Marion and Saul in “Unfinished Business”

Hello? [pause] Gene! Honey, do you know what time it is? [beat; picks up her phone and sits down] Oh... Oh God, that boy. He's gonna put me in my grave.

Saul

Marion... [chuckles] It's a mistake is all. Getting picked up for something you didn't do, that could happen to anybody.

Yeah right, anyone. This isn't the first time, you know. He's been in trouble before. Oh, Jesus!

Saul

Marion—

The death of me! He's gonna be the death of me!

Saul

Marion! Marion, it's gonna be alright. We'll get him outta there lickety-split.

I've been through this before. There's nothing lickety-split about it. Back when he was living in Albuquerque... Drunk in public, resisting arrest, urinating in—in some place he shouldn't have! And me on the telephone for hours long-distance, trying to find one of those bailout places. I maxed out my Discover card. I'm still paying for that one!

Saul

Well, money's not gonna be a problem because I'm gonna help you with that.

No, Gene. I can't let you do that. No.

Saul

Sure you can. Jeff will pay me back. And you don't have to worry about a bondsman either, because guess what? In Omaha, they don't have 'em. Right? You just walk into the station, you pay out straight cash bail. It's not like Albuquerque at all. [beat; Marion starts growing suspicious] Marion, you still there?

Yeah, what... Why did Jeff call you instead of me?

Saul

Well, I think he was scared of how you'd take it. Honestly, I was gonna pay the bail myself, but I think it should be a family member. I think that'd be best. [brief pause] I'll tell you what. Let me take a shower, get dressed, and you do the same. I'll swing by and pick you up, we'll get this whole thing squared away.

What about Buddy? Is he in any trouble?

Saul

I don't think so. Why would he be? Heh. I'll see you in about an hour.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, thanks.
