Harvey: We need people who think on their feet. Not another clone with a rod up his ass.

杰西卡：我也想，但所有高级合伙人都配备律师，这是规矩。
Louis: I'm sorry. What? Jessica, I deserve that promotion. My billables destroy his. And I'm here night and day doing whatever's needed instedad of swanning in and out of here whenever I please.
路易斯：不好意思，什么？杰西卡，我才够格升职啊。我的付费客户比他多，而且我不分白天黑夜干活，而不是由着性子想来就来。
Harvey: I must admit, he does make me sound very swan-like.
哈维：不得不承认，他这么说的确让我看上去游手好闲。
