Liz: What’s wrong?
Madeline: We’re an African-American firm, right?
Liz: Yes.
John: What Black firm has a white name partner?
Liz: She was a name partner long before I got here.
Madeline: And she jumped the line then. Some of us had more seniority.
John: But she brought in Chumhum, a client we don’t even have anymore.
Liz: OK, I’m going home.
Madeline: Liz, we have to address this. We’re losing a lot of our associates, and most of them are Black. What is this firm if it’s not African-American? We’re just another midsized all-service Midwestern law firm, one of 50.
John: You need to replace Diane and promote to African Americans to partner.
Liz: You two?
Madeline: Any two. Start counting up how many Black associates we’re letting go. It’s not right.

Lucca: In London.
Marissa: Good, say hi to the queen for me. This friend is getting frustrated with her job and maybe wants to become a lawyer. What’s the quickest way she could become one?
Lucca: What do you mean the quickest?
Marissa: I don’t know. Is there some way to accelerate the process?
Lucca: Some schools offer a three-three program. You can go to law school during your last year of college.
Marissa: No, she’s not in college. She has a job. She just… OK, it’s me.
Lucca: You want to become a lawyer?
Marissa: I don’t know. I’m just checking. I hate being talked down to.
