Diane: Uh Marissa, I need to ask you a question.
Marissa: OK.
Diane: Who’s president?
Marissa: Who?
Diane: Yes.
Marissa: Diane, are you microdosing again?
Diane: No, well maybe. I don’t know. Isn’t Trump president?
Marissa: Haha, no.
Diane: So it’s Hillary?
Marissa: Yes.
Diane: I dreamt that Donald Trump was our president.
Marissa: Ha, really, how’d that go?
Lucca: Diane?
Diane: Merrick Garland and Elizabeth Warren are on the Supreme Court?
Lucca: You’re worrying me, Diane.
Diane: What happened to Kavanaugh?
Lucca: Who’s that?
Liz: Are you all right Diane?
Diane: Liz, I have never been better. Don’t you know that cancer is cured?
Adrian: Yes, but the administration’s not telling us how or when.
Liz: Lucca is worried about you. Should we be?
Diane: Oh no, no, no. I just had this weird dream.
Liz: Lucca said Trump was president. How’d that go?
Diane: Oh my god, he kept calling Nazis very fine people, and he aided a senate campaign for a child molester, and he put children in cages.
Adrian: Why?
Diane: Immigration policy, and uh anti-Semitism and racism were on the rise.
Liz: And where were the Obamas during all of this?
Diane: They had an overall deal at Netflix.
Diane: What?
Marissa: Your new client, it’s Harvey Weinstein.
Diane: The producer?
Marissa: Yes.
Diane: How is he our client?
Marissa: You argued David Boies wasn’t serving him well.
Diane: I argued? What about his issues?
Marissa: The anger issues?
Diane: No, the rape ones.
Marissa: I didn’t know there were rape issues.
Diane: No one has accused Weinstein of rape yet?
Marissa: No.
Diane: Or of masturbating into plants?
Marissa: What, no, ew. Why was he masturbating into plants?
Diane: I… I don’t remember. A few of them were.
Marissa: What was going on in your world?
Diane: So no one has come forward yet, right, here in…
Marissa: Reality? No, not that I know of. Who else was masturbating into plants?
Diane: I don’t remember. There were so many men with issues.
Adrian: Diane, what is going on with you? Now, you’ve told me yourself you like his movies.
Diane: He is a serial rapist, Adrian. A sexual predator.
Adrian: And how do you know that?
Diane: Because I… because of these women coming forward.
Adrian: These women are coming forward for attention because he’s a screamer. You know, you’re saying he’s guilty until proven innocent.
Diane: No, I am looking at the evidence.
Adrian: There is no evidence Diane.
Judge: OK, OK, stop. I get it. I’m ready to rule. Your discovery request Ms. Anne Howard is denied. I’m not seeing any evidence of real harassment.
Anne Howard: Your honor?
Judge: No, this is a simple case of ‘he said, she said.’ In fact, it’s worse. The case rests on an old cliché: the Hollywood casting couch. Well, that may have been true in the old studio system, but with major Wall Street companies like this, no one would risk that kind of exposure.
Diane: Justice is an equation.
Lucca: What kind of equation.
Diane: Justice equals the law times the zeitgeist. The law on its own doesn’t stand up. You need to mood of the times on your side.
Lucca: This is exactly what I’m talking about Diane. I need face time with our top clients, and you keep finding ways to stop it. I’m going with these papers. The client wants it, and I want it.
Diane: Lucca, listen to me, listen to me. This is how it’ll go: You will bring those court papers to the hotel concierge. And he will call up and Weinstein will apologize and say he can’t come down, could you bring them up to him? So you’ll ask the concierge to bring them up to get them signed but Weinstein will say he only has a few questions for you, and it’ll only take a minute. So you will go up, and he’ll answer the door, and he’ll be wearing a robe. And then he will ask you to help him with something in the bathroom. He will be naked.
Lucca: Come on.
Diane: He will naked.
Lucca: Diane?
Diane: And he will ask you to massage his shoulders and his back, or he’ll ask you to watch him take a shower.
Lucca: Diane, stop, stop it. Look at me. Trust me. I can take care of myself. I am going.
Marissa: Do you think Diane is a witch?
Lucca: No, I just think she knows how men work.
Adrian: Did you call Weinstein’s person a pimp?
Diane: Yes I did.
Liz: Why?
Diane: Because she’s a pimp.
Liz: A pimp, as in…
Diane: She procures sex for Weinstein.
