Better Call Saul, Season 5

[Kim tells Jimmy she quit Schweikart & Cokely and left Mesa Verde with them]

Jimmy:
What happened? Did somebody say something about what we did?

Kim:
No, no–

Jimmy:
Was it Rich?

Kim:
Nobody said anything. Uh, it just, it... it felt right.

Jimmy:
“It felt right”? Wha–How?

Kim:
I- I just keep pushing Mesa Verde away to do my pro bono work and then when you were gone, I didn’t know what happened. I mean, I... I thought you were dead. So, that was, um... all of it helped me to see what’s important and what isn’t.

Jimmy:
[checks his ringing phone and puts it away] So, you’re just gonna throw it all away? I mean, you busted your ass for all of it.

Kim:
I’m not throwing it away. I did S&C, I did Mesa Verde, I did that. I-I achieved that, I had that experience, but... it doesn’t make me happy.

Jimmy:
...Look, it’s been a rough couple of days, so why don’t you just hold off on a final decision. Call Rich, tell him you’re thinking it over.

Kim:
I already talked to Rich, and I called Paige. We had a nice, very long conversation, it’s done... then I spent the afternoon in the courthouse with pro bono clients without Mesa Verde hanging over my head. Best afternoon I’ve had in a long time.

Jimmy:
Alright, pro bono is wonderful, it is, but... pro bono means no money. So, what’s the plan here?

Kim:
I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out.

Jimmy:
Okay... leaving Schweikart, I get that: it’s a bunch of stuffed shirts, but uh, Mesa Verde? Hey, that’s like leaving the Yankees to play amateur ring toss.

Kim:
No, it’s not! I’m–I’m leaving something that makes zero difference in the world to help people who are actually in need.

Jimmy:
[muttering] This is a bad idea.

Kim:
What?!

Jimmy:
Look- we all make choices, right, and those choices, they put us on a road. And the road has good choices and it has bad choices, and this is a bad choice road!

Kim:
What are you even talking about?

Jimmy:
I’m– [silences his ringing phone] saying that bad choices lead to bad roads that lead to bad places!

Kim:
When you decided to be Saul Goodman, I didn’t get it–still don’t, really–but I stood by your decision... and I’m not changing my identity, I’m just leaving a job!

Jimmy:
What I did was completely different!

Kim:
How?

Jimmy:
‘Cause I was leaving failure for success!

Kim:
It’s not different! You believed it was right for you, give me the courtesy of believing this is right for me.

Jimmy:
And I’m giving you a reality check: this is too far, too fast!

Kim:
And I’m giving you a reality check: this is really none of your damn business.
