Quotes 

• Louis Litt : You know, when we were in the bullpen, Harvey was like... Superman, and then, one day, Hardman decided to just knock him down a peg - gave him this bullshit assignment, undoable workload, unwinnable case - and I took it as a chance to break down his walls and offer my help, and I just thought, this just might be the chance that we could become...

  Mike Ross : Friends.

  Louis Litt : Yeah. And he looked at me - "how dare I?"

  Mike Ross : I get it. He's alone. He always has been. He always will be.

  Louis Litt : Always *was.* Harvey is not Superman anymore. He's Batman, and Batman needs Robin.

• Benjamin : It's you.

  Mike Ross : Aw, that's sweet. You remember me.

  Benjamin : Oh, yes. I remember everyone who's ever bamboozled me into giving them a top-of-the-line laptop. Their names are Michael Ross.

  Mike Ross : I didn't bamboozle you, Benjamin. I won it fair and square.

  Benjamin : And I've been tracking every Internet move you've made for the past ten months, waiting for the slipup.

  Mike Ross : Bet you thought you had me at teenybikini. com.

• Mike Ross : What's going on?

  Harvey Specter : Partners meeting. Essential personnel only.

  Mike Ross : In the middle of the night?

  Harvey Specter : You afraid of the dark?

  Mike Ross : I wouldn't be if I had my Cookie Monster with me.

  Harvey Specter : Well, then go get him, because we're finalizing the terms of the merger.

  Mike Ross : We?

  Harvey Specter : We.

  Mike Ross : So I'm a partner now?

  Harvey Specter : Easy, Marcia Clark. Jessica and I discussed it. You're responsible for making this merger happen. You deserve to be here.

• Jessica Pearson : [Jessica has just given Mike his own office]  You didn't just come through on the merger. You bluffed Hardman, turned Monica Eton, and put us over the top on Folsom Foods. Now that's a lot of coming through in the clutch and I wouldn't have saved your ass if I didn't think you deserved to be here.

  Mike Ross : I don't know what to say.

  Jessica Pearson : Well, the usual response is "thank you."

  Mike Ross : The usual road to getting here doesn't involve stabbing someone in the back.

  Jessica Pearson : Doesn't it?

  [Mike is silent] 

  Jessica Pearson : When I was 16, I came home, my mother sat me down, and said my parents were separating - "trial basis" - but the good news was she was going to get me a car to help with my sister. All my friends talked about how lucky I was to have it. I hated that car. Every time I got in it, I... it just reminded me.

  Mike Ross : Why are you telling me this?

  Jessica Pearson : Because five years later, that same car got me to Harvard, which led me here; so, you can think of this office as a reminder of what you did to Harvey or as a symbol of what you can accomplish at the firm.

• Donna Paulsen : I have a ton of old files that I need organized and shipped to storage, and I was wondering if you could maybe do that for me.

  Mike Ross : I...

  Donna Paulsen : Because I figured if you were suddenly doing things for people that they don't need you to do, didn't ask you to do, and don't want you to do, then maybe I'd get in on that.
