Saul Gone

Better Call Saul 6×13

Mike: Slow down. You're gonna make yourself sick.

Jimmy: First thing we do, take six million bucks and build a time machine. Those people that you're worried about? They'll never find us.

Jimmy: Where would you go first, huh? ......
Mike: Oh, Christ. Mm. Hmm. December 8, 2001.
Jimmy: Why?
Mike: No. No. March 17, 1984... Day I took my first bribe. And then I'd go forward. There's some people I'd like to check on in five or ten years, make sure they're doing okay. You?
Jimmy: It's easy. May 10, 1965. That's the day Warren Buffett took over at Berkshire Hathaway. I figure, got a million left from building the time machine, so I'd take my half and just stick it into Berkshire. Then I'd come back here and... I'm a billionaire. Ohh. Is there such a thing as a trillionaire?
Mike: That's it. Money?
Jimmy: What else?

Saul Goodman: Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do, and so do I. I believe that, until proven guilty, every man, woman, and child in this country is innocent. And that's why I fight for you, Albuquerque! Better Call...

Jimmy: ... Uh, one more thing. Um... Just call the main office. The... The number is on the bulletin board. And, uh, let them know, um... you're gonna need a new manager.

Jimmy: Listen. You hear that?
Oakley: Hear what?
Jimmy: Bang, bang! That's opportunity knocking. Get off your ass and answer the door.

Oakley: The DA has a warehouse of evidence against you... I can't even begin to imagine what the Feds are sitting on. No matter who your lawyer is, you are screwed. So I've gotta ask... Where do you see this ending?
Jimmy: Where do I see it ending? Um... With me on top. Like always.

Marie Schrader: They tell me they found you in a garbage dumpster. Well, that makes sense.

Jimmy: Two years ago a man came into my office. He said his name was Mayhew. He wanted one of my clients to lie under oath. He offered me money. I declined. Any lawyer would. That night, as I was leaving my office, I was attacked. Two men threw a sack over my head, they hogtied me, and they drove me out into the desert. And when they pulled the hood off, I was kneeling in front of an open grave. With a gun pointed at my head. That was my introduction to Walter White. From that moment on, there hasn't been a minute that I wasn't afraid...

Jimmy: Mrs. Schrader... you are looking at a man who has lost everything. My profession. My family. My freedom. I have... I have nobody. I have nothing.
George Castellano: And you think jurors are gonna buy that?
Jimmy: One. All I need is one.

Jimmy: Oakley tells me that you've never lost a case.
George Castellano: Is that so?
Jimmy: That's a hell of a record. You should be proud of that. Still... Juries, right? Whew. You never can tell. It's a roll of the dice. I'm just... I'm hoping there's some wiggle room.
Marie Schrader: You are not going to negotiate with this man! You're not.

Jimmy: Seven and a half years...

George Castellano: FCI Butner Low. Wing...
Jimmy: D. Wing D.
George Castellano: "Wing D." And now we are done!
Jimmy: Ah, as Steve Jobs used to say... one more thing. "Twenty. During incarceration, Defendant Goodman to receive one pint Blue Bell mint chocolate chip ice cream every Friday for the duration."
Oakley: Are you kidding? He's kidding.
Jimmy: "Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip." No substitutions.

Jimmy: Am I gonna be sorry if I ask what's going on?

Jimmy: Hey, you're a scientist, right? So, uh, I have a question. What would you do if you had a time machine?
Walter White: A time machine?
Jimmy: Yeah, um... From a scientist's point of view. You can go backwards, forwards. Uh, where would you go?
Walter White: A meaningless question.

Jimmy: There's gotta be something you'd go back and change if you could.
Walter White: Oh, you are not talking about a time machine, which is both a real and theoretical impossibility. You are talking about regrets. So if you want to ask about regrets, just ask about regrets and leave all this time-traveling nonsense out of it.

Oakley: What more are you gonna get? What's left?
Jimmy: You don't understand. It's really good ice cream.

Jimmy: It's showtime.

Judge Samantha Small: Okay, item one on the calendar, CR 10-7253 United States of America versus... Defendant has requested to use the name Saul Goodman. So it's "United States versus Saul Goodman."

Jimmy: Two years ago a man came into my office. He said his name was Mayhew. He wanted one of my clients to lie for him under oath. He offered me money. I refused. That night, as I was leaving my office, I was attacked. A bag was shoved over my head, I was hogtied, I was driven out into the desert. And when they pulled the hood off, I was kneeling in front of an open grave with a gun pointed at my head. That was my introduction to Walter White! I was terrified. But not for long.

Jimmy: The name's McGill. I'm James McGill.

