[Saul, under his Gene alias, calls Ed after the taxi driver who recognized him approaches him at the mall]
I need an adapter for a Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro, model 60.
EEd
Huh. [pause] We've delivered to you before, haven't we?
Yeah. I'm in Omaha, Nebraska.
EEd
Mr. Takavic... that will be a very difficult part to obtain. And I wanna warn you, it's gonna be more expensive than the original.
EEd
Double the price. And we are still in a cash on delivery situation. Will that be a problem?
EEd
You got made. Alright. Any official involved?
EEd
Pickup is going to be in the same place you were dropped off. Do you remember where that is?
EEd
Alright, Mr. Takavic. Thursday... 7 A.M. Same spot. You know the rest, am I right? [beat] Mr. Takavic? Still there?
[pause] I've changed my mind.
EEd
To be clear, you are not going forward with this?
I'm gonna fix it myself. [hangs up phone]
Listen, I know this seems fast. It is fast, I can see it!
You're changing your name?
No! I–well, yes. For my clients.
You're gonna call yourself, Saul Goodman?
I'm already calling myself Saul Goodman! We've talked about this, that scammers would buy my phones. Sure as shooting, sooner or later, every last one of them is gonna find themselves in the back of a squad car. How do I get them to call Jimmy McGill? I don't! I stay Saul Goodman, they call the guy they already know. I thought I was wasting a year of my life! It wasn't a waste, it was for this! This is it!
Just now! Just back there, just... BOOM! It just hit me! This is the way. Kim, it's gonna work!
I know. All of a sudden, I got it all figured out, but I–I do! This is right! So, I'll get this done, and then we can talk about it, okay? [pause] I mean... unless... Is–Is there something that I'm not seeing here? If you want me to slow my roll, I can come back, and do this another day.
[pause] If this is how you're really feeling...
[Kim talks Jimmy out of offering a discount for Saul Goodman's services]
What I’m thinking is… See, I got almost a full pallet of cell phones left, so why not run a promotion? I’ll make a real event out of it. I’ll give it away, okay? And for added sweetener, limited time only… non-violent felonies, fifty percent off. It’s like, uh… commit four felonies, you get the fifth one free. And there will be friends and family, too, so you can share ‘em around.
Yeah. I mean, it’s just to get people in the door. Once they’re hooked, I will upsell them.
Doesn’t that sound like you’re encouraging these people to commit crimes?
They don’t need encouragement. Believe me. One scoop or two?
[starts serving ice cream bowls] Kim, you don’t know these assholes like I do. Rain or shine, these morons will be out there doing stupid shit and getting arrested for it. Little discount won’t make a bit of difference. You want sprinkles? ‘Cause I’m having sprinkles.
Uh, sure. I’m just wondering how this reflects on you.
[sighs] You know what? When you’re right, you’re right. What am I doing cutting prices? Discount is a desperation move. [pause] See? This is why this works; I go too far, and you pull me back.
Don't you think you're selling yourself short? You worked...so hard to get your license back.
"We worked?" So why be...W–Why this?
Heh, it's perfect! They already know me, I know them, what's not to love? [pause] Kim, I can't go back to being Jimmy McGill. [sighs] Jimmy McGill the lawyer is always going to be Chuck McGill's loser brother. I'm done with that. That name is burned. This is a fresh start! This is how I move forward, and... I like it!
[pause] Sorry, I–I just can't see it.
[Mike meets with Gus underneath the laundromat after sending the German construction crew back home]
Last of them got on a plane for Zurich an hour ago. No problem.
Will they do as they have been told?
You're asking my opinion?
They know the consequences.
The entrances to the side have been sealed. Nobody's gonna stumble on it.
As long as Lalo Salamanca is on this side of the border, we cannot continue as we were.
No, this is not it. Once Salamanca is dealt with–and he will be dealt with–construction will resume. Until then, you will continue to be paid.
You're gonna pay me to do nothing?
What happened in Frankfurt?
The attorneys spent a full day with his wife. She accepted the facts as presented. As per your suggestion, a construction accident. The funeral was yesterday, and of course, she has been compensated.
I... would choose my next words...very carefully if I were you.
[beat] You keep your goddamn retainer.
