All Kim v. Howard Scenes (S1-5 Better Call Saul)

“Because I don’t care” is probably one of the best delivered lines in the show. It’s music to my ears.

[@frankdodd3355]

I couldn't agree more. It's fantastic, devastating delivery, like a resonant bomb being dropped in the coldest way. And when we see ultimately that it's done under duress, it only magnifies the delivery. Patrick Fabian kills it in this series.

What I love about the "keep it to yourself" scene is that it initially seems to prove all of the audience's suspicions about Howard being a pretentious blowhard, but immediately afterward he regrets his words and tells Kim the truth. One of the best written characters in BCS

[@robertflinch2447]

Everyone is praising the "I dont care line" when it clearly wasnt genuine. He immediately regretted saying it and called Kim back into his office.

[@techzone1552]

It's the way he says it tbh

[@marcusvergara6193]

we are praising it because it sounds funny

[@w.o.jackson8432]

It's praiseworthy *because* it is literally a hammy line from Hamlin. If this was genuinely how the character was feeling it would be shitty acting, but as we find out later, it is hammed up because Hamlin was trying to pretend to be the bad guy. So basically it's a good actor pretending to be a bad actor but still sounding cool in his delivery, that's why people love it.

[@xeroxs7313]

You wanna know what I believe, I believe that you are way out of your depth in this matter, so, the next time you want to come here and tell us what we are doing wrong, you are welcome to keep it to yourself, because we don’t care Close the door, I need to tell you something

[@iamcase1245]

He regrets the way he says it, not the fact that he told her he doesn't care. Howard is actually a soft caring person who doesnt like to hurt people. It's just that he's trained himself to be hard and cold when he needs to be in order to get things done. He's a lawyer. It's all an act, look at the way he walks and stands, it's all rehearsed. Kim is textbook Stockholm Syndrome. Jimmy is *broken*, she has no business being with him, but she's getting off emotionally on the ups and downs of all his antics (major theme of the last season) - and in the end - look where she ends up.... The last scene of this edit is genius foreshadowing of the fact that Jimmy in the end will destroy all of Kim's potential.

[@TheAndrerion]

Howard slowly but surely became one of my favorites. Outside of Nacho’s Dad, he is one of the most inherently well meaning and good characters of the story.

[@robotube7361]

Howard was the literall reverse mirror to Jimmy/Saul. Both Howard and Jimmy went through some shit but unlike Jimmy, Howard didnt let those bad experiences change him and who he was. He endured everything they threw at him and kept his head high. jimmy and kim let their inner demons consume them.

[@goldengoodra2941]

“You know who really knew Jimmy? Chuck.” Chuck’s actions made Jimmy that way he was, but Jimmy’s actions after Chuck’s death proved to Howard that everything Chuck said about him was true.

[@nont18411]

The worst choice road for Jimmy was throwing that therapy card down the toilet. If he went to a shrink, his emotions and outlook on life would’ve turned out very differently. But still, even if he came back as Jimmy McGill esq., the cartel would’ve got him anyway thanks to his mistake in season 1.

[@Nai-qk4vp]

@@nont18411 Biggest mistake of his life was not ending all contact with Chuck after he learned Chuck stabbed him in the back. Again. He is just a bad influence ane constant source of rage and sorroe in Jimmy's life. I imagine he could have partenered with Kim, maintained and even improved his relationship with Howard(Howard only ever went along with Chuck's schemes out of loyalty and never because he had anything against Jimmy. He said himself he had always liked him.) and settled the Sandpiper case.

[@Nai-qk4vp]

Also, thank fuck one person gets it. Seems like every douche bag thinks Chuck was right back when he was alive. No, you incompetent nincompoops. He wasn't. Jimmy had been clean for nearly a decade and only when Chuck stabbed him in the back again did he begin to change for the worse. Of course, After Chuck was gone, there was no way in good faith one can claim Jimmy's on his own and his actions are only his own. Howard wanted to reconcile and put the oast behind them, but Jimmy did not try to let go of his resentnent and processrd his emotions, so he decided to just let go of any chance to better that situation. At this point it is on him. And I cannot blame Howard for thinking the way he did after Jimmy and Kim ruined his life.

[@papageorgioumoritzmonk8166]

[@strider8662]

Except Jimmy was already cutting corners even before he knew Chuck had betrayed hım. There is just no senario where Chuck was reason Jimmy is the way he is. I get that just because you see things in Jimmy's perspective you grow to like the character and think he is in the right but if you take his actions with their reason in a objective judgement, things he did is on his own and there is no one that could have stopped hım.

[@johnhein2539]

You may be right. Skyler banging Ted to "get back at Walt" just didn't get in people's heads the right way to be empathetic to her. I don't think it's misogyny, because imagine if in the show Weeds, and the main woman's husband was SO ANGRY she's dealing drugs, he bangs his younger, more legitimately successful secretary. Pretty sure women watchers would be just as much "that husband is fucking trash/bullshit" as the other way around, possibly more so. Except there would be a huge cringy scene where the drug dealing wife teaches her husband and the tramp a lesson using her hired thugs. Wheras Walt never punishes Ted, and only controls his wife himself using psychological traps (much more terrifying and dramatically engaging). Howard's feelings and actions seem logical every step of the way.

yeah he was trying to diffuse the Lalo situation and didn't run when Kim told him to. Tried to help them even after all the shit the put him through

[@ringkunmori]

I always thought the 2nd confrontation was totally uncalled for. Howard clearly had the right intentions and he was willing to make it up. I think at that moment Kim was unpacking her baggage by projecting onto Jimmy's grief. It's one of the few times Kim was so irate she lost her handling.