Inmate: I know you?... "Better Call Saul." Right?
Jimmy: McGill.
Inmate: What?
Jimmy: I'm McGill.
Inmate: Don't give me that. You're Saul! It's Better Call Saul.

Kim: Eighty-six years.
Jimmy: Eighty-six years... But with good behavior... who knows?

Francesca: How much longer, Saul?
Jimmy: You know what? I can't say. So pass along my sincerest apologies and tell 'em I'm swamped.
Francesca: Everyone can hear you bouncing that thing.
Jimmy: That's the sound of thinking. You should try it sometime.

Tammy: Kim, there's a Viktor St. Claire for you on line three.

Jimmy: Hey, Kim. You know who this is?... I'm gonna take that as a yes.

Jimmy: I thought you might wanna know I'm still alive.
Kim: Yep.
Jimmy: I'm still out here, still getting away with it. The feds couldn't find their own ass with both hands and a proctologist.

Jimmy: What is stopping you? Fring's in the ground. Mike's in the ground. Lalo's in the ground. Apparently. You don't have to hold back on my account. They can only hang me once. So... So go ahead. Spill your guts! Put on your hair shirt, see what it gets you!

Jimmy: So, Florida. Florida, Florida, Florida... Why there?
Kim: I guess...
Jimmy: It doesn't matter. Doesn't have to make sense.

Jimmy: All right. Well. Have a nice life, Kim.

Jesse Pinkman: What's up with this shit?
Kim: Rainy.
Jesse Pinkman: Yeah. No. It... It's crazy. It's like bananas, all this rain. I mean, I thought we were, like, in a desert, you know?

Jesse Pinkman: You, you got him off, like, scot-free. That... That was pretty slick, yo.
Kim: Well, tell him I hope he's keeping his nose clean.
Jesse Pinkman: Yeah, yeah, right on. Absolutely.

Jesse Pinkman: Hey, so, you having all this expertise and all... This guy Goodman? He the real deal? Like, lawyer-wise?

Jesse Pinkman: Anyway... Is this guy any good?
Kim: .... When I knew him, he was.

Jimmy: What did Jeff tell you?
Marion: Oh, he didn't tell me anything. Ask Jeeves told me. I typed in "con man" and "Albuquerque," and up you popped, big as day.

Jimmy: Whatever this is, can we please, don't do it in the desert? Anywhere but the desert!

Jimmy: This, we can... we can fix this. Whatever the problemo, we can fix it with dinero. Mucho dinero. Mucho, mucho, mucho dinero.

Francesca: Narca?
Thunder: Yeah. "Narca." The feminine version of "narco."

Francesca: How hot?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Francesca: Well... I still get followed. Not as often as when the shit first hit the fan, but I still see them. My mail gets opened. My phone at home clicks whenever I use it.
Jimmy: So the maestro buying the farm, it didn't change anything?
Francesca: No. If anything, it made it worse. Skyler White got her deal. So the only ones left to go after are you and Pinkman. And I heard they found his car down by the border, so, adios, dopehead.
Jimmy: Oh, so they're still into me. Well...

Francesca: Uh, remember Bill Oakley? He switched sides.
Jimmy: He came out, huh?
Francesca: No, he's not gay! He's a defense attorney now.

Jimmy: Okay, so, if you cook the blue stuff, then that means you're Igor and... And that makes you... You're Heisenberg. Wow.

Jesse Pinkman: You gotta give it some gas when you're backing up.
Walter White: I gave it the proper amount of gas.
Jesse Pinkman: I guess that's why we're moving, then.
Walter White: Look, it just was idling too long. It'll start.
Jesse Pinkman: Oh, you should a just let me drive, yo.
Walter White: Look, nothing would be different in this moment except you panicking and flooding the engine.
Jesse Pinkman: Bullshit.

Walter White: We just need to sit a moment. That's all. When it idles too long, the fuel pump overheats, and so we just need to let it cool down.

Jesse Pinkman: So. Who's Lalo?
Jimmy: Who?
Jesse Pinkman: Lalo. You thought some dude named Lalo sent us. You seemed pretty freaked out. Never heard of no Lalo on the street.
Jimmy: It's nobody.

Jimmy: Hello? You're on the clock, right? So give with the info anytime.
Mike: When you're done.
Jimmy: No, I can multitask, please.
Mike: I'm not gonna talk to you while you're on... whatever that is.
Jimmy: You know, LBJ used to have his underlings give him reports while he was on the shitter.
Mike: Uh-huh. Well, either I'm gonna leave, or I'm gonna put my foot in your skull.

Jimmy: Second story guy, second story guy. I got... I got more second story guys in my book than pimples at a Junior prom. What about, uh, that Heisenberg fella?
Mike: High school chemistry teacher.
Jimmy: You're shittin' me. Really?
Mike: Walter Hartwell White. Chemistry teacher over at JP Wynne. Working with a former student, current meth head, one Jesse Pinkman.

