Kurt: I’ll pack a lunch, we’ll rent a boat, and breathe something other than car exhaust for a few hours. And the good news for you, cell phone coverage.
[phone rings]
Diane: Hold on a second. [switches to other line] Hello?
Jack: You don’t hate me, right?
Diane: Uh, Jack? Hello.
Jack: I said I’d take you out some other time so I’m calling to find out that other time.
Diane: When do you have in mind?
Jack: I was thinking Friday night. Unwind after work…
Diane: I, um, but… Can you hold on a second? [tries to switch to other line] Kurt?
Jack: No, Jack.
Diane: Oh. Hold on a second, um…
Jack: Who’s Kurt?
Diane: He’s, uh, he’s just a… a business associate. I will be right back…
Jack: Jack.
Diane: Jack. Hold on. [switches to other line] Hello?
Kurt: Look. If Horse Tail lake doesn’t cut it for you then we can —
Diane: No no no, it sounds fun. When were you thinking?
Kurt: Saturday morning. Pick you up at eight.
Diane: Perfect, I will see you then. Bye. [switches to other line] Still there?
Jack: Yup.
Diane: Friday night sounds good.

When I think of her, I think of a woman. She is so classic with those amazing long legs. She’s so striking. The fact that she can sing as well as she does, act as well as she does, laugh as well as she does and also be able to tell me who the starting offensive line of The Buffalo Bills is. That’s my kind of lady. I’ll support her anywhere. x

After the pilot and the first couple episodes, I got a lot of feedback from people. Many of whom said, ‘Oh, fabulous,’ ‘Oh, you’re going to be the bitch,’ and then a lot of people saying ‘Wow, you’re really one tough lawyer. Ooh, you’re the mean one.’ And I just thought ‘Well, are we just going to fall into a stereotype?’ And I so didn’t want to be that. I always think that’s the best possible thing you can do as an actor, is not give people what they’re expecting.
I remember one of the things I did to prepare for this role was see that Anna Wintour movie, The September Issue. It was all about Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, at work. She’s got this reputation for being the ‘Ice Queen.’ ‘Nuclear Wintour,’ you know? I saw this movie and I have to tell you, she was a hard working woman, in sensible shoes… she was often photographed with circles under her eyes, and not a lot of lipstick because she was too busy to reapply it. She wasn’t mean, she just was getting the job done. And that’s what I would like to think of Diane, on any given day… yeah, she can be tough. She can be tough in court, she can use that particular skill. But on other days, she can have fun with her partner or be supportive of a female colleague. It’s just not so simple.
We do like to simplify our female characters, and I just have marveled at how [The Kings] have written it so that it’s just not the obvious.

I’ll take my scenes out of the “Good Wife” scripts, and in order to memorize the legal dialogue, I go to the reservoir and repeat the sentences over and over while I’m walking. People see this woman talking to herself; they don’t know I’m doing legal dialogue. They just think I’m a madwoman walking quickly, passing everybody by. (x)

Eli: I don’t like losing. I’m always looking for when things start to turn south. What if it’s now?
Diane: Eli, we’re gonna wallow for a few hours now. We’ll drink. I’ll put you in a cab. You will sleep it off. You won’t feel good in the morning. You will come in late, but you will come in. We’ll sit. We’ll talk. You’ve been lording it over us, up until now.
Eli: I have not.
Diane: Yes you have. Don’t argue. You are brilliant. But you’re not god’s gift. We’ll sit and talk, we’ll hatch a plan. And Stacie Hall is going to rue the day, and that’s a fact. But, for the moment…The Good Wife - 3.09 “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”
