We don't need her to prove how smart she is.

Many times I hear her say "I'm not a lawyer but" and explain and then the guest says she got it right (though she is not a lawyer). Well I am a lawyer and yes Rachel, you are a lot smarter than me and smart enough to pick up a legal point quickly!

We know you are smart Rachel, that is why we watch you! You don't need the pats on the head!