Mike: Now, listen, even if this guy was gonna live, I wouldn't go near him. He's a complete amateur.
Jimmy: Well, you see an amateur. I see... 170 pounds of clay ready to be molded.
Mike: Well, if the cancer doesn't get him, it'll be the cops or a bullet to the head.
Jimmy: Is that your appraisal or is that what "He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named" says about him?
Mike: He doesn't say anything. The guy's small potatoes.

Jimmy: I just... I got a feeling about this. This Heisenberg guy's got something. It's top of the line product, that's the buzz on the street, and I just think, with the right management...
Mike: You know, years ago, I bought a Betamax. Good product. "Top of the line." Experts said it was better than a VHS. Turned out to be a complete waste of time and money. Hmm? Let it go.
Jimmy: Guy with that mustache probably doesn't make a lot of good life choices. So, yeah, uh, the second story guy. Uh, Menard, you said?

Jimmy: So? A guy with cancer can't be an asshole? Believe me, I speak from experience.

Jimmy: It'll be fine. Relax...

Jimmy: "Crazy"? I'll tell you what's crazy. Fifty-year-old high school chemistry teacher comes into my office. The guy is so broke, he can't pay his own mortgage. One year later, he's got a pile of cash as big as a Volkswagen. That's crazy.

Jimmy: Oh, Jesus...
Frank: Gene?
Jimmy: Oh, God. You... You have a wife, right, Frank?
Frank: Well, yeah. Yeah.
Jimmy: Yeah? And she's waiting for you... Look at me. I got... I got no one. My parents are dead. My brother... My brother is dead. I, uh... I got no wife... No kids. No friends. If I died tonight... no one would care. What difference would it make?
Frank: Gene, buddy... No, I-I-I'm sure that you mean a lot to, you know... To a lot of... lots of people.
Jimmy: If I died tonight, my landlord would pack up my stuff. It'd take him three hours. And Cinnabon would just hire a new manager. Gene who? Poof! I'd be gone. I'd be... a... a ghost. Less than a ghost. I'd be a... a sha... shadow. I'd just be... nothing. I mean, Frank... what's the point, Frank? What's the poi... Ah!

Don Eladio: Gustavo... When I looked into your eyes... Hate. A little bit's okay. As long as you never forget who's boss.

Manuel Varga: What you talk about is not justice. What you talk of is revenge... It never ends. My boy is gone. You gangsters and your "justice." You're all the same.

Jimmy: I know that was tough, um, but it's over now. I mean really over. Let the healing begin.

Kim: I'm no longer an attorney. ... I gave notice to the bar two hours ago.

Jimmy: You did what?! Why... why?!

Kim: Look, Jimmy... J-Jimmy... You asked if you were bad for me. That's not it. We are bad for each other.

Kim: Apart, we're okay, but together... we're poison.

Jimmy: You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad?

Kim: ... Because I was having too much fun.

Point and Shoot

Eduardo: Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Focus. Hey!

Eduardo: Both of you, sit... Come on. Sit.

Eduardo: You two. God. You two and your mouths. Dios mio. Now, you listen...

Jimmy: A gun?!
Eduardo: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but don't worry. I mean, it's... it's very easy. It's a revolver. It's already loaded, no safety. It's idiot-proof.

Eduardo: They look through the peephole, you're as innocent as can be. Door opens, you point and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it's empty. Simple.

Eduardo: So, that's it. Hard part's over. Now you pull out the camera. Same principle as the gun, point and shoot.

Eduardo: Okay, so, one hour starting... now. Clock's ticking, Mrs. Goodman.

Gus: I understand blood for blood. Hector? I kept him alive. Kept him broken. I will save him to the last. Before he dies, he will know I buried every one of you.

Mike: This could have gone down a whole lot different.
Gus: It could have.

Jimmy: What are you doing?
Mike: You're getting a new refrigerator. I'm assuming stainless will do.

Mike: Let's sit... Sit.

Mike: All right, here's what's gonna happen...

Mike: So, you two are gonna go about your day. Normal. Same as ever. Today, you're Meryl Streep and Laurence Olivier. No staring into space. Nothing out of the ordinary. You cover. Anybody talks to you, it's just another day that ends in "Y", that's all.

Plan and Execution

Better Call Saul 6×7

Jimmy: Hey, hey, hey, come here, come here. How often do we get a chance to use our craft and shine, huh? To really slide inside the skin of yet another human being and make the kind of magic that other people only dream of?

Jimmy: Now, listen! Seize the day. Carpe diem. Don't live with regret.

