Totally. He just saved her from potentially years of trying to achieve what other people have already decided she can't have, like the time that he spent trying to make his brother proud of him. If Jimmy had been told that it was NEVER going to happen, then maybe he would've made different choices and not become Saul.

@@Tekillyah Saying "yes" plainly would have sufficed in that case. But the "I think I do" followed by a deliberate look back at Saul indicates that, at the very least, his words have affected her. She doesn't give an affirmative - she shows unsureness, which isn't exactly what Saul wants to hear, but it's her being honest. If you're in an uncomfortable situation and want out, you're going to tell the person exactly what they want to hear to be satisfied: a "yes" in this case. But her "I think I do" may have opened up for Jimmy to feel the need to go into further elaboration - something she wouldn't want if she was just trying to leave. The fact that THIS is what was scripted for her to say and do means that the writers wanted to indicate subtly but in a realistic manner that this young woman really did heed Saul's words.

As a man who once made a mistake. I agree 100 % with Saul. Not a criminal but former gambling addict who was too stupid to make something out of himself during his college years. People don't forget it and society/employers/schools don't look past it. He's right. That is exactly how people with power are. They will go out of their way to make damn sure that if you don't do things the way they did it, the way people who already have money do it, aka the expensive way, that you don't get to do it either any other way. So Saul is right, you don't need them. You cut corners, you be smart and you stop asking for them to give you anything and you go take it by doing the things those spoiled brats won't and you make it happen and you learn/earn some freaking pride along the way. You make it happen and you WILL make them angry for succeeding and you won't care because you won't respect them enough to give a damn about how they feel. Me at 28 after going to night school and nobody giving a damn about my extra skills that I learned late but I learned and only caring about the fact that I wasn't a great college gpa the first time around and they definitely didn't want anybody who wanted to get ahead or had problems like I used to. They did not want hungry and ambitious they wanted desperate and starving and willing and to take whatever they gave for as little as possible and better not think about getting ahead or learning anything else. Boot on throat world. 5 years later, I did exactly what Saul said. Went to get it and now I make what they make as a self-employed man in the legal field and I barely have to work 25 hours a week to make over 3 times what those sob's tried to force me to make working 50 and I'm still not done. And it was all legit (mostly). People give Saul crap for cutting corners after earning his degree from American Samoa and not going to law school "the right way." F them. Let them have to pay the bills and learn at the same time. I did and Saul found a legit way to get his degree. He gave up his nights. He have up his weekends to better himself and he passed the damn bar. He earned his damn right to be a lawyer. He freaking earned it. Everybody else who didn't have to work and go to school and got to go to school full time because they were born with the money or had help are the ones who are cutting the freaking corners. Saul did it the hard way. He probably would have been a different person if his jealous sob of a brother didn't intentionally go out of his way to keep Saul in the mail room just so he could feel better about himself by thinking that at least Saul was still beneath him.

You are the problem. Jimmy in this scene is the problem. I'm as far from rich as you can be (my profile pic was taken in a public library bathroom 6 months ago while I was living under a bridge and had just gone through a nasty covid bout without even a tent to sleep in), but this mindset is *the* problem of society today. Jimmy crying after is proof of this, whether Vince realized it or not. He knows he's a bad guy. People with your mindset want success, whether it serves the purpose of a healthy society or not. Then turn around and wonder why everything is so tainted. It's because of an endless series of people who will desperately grab at success for its own sake, for *their* own sake. You paint succeeding in a completely amoral world as an accomplishment. Anything you consider civilization was built by people who wanted what's best for *others*. You think you are breaking free with the mindset presented by your comment? You are just willfully placing the collar around your own neck and smiling at the satisfactory click.

