Breaking Bad · Season 5, Episode 6

Hank, Saul and others in “Buyout”

[Saul represents Mike at a DEA meeting]

To what do we owe the pleasure?

Well, gentlemen, we're here to discuss the illegal harassment of my client.

[chuckles] This should be good.

Mr. Ehrmantraut has become the subject of a vicious, relentless and unwarranted DEA persecution.

Gomey, does uh... does that sound right to you?

I have no idea what he's talking about.

Play it as cool as you like, Fonzie, but we all know you've been following my client day and night. The poor man can't even spend a few moments with his granddaughter without you guys quivering in the bushes, and peeping through your little binoculars. It's–Well, it's disturbing! [chuckles] And it's taken a toll on his mental and physical well-being.

[looks Mike over] Your client looks fine to me.

Well, some hurts only show on the inside. Now, you guys don't even have warrants for these tails, do you?

Theoretically, these "tails" you refer to would be completely within the boundaries of the law.

You don't need a warrant to follow somebody through a public place, theoretically.

Now, that is, uh... theoretically correct. However, I would counter that an open-ended, unrestricted surveillance like this amounts to, uh... stalking. [Hank laughs] Which is illegal. Now, I don't know what it is you find so interesting about my client, and I'm not here to judge–different strokes and all–but sadly, he's just not that into you. So, I have filed a temporary restraining order against the DEA, on behalf of Mr. Ehrmantraut.

...Where'd you get your law degree, Goodman? The same clown college you got that suit?

You know who likes this suit? Judge Papadoumian; she thinks I'm a snappy dresser. You know what Judge Papadoumian hates? Police harassment of a senior citizen. [Mike leers at him] Sorry. Expect a visit from the sheriff, Agents. You should have your ex parte within the hour.
