Better Call Saul, Season 6
[Jimmy arrives home after hearing the news that Kim has quit her legal career]
Jimmy:
You did what?! WHY?! WHY?! Alright, alright, I know why. But Kim, you can't just—
Kim:
Jimmy, I—
Jimmy:
Shhh! Just let me say my piece, okay? Just—Let's take a breath here! Kim, after everything that happened... I mean, Jesus! I get it! You want to climb out of your own skin! That's natural! But Kim, you don't just throw everything away! Th-th-this is your life! You're a lawyer! What about your clients, huh? What about, uh... that poor guy, Mr. Yarborough? What about the kid in foster care? Huh?! You give them everything you got! Who are they going to find who is half as good as you?! No one! They need you!
Kim:
It's already done.
Jimmy:
Ugh! [pause] Okay, what's done can be undone. All I'm saying is just—just let's take a week or two to think it over. For now, we're gonna take some time off. God knows we need it. We're gonna to find a new place, we're—we're gonna leave here. We're never, ever gonna come back here again. Okay? We're gonna—we're gonna put it behind us! Things will look brighter! I guarantee it! But first we have to fix this. So we're gonna go back to the hotel room, and you're gonna write letters. You're gonna write a letter to the bar, you're gonna write letters to your clients. You—you—you dictate, I will type. We're gonna roll this thing back. I'll order a pizza, we'll pull an all-nighter. Because we're in this together. Okay? So I'm gonna go get your—your printer, and then we're gonna get the hell out of here.
[Jimmy turns to head into the bedroom]
Kim:
Wait—Jimmy. Jimmy!
[Jimmy enters the bedroom to discover half-full boxes and luggage everywhere]
Kim:
You asked if you were bad for me. That's not it. We are bad for each other.
Jimmy:
Kim... Don't do this. Kim, please.
Kim:
Jimmy... [holding back tears] I have had the time of my life with you. But we are bad for everyone around us. Other people suffer because of us. Apart we're okay, but together we're poison.
Jimmy:
[shakes his head] No, no. Just tell me what I need to do to change, okay? Just tell me what it is, and I'll do it.
Kim:
Jimmy...
Jimmy:
No, Kim. You make me happy. We make each other happy. How can that be bad? Hey... I love you.
Kim:
I love you, too. [voice breaking] But so what?
Jimmy:
No. No. No, Kim, you're wrong! This is about Howard! Okay?! What happened to him wasn't on us! It wasn't your fault! It wasn't my fault! It was that fucking Lalo Salamanca! That psychopath came back from the dead and he walked through that door! He did this! Not us, him!
Kim:
I knew.
Jimmy:
You knew wh-what?
Kim:
I knew he was alive.
Jimmy:
No, you didn't.
Kim:
It was about a month ago. I saw that car following me again. And it turned out that Mike Ehrmantraut had guys watching both of us, watching for Lalo.
Jimmy:
Mike... Mike told you that Lalo was alive? [Kim nods] And you didn't tell me?
Kim:
[pause] Jimmy... I thought... I thought it was a one-in-a-million chance that he'd come for us. I thought he would be caught if he did. And I told myself I was protecting you. But that's not the truth. The reason I didn't tell you was because I knew what you'd do.
Jimmy:
Wh-what would I do?
Kim:
You'd—you'd blame yourself. You'd fear for me. You'd want us to run and hide until you were sure I was safe. You would pull the plug on the scam, and then... [pause] and then, we'd break up. And I didn't want that. Because I was having too much fun!
[Kim breaks down crying and returns to the bedroom to pack; Jimmy stands in the living room in silence]
