[Howard takes Kim into an empty courtroom]
What's up?
I wasn't going to say anything. Last time I tried to get something off my chest, it didn't go very well. I just think... before you make any big changes in your life, there's something about Jimmy you ought to hear.
[pause] Okay.
A little while ago, I offered Jimmy a job at HHM. I'm guessing he didn't mention it to you. [pause] He said he had to think about it. But then the very next night, he threw bowling balls over my front gate.
Bowling balls?
Someone could have been really hurt. More or less destroyed my car. Then, a couple of weeks later, I'm having lunch with Cliff Main... and I'm accosted by two prostitutes. Actual prostitutes! Jimmy had sent them to make a scene. I confronted Jimmy about it, and after some hemming and hawing, he all but confessed.
[pause] ...And that's it?
Mmm-hmm.
[laughs hysterically] Sorry! Uh... Howard. You really, y–you really had me going there.
Laugh if you want. But no person in their right mind would behave the way Jimmy has. We are talking about someone who's not in control of himself! You and I both know it makes no sense to drop a client like Mesa Verde. And I gotta think Jimmy had something to do with that.
Do you have any idea how insulting that is? I make my own decisions, for my own reasons.
You gotta listen to me. The man needs help.
Howard, I know Jimmy. And you're wrong!
[scoffs] You know who really knew Jimmy? [pause] Chuck.
