Better Call Saul · Season 1, Episode 15

Chuck and Howard in “Unfinished Business”

Well, I expected a round of documents an hour ago. You know we've got a filing coming up.

I know, Chuck. It's very possible... it's likely that we're losing Mesa Verde.

Losing them?! We just got them! Why, where are they going?

They're going with Kim Wexler. She left the firm.

Kim left? Oh, Howard... well, where is she going? Is it Rich Schweikart? Or did Reeves and Green get her?

No, not another firm. She's going into private practice.

What?! Well, that's completely... how is she going out on her own? Why is she going out on her own?

Well, the "why" is the why. The "how" is that she's pooling her resources... with Jimmy.

...Kim and my brother, partners at law. [shakes head] He's Svengali. The man is Svengali.

At any rate, back to Mesa Verde: I'm gonna try one last Hail Mary. Chuck? Mesa Verde?

Yes, listening.

I managed to get a meeting with Kevin Wachtell. He's coming in this afternoon, but compliance law is not my strong suit. So, if you have any details, any arguments, bullet-point them for me now, because I've got about an hour before I have to get back. [Chuck starts walking away] Chuck? I really need your help here!

[Chuck goes through his Mylar-lined suits before picking a regular one]

Chuck? Are you okay?

I'm going to that meeting.

Chuck, I don't know if that's a good idea.

I can do it! Force of will, and I've been getting better.

I know you have, but the message that we want to send-

I know the message! That we appear professional and not crazy! I'm going to the meeting, and the lights stay on. Everyone keeps their phones. Everything stays, for lack of a better word, normal. I will make it through.
