emotions re: that finale.

Normally, I'd say 'things can't get much worse,' but we both know that's about as far from the truth as it gets.

So don't go and ruin this for me, too, alright?

[It's sort of a good thing that this guy doesn't know about that.]

Ruin what, exactly? Seems like you're sitting pretty now that you're in Jessica's pocket.

[michaelross]

[Oh, if Mike has any say in the matter, it'll be a good long while before he knows about that.]

And what other choice did I have, Harvey? Get fired? Because you already tried that.

[thelawsuit]

[For his sake, we all hope he's right.]

As far as I'm concerned, that's how it happened.

[michaelross]

[The poor kid has never been more exasperated in his entire life.]

She threatened me; my back was more than against the wall. I was only trying to help you, Harvey.

[thelawsuit]

[He's just... he's really disappointed in you.]

[michaelross]

I don't know what you want me to say.

[He's disappointed in himself, too. Don't worry.]

[reallyknowhim]

[Mike. Oh, Mike.]

It can always get much worse.

[michaelross]

[... Well. Thanks for the reality check.]

I'm trying really hard to stay a little bit positive, here, Donna.

[reallyknowhim]

After the stunt you pulled with Jessica? Remember who runs the associates pool, Mike.

[michaelross]

As if I can forget while nearly getting fired.

Look, whatever you have to say, I already know. If you're here just to be Harvey's sidekick and rub it in, save us both the time and don't.

[reallyknowhim]

[Harvey's side... kick? Did you really just go there with her, Mike? Something else must be at play, but she's just going to give you a look. So much disappointment.]

[michaelross]

[Wow, he really wishes everybody would stop looking at him like that.

He sighs, shaking his head.]

I'm sorry. I just– I've had– everything's ... falling apart.

What does "ruin" entail, in this instance? The possibilities, after all, are endless when it comes to the folks who think they pull the strings.

[michaelross]

You know: throw out the window, give up on, forget about, get bored with.

The things they usually tend to do with people like us, even though they try their hardest to deny it.

[He's in a mood after last night.]

[ethically]

I have it on good authority that that won't be a problem for you.

Make yourself known. If you want something badly enough, then you can't simply wish that they won't. It doesn't do any damn good. As cliché as it sounds, you have to be affirmative. Otherwise, they'll steamroll right over the thought of you.

[ Well, take it from her, Mikey. You can only get what you want when you demand it. ]

Sucks, doesn't it? Being the bad guy.
