Hello? This is Alicia Florrick. -Yes, Alicia. It's Valerie Jarrett. How are you doing today? -I'm... good.
Listen, I just wanted to call and tell you that I have been an admirer of yours for many years now. You-you have? -Yes, yes-- the way you started your own business, and... What does this say? What does it say? -"Stuck by your husband." -I am not saying that. And I admire the way you've set your own course. Uh, well, thank you, Ms. Jarrett. Have-have we met before, or...? No, we haven't, but I heard that you were contemplating running for State's Attorney. What? -She'll know it's me! -What do you want me to say? -Just encouragements, encouragements. And I wanted to encourage you to run. The only way women are gonna change the world is if they step up. Ms. Jarrett, may I ask, how did you hear I was contemplating running? How? Um, the grapevine. -Um, see, the thing is, Ms. Jarrett, -The grapevine? -my husband's Chief of Staff, Eli Gold, he's the only one contemplating me running. Actually, it's the furthest thing from my mind.
