Better Call Saul, Season 1

Jimmy:
I called the Kettlemans after I hung up with you, I gave them a warning call.

Kim:
A warning call?

Jimmy:
Yeah, I was worried that my guy Varga was going after their money. And he was. He was gonna rip them off. I deduced it from a conversation that we had. It was lawyer to client, so there was, you know, confidentiality issues. But I called the Kettlemans anonymously to warm them.

Kim:
Anonymously? You didn’t – Oh, god, you didn’t – you didn’t do the sex-robot voice, did you?

Jimmy:
I did, with the tube and whole thing, which probably scared the living shit out of them, and they took off, which, you know, file that under “unintended consequence,” but you – you believe me now?

Kim:
Um...

Jimmy:
Great. Now we have to find them. I mean – or, better yet, get the cops to let Varga go because right now my ass is on the highway to the danger zone.

Kim:
Well, why are you in danger?

Jimmy:
Nacho Varga – he didn’t kidnap the family. But he’s a bad guy. He’s a very bad guy. And if the cops keep pushing him, they’re gonna find something. And when that happens, Nacho blames me, and then his guys turn me into a meat piñata.

Kim:
Jimmy, tell the police.

Jimmy:
No, there’s n– there’s no way I’m gonna rat on this guy. I will never be safe. No, I have to convince the cops that I’m right, get them to stop looking at Nacho, and catch the Kettlemans on the run.

Kim:
And if they never catch them?

Jimmy:
The Kettlemans? Well, you have met these people, right? They’re – they’re not exactly masterminds, right? They will be caught if the cops are looking for them. So tell them to, would you? The FBI, too – I heard they’re getting in on this.

Kim:
Why would the FBI listen to me?

Jimmy:
Well, Hamlin – they’ll listen to him, right? APD, at least. You – you talk to Howard. You explain things to him. He has clout with these people. [Kim sighs] What? Is – is that a no or...

Kim:
Hamlin will never agree to it. The Kettlemans are our clients. This would mean incriminating them.

Jimmy:
Oh, you – you see? That’s why people hate lawyers.

Kim:
It’s Hamlin’s call, and Hamlin will never agree. And even if it were up to me, you know I couldn’t. I’m sorry. I just...

Jimmy:
I get it. [Jimmy turns and leaves]

Kim:
Where are you going?

Jimmy:
I’m gonna go talk to Nacho. I’ll try to make him see reason. To beg!
