Better Call Saul, Season 5

[Mike receives a visit from Gus at the ranch where he was kept for several days]

Gus:
You look much better. I am glad.

Mike:
So I'm here... to see what a big heart you have. Is that the idea? You throw money at these people, they bow low.

Gus:
As far as the people here are concerned, I am the doctor's friend, and nothing more.

Mike:
They have no idea you financed the whole place?

Gus:
I prefer it that way.

Mike:
The anonymous benefactor. Oh, that must make you feel pretty good. And is that supposed to balance the scales? Make up for everything else you do?

Gus:
It makes up for nothing. I am what I am.

Mike:
[beat] What is this place?

Gus:
Call it... a memorial.

Mike:
To what? [pause] I already told you what you can do with your money. You seem like a guy who can take a hint. So what are we doing?

Gus:
It seems to me that you are at a crossroads. You can continue as you are... drinking, estranged from your family, brawling with street hoods. We both know how that ends.

Mike:
Yeah.

Gus:
You have another choice.

Mike:
Mmm... work for you as a button man.

Gus:
I am in a war. I need a soldier.

Mike:
So, I'm gonna work for one drug dealer killing other drug dealers. That's your idea of a choice?

Gus:
You know better. You have met them. You know what they are.

Mike:
Meaning the Salamancas? And you are so very different from them?

Gus:
Yes. I am different.

Mike:
[pause] Why me?

Gus:
Because I believe that you understand.

Mike:
Understand what?

Gus:
Revenge.
