Suits in Joe Quincy's Office

Business suits joked about during Associate Counsel Joe Quincy's orientation in his grungy steam pipe trunk distribution venue office. Blair Spoonhour, C.J. Cregg, and others tease that staff could hang them on the exposed steam pipe to press wrinkles with ambient heat. This gag paints the office's rundown conditions without showing the suits themselves, fueling ribbing that welcomes Quincy as the Vice President's lawyer.
