Episode Quotes
Eli: As you pointed out, sir, some of our people are in contact with their people, so some cross-pollination is bound to occur.
Taylor: I’m not pollinating anything with Matt.
Eli: I didn’t say you were. I was just trying to imply that you are pillow-talking our business plan with him.
Taylor: I am not the leak, Eli, and to prove it, I’m gonna found out who it is. Happy?
Eli: Ecstatic
Jordan: Your management skills are as deft as ever.
Eli: Posner & Klein can kiss my hundred-grand-a-week retainer ass!

Jordan: Quite all right. If I were more prone to outbursts of emotions, I’d probably be doing a little jig.
Eli: That I would pay real money to see.
Keith: But I think it’s best if we go with someone outside the office with this. So, uh, I’ll give my old colleague Danny Meyer a call.
Patti: And this Danny character--where does he live?
Keith: I don’t know. What’s it matter?
Patti: I need to know I can track him down and kick him in the cojones if he messes this up.
Keith: And that’s why I’m not the guy to help you with this.
Frank: Be careful, Eli. Going against the visions.. .it’s risky.
Eli: Yeah? Well, if God wanted a puppet for a prophet, he should’ve chosen an accountant.
J.J.: I’m a swimmer. I don’t put alcohol or drugs in my body.
Eli: Absolutely. I was a mathlete. We had a similar ethos.
Jordan: But this is our firm. We’re equals. We need to make these decisions together and I need to respect that.
Eli: Yes, sir.
Jordan: It’s "Jordan." People call you “sir” now, Eli, not the other way around.
