Better Call Saul, Season 4

[Kim has just found out about Jimmy's unsuccessful reinstatement hearing. She waits for Jimmy on the top floor of a parking garage. Jimmy's car can be heard screeching from many floors below before he finally arrives]

Jimmy:
[angrily gets out of the car] Insincere! INSINCERE!

Kim:
Jimmy, what happened?

Jimmy:
A goddamn year?! What am I supposed to do for a whole year?!

Kim:
Jimmy!

Jimmy:
I guarantee I'm not selling cell phones for a fucking year, I'll tell you that!

Kim:
What did they say exactly? How did—

Jimmy:
A hard pass! And don't tell me I can appeal because once the board hears the word, "insincere", I'm screwed!

Kim:
Jimmy...

Jimmy:
How do you just prove insincere?!

Kim:
Jimmy, please! Jimmy, just take a breath, and start from the beginning. Please.

Jimmy:
I was good, Kim. I–I mean, I wasn't stuck up, but I knew my shit! Right?! "What have you been doing during your suspension?", and, "Have you been keeping up with the law?", yadda-yadda. All fine! And then one of them, out of nowhere, comes up with this weird-ass question: "What does the law mean to you?"

Kim:
That's a big one.

Jimmy:
Huge! And I nailed it! I talked about the meaning of the law, and I was down to earth, and I was humble, and I was sincere. And they loved it!

Kim:
S–So...

Jimmy:
So, they turned me down!

Kim:
Well, there has to be more to it than that.

Jimmy:
There's not!

Kim:
I don't... What did they say when you talked about Chuck?

Jimmy:
What does Chuck have to do with this? What...?

Kim:
So, you didn't even...

Jimmy:
Why would I?

Kim:
[pause] Okay. Okay, um... Okay, listen, we will figure this out. And yes, you will appeal...

Jimmy:
They're just gonna rubber stamp...

Kim:
...we'll appeal this, we won't let them! We'll find a way to make you look sincere!

Jimmy:
Kim, I was sincere!

Kim:
I know that. I meant we will fix it.

Jimmy:
I might have been a little corny, but I meant every word!

Kim:
I know that.

Jimmy:
[pause] You don't believe me.

Kim:
Of course I do.

Jimmy:
Jesus, it's right there on your face! You think I'm some kind of low-life...

Kim:
What?!

Jimmy:
...some kind of asshole kind of lawyer guilty people hire, right?

Kim:
No, Jimmy, that—that's not what I...

Jimmy:
You look at me, and you see Slippin' Jimmy!

Kim:
I never said that!

Jimmy:
Yeah, but you thought it!

Kim:
You wanna know why the committee called you insincere? Because you didn't mention Chuck!

Jimmy:
What does that have to...

Kim:
They read the transcripts! They know what happened, Jimmy! They were waiting for you to say something about him!

Jimmy:
So I'm supposed to make a big, hairy deal about my dead brother at my reinstatement hearing? How is that sincere?! I don't think about Chuck, okay?! I don't miss Chuck! Chuck was alive, and now he's dead, and that's that! Finito! Life goes on, so sue me! [points at Kim] Th–there it is again! That's why we don't have an office!

Kim:
What?! No, do not start on that office! I don't wanna hear another word about that stupid office!

Jimmy:
"Stupid office?" Okay, here we go! Here we go!

Kim:
Jimmy! I have been on your side since the day we met! Who comes... running when you call?! Who cleans up your messes?! I have a job, but I drop everything for you! Every single time—you confessed to a felony on tape—I'm there! You have a bar hearing? I represent you over and over again! If you need me, I'm there! But somehow, in your mind, the only measure of my feelings for you is—is some office?!

Jimmy:
I'm good enough to live with, to sleep with, but God forbid you should have an office with me.

Kim:
What are you—I just told you that...

Jimmy:
You get a little bored with your life, so you come down, and roll around in the dirt. Have some fun with Slippin' Jimmy...

Kim:
Oh, is it fun?!

Jimmy:
...then back up!

Kim:
Fun, like lying to the ADA to get your friend out of the shitter? Or fun like standing there with a smile plastered on my face while you play infantile mind games on my law partner?

Jimmy:
Oh, what a mistake it was to take me up to your office in the sky! You'll never do that again!

Kim:
Yeah, maybe I won't. And maybe next time you call, I won't come.

Jimmy:
There you go! Kick a man when he's down!

Kim:
Jimmy, you are always down. [scoffs and leaves]
