Suits

Uh...

What is that, three in a row?

That would be four, actually.

Oh, God.

Come on. What do you say? We go five out of nine?

So you can keep abusing me? No, thank you. I'm done.

Oh, come on. I'll spot you three.

Game time's over, Wyatt. They're here.

They're here?

Get set up in the conference room.

Yeah. No, I'll just, uh...

Get set up in the conference room.

You did let him win, right?

It wasn't easy. The guy has the coordination of a two-year-old.

I know. The last time these venture capitalists came in,

I took him boxing to calm him down.

I basically had to punch myself in the face to let him win.

I don't get it. I mean, if he's such a genius,

why does he get so nervous around a bunch of investors?

Well, you spend two years

working on a satellite phone that fits in your pocket

and then bet the company on it.

You'd be a little nervous, too, I bet.

The prototype. I can't find it. I don't know where I...

You mean this?

(SIGHS) I don't know what I'd do without you.

- Fail miserably. - I would.

- Is that the, uh... - $20 million prototype, yes.

And you don't even get to look at this bad boy

until after we close the deal today.

Wow. They're like storm troopers.

Storm troopers don't write checks.

All you've got to do is walk in there,

show them how the phone works.

Right. And Suntech Digital

will be a new force in global communications.

Let's knock them dead.

All right.

Whoa, whoa. Where do you think you're going?

Into the room. With the people.

Wrong. That's the adult table in there,

and you haven't earned the privilege yet.

But I... I played air hockey with him.

You need to go back to the office and file the patent for the phone.

A patent? I don't know how to file a patent.

- Figure it out. - Can't we do that after...

No. And you keep talking, I'm going to start billing you.

And my time runs $1,000 an hour.

"But isn't this our time, Mr. Hand?"

I stand corrected. Your Fast Times at Ridgemont High quote,

that proves you belong at the adult table.

Right. That's a great movie, and it spoke to a generation.

Hey. You busy?

Okay. Have you ever filed a patent before?

I just got back from this meeting with Harvey,

and he wants me to file this patent,

but I have no idea what that paperwork looks like. So...

You know, any help in this arena would be really...

Did Harvey call you and tell you to do that?

If it isn't the golden boy. You're, uh, Harvey's project, right?

What's your name?

Mike. Mike Ross.

Gregory Boone. So what are you doing here?

Weren't you signing some big deal this afternoon downtown?

Well, evidently, I haven't earned the privilege yet.

You get the adult table speech?

Instead of watching the deal close, I get to file the patent.

Yeah, those suck.

Wait. You... You've done one of these before?

Like, a hundred. Why?

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

Oh. It's okay. You don't have to apologize.

I took care of it.

The patent claim? I negotiated a deal to get it done.

What are you talking about?

Gregory. He agreed to file it for me.

And all I have to do is proof his Bainbridge briefs.

Ah. That explains why he said to give you this.

And why he called you a sucker.

He called me a what, now?

Mike Ross, allow me to introduce the Bainbridge briefs.

- Which stack? - All of them.

Wait a minute. Are these all...

Still printing? Yeah. I give it about a half hour.

Oh. It's six printers, 23 pages a minute, 30 minutes.

That's 4,140 pages.

Plus all this.

Which means the next time you negotiate a deal,

I would suggest you get your facts straight.

Ugh! I am a sucker.

Mmm-hmm.

When did that happen?

See the money, wanna stay for your meal

Get another piece ofpie for your wife

Everybody wanna know how it feel

Everybody wanna see what it's like

I'll even eat a bean pie I don't mind

Me and missy is so early

Busy, busy making money

All right!

All step back I'm 'bout to dance

The greenback boogie

Nice of you to join us this morning.

For your information, Mr. Sunshine,

I've been here all night proofing. That belongs to... Okay.

Where's my confirmation?

Your what?

The fact that you don't know already concerns me.

Oh, you mean the patent thing?

The patent thing is the only piece of paper

that's holding up our deal from yesterday. Where is it?

On my desk.

Well, if it's not on mine by the time I get back,

I'm going to feed you to Louis.

No problem.

Please tell me that you filed that.

Patent? No, not yet.

I gave it to you yesterday.

The same time I gave you my Bainbridge briefs,

which you haven't finished.

I was here all night and I barely got through half.

And I was on hold for almost 11 minutes

before I gave up on your patent. So what's your point?

Look. I swear I will finish those filings.

But you have to give me this patent confirmation before Harvey gets back.

Sorry, Golden Boy. A deal's a deal.

What do you think you're doing?

Uh, I'm proofing briefs. Why? Is there a problem?

Yeah, there is. That's Gregory's responsibility.

Why are you handling it?

Oh, I volunteered.

He didn't pawn it off on you?

No. No. I mean, he didn't even want me to do it,

but I... You know, I had some extra time, so I insisted.

Congratulations.

You've shown loyalty to your fellow associates.

I know Gregory tricked you into doing his work.

I wanted to see how you'd react when pressed about it.

You held up. I respect that.

Thanks?

You see, but I don't understand something, though.

If you didn't know how to file a patent,

then why didn't you just run to Harvey?

He was busy.

But you see, Mike, that's why you come to see me.

Look, Mike, I know I can come across a bit

prickly.

But we're a team here.

That means I'm here to help.

Okay. All right.

So, can you help me now?

I already have.

All right. Thank you, Louis.

Donna. Blue is your color. Is Harvey back?

(CHUCKLES) No.

Can I put this on his desk?

Yes.

Will you tell him I put it there hours ago?

What time you want me to say?

11:00 a.m.?

Absolutely.

And then maybe I can use my access to his bank accounts

to buy myself a house in the Hamptons.

- 12:15? - No.

You wanted to see me?

Sit down.

I looked through your work on the Bainbridge briefs.

Spectacular.

You caught the discrepancies between

"listed assets" and "potential assets."

That had a huge impact, Mike.

Yeah. I know. Millions. But anyone would have caught that, right?

Um, out of the 50 associates that are under my purview,

not one of them would have caught that.

You just have this eye for detail, Mike.

I mean, no wonder why Harvey is so crazy about you.

It's amazing. I mean, I really, really, seriously appreciate that.

Hey, thank you, Louis. That...

That's nice.

You know that I pick

a pony out of the herd every year, don't you?

- A pony? - Oh, yeah.

Someone who shows potential.

Stamp my own little brand on him.

Mmm.

Are you that pony, Mike?

I work for Harvey.

As you should.

Good.

Well, listen, I have some work to get to.

So, maybe we can, uh, meet for lunch

tomorrow at the club, say 1:00 p.m.?

Uh, you know, tomorrow...

I know I just posed that as a question,

but I really didn't mean it that way.

Hey. What's up?

I just heard from Wyatt. He got a response from the patent office.

And?

It's been denied.

What?
