["Saul Goodman" split his profits from his ad with his production crew]

CGCamera Guy

Can we make this easier; just split it four ways?

Split it four—I'll split you four ways! Don't they teach you capitalism in that school of yours?

CGCamera Guy

I'm just saying we got expenses, man.

You—Expenses?! You don't have expenses, I've got expenses! [holds up some bills] You see this? This is the money I've already spent on airtime for that commercial, four hundred forty-five bucks. You know what that means I'm left with?

DGDrama Girl

One hundred dollars?

One hundred and four dollars and 95 cents for writing, directing, producing, client outreach, sales, transpo, all of it—

CGCamera Guy

I get it.

Yeah. So let's get you in the editing room and finish this thing, and I don't wanna hear another word about expenses!

You mind if I ask? I really don't mean to pry, but—

AAnita

Let me guess. You have another construction job you need my help on.

No, but if I do, you'll be the first person I call.

AAnita

Okay, ask away.

You said you kept your husband's uniform. Was he on the job?

AAnita

"On the job"? Oh, you mean the police. No, Alan was a Navy man. He was well out of the service when I lost him. I'm sorry, the group has heard my story over and over.

Well, that's what we're here for.

AAnita

Well... Alan loved to hike. We even opened a camping supply store, I helped him with the mail-order side of it, and then... This was eight years ago. He went hiking in Gila National and never came back. They found our car, but they never found him. And I don't know if he slipped and fell or had a heart attack or met someone didn't like the way he looked... I don't know. And even after all these years, not knowing how he passed or where he is? I wish it didn't matter... but it does.

[Kim and Jimmy, drinking at a bar, spot a mark for Viktor and Giselle]

We are here to meet a celebrity who's donating to my charity.

Kevin Costner. I will go stand in that corner, you point me out—You're meeting Kevin Costner.

What? You don't look like Kevin Costner.

Uh, I look exactly like Kevin Costner. People are always coming up to me, saying they loved me in Bull Durham.

No, not once.

[Jimmy suddenly notices a blowhard abusing a waiter]

That guy. How de we get him?

What do you think? The—the trick with the coin you told me about, or the counterfeit bill?

No. That guy's a real asshole. He needs to go down hard. Here's what we're gonna do: We're gonna sell him a worthless credit card for $5000. Here's what you do: Make eye contact with him. It's all it'll take for him to think you're interested. I'll act good and drunk, and he'll... think I'm a loser and try to steal you away. He will persist. Tell him you can't leave me, not yet. Let him know you're trying to roll me. He'll want in. He'll help you ply me with booze. Now, you take my wallet, you lift the card... following this?

...We're not actually doing this, right? We're just talking.

...Yeah. Just talking. [beat] What?

It's... nothing.

It's not nothing, what?

I keep thinking... was there another way?

"Another way"? Chuck? Is that what you're talking about? Kim, he had us in a corner, okay? We did what we had to do.

But Rebecca—

Everything that happened was his own fault. Everything. You put him in the rearview mirror. He is not worth thinking about. Done.

Really?

He called me... for obvious reasons.

Look, I'm not here to rip him off. He has the stuff, right?

I need to know what you're planning.

What's it matter to you?

I know they're for Salamanca. Nitro pills. Your boss has heart problems.

You already got it all figured out. Why are you asking?

How are you going to make the switch?

[sighs] Hector keeps the pills in his coat pocket. When he hangs up his coat, I'll make the switch.

Hm. He goes down, then what?

His heart goes out, that's it.

Lot of eyes on Salamanca. You do this, how are you going to stop them from finding out it was you?

Are you trying to tell me not to do this?

I'm not telling you anything. Just want to make sure you know what you're getting into.

I'm not "getting" into anything. I'm in it. I've got no choice. Hector wants to use my dad's business. My dad is a straight-arrow, he won't stand for it, which means he goes to the police, which means... he's a dead man. And that's not happening.

You get caught, it could get worse.

You don't think I know who I'm dealing with?

No. I don't.

[Mike goes to Nacho's van and takes out the gas cap]

What are you doing?

[Mike pries open the gas cap to find nothing inside, then puts it back]

There are more people than the Salamancas to worry about here. Now, if you manage to pull this off without a bullet to your head, and switch those pills... then switch 'em back.

"Switch them back." Why?

Anyone gets an itch about the medicine not working, they're gonna check those pills. You do this - switch them back.

...So. You gonna let us make this deal?

You got the money? [Nacho takes an envelope out of his pocket] Good. Now, before we do this, I'm gonna need one more thing from you.

[Mike takes out his notebook and clicks his pen]