Jimmy: Your character motivation remains exactly the same. You're on a covert mission to accept a very important package, and you want to play it casual, okay, but knowing, you know? An air of mystery, intrigue, conspiracy... You know what? Probably best if you just look sleepy.

Jimmy: What are we looking at here?
Camera Guy: Can't rush the process.
Kim: As long as there's an image, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Camera Guy: Can't rush the process.

Howard: Cary, what happens when you drop or shake a can of soda?... Right. Boosh... Let me show you a little trick... Something about the centrifugal force. It pulls the bubbles from the inside of the can, stops it from exploding.

Howard: You know who taught me that trick?... He used to do it, out of habit. Any time he opened a can, almost unconsciously. I asked him about it once. Just his way of being prepared for anything, accidental or otherwise.
Cary: Um. I'm sorry, I'm kinda new here. I have to ask... Who... Who is that?
Howard: Charles McGill. The "M" in HHM. The greatest legal mind I ever knew.

Rand Casimiro: Now, I'm happy to be here, but at the end, hopefully, all of you in the room and those listening from various locations won't be happy with me. And why do I say that? Because the best solutions mean compromise. It's compromise from both sides. That's my goal. But as my wife always says, 'compromising doesn't mean I'm right and she's wrong.'

Howard: Nobody move! Evidence has been tampered with.

Eduardo: Clever Chicken Man. Clever clever Chicken Man.

Jimmy: A gift? What's the occasion?
Howard: Your brother and I, we always had a meeting with "Mr. Macallan" after a big victory. Usually some brilliant summation by Chuck, that goes without saying. So this... Uh, this is for you. You earned it. You won.
Jimmy: Won? Uh, what'd I win?

Howard: Yes, I will land on my feet. I will be okay. But you? Far from it. You two... You two are soulless.

Howard: You're perfect for each other. You have a piece missing. I-I thought you did it for the money, but now it's... It's so clear. Screw the money. You did it for fun. You get off on it. You're... You're like... Leopold and Loeb. Two sociopaths--

Howard: I'm going to dedicate my life to making sure that everybody knows the truth. Believe it. You can't hide who you really are forever--
Jimmy: How?
Kim: H-Howard.

Eduardo: Me? Nobody. I just need to talk to my lawyers.

Jimmy: Well, you know what they say: "The wicked flee when no man pursueth."
Kim: You think we're wicked?
Jimmy: No. What? Ha-ha. It's just a turn of phrase... I think you're wicked hot.

Jimmy: Listen to the voice of experience, okay? You know why you're feeling like this? Because we got away with it. It seems too good to be true. But trust me, nobody is following you. No one knows what we're doing except for us, okay?

Jimmy: Six... Lucky number seven... Oh, you're with him? And eight... Nice leathers. Okay, together. And... nine. Ahem. Wow, um... Thank you all for your patience. And... Justice for all!

Kim: Why are you telling me this and not him?
Mike: Because I think you're made of sterner stuff.

Mike: All due respect, the rest of the world thinks the guy is dead.
Gus: Lalo. Salamanca. Is alive.
Mike: Then where is he?...

Jimmy: But, um, the bottom line is I need a new place to do business, pronto. Now, this place is a shithole, but the price is right. And I think I can talk the landlord into a month-to-month. So it's temporary. You know, until I find something better.

Jimmy: What do you think?
Kim: It's small. It's dirty. And this whole place smells funny... But the courthouse is five blocks away. You can't get to MDC without driving past. Parking is good. Bail bond row isn't far, and... Taco Cabeza is just around the corner. Might be a diamond in the rough. Just promise me... you won't move the toilet.

Nacho: The only way that this works for you is with me dead.

Jimmy: His car? That's a bit direct.
Kim: I think the word you're looking for is "audacious".
Jimmy: That, too.

Jimmy: ...if we do it right, Huell will be invisible.
Kim: Oh, yeah?
Jimmy: Like a ghost.
Kim: That's pretty slick.
Jimmy: I think the word you're looking for is "audacious".

Suzanne: Let me explain how this looks from where I stand. A couple years back, Jimmy McGill represented Ignacio Varga, a local dealer. Now, Varga is a known associate of Tuco Salamanca. Jimmy was involved in getting Tuco a reduced sentence on an assault and battery charge shortly after he represented Varga. And now here he is, representing Eduardo Salamanca under the assumed name "De Guzman".
Kim: Okay. What are you getting at? Are you building some kind of case against Jimmy?

Suzanne: I don't think Jimmy ever intended to become a cartel lawyer. It's not a suit that fits him. I think maybe he got in over his head and couldn't get out.

