Quotes 

• Harvey Specter : Let's talk about you.

  Donna Paulsen : Ooh, my favorite subject.

  Harvey Specter : You know what I think?

  Donna Paulsen : Mm.

  Harvey Specter : I think your favorite subject didn't come up to me just to find out why I went to trial. You want something.

  Donna Paulsen : I sure do.

  Harvey Specter : And I think I might be ready to give it to you.

  Donna Paulsen : It's not sex.

  Harvey Specter : Then never mind.

• Louis Litt : Norma's dead.

  Donna Paulsen : What?

  Louis Litt : She died this morning taking care of her sister.

  Donna Paulsen : Oh, Louis, I'm so sorry.

  Louis Litt : You don't need to fake it, Donna.

  Donna Paulsen : I'm not faking it. She was a sweet woman.

  Louis Litt : She was a frickin' battle-ax is what she was! There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't want to rip out one of her varicose veins and strangle her with it!

• Donna Paulsen : Because today's your lucky day.

  Harvey Specter : And why is that?

  Donna Paulsen : Because it's the day you get to meet Donna.

  Harvey Specter : Let me guess. You're Donna.

  Donna Paulsen : Oh, you have no idea how Donna I am.

  Harvey Specter : Well, Donna, I'm Harvey...

  Donna Paulsen : Harvey Specter. You really think I'd be talking to you if I didn't know who you were?

  Harvey Specter : And how exactly do you know about me?

  Donna Paulsen : I know about everybody. What I don't know is why this is the first case you ever took to trial.

  Harvey Specter : Because it was a white-collar crime, not some drug dealer on a corner, which makes it the kind of case...

  Donna Paulsen : ...That puts your name in the paper.

  Harvey Specter : You're not just a pretty face, are you?

  Donna Paulsen : No, I'm not.

• Louis Litt : Look at this. It's her entire estate laid out on paper. She couldn't manage my calendar, but this crap fest she plans within an inch of her life.

  Donna Paulsen : And you want me to make sure these things are bequeathed properly?

  Louis Litt : You can stuff them in a giant piñata for all I care. I have to go find the perfect urn to throw her ashes off the top of the building.

  Donna Paulsen : She requested that?

  Louis Litt : She wanted them to be in here with me, but like hell I'm gonna do that!

• Mortician : [as Louis shops for an urn]  Have you made a decision, sir?

  Louis Litt : No, I haven't made a decision, you shyster dealer of death.

  Donna Paulsen : Okay, I think maybe we're gonna need another minute.

  Louis Litt : No, we don't. I don't need another minute to see that this looks like a pot from Home Depot, this looks like a lamp from Motel 6, and this looks like a goddamn howitzer shell. You are lucky that I don't take this mockery of a final resting place and shove it up your ass!

• Donna Paulsen : Here's the deal. I will take a bullet for you -- and I don't mean that literally -- but what you do for me is, when I need something, you give it to me. It's not just a one-way street.

  Harvey Specter : Will you also do some actual secretarial work?

  Donna Paulsen : Take a look at what I did with your calendar there, hotshot.

  Harvey Specter : Holy shit. When'd you get that done?

  Donna Paulsen : Mm. I told you I'm not like every other secretary. I'm Donna.

• Donna Paulsen : Love me how?

  [Harvey doesn't answer] 

  Donna Paulsen : That's what I thought. You either can't answer or you won't, which is bullshit because, obviously, you don't just look at me this way. You're capable of looking at me THAT way, but you don't want to let those worlds collide because you're afraid to risk anything.

  Harvey Specter : Because we have everything!

  Donna Paulsen : No, Harvey, YOU have everything!

  Harvey Specter : So, you're saying you want everything?

  Donna Paulsen : I don't know, Harvey, but what I do know is I don't want your pity.
