- Son of a bitch, it was him.
- It wasn’t Alex, it was me.
- What did you just say?
- Louis said he wanted Samantha to get a win. And I thought, you’d be
happy.
- I don’t give a shit (мне всё равно) what you thought. You don’t do
something like that without running it by me, unless you’re ***** idiot.
- Harvey!
- I’m not an idiot. I was giving you a pleasable (приятную) deniability
(отрицание причастности) while helping our friends.
- No, you were ruining the deal we made with Faith.
- I didn’t know and I wouldn’t have done anything if you had just kept me
in the loop.
- Keep you in the loop? You’re lucky, I’m not firing you.
- Don’t you talk to me like that I’m a senior partner and I deserve.
- And I’m going against two of my closest friends, I’m doing all of this
when my mother just died. And I cannot even talk to one guy who can
even understand what the hell I’m going through. So, I don’t give a shit
if you are a senior partner or not.
- Do I even have to say it was not okay?
- No, Louis, you don’t. It’s just, this is harder than I thought it would be.
- It all may come as a shock to you Harvey. But I know a thing or two
about pushing down (подавлять) feelings. You just cannot expect to
have a funeral (похороны) and it all be over. It is okay to give yourself
a break.
- Since when you became so wise?
- Since spending all of these years with Stan. I know you don’t have Mike
now, but you do have me.
- Thanks, Louis, that helps.
- But right now we’re at war. And what do you say we do to end this thing?
Answer the questions:
1. What is this video about?
2. Was Harvey being rude?
3. Do you think people need to keep each other in the loop while working
on the same project?
4. Can people perform well under stress because of personal agenda?