Suzanne: It's wrong. You know it's wrong. And I think Jimmy does, too.
Kim: ... Saul.
Suzanne: I'm sorry?
Kim: He practices now under the name Saul Goodman. Although I distinctly remember you referring to him as a "scumbag".
Suzanne: Uh, I admit I have had my problems with... Saul. That's true. But I also believe underneath it all, underneath all of his... showiness... He's a lawyer. And a human being. And I think he knows what's right.

Huell: Can I ask you summin'?
Jimmy: Sure, go ahead.
Huell: Personal, kinda.
Jimmy: Okay. What?
Huell: You a lawyer. You make good money, right?
Jimmy: Good days and bad, but, yeah.
Huell: Legit money. On the level.
Jimmy: Yeah. So?
Huell: Your wife's a lawyer. A legit lawyer.
Jimmy: Yeah.
Huell: Why you do all this?

Jimmy: I-I know, from the outside, this looks like just another scam. But... You're not seeing the bigger picture. A couple months from now, there are people whose lives are gonna be way better because of this. A... We're making a real difference. Trust me. We're doing the Lord's work here.
Huell: If you say so. Be seeing you...

Jimmy: You think I should do it?
Kim: It depends.
Jimmy: On what?
Kim: Well. I guess it's basically... Do you want to be a "friend of the cartel"? Or... do you want to be a rat?

Then make some. But I strongly suggest you do whatever you can to get back on your feet. But do it far away from here.

Jimmy: Right. It's gotta be good but not too good...
Kim: Exactly. There's a sweet spot, you know, like a magnet. We pull Cliff in... and then repel him..... Oh!

Jimmy: The stick. Yeah, well, it's a big stick, it's huge. But I know these people. They're more carrot types. Especially her.

Betsy Kettleman: Money? Money's not gonna take care of this.
Jimmy: Money takes care of everything.

Kim: Okay. Enough carrot.

Kim: I'm keeping my eye on both of you... You think you've lost everything? You have no idea.

Jimmy: B-Better to have more people around.

Jimmy: Am I bad for you?

Kim: You crossed a line. You're not gonna do it again.
Jimmy: ... Yeah.

Jimmy: Hey, Kim, we already sprang for this place. I'm just sayin' let's take advantage. You know, let's John and Yoko this sucker.

Kim: The way I see it, we just need to keep our eyes open and get on with our lives.
Jimmy: Kim, listen...
Kim: The courthouse... it's... it's three blocks from here. It's full of cops... police headquarters is right next door. Jimmy... it's gonna be fine. I'll see you later.

Howard: Laugh if you want, but no person in their right mind would behave the way Jimmy has. We are talking about someone who's not in control of himself.

Howard: You gotta listen to me. The man needs help.
Kim: Howard, I know Jimmy, and you're wrong.
Howard: You know who really knew Jimmy?.. Chuck.

---

Jimmy: Okay. Y-You saved my life. Thank you for that. But from here on out, I gotta be kept in the loop, man.

Kim: Oh, my God. That's great. It's great, right? So what's wrong? It's... It's over.
Jimmy: This time.
Kim: There's not gonna be a next time.
Jimmy: Kim...

Kim: I-It's... It's all about him... it's always all about him. The guy is in love with himself. He needed to be taken down a peg. So... what's next?... You went after his car. You went after his reputation. So... I think maybe the next thing is... his hair, right?

Lalo: To sleep and those who need it.
Nacho: To sleep.

Jimmy: Come on, Kim. We're not talking about a bar trick here. We're talking about scorched earth. We would have to hurt him. Hurt him bad.

Jimmy: Kim, doing this, that... It's not you. Okay? You would not be okay with it. Not in the cold light of day.
Kim: Wouldn't I?...

Kim: P-chew! P-chew!

Bad Choice Road

Better Call Saul 5×9

Jimmy: Yeah. It's me. I'm okay.

Mike: Don't go to sleep yet. We gotta work on your story.

Cashier: $7 million?
Jimmy: Yep.

Lalo: Well... You must have a story.
Jimmy: Car trouble.

Lalo: Hey, hey, hey, don't worry. You and me? We're not done. We're gonna do things, big things. "Friend of the cartel", right?

Lalo: Make sure you buy something nice for the wife. Man, she's a looker, huh?
Jimmy: Uh, my... my what?
Lalo: Yeah! The guera, man... she came by to see me. Hey, nice job, man. I mean, for somebody who marries that far up... bien hecho, man. Respect, you know?

Jimmy: Kim, when I was out there... I didn't think I was gonna make it. I thought I was... done. I was that close to giving up. And the only thing that kept me going... was knowing that you were here.

Kim: Okay. I won't see Lalo again.

Gus: He was trying to protect his own business... by protecting our business.
Mike: If that's him trying to help...

Mike: I don't think fear is a great motivator.
Gus: A dog who bites every owner he's had... can only be disciplinedwith a firm hand. Or... put down.

