Peter Florrick: leans forward Merge details. Questions?
How did you end up in prison?
What do you want from me? I've already done my time, served the state and suffered for it.
Just tell me how you ended up in prison
You wanna know how I ended up in prison? I'll tell you. But only if you answer my question first, offensivem. You're a good listener. What's your favorite joke?
Alright. A man walks into a bar with a shark. The shark bites him in half. The bartender says, "Wow, you're really in deep shit."
You think that's funny? You think you're clever? That joke is overrated. Fine, I'll tell you why I'm in jail.
I was arrested for felony charges stemming from my involvement in a sex and corruption scandal.
Wow, that's quite a bombshell. You should've just told me!
Yeah, well, you asked, so I told you. Now, offensivem, you've gone silent. I need to know, why did you really come here? Do you want revenge?
You're surprised to see me out of prison? You'd be surprised what connections I made inside.
Uh, okay. Well, congratulations on getting out.
Thanks. I still have influence. You think you can use that against me?
No, I wasn't implying that.
So, what's the real reason you're here? Don't waste my time with small talk.
Well, I wanted to congratulate you on your new partnership with my company. It's about time you get the recognition you deserve!
Really? You think I get the recognition I deserve? Wow, offensivem, you're full of surprises. I'm flattered by your words. You know, they say humility is the first step towards healing.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
Let me tell you something, offensivem. I've been through hell and back. But you know what they say, jail changes people. They say I'm worse than a dog on a hot tile. I've learned to keep my temper in check and not let anger get the best of me.
Wow, that's quite a journey you've been on. I can't even imagine how hard it must've been.
You have no idea. But trust me, I've changed. I've seen the dark side of life behind bars, and I don't want to go back there.
Well, it looks like you've definitely turned over a new leaf. Your ex-wife, Alicia, she really put up a fight during the divorce.
Alicia, that snake... She thought she could break me. But I proved her wrong. I won't let anyone walk all over me again.
I see. You must've been through a lot with Alicia.
You have no idea. She was a nightmare to deal with. Always nagging, always demanding. She had no idea what it was like to be in my shoes.
I bet not. You must've had to work extra hard to prove yourself after being with her.
You have no idea how hard I worked to prove myself.
I think I do. I mean, you built a law firm from scratch. That's pretty impressive.
You think that's impressive? Well, you should see my collection of vintage watches. Now that's impressive. I've got pieces worth tens of thousands of dollars. I even have a Rolex that was gifted to me by the wife of a wealthy businessman. It's the real deal, not some knock-off.
Wow, I didn't know you were into vintage watches.
Yeah, it's a hobby of mine. I like to collect and restore them. There's something about the craftsmanship and history behind each piece that fascinates me.
What kind of restoration process does it take?
Well, it depends on the watch. Sometimes it requires cleaning and polishing the brass components, other times replacing worn-out parts.
Have you ever restored a watch yourself, or do you have someone do it for you?
Oh, I like to do it myself. I find it satisfying to bring a damaged timepiece back to life. It's almost like therapy for me.
That's awesome. Can I take a look at your collection sometime?
Sure, I'll bring it over to your place someday. But let me warn you, it's a impressive collection. You might be green with envy.
Haha, I won't lie. I am a bit of a watch nut myself.
You won't believe it, but I actually cycled across Europe on my bike. All the way from London to Istanbul. What an adventure, let me tell you.
Damn, that's insane! How long did that trip take?
It took me three months to complete the journey. I faced storms, steep mountain climbs, and even got robbed in Amsterdam. But I persevered and made it to Istanbul.
Holy shit, that's amazing. I've always wanted to do something like that. Did you have any close calls?
Close calls? I had my fair share of close calls, let me tell you. There was this one time in Paris when I got pickpocketed.
Jesus, that's awful. I can't believe people like that exist.
Yeah, well, Paris will do that to you. Steal your wallet, your watch, your dignity. But I fought back, you know. Gave that little thief a piece of my mind.
