WILL: Hi. I’m sorry about this morning.
ALICIA: You don’t have to be sorry.
WILL: Can I come in?
ALICIA: Yeah. So… You’re my boss.
WILL: I know.
ALICIA: I’m a Junior Associate.
WILL: I know. [Alicia can’t stop fidgeting.] You came to my office. Last night, after you left, you came back to my office. Why?
ALICIA: Will, help me out, please. I mean, we had… We had whatever we had at Georgetown and I just-
WILL: But you came back.
ALICIA: I know. It was wrong.
WILL: Because you’re married? [Alicia doesn’t answer.] Okay, I have a suggestion-
ALICIA: I like work. I like working here. I don’t want everywhere I go to be a mess.
WILL: We’re not gonna talk about this. We’re not gonna say anymore okay?
ALICIA: Good.
WILL: We’re gonna go to dinner in one weeks time, and we’ll talk then.
ALICIA: Please don’t end up hating me. I need this job. I mean, I’m- I- I mean that- I’m sorry.
WILL: Alicia. It’s fine. We have bad timing. We’ve always had bad timing.
The Good Wife, 1x17 Heart
Oh, my goodness, I have no words for how good this scene is. I never expected to love this show, and this ship so much but my god. Josh Charles, where have you been all of my life? He absolutely broke my heart here, from his hopeful little “Hi,” to his exhausted “It’s fine,” when he faces says it is everything but. And how heartbreaking is his delivery of “But you came back”? And he never even tells her that he was looking for her too. God, and then the timing line. I am an unabashed sucker for the whole The One That Got Away thing and oh, that line. I love that line and everything implies. Now I wanna read angsty fic about them in Georgetown and it is nowhere to found! I am dissapoint, internet. :(
