[Jimmy represents Mike at the DA's office when he goes to change his testimony]

Jimmy:
I regret to inform you that, with the benefit of hindsight, Mr. Ehrmantraut will be amending his original statement a tad.

ADA Assistant:
"A tad"?

Jimmy:
A wee bit. He's decided that he can no longer, in good conscience, claim that the gun found at the crime scene belonged to Tuco Salamanca.

ADA Ericsen:
So, whose gun was it?

Jimmy:
Who's to say? You know how many guns there are in Albuquerque? Somewhere between the number of rattlesnakes and grains of sand, so, a lot.

ADA Ericsen:
Was it your gun, Mr. Ehrmantraut?

Jimmy:
No, he's not saying that-

ADA Assistant:
Can we hear it from Mr. Ehrmantraut?

Mike:
The gun wasn't Salamanca's, that's all I can tell you.

ADA Ericsen:
You told us it was. You said Salamanca pulled it and pointed it at you.

Mike:
...Well, he didn't.

ADA Assistant:
Why are you changing your story?

Jimmy:
Good citizenship.

ADA Ericsen:
Look, there was only one set of prints on the gun: Salamanca's. How's that gonna happen if it wasn't his?

Jimmy:
That's not really for my client to say, now is it? He's not a forensics expert. Who knows, maybe it, uh... fell from a passing bird's beak and Mr. Salamanca caught it, tried to throw it away. [Mike rolls his eyes] I mean, the possibilities are endless.

ADA Assistant:
Did Salamanca threaten you, Mr. Ehrmantraut?

Jimmy:
Hey!

ADA Assistant:
We wanna put this guy away for years. The gun makes all the difference, you know that. You gonna let this person victimize you twice?

Jimmy:
Forget about the gun, alright? The gun was not Salamanca's. If you try to introduce it in evidence, Mr. Ehrmantraut will make himself available to the defense and he will set the record straight, categorically and unequivocally.

ADA Ericsen:
...Did he threaten you or pay you off?

Jimmy:
[acting offended] Whoa! Okay, that's it! We're done.

[Jimmy gets up and holds the door for Mike. They stand in front of the elevator]

Jimmy:
You're doing the right thing. This Salamanca character? Maniac. I had my own... thing with him. I didn't wanna say anything before because conflict of interest, yadda yadda, but yeah, he's nuts. [whispers] I'm talking, he had me hogtied in the desert with a gun to my head, broke two guys' legs right in front of me. If I hadn't talked him down, he probably would've... I'll spare you the gory details, but it was a deal and a half, not something you forget.

Mike:
And you're telling me this, why?

Jimmy:
Don't be too tough on yourself; like they say, discretion is the better part of valor. I would've done the same thing. Hey, today? It's on me, no charge.

[The elevator opens, but Mike pushes Jimmy away before he gets on]

Mike:
You take the next one, and bill me.
