00:12And now I'm going to bring out the cast, including a couple of ATX guest stars.
00:17So first, I'm going to introduce Robin Ross from our partner, Entertainment Weekly, that's
00:22going to be also moderating and helping out.
00:27Creator, Aaron Korsh, Megan Markle, Gina Torres, and I'd like to announce newest ATX ambassador
00:54Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Mott, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman,
01:34Nick Wexler, and Abigail Spencer.
01:54Thank you guys.
01:56Yeah.
01:57That's amazing.
02:02Hi, baby.
02:09I love Austin.
02:15I think we're here for a table read for the 100th episode of Suits to celebrate.
02:27I wanted to start by saying I wrote this script, it seems like 100 years ago.
02:32And I was proud of it, but they were just words on the page until these six people made every
02:39person in this read come alive.
02:44I remember meeting all of them for the first time.
02:48It was amazing.
02:50And I want to say, having said all that, fuck up one line today.
02:54I'm going to recast it.
02:58All right.
02:59Let's get started.
02:59You guys ready?
03:00Yeah.
03:01Let's do it.
03:03All right.
03:04In my way, can I just say one thing?
03:05In my recollection of this process of shooting the pilot, it was all improvised.
03:10So I don't know what to add.
03:12Well, then let's close our script.
03:20Lisa, I don't normally do this, but since we are celebrating, what time do you get off
03:24tonight?
03:25Oh, I'm glad you asked.
03:26I get off at 10 past.
03:27I'm never going out with you.
03:29Oh.
03:31Oh.
03:37I guess you're not the best closer this city's ever seen.
03:40Oh.
03:41This feels like I'm playing the exact same way that we did it.
03:47That's so weird.
03:48You did it so good.
03:48Should we just, like, kind of, like, turn it on its end and do something different?
03:51British accent.
03:51Let's give it a shot.
03:54Woo!
03:55There you go.
03:57Okay, like, we can talk like this the whole time.
03:58Like, hey, what's up, buddy?
04:00Second, the way our agreement works is the minute Cooper signed the deal, which gave
04:04you everything you wanted, our fee was due and pay a ball.
04:09Everybody knows.
04:10You've all seen it.
04:11He runs out.
04:12He bursts through the door.
04:12The proctor's chasing, and Mike doesn't know what to do.
04:14He turns left.
04:15He turns right.
04:16He runs into the bathroom.
04:17He takes his shirt off.
04:18He takes his glasses off.
04:19He's about to take the cap off, but he doesn't throw it in the trash can.
04:22He gets out of the room.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Takes his pants off.
04:26Takes his underwear off.
04:27His socks.
04:28His shoes.
04:29Everything.
04:30At this point, if we had that cool song, you'd hear it.
04:35da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
04:42All right.
04:48The Green Bad Boogie!
04:53Well done.
04:57The mighty Donna Paulson.
04:59Harvey pokes his head out of the inner room.
05:02Donna, we're gonna need to streamline this.
05:04give each guy a hard time. Before you
05:06send them back, give me a wink, and if they say something
05:08clever. Give me a wink
05:10if they say something clever.
05:12Okay? Okay.
05:14What are you looking for?
05:16Another me. Mr. Sorkin, you're five minutes
05:18late. Is there a reason
05:20why I should let you in?
05:22Uh, look, I'm just
05:24trying to ditch the cops, okay?
05:25I don't really care if you let me in or not.
05:29Harvey opens the door.
05:30Finally, we get a wink from Donna.
05:32They found the guy.
05:37He walks into the firm. He's stunned.
05:40It's amazing. He can't believe it.
05:42All of a sudden, out of nowhere.
05:44Mike Ross.
05:49He turns around. He's been hit
05:51by a bolt of lightning because
05:53he's met Rachel Zane.
05:58Hi, I'm Rachel Zane.
05:59I'll be giving you your orientation.
06:01Uh,
06:03wow, you're pretty.
06:04Okay, good. Good. You've hit on me.
06:06We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
06:08No.
06:09What? No, I'm sorry. I wasn't hitting on you.
06:11Trust me, I've given dozens of these,
06:12and without fail, whatever new hotshot it is
06:15thinks that because I'm just a paralegal,
06:17that I will somehow be blown away
06:18by his dazzling degree.
06:20But let me assure you, I won't.
06:22Uh, take notes.
06:23I'm not going to repeat myself.
06:25She walks away.
06:26I love you.
06:29Civil liability associated with the agency
06:32is based on several factors,
06:34including the deviation of the agent from his path,
06:37the reasonable inference of agency
06:38on behalf of the plaintiff
06:39and the nature of the damages themselves.
06:46How did you know that?
06:48I learned it
06:49when I studied
06:50for the bar.
06:55I mean, it's cool.
06:55It's cool to see the beginning of,
06:57like, I'm going to,
06:57that line,
06:58I'm going to be the best goddamn lawyer
07:00you've ever seen,
07:01and to think now what we're shooting is,
07:03he is the best, you know,
07:05under this guy,
07:06the best goddamn lawyer,
07:07and this lady.
07:09Okay, he's maybe not the best yet,
07:10but he's going to be there.
07:12The 100th episode,
07:13here's the funny thing,
07:14we haven't even really finished writing it yet.
07:17We're going to shoot it in about two weeks.
07:18That's the way it goes on Suits,
07:19I'm sorry to say.
07:20But we have built to
07:22what we hope will be an awesome episode.
07:24We try to, you know,
07:25build a story that's really satisfying
07:27and really good,
07:28and hopefully it'll be another good episode.
07:31Who out of the cast do you think
07:32would be most likely
07:34to make it as a real lawyer?
07:36Oh.
07:39I'm so happy that,
07:41especially reading the pilot again,
07:43you get to see where she started,
07:44even saying,
07:45you know,
07:46talking about Harvey Specter
07:47and saying,
07:47but I don't really know him
07:48or work with him,
07:49and to watch that progression,
07:50she's worked so hard,
07:52and I love that as a role model,
07:54how she's been crafted
07:55to balance it all,
07:57but yeah,
07:58now have this place at the firm
08:00where she really knows her standing,
08:02and her office isn't just because
08:03she's a good researcher,
08:04it's because she's an associate.
08:06She's really earned that spot.
08:08applause
