[Jimmy walks into a boxing club and sees Howard, who pretended to be a potential client named "Mr. Ward"]
Hello, Jimmy.
Mr. Ward, I presume. As in... "H.O. Ward". That is really cute, Howard. So, wait. That means that you're the guy who shanked some dude in a rumble near Central Pen. [sighs] That's–That's very street of you.
I thought it sounded like a Saul Goodman kind of case.
...Alright, so what are we doing here?
I'm tired, Jimmy. You and me, us. I'm tired of this. Aren't you? It's exhausting. [points at boxing ring behind him] Let's punch it out.
[chuckles] Are you kidding?
Dead serious. Hoping you might get it out of your system. Do I think it'll work? [shrugs] I don't know. Call it a Hail Mary. I have the gear, I rented the ring. It's just you and me... [points at the man standing behind Jimmy] and Macky to ref.
[pause] I am sorry, but have you lost your mind?
Actually, I'm as clear-headed as I've ever been in my life. You didn't even try to hide your tracks. The baggie of drugs at the country club, the clients you sent to discredit me, another prostitute.
Okay, once again as usual, I–
Please. I could go on. All roads lead back to you. It's Psych 101. You want to get caught.
So what? Is this like pistols at dawn?
I'm trying to give you what you want.
What I want? I don't... I think this is what you want. You wanna beat the shit out of me? Legally?
I think you can hold up your end. You must've gotten into a few good scrapes in your old neighborhood.
Yeah, right. I could've been a contender.
Indulge me. Let's see what we see.
[pause; smiles] Thanks for the laughs. [chuckles] "Mr. Ward."
[Jimmy laughs and starts to walk out, but stops. He and Howard are seen suited up with boxing gloves as they begin their fight. They both land a few punches on each other, but Howard eventually knocks Jimmy down.]
[to Jimmy] You've mistaken my kindness for weakness. I like to think that tonight made a difference. I like to think that this ends it. [pause; shakes his head] Probably not.
