You made it! Come on in. Picture a reception desk right here, alright? It's always nice to be greeted by a friendly face. Now, over in this corner we got a fireplace with a cozy waiting area: Couch, couple chairs, water cooler, electric kettle, maybe an assortment of teas? Now, this is my office, in here. Guess what? These are all original fixtures, so that's... Uh, we're four blocks from the courthouse here. So, how convenient is that? There's a bathroom and it's–it's... cute, heh! [opens bathroom door and quickly closes it] Phew, we're gonna get that cleaned out. Um, there's a shower in there for when you're buried in discovery late at night! This is for the partner, corner office: Lots of natural light, and that's great for your circadian rhythms. Uh... cherry blossoms! That's nice! And uh... [walks from one wall to the other while counting his steps] Six! It's pretty big. Um, there's a kitchenette down the hall, it's kind of perfect for snacks or uh, BYO lunch, heh. Get one of those snazzy Keurigs, put that in there. Stick a few potted plants around, make the place nice... What do you think?
[The camera reveals that Jimmy's talking to Huell]
HuellSo, no more cell phones?
No, but this is what the phones were for. So, if you were a lawyer, this would be a great place, right?
Huell
If I was a lawyer? Nope. Big glass high-rise, fortieth floor.
Huell
Yep. When I'm not on my boat.
[Huell and Jimmy talk in the courthouse after Huell assaults the plainclothes officer]
Huell
Two and a half years.
Yeah, they always go for the max. Come on now, they'll calm down.
Huell
[snorts] PD didn't make it sound promising.
Heh, the guy, he's—he's just a burnout. He's trying to soften you up for an easy deal, alright? There's no way you'd do that kind of time!
Huell
You're goddamn right.
You're goddamn right... wait. What—What do you mean?
Huell
I'mma bounce. I got places I can go.
No. Uh, no, that's not a good idea, Huell.
Huell
Better than goin' in!
C'mon, you'll have a warrant on you, and that shit doesn't go away! You know, three years from now, you're pulled over for a broken tail light, and now you're not just a guy who shoved a cop; you're a guy who shoved a cop and ran.
Huell
Well, I just won't drive with a broken tail light.
Sooner or later, they're gonna catch up to you.
Huell
They didn't catch D.B. Cooper.
[Frustrated, Jimmy sits next to Huell]
Why don't you—Why don't you give me a shot at this? I... I think I can fix it.
Huell
Yeah?
Yeah. What if I told you, you're not going in?
Huell
Like, not at all? Not never? 'Cause that's what it's gonna take.
Yeah, never, alright? Just don't skip.
Huell
How you gonna do that? You ain't even a lawyer!
[scornfully] "A lawyer." Dude, I don't need to be a lawyer, alright? I'm a magic man. Will you have a little faith in me?
[Jimmy and Huell sit in a car. Jimmy pays Huell for duplicating the keys to Howard's Jaguar.]
Huell
Can I ask you sum'n?
Huell
Personal, kind of.
Huell
You're a lawyer. You make good money, right?
Good days and bad, but yeah.
Huell
Legit money, on the level.
Huell
Your wife's a lawyer. A legit lawyer.
Huell
Why you do all this?
Oh, I got you. I–I know from the outside that this looks like just another scam, but you're not seeing the bigger picture. Couple months from now, there are people whose lives are gonna be way better. Because of this. We're making a real difference. Trust me. We're doing the Lord's work here.
Huell
Hmph. If you say so.
