[Jimmy visits Chuck in his hospital room to tell him about his temporary emergency guardianship]
Hey buddy, how's it going? [beat] Chuck.
Well, if it isn't Johnny-on-the-Spot.
What? What does that mean?
Is Ernesto out there?
Yeah? Can I get you something-
Ernesto, come in here, please!
Just take it easy.
Ernesto!
[Jimmy allows Ernie in]
Just put your stuff in there. [Ernie does so] I got him.
How are you feeling, Mr. McGill?
Ernesto, how long was I unconscious in that print shop?
I'm not sure.
Thirty seconds? A minute? Two minutes?
I'd say maybe... about a minute? You were kinda in and out.
And how long was I lying on the floor before the ambulance arrived?
About ten minutes, I think, but I didn't look at the clock.
[to Jimmy] And yet you were there.
Chuck, can we, uh—
There's only one way you could've gotten there so quickly... you never left!
I think you're getting all wound-up. Can you take a few deep breaths-
You bribed him! The kid behind the counter!
What?
Between the time Ernesto left and I arrived, you paid that halfwit to swear he never laid eyes on you...
Mr. McGill—
...and then you stuck around to watch! Why?! Just wanted to see me suffer?
Mr. McGill.
Just wanted to have a laugh at my expense?
I called him.
What?
I called Jimmy earlier before I picked you up. He showed up when he did because I called him. I was worried about you, and I just... I called him. I'm sorry.
[hatefully] Get out. Both of you.
[Ernie leaves, but Jimmy sticks around]
Chuck, there's something that I have to do, and I'm really sorry. I'm really, truly sorry, but I gotta do it, and it's for you.
You're trying to have me committed.
No. It's a temporary—
Temporary emergency guardianship, tomato, tomahto. You finally got me where you want me.
