There is one scene in “The Good Wife” that I like so much. Granted that I have an on and off feeling when it comes to Alicia Florrick’s character in the series, but there are some scenes when she kicks ass. Hats off to Juliana Margulies for such a brilliant portrayal!
There is one scene in Season 4, Episode 16. Alicia is pitted against Liz Lawrence (her nemesis from law school, played by Audra McDonald). Out of frustration that Alicia is winning the case defending a drug dealer client so coolly, Liz venomously tries to hurt Alicia with the one thing that could hurt her most. Alicia replies with a stone face and shows how it’s done.
Liz: “You know, we used to feel bad for you, The old gang from school. We all called each other after your press conference and said, can you believe it?”.. “Having your husband admit to sleeping with prostitutes. Now I see. You were made for each other.”
Alicia: “You know what I’ve thought of you since school?”… “Nothing.”
That scene showed Alicia’s core strength. And that is the inspiration for these verses.

Some things don’t bother me,
Like that smug smile of yours,
Pretending to show me one up.
Some things don’t bother me,
Like those hints you drop by,
Thinking they’d hurt me somehow.
Some things don’t bother me,
Like the nostalgia you try to revive,
Hoping they’d throw me off my game.
Some things don’t bother me,
Like the attitude you try to flaunt,
Believing it conceals your intentions.
Some things don’t bother me,
Because as much as I observe them and
As much as I am amused by them,
I never think about them,
For they are just a passing jest in my life,
For I am too busy living my life to its best.

Until later 🙂
