[Kim gives Howard a check during his luncheon. He confronts her at the valet]
What the hell is this?
I think it's pretty self-explanatory. [beat] Look, Howard, you were very generous when I left HHM, but it never sat right with me that you covered my law school loans.
Seemed to sit right at the time!
I appreciate the gift, but now that I'm able to afford it, I wanna pay you back.
Well, you "appreciate the gift."
Yes, I do.
You know what I'm doing in there? Take a guess. I'm doing damage control, and I'm doing it three meals a day for the past two weeks with every one of our clients! I am busting my ass, trying to repair the reputation of the firm after you and Jimmy dragged it through the mud!
I did everything in my power to defend my client.
Oh, is that what you're calling it?
That's the job, Howard. And by the way, it was all very convenient for you to ignore Chuck's illness when it suited you.
So I take you out of the mailroom, put you through law school, mentor you, and then when you leave and stab me in the back, that's my fault? I'm not cashing this.
[Howard tears up the check. Kim starts getting into her car]
Kim! Your debt is forgiven, but anything else? That's on you.
All Jimmy and I did was show the situation for what it is, and if you are hiding that from your clients? Well, Howard, that's on you.
