Quotes 

• Harvey Specter : [shown an autographed basketball]  You didn't forge this?

  Donna Paulsen : I am a lot of things, but I am not a monster. I would do that to neither Michael nor you.

  Harvey Specter : Oh, so he's Michael now?

  Donna Paulsen : Well, I'm Donna to him, he's Michael to me, which is what I told His Airness when he called.

  Harvey Specter : Wait a second. You're not kidding. He signed with me?

  Donna Paulsen : Well, technically, he signed with me.

• Rachel Zane : Relax, I'm not mad at you, but I do remember you being the person who told me not to force things that weren't meant to be.

  Donna Paulsen : Rachel, just because a person gives advice doesn't mean that they have to follow that same advice. That's one of the core principles outlined in The Book of Donna.

• Donna Paulsen : Listen to the words that I'm saying: You're getting drinks with Louis tonight.

  Harvey Specter : Fairchild's retiring.

  Donna Paulsen : Fairchild's dead.

  Harvey Specter : That's almost as good as the Jordan news

  Donna Paulsen : Eh, not to Fairchild

  Harvey Specter : Who gives a shit about Fairchild? The real tragedy is that I have to get drinks with Louis.

  Donna Paulsen : Which is why I got you a secluded restaurant with a table in the back where no one will see you.

  Harvey Specter : And you'll call a half an hour in and say there's an emergency.

  Donna Paulsen : Already in place, and if I can't get through, then I'll just have the waiter spill drinks all over Louis.

  Harvey Specter : You could have that done?

  Donna Paulsen : Oh, please. I could have Louis held captive in a Tibetan monastery if I wanted to.

• Donna Paulsen : Okay, so why are we really here? I mean, you didn't just bring me out to talk about Khaleesi.

  Rachel Zane : I did. Paul Porter says I look like her translator.

  Donna Paulsen : He's a Throner?

  Rachel Zane : Though he says I'm a less-attractive version of her translator.

• Donna Paulsen : No, nothing's wrong, and I know it's not my place, but I'm here to tell you that I think you're making a mistake.

  Jessica Pearson : Is this about me not giving people off for Columbus Day?

  Donna Paulsen : You know this isn't about that. Harvey laid it on the line with Daniel, and you didn't have his back.

  Jessica Pearson : Donna, I've had Harvey's back since the day I met him. For your information, when I found out what Daniel was up to, I had him guarantee partnership was on the table.

  Donna Paulsen : And then you let him give it to the wrong man.

  Jessica Pearson : That is on Harvey, not on me.

  Donna Paulsen : What are you talking about?

  Jessica Pearson : Daniel was worried that Harvey couldn't put the firm's best interests ahead of his own, and Harvey proved him right.

  Donna Paulsen : Or maybe you're just telling yourself that because you don't want to stand up to Daniel Hardman.

  Jessica Pearson : Donna, there's a reason why you are where you are and I am where I am, and that is because one of us sees the bigger picture.

  Donna Paulsen : You knew about Fletcher Engines?

  Jessica Pearson : What I know is that Harvey's time will come, and if this little incident gets him to think about other people for a change, then I'll take it.

• Donna Paulsen : Now, get the hell out of your office. I have work to do.
