Better Call Saul, Season 1

[Jimmy gets a call from Rich Schweikart, a lawyer representing Sandpiper Crossing, as he looks for the shredded documents in a dumpster]

Rich Schweikart:
Mr. McGill, Rich Schweikart of Schweikart and Cokely. We're the law firm representing Sandpiper Crossing assisted living. How are you this evening?

Jimmy:
Quite well, thank you. How are you?

Rich:
Doing fine. I'm sorry to call so late. Did I catch you at a bad time?

Jimmy:
No, no. No, it's fine.

Rich:
It's just that you're whispering.

Jimmy:
I'm at the opera.

Rich:
Oh? What opera?

Jimmy:
Magic Flute.

Rich:
Mozart! Lovely. Well, I'll try not to keep you. We received something from you today, and we're not quite sure what.

Jimmy:
It's a demand letter.

Rich:
Ah. Well, it was a little confusing 'cause it was written on...

Jimmy:
Well, I had to write it quickly because your clients were in the process of destroying evidence!

Rich:
Mr. McGill, if you're talking about "shredding documents", it's neither irregular nor illegal. Every business in America does it.

Jimmy:
You say potato, I say spoliation.

Rich:
Maybe you should walk me through what you're alleging here.

Jimmy:
I believe it's all in the letter.

Rich:
Uh, I–I'm not saying it's not, but it's a bit hard to read. Next time, I'd use double-ply.

Jimmy:
Let's not fixate on the medium, okay? Let's look at the message. Now, your clients are facing multiple counts of elder abuse, and fraud, and deceptive and unfair trade practices, and that's just the start, okay? I'm not a betting man, but I bet the farm I'll find more.

Rich:
Mr. McGill, are you related to Charles McGill?

Jimmy:
He's my brother.

Rich:
Yeah? How's he doing these days?

Jimmy:
I–I fail to see the relevance of this.

Rich:
Well, frankly, the only reason that I made this phone call was out of respect for Charles, on the off chance that you might be related to him. My partner suggested that the best response would be to send a Rule 11 letter and have you sanctioned, but I didn't want to jump to that immediate length.

Jimmy:
How about you stop trying to rattle my cage and just, you know, respond to the merits?

Rich:
This is my response, Mr. McGill. You have no good-faith basis to threaten any litigation. This is a shakedown, and we both know it. Now, if you push this any further, my hands will be tied. Sorry for interrupting your evening. Enjoy The Magic Flute.

Jimmy:
[after Schweikart has hung up] Blow my magic flute!