---

Mike: You can start talking any time...
Jimmy: You said this goes away. So, what's the timeframe on that?

Mike: Look. We all make our choices. And those choices... they put us on a road. Sometimes those choices seem small, but they put you on the road. You think about getting off. But eventually you're back on it. And the road we're on led us out to the desert and everything that happened there and straight back to where we are right now. And nothing... nothing can be done about that. Do you understand that?

Jimmy: I can't believe... I can't believe there's, like, over a billion people on this planet and the only person I have to talk about this to is you.

Jimmy: Alright, "pro bono" is wonderful. It is, but "pro bono" means no money. So, what's the plan here?

Jimmy: This is a bad idea.
Kim: What?!
Jimmy: Look, we all make choices, right? And those choices... they put us on a road. And the road has good choices, and it has bad choices. And this is a bad choice road.
Kim: What are you even talking about?
Jimmy: I'm... saying that bad choices lead to bad roads that lead to bad places.

Jimmy: You shouldn't... I'm sorry. Um... Sorry. Y-You shouldn't, uh, do that. It upsets the fish.

Lalo: I just want to hear the story.... I just like to hear the story. I mean... I paid a lot of money for that story. So I think I can hear it as much as I want. So... tell me again.

Bagman

Better Call Saul 5×8

Jimmy: What's so funny?
Lalo: Ah, you wouldn't get it.

Lalo: My cousins are gonna meet you there with the money, 9:00 a.m. You'll like them. They're good boys.

Lalo: Hey, you're the right guy for this. You're nobody... I mean, no offense, but nobody's gonna look twice at you.

Lalo: So, 100K for a little drive through the desert, huh?
Jimmy: That's the price.
Lalo: Done.

Kim: Jimmy, you are an attorney, not a bagman. There's no amount of money that is worth this.

Jimmy: It's just little ol' me in my little ol' Suzuki Esteem. And there has never been more than 50 bucks in an Esteem in the history of Esteems. So, no one's gonna look at me twice.

Jimmy: I will be okay. I swear. If I smell even the faintest whiff of anything wrong, I'll be out of there like a shot.
Kim: I don't like this. I don't want you to do it.

Jimmy: Yo soy abogado. Yo soy... abogado. Yo soy abogado.

Jimmy: Oh, nuts.

Mike: You're in shock. You stay here and breathe.

Mike: Hey. You're alive. Focus on that.

Jimmy: Did you know all this was gonna happen?
Mike: If I did, I woulda brought more guys.

Jimmy: I got an idea. Let's dig a hole.

Jimmy: Hey, why are we camping? I mean, shouldn't we keep walking? It's cooler at night.
Mike: You go out there in the dark, you're gonna break your leg in a prairie dog hole.

Jimmy: I should've been home hours ago. This will be tearing her up.
Mike: Oh, she's just gonna think you're out cattin' around.
Jimmy: No, she won't.
Mike: She gonna think I'm chopped to pieces, dead in some ditch.

Mike: She knows... She's in the game now.

---

Kim: We have something in common. You want to know where your money is. I want to find Saul Goodman.

Lalo: So, you're his wife, and you... love him.

Lalo: Your man... he's, um, he's like the cucaracha... you know, a born survivor. If trouble found him, give it a day. If he's alive, he'll show.
Kim: Mm. And if he's... ?
Lalo: Well, then, day's not gonna make a difference, is it?

Lalo: Alright, well... nice to meet you, Mrs. Goodman.

Mike: Hey. I wouldn't waste that.
Jimmy: Waste what?
Mike: I don't have enough of this for the both of us.

Jimmy: That's it. I'm done. Done! Done!
Mike: Quiet.
Jimmy: Why? I'm quiet, I'm loud... I'm gonna die in this dirt one way or the other. Let's get it over with.

Jimmy: I'm not going. I'm done. Everything hurts. God, I'm so thirsty.
Mike: You need to drink.
Jimmy: What's the point? So they can find a corpse with a mouthful of piss?

Jimmy: How? How the hell are you still going?
Mike: Because I know why I'm out here. That's how. I know what it's for.

Mike: ...you get up, and you get up now.
Jimmy: What it's for? What... is it for?
Mike: I have people. I have people waiting for me. They don't know what I do... they never will. They're protected. But I do what I do so they can have a better life. And if I live or if I die, it really doesn't make a difference to me, as long as they have what they need. So when it's my time to go, I will go knowing I did everything I could for them. Now, you ask me how I keep going? That's how.

