The Undoing
Sundays 9:00 PM on HBOThe Undoing Quotes
Haley: Their case is vulnerable.
Jonathan: So you keep saying, um, although with a little more anxiety each time you say it. Here's my question. What's our case, Haley, because I don't really have clarity on that.
Haley: Our defense is wait and see. I told you, it's fluid.
Jonathan: Fluid. OK. Great, that gives me great confidence. Thank you.
Franklin: This is not what you needed to hear right now, but the idea that your ideal of a marriage was based on what your mother and I had? You've always had a way of chasing ghosts, Grace, of believing in things you shouldn't, and I am afraid that you are going to find a way to believe in him again.
Grace [slams her hand on the table]: Exactly how weak to do you think I am?
Grace: Whatever I feel for you? It doesn't matter because my mind is stronger than my heart. You know that about me. And while you may not be a murderer, you're not my husband. You'll never be my husband.
Jonathan: Come here, come here. Come here. It's me. It's me. It's me.
Jonathan upset me in a profound way the minute I first set eyes on him. I did ask you what it was you loved about him. I asked you whether he seemed so perfect for you because you had explained to him exactly what perfect for you meant, and he was just giving back what you wanted.

Jonathan: Well, there's no one else apart from Elena.
Haley: Elena and the one where you were distraught. The sad fuck.
Jonathan: Is that supposed to be funny?
Haley: I'm not funny.
Grace: I was on one of my walks.
Haley: One of your walks.
Grace: Yes. One of my walks. That's what I do. That's how I ground myself. I walk. Is that really so difficult to comprehend?
Haley: That you happen to ground yourself by walking within footsteps of your husband's bludgeoned- to-death lover? Yeah. It bumps me.
Jonathan: I didn't try to influence him.
Haley: It doesn't matter. You actually thought that you might win over the man whose wife you're accused of savagely killing. How much fucking charm to do you think you have?
Jonathan: I didn't see the harm. I really didn't. I didn't!
Haley: Do you ever?
Jonathan: Fine. I apologize. What's next.
Haley: You actually did think you could change your mind, didn't you? Oh my God. Of course.
Jonathan: What?
Haley: Why wouldn't he believe you? You cast a spell. You have done it with everyone you ever met. With a face like that, I have a handsome charismatic client, capable of mesmerizing. We will win this. We will get the jury to see in you what you see in you. What I see in you.
Jonathan: Wow. How'd I do. Did I pass?
Haley: Barely.
Fernando: My son had cancer, I put him into your husband's care; he fucked my wife. What kind of doctor does that?
Grace: What kind of mother ends up fucking her child's oncologist? I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and I've reached the point where I'm not taking shit from anyone. Mr. Alvez, were there other men? Were there other men? Were there?
Jonathan: I would only tell them that I am innocent.
Robert: Innocent is good, saying nothing is better.
Jonathan: I am innocent. [pounds table] Do you care?
Robert: Not really. Truth be told, I prefer my clients guilty. Takes the pressure off. I have to say, reading the police report, I would be very surprised if you were innocent. In fact, it would be difficult for an innocent man to present more guilty. Unless he was stupid, which I'm figuring you're not since you cure cancer and all.
You know, I should say up front that, in my experience, doctors tend to be assholes. The reason they tend to be assholes is because they get to be. They're doctors. My point is, you don't get to be one anymore.
Robert
I think your husband is a bit of dick, but not a killer. What do you think?
Robert
