The Good Wife - "You're taller than I expected."

[odainath]

A re-post of Alicia and Eli's first meeting. I just love any interaction these two have with each other.



"Excuse me?"
"Just resting my eyes."
"And you are?"
"Eli Gold."
"My husband hired you."
"You're taller than I expected."
"Thank you."
"I thought as we're going to be in each other's lives, I should introduce myself."
"Oh, that's really not necessary."
"So, you're the force behind the force, huh?"
"No, I'm nobody, Mr Gold.  I'm just working.  Working here."
"You don't want him to run?"
"What did I say, that would suggest that to you?"
"Just your manner."



"And what does my manner suggest to you now?"
"Haha.  Quick question, what do you think of Kya?"
"No."
"What?"
"Your political squabbles are your own and not mine.  Don't try and manipulate me."
"You're right, my apologies.  You know, you and I are going to be the best of friends, Mrs Florrick, and do you know why?"
"I have no idea."
"Because you're cautious, and so am I.  Your husband isn't.  It was nice meeting you."