JMM

Better Call Saul 5×7

Kim: And anything that already happened... we're not going back over all that. Let's just focus on from here on out.
Jimmy: Right. Past is past. And moving forward... Uh, if I have the urge to not tell you something, then I've gotta tell you.
Kim: Right. Full disclosure.
Jimmy: And it works both ways?
Kim: Works both ways.
Jimmy: Okay, what if I have the urge to not tell you something, but I tell you, and you don't like what you hear?
Kim: I just want to know what's going on.
Jimmy: Yeah, but...
Kim: Jimmy, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Jimmy: This is a legal arrangement. This way, if I get into trouble, they can't make her testify against me.
Huell: You getting hitched for that?
Jimmy: Yeah. Yeah. That's all this is. You got it?
Huell: She gonna be a McGill or Goodman?
Jimmy: Wexler.

Judge: "Do you, James Morgan McGill, take Kimberly Wexler to... " Hmm. No middle name. "To be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Jimmy: Who the hell is Jorge De Guzman?
Nacho: Who do you think?

Kevin: Kim, one more thing. This fella... McGill or Goodman, whatever. You could do a whole lot better.

Lalo: JMM. What's that?
Jimmy: Oh, that's my motto. "Justice Matters Most".

Lalo: Quieres ser amigo de el cartel?
Jimmy: I'm sorry. I-I don't, uh...
Lalo: You wanna be a friend of the cartel? Hmm? Time to get yourself a new motto. Just. Make. Money.

Mike: I'm better now.
Stacey: What changed?
Mike: Decided to play the cards I was dealt.

Kim: How'd your day go?
Jimmy: ... I got married.

Kim: What?
Jimmy: I'm having the urge not to tell you something.

---

Kim: "Friend of the cartel"?
Jimmy: You know what that means... Means money. Ranch in Montana kind of money, like, uh, private jet kind of money press conferences, TV news, the works...
Kim: But... do you want to be a friend of the cartel?

Jimmy: I just... I didn't want to tell you, so I thought I should tell you.

Lydia: I know it's not exactly my area of expertise, but don't people get killed in prison all the time? I mean, "shanked" and "shivved" and whatnot?

Jimmy: ... It's got a five-car garage.
Kim: What? How's that gonna work? We only get 2 and a half cars each?
Jimmy: Yeah. Garbage.
Kim: So, that was wildflowers dancing in the sun?
Jimmy: They're swaying in the breeze.
Kim: Oh. Okay.

Jimmy: Look, I don't take marching orders from the man behind the curtain. Mm?
Mike: In this case, it's better that you do.

Jimmy: Uh, play to the judge, okay? But don't... don't, like, play to the judge. Don't over do it. Try not to be too cool. I mean, look humble. A little bit scared.
Lalo: No problem.

Lalo: $7 million?
Jimmy: Yes, and I am so, so sorry—
Lalo: I can do that.

Jimmy: Let me tell you something. The job offer... it didn't upset me. It amused me. Whew. Big job at the illustrious HHM. Chance to play at the palace? Lil' ole me?
Howard: I was trying...
Jimmy: You have no idea what's going on. You're a teensy tiny man in a teensy-weensy little bubble!
Howard: Oh, Jimmy...
Jimmy: Ohh, don't you fuckin' "Oh, Jimmy" me! You look down on me?! You pity me?! Walk away. That's right, Howard. You know why I didn't take the job? 'Cause it's too small! I don't care about it! It's nothing to me! It's a bacterium! I travel in worlds you can't even imagine! You can't conceive of what I'm capable of! I'm so far beyond you! I'm like a God in human clothing! Lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!

Wexler v. Goodman

Better Call Saul 5×6

Jimmy: Whoa, whoa. Just... There's got to be a way, right? 'Cause we're smart, so we can figure out a way, right?

Jimmy: No. It's... Shock and awe is what I'm going for here. Anything less, no.

Jimmy: What if we did the Superman thing?
Uh, a... a what?
Jimmy: You know, like Superman. Like, um... Well, like a weatherman. Blue screen, I think...
You mean a green screen?
Jimmy: Whatever. Blue, green. Just... Can we do that?

Jimmy: That's your spot. Do not move from it, okay? Um, but also don't be rigid, okay? Try to be natural. And speak to me, you know, conversational, everyday, like a friend, but, uh... There's fear here. There's emotion. You're searching for a hero. You know, will no one save you? But don't hit it too hard. Just throw it away, but with feeling, okay?

Jimmy: And five, four, three, two... Magic.

Jimmy: And... cut! Beautiful.

---

Jimmy: Wait. Hold on. Y-You'll make up the difference as in "out of your own pocket" make up the difference?

Jimmy: But... what about the play here? The play is beautiful. God, this is like watching a walk-off home run just drift foul... Ugh.

Jimmy: Alright, just don't touch the camera. He claims it's an extension of his body.

Mike: Police get a little funny about private investigators horning in on their business. They can have all the credit. I only want justice.

