Quotes 

• Susan Weller : How's that adorable little boy?

  Matthew Casey : He's doing great.

  Susan Weller : So good to hear. No more bad news, I hope. Bill Harvey assured me that there weren't gonna be any more problems.

  Matthew Casey : No, no, no, everything's fine. That's not why I asked you to come by.

  Susan Weller : Are we finally going to talk about that state senate seat?

  Matthew Casey : I want to talk about Dearing's river walk proposal.

  Susan Weller : Dearing's... what?

  Matthew Casey : Dearing's proposal from 2011. You joined forces with him on it. You see, you said you knew Terri Martin from the Sun-Times, that you knew she'd play ball. So I looked up all her past articles. She wrote a lot of puff pieces on Dearing, back when he made that proposal. That's when I put it together. Dearing is one of your clients.

  Susan Weller : I can explain that.

  Matthew Casey : Have you ever heard of the expression "arsonist firefighter"?

  Susan Weller : What?

  Matthew Casey : It refers to a firefighter who starts fires just so he can put them out, be the big hero. You tipped off Dearing so you could get your hooks back into me, end up in the state senate.

  Susan Weller : That's absurd.

  Matthew Casey : Susan, I'm a decent, reasonable guy. But I have my limit. And putting Louie in jeopardy? That was ten miles past it.

  Susan Weller : Matt...

  Matthew Casey : I need you to get out of my life and stay out, or I will dismantle you. I don't care. I will lay you to waste and leave nothing behind but scorched earth. Don't even think for a second that I'm not serious. Get out.
