6 scenes

Would you rather have a client who committed a crime malum in se or malum prohibitum?

Neither.

And why's that?

I would rather have a client who's innocent.

Dare to dream, Miss Woods. Miss Kensington, which would you prefer?

Vivian

Malum prohibitum, because then the client would have committed a regulatory infraction as opposed to a dangerous crime.

Well done, Miss Kensington. It's obvious you've done your homework. Now, let's look at malum prohibitum a little more closely. It has been said-- [Elle raises her hand] Yes, Miss Woods?

I changed my mind. I'll take the dangerous one, because I'm not afraid of a challenge.

Vivian

Nice costume.

You, too. Except when I dress up as a frigid bitch, I try not to look so constipated.

Oh, Warner, do you remember when we spent those four amazing hours in the hot tub together after winter formal?

Uh, yeah.... [Vivian gives him an evil look] no.

Well, this is so much better than that! Excuse me; I have some shopping to do.

Vivian

Four hours, huh?

Emmett
[Emmett and Vivian are visiting Brooke in jail. When Vivian makes a rude comment about Elle and Callahan, Emmett is displeased with her unprofessional behavior, as he knew the whole truth about Callahan's advances on Elle.] (to Vivian)

You have no idea what you're talking about.

What's going on?

Emmett

Elle quit. Callahan hit on her so she quit.

Oh, my god. Scumbag.

Vivian
(realizes her mistake in wrongfully accusing Elle of something she didn't do)

Oh, God.

What?

Vivian

I feel so terrible, I made a huge mistake.

Emmett

Well, there's something we can do about it.

Vivian

You know, I'm still shocked that you didn't give Callahan the alibi.

It wasn't my alibi to tell.

Vivian

I know, I thought that was very... classy of you.

Vivian
[about Warner]

You know, when he first applied for Harvard, he got wait-listed. He got in because his father had to make a call.
[Elle was shocked by this because she got in with a convincing video essay, while Warner had to be put in a waiting list for transfer students.]
