Suits Episode - Investment Bankers vs. Lawyers Line?

Anyone recall the line from today's episode of suits? From Louis's conversation with the takeover threat?

"We're not lawyers, we're investment bankers. We just call you for the paperwork. We didn't go to Harvard, we went to Wharton, and we saw you coming a mile away." -Louis Litt

Check out the scene below.

"We're not lawyers, we're investment bankers. We just call you for the paperwork. We didn't go to Harvard, we went to Wharton, and we saw you coming a mile away."

This was the most in your face, alpha quote, in television history.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Pretty cool minus the Harvard/Wharton part. Pretty sure bankers come from Harvard too and honestly they seemed more like PE

...Ya, I know...

Donna/Rachel looked fucking glorious in the episode.

You sir are both a gentleman and a scholar.

HNNNNNGGGG @ Donna and Rachel in this episode

Lmfao. +1 to this quality post.

As soon as I saw that scene I knew this would come up here.

 

Thanks for the link. Agreed on Rachel. Donna just doesn't do it for me, but God almighty, Rachel has such appeal.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

Donna is an absolute dream woman. Even more so as a wife.

Yes to both. Don't forget Katrina though

I don't think I've heard any character on the show say the words "Harvard Law School" -- they just say "Harvard."

It drives me f*cking crazy.

Louis gets shit on so hard in every episode so far, it's awesome!

Unaware of misc crew on this forum. Aware me?

...srs. no hetero

** RIP ZYZZ ** We're all gonna make it brahs
 

Searched for the quote online, and this thread was one of the top hits. That moment was pure gold.

Seeing Donna in that black dress made my heart skip a beat.

 

I'd take Donna over Rachel any time. She is just so fine with the body and red hair... but her attitude just tops it all. It's pure eyegasmic. ZDAYMMM

 

Historically I was a Rachel man but Donna is slowly winning me over this season. It must be an age thing as I get older.

Coincidentally for this financially focused forum and topic at hand, the actress who plays Donna in Suits is married to a hedge fund manager in real life who happens to have an MBA from Wharton.