[@abc-pn2eb]

I agree. It also sets up a great contrast when Kim speaks to Howard’s wife, where she is doing the same thing (convincing her that Howard was on cocaine/committed suicide), yet she is lying, tainting Howard’s name, and doing it from an ingenuine place.

[@ajgilcrest7887]

I don’t know about that. I think Kim makes an excellent point that Howard didn’t feel like he owed that theory to chucks ex wife but did owe it to Jimmy. Obviously Howard’s intentions weren’t malicious but they were definitely naive and a little selfish. It’s not that he was trying to hurt jimmy but he felt so much guilt towards chucks death that he had to unload onto somebody without really thinking about the consequences that would have on jimmy. I agree that Kim does go a little over the top but that’s mostly just the traumatic emotions surrounding chucks death and how horribly jimmy had been handling it up to this point. I wouldn’t say it’s uncalled for though.

@@buyucuserefsiz2199 the only things he did wrong, were unfairly punishing Kim and rejecting Jimmy from HHM.

Try to really think, who’s side would you take: Your best friend who raised you up to the top, or a stranger you know nothing about? Besides all that, Howard rarely even felt comfortable by taking Chuck’s side, and after everything happened, he STILL made amends. How can you not see that?

Rhea was incredible in this particular scene but Patrick was so brilliantly subtle too. His body language, head down, shocked at the realisation he screwed up.

They bullied him and leveraged him into doing stuff for everyone and those same people turn around and use him as a door mat. He definitely didn't deserve ANYTHING that befell him in the series. He literally dead for no reason

[@HyusKays]

Kim should have won THE DAMN EMMY! FOR THE SECOND ACT

[@prvoloptaski]

See, what I love about this, especially now with the context of season 6, what I love about this scene where Kim confronts Howard for telling Jimmy that he thinks Chuck killed himself - it's that Howard was (obviously) completely correct, yet Kim's outwardly justifiable and fair outrage is in context actually not at all fair. Howard was the one who took much more responsibility than he was due for what happened, while Jimmy took none. And Kim, in her righteous anger, ends up as the enabler (at this point arguably unknowingly) for Jimmy's very worst instincts and behaviours. She's almost talking herself into creating a narrative around Howard and how much he deserves her disdain - and in the end, look where that got her.

[@helenaperez4343]

It’s sad because as far as we know, Kim never found out that Jimmy is the one who screwed up Chuck’s insurance, OR about what Chuck’s final words to Jimmy were. There were layers of miscommunication and suppressed emotions, and Kim, while still guilty of enabling Jimmy’s worst moments, never realized the full scope of the story.

YOOO I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO LOOK UP A HOWARD COMP AND BOOM THERE IT WAS FIRST THING ON MY PAGE LETS GOOOO

[@jackedkerouac4414]

the more I rewatch BCS the more I realize Howard was just a tough boss. Tough but ultimately reasonable

[@howdy000]

I love how BrBa and BCS always make you see things better in retrospect.... You have to watch the series more than once to understand it in Hein sight ✌️😍🇦🇺😎 It's clips like these that help remind me why Kim had so much 'fun' with Howard.. Hence, 'Fun and games'

[@lauranm2k939]

4:20 - if only Howard would've listened...

[@buster5661]

Howard does not deserve what Kim did to him

[@sarahm4669]

The cartel side of this show is pretty good but to me the essence of Better Call Saul is in these characters (and ofc Jimmy, Chuck etc). Their feelings and motivations and who is in the right/wrong are so ambiguous at times

[@MrFusion]

It's crazy how different Kim is when putting clips for season 1 next to 5, she really was Slippin Kimmy underneath

[@PittsburghSonido]

"Hey lets let jimmy dig around the fire-damaged wreck where his brother died SCREAMING" HITS EVERY TIME

[@theaalpal1585]

Looking back at them. Theres obvious gaslighting by Kim, even when Howard mentions that Jimmy is out of control, and it makes no sense to drop Mesa Verde. Kim was having a kick out of all the fun she was having, it only took what happened in Season 6 to learn she and Jimmy were poison for others

[@ken-vo]

As much as I love Kim, I can't help but see her as the villain in the last scenes. Howard was genuine and tried to do what he could to tell the truth but in the end, he gets spurned and shafted.

[@davidwu8951]

Her pony tail is up every time, it’s subtle but it clearly brings out another side of her when it’s up.

[@blackman34]

i wished the vid kept the part where howard told kim to close the door after saying he didnt care.

[@Madferit91]

Howard is the best man. One of my favorites of this universe. His journey and character development is amazing.

[@LAVATORR]

Hahaha oh man, good times, good times. You know it looks bad now, but years from now we'll all look back on these days and laugh.