Jimmy: Oh, God, I'm good.

Schweikart: Jimmy. Always a pleasure.
Jimmy: Saul. Saul Goodman during business hours, "s'all" the time.

Kim: What amount are you asking?
Jimmy: $4 million. ... It's a four with six zeroes, and it's preceded by a dollar sign.

Jimmy: Here we go...

Jimmy: Well, Kevin, would you... would you close your eyes and imagine a world with me? Just if you...

Jimmy: ..... You can open your eyes now. Can you imagine a world where we shake hands on that, man to man?

Kim: Or maybe... Maybe we get married.

Dedicado a Max

Better Call Saul 5×5

Jimmy: I-I think I might be seeing a hitch here.
Foreman: Wait. Who are you?
Jimmy: I'm Saul Goodman, attorney at law.

Foreman: Come on!
Sheriff: I have to make a call...

Jimmy: He's a side sitter?!
Kim: I guess so.
Jimmy: Okay. Well, you never told me that he was a side sitter. And that is gold.

Jimmy: Kevin...
Kim: Yes, Kim?
Jimmy: Would you care to take a shower with me?

Mike: You don't do anything without a reason. Why am I here?

Foreman: Seriously?!
Sheriff: I have to make a call...

Foreman: Do I have to ask?
Sheriff: I'm gonna have to, uh... you know.

Jimmy: There's always another play... But the rational thing to do here is close the deal, get the guy a few bucks, pop the champagne with the other winners, and smile like you mean it. You want a beer? I'm gonna get one.
Kim: Or... ? Jimmy.
Jimmy: There's no reason on God's green Earth to take this any further. It's not worth it.
Kim: Or... ?

Jimmy: It gets nasty. It gets personal. It gets dangerous.

---

Jimmy: Hey. It's me.
Mike: Yes, it is.

Mike: Yes, I'm in a tunnel.

Jimmy: Giselle, um, this is Mister X.
Sobchak: It's my work name.

Sobchak: I did the full work-up, as tasked.
Jimmy: And?
Sobchak: Snake eyes. Bupkis. Nada. Guy's squeaky clean.

Sobchak: The guy's dull, like "Saturday night in Salt Lake City" dull.

Jimmy: Giselle, um, this is probably one of those tricks-of-the-trade things. Why don't we just focus on the "what" and skip over the "how".

Gus: It makes up for nothing. I am what I am.

Gus: It seems to me that you are at a crossroads. You can continue as you are... drinking... estranged from your family... brawling with street hoods. We both know how that ends... You have another choice.

Gus: I'm in a war. I need a soldier.

Gus: You have met them. You know what they are.
Mike: Meaning the Salamancas. And you are so very different from them?
Gus: Yes. I am different.

Gus: Revenge.

Namaste

Better Call Saul 5×4

Kim: Uh... yesterday was bad. Today I'm gonna fix it.
Jimmy: Sounds like a plan.

Jimmy: That's minimum security. It's gonna be like taking a cruise... only less danger of drowning.

Jimmy: You twerps even know who I am? I am Saul Goodman! Okay? You think 4K is too much? Yesterday I got paid 8K just for the afternoon. That's how good I am. I am the real deal. You're lucky I'm even talkin' to ya!

Howard: So. "Saul Goodman". Am I allowed to call you "Jimmy"?
Jimmy: Uh, Saul Goodman is my professional name, but my friends still call me Jimmy. You can, too.

Howard: Well, tell me about "Saul Goodman"... What's he about?
Jimmy: Uh... hmm. Well... Saul Goodman is, uh... he's the last line of defense for the little guy. You getting sold down the river? He's a life raft. You getting stepped on, he's a sharp stick. You got Goliath on your back, Saul's the guy with the slingshot. He's a righter of wrongs. He's friend to the friendless. That's Saul Goodman.

Howard: It's simple for me. You're smart. You're scrappy. You're a go-getter. You don't wait for things to happen. You make 'em happen... I could use you.

---

Jimmy: You saw the fireworks. It was a bit unorthodox. But, uh, check this out. Two sweetest words in the English language... "miss", "trial".

Hank: "Culvert". That's a weird word... What do you think that is, like Dutch?

Hank: "Culvert"... "Cullll-vert". Sounds like a Dutch word for crotch rot.

Gus: Thank you, Lyle. You can go home.
Lyle: Um, but is it, like... You think it's okay? It's clean?
Gus: It is acceptable.

Jimmy: Look, picture me as the man and Mesa Verde as the horse. I'm the guy who'll do whatever it takes to stick it to them.

Kim: How the hell did you convince him?
Jimmy: Uh... uh, visual aids. You'd be surprised what you can find on that Internet...
