litt: Good. And don't ever talk about being attracted to me again. It weirds me out.
- Katrina Bennett: Louis, you have been a hero again and again, and if the one time they actually treat you like one you crossed a little line to get there, that doesn't make you horrible. It makes you Harvey.
- Louis Litt: You know what? You're absolutely right, and as of this second, I'm going to start acting like the hero that I am.
- Louis Litt: [to the waiter] Hey, jerk-off. Who do I have to blow to get some more nuts?
- Harvey Specter: Louis hires you, you don't run it by me, you don't even tell me it's happening. All I am to you anymore is a clean set of sheets.
- Mike Ross: [quoting back at Charles] I thought I was "an obsequious little shit."
- Charles Forstman: You are -- but so was I when I was your age, and look what happened to me.
- [Mike shows up bloodied at Harvey's door]
- Harvey Specter: Forstman?
- Mike Ross: Logan.
- Harvey Specter: Gillis.
- Mike Ross: Rachel.
- Harvey Specter: Get the hell in here.
- Harvey Specter: Jonathan, I know what he did, but he thought he had no choice.
- Jonathan Sidwell: When a person thinks he has no choice is when you see his true character.