[@LAVATORR]

Except Howard.

[@emergensiexit]

It may look like Kim is getting Ws from these but it’s really the opposite. Howard was the man they really did dirty to him and their lives were ruined for doing that.

[@jsphat81]

You missed the one where Kim writes him a check for almost 15K to pay Howard back for putting her through law school through HHM and he refuses it and tears it up in her face.

[@rickvelvet8983]

Tbh yeah that scene with the check is one of the biggest moments between the two of them in the entire show

[@Horror-Man]

Who, watching Season 1, could've ever guessed that this man's death would arguably be the saddest in the entire Breaking Bad-Better Call Saul universe? Sadder than Chuck's, Gale's, Andrea's, Jane's, or Nacho's, in my opinion.

[@IAmNumber4000]

My two favorite characters on the show and it made me so sad whenever they got mad at each other 😭

[@vonbraunwerner9067]

About the bowling bowls and prostitutes... Howard told it to Jimmy, Jimmy told him he was unhinged. Then he told it to Kim, and Kim laughed her (cute) arse off. No surprise Howard was a little baffled. Fact is, Jimmy "revenge pranks" on Howard were so... childish, immature, anybody would laugh at Howard. I wonder if that was a deliberate move by Jimmy ? making pranks on Howard, so immature, nobody would ever belive a grown man could make them ? And thus would tell Howard "this cannot be, no adult would ever do that ! "

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Oh, that first scene - without the "Wait, close the door" - is severely undermined.

[@edgarrenteria8898]

She deserved so much more credit for her performance

[@peterweatherhead8141]

1:56 “duly noted”. Same thing that Howard’s wife said to him in S6. He knows how to shut down a conversation because it happens to him on a daily basis, only in Howard’s case it’s because of circumstances out of his control, Chuck already decided Jimmy was out. Howard gets wrongly put into antagonistic positions because that’s all he can do when caught in the middle of Chuck and Jimmy. All he ever does is try to do his job, and he’s continually forced to play the bad guy against his own character. He knows how much those words can hurt. What an incredibly tragic character

[@Hardrive2677]

Patrick Fabian is awesome in this show

[@MoonatikYT]

>Here's to hoping she yells at him some more in season 6! AAUUUUGGGHHH

[@ethanbarnes7163]

[@DJFNaFMan]

I just realised Howard’s name rhymes with coward

This comment should be pinned

[@justincruz5720]

What’s wild is that there is more than this.

[@dubbeking]

Howard was the finest man in the show.

[@anthonygerace8926]

What's great about this show (and Breaking Bad) is the way it shows the context of the behavior of the characters. The way that Jimmy and Kim tried to ruin Howard's life (and ultimately, unintentionally, caused him to be killed) is truly despicable. But the cold, pompous way that he had treated them before that provides context for their behavior.

[@BareBandSubscription]

No, they treated him the way they did because they are toxic, broken children who project all of their resentment of the world onto the man who was most good to them. Howard literally helped put Kim through law school. He also didn’t press charges against Jimmy for property damage despite the “prank” being in response to a generous job offer. Normal, well-adjusted people do not treat a man like Howard the way they did. It’s their own personal issues that clouded their judgment. That’s the context people should have been holding onto when seeing all the harassment, bullying, and character-assassination those two sorry individuals put the poor guy through.

[@dingpart1]

Me when my wife tells me I've been drinking too much: 1:54

[@MisterSmith00]

That whole time during the first scene, you can tell that Howard is incredibly angry with how things turned out: he’s typing like he’s angry at the keyboard, and he’s as stiff as a board. H.H.M had just lost a huge case because Chuck…someone he idolizes…told him what to say in a meeting HE was expected to lead. But he trusts Chuck’s judgement, and goes along with it…and Jimmy takes out all his frustration on Howard; and Howard can’t even muster a good reason. Chuck made Howard take a beating. Worse, Jimmy was being reasonable…and then Kim wanders in, showing genuine loyalty to her friend. And I think…this rubbed Howard the wrong way the most: he saw how Kim was defending Jimmy, and it made Howard second-guess his own relationship with Chuck. Would a REAL friend force you to lie & embarrass another person, who only had good intentions? That’s why Howard snapped at Kim…he was angry that his authority was diminished, sure…but also because he made a bad decision.

[@PHDiaz-vv7yo]

“….but YOOOUUU!!! One of the most promising human beings I’ve ever met…”

[@johnvortecho8034]

In the first argue (Even tho it's not shown) I like how Howard tries so hard to be the a-hole in order to protect his friend's secret, yet at the last moment the words of kim "because he's my friend" clearly resonate with his relationship with chuck.. because he knows Jimmy doesn't deserve it at this point in the story. I absolutely love the small details that clearly show Howard as the most honorable character in the lawyer side of the story,

[@generalspoon2695]

Even though Kim is kind of in the wrong when she blows up on Howard. I got some insane satisfaction watching it. At that point in the show Kim's resentment towards Howard is completely justifiable and the things chuck is doing to jimmy are downright despicable. Even in death. Kim really framed everything jimmy was going through in an adequately vicious light.
