Liz: So how is life at Reddick Lockhart?
Carmen: Did I do something wrong?
Liz: No, no, no, I just want to see how things are going.
Carmen: I like it here. There’s nothing to compare it to except law school, but it’s great to be out of the legal clinics. At a certain point, simulation feels like a waste of time. I’d rather be in the thick of it.
Liz: And now you are. I know you’re working with Barry in the Rivi maintenance.
Carmen: Yes, it’s a wonderful opportunity.
Liz: Rivi’s manager has requested that you take on a larger role.
Carmen: Really?
Liz: Rivi wants you to be his only lawyer.
Carmen: I don’t know what to say. That’s surprising.
Liz: Rivi has an unbelievable amount of charisma, but in my experience, it’s better to maintain a professional distance.
Carmen: I’m very professional.
Liz: Oh, I don’t doubt it, but you yourself said…
Carmen: Is the firm dissatisfied with my work?
Liz: No.
Carmen: It’s my intention to treat all my clients like humans even the ones who might be murderers or are definitely murderers, and I think Mr. Rivi might be responding to that because it’s something he hasn’t received…
Liz: OK, let me be very clear, Carmen. We’re talking about your own personal safety here.
Carmen: Yes, and I thank you. If you want me not to be involved with his case, I will completely understand.