It's an incredibly realistic depiction of how society views ex-criminals. You make one mistake and they will never let you forget it. It's classic insider/outsider group psychology at work - nobody wants to be seen as a convict, so they won't give ex-cons a chance at redemption, so they just keep staying convicts. Criminal records are the modern day merit of shame: you committed a stupid mistake 10 years ago? Tough shit, you screwed up, we're never letting you in. Jimmy was encouraging her not to be so naive to believe in the hope that she'll ever be allowed into high society because she'll forever be known as 'the shoplifter'. Interestingly enough, The Kettleman's - a similar calibre of a people to the lawyers of HHM - committed a huge crime of embezzling millions of dollars, yet tried to rationalise away their crime and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Hell, even Howard illegally trespassed across three neighbouring gardens when he, Chuck and the PI were waiting to stake out Jimmy. Meanwhile, Kristy Esposito, a woman who made a mistake to steal something (we don't know what, it could have been food for her family for all we know), is trying hard to turn her life around - much like Jimmy - but is getting nowhere fast. Life kicked Jimmy to the kerb, both literally and metaphorically. Every day has been an uphill struggle to get recognition. In Season 1 he's desperate not to be seen as the kind of lawyer 'guilty people hire', all the while held back by his own brother who refuses to see him as anything other than Slippin' Jimmy. In Season 2 he fights on Kim's behalf for HHM spitefully firing her, in Season 3 he has to battle off legal trouble with Chuck, whilst in Season 4 he struggles to convince the law panel he deserves to practice law. For what he's went through - working in the lowly mail room (and being kept there by Chuck who, had he discovered Jimmy's intentions to become a lawyer would have no doubt gone out of his way to stop him), working out the back of a nail salon and not being allowed to practice under his birth name from competition with HHM, to having to fight tooth and nail to get his law licence reinstated (resorting to the underhanded tactic of feigning remorse) - he's telling her in quite plain terms not to bother playing it straight as it won't do her any favours in the long run. There's a classist element to the conviction process, where those fortunate enough to have money and connections will not suffer the same stigma as say the working class bartender who stole some cash out of the till. HHM, Schweikart and Cokely, Chuck and Hamlin etc. embody the kind of elitist prudes who deride people like Kristy and Jimmy for trying to better themselves. I think that's why Jimmy didn't take the job at Davis & Main initially, then sabotaged his chances there, because he knew he wouldn't be accepted, even if he played it straight; he would still be viewed as an outsider in their eyes.

As someone who has had a very similar path to Saul's in the legal world (didn't end up as amigo del cartel, but as a self made man rather than the Chuck-esque kind of lawyer everyone expected me to be when I was in Law school), that line hit me. Because it's fucking true. They never stop trying to bring you down, in one way or another. But it brought the best of me. Persevere, endure, resist, never surrender. Success is a long path if you are not privileged: Whether you choose to be self made like me or going through the "right" way, it's a long path. The key is to keep going.

It's basically how I feel as someone who wants to be a car designer, those are the people in charge of styling cars to make them look the way they do. Basically everyone in that field goes to a prestigious design school where they charge you 300k to learn how to sketch and come up with new product proposals. I couldn't afford it, and most of the people in the design community have their heads so far up their own asses that they're permanently high on methane. I taught myself how to do 3D modeling, improved my ability to present ideas, predict trends, and put together business cases, all while pairing that with a communications degree. I'm putting my portfolio together now, each product, each design was created with the intention of thinking differently, of giving people a reason to bet on me.

Casting is top notch on this show. I like how Christie looks young and fresh faced but yet also has a determined and hardened expression to her. Encapsulates that whole "could go either way depending on what breaks they get" I'll be surprised if this scene doesn't pay off in season six somehow.
@nicbentulan8 ай бұрын
Yes exactly. Series like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, etc really spare no expense for the hiring of the best actors even for the smallest parts and even the camera angle, directing, etc are top notch. Reminds me of this Latin saying we learned in Catholic school 'Maxime facere minima' (not sure if quoted right) like 'do your best even in small things.'

@Kenny continuity? She's in high school right now, in theory she would need about 6 years until she can become an actual lawyer. We know that Walter White lived for 2 years after the start of breaking bad. At the end of breaking bad, Saul goes into hiding, and he was the manager at cinnabon so in theory he's been there for a few months, probably about a year. That's 3 years. It's not a stretch to think that this conversation probably happened 3 years before Walter White. That means she's probably a lawyer by the time "Gene" gets caught. It is definitely a possibility, especially if she recognizes him which she obviously would from all of the commercials.

this scene is so sad, you can see Jimmy is talking about Chuck. "they will see your mistake and they will only see that" he wanted so badly to be recognized by him, accepted, redeemed on his eyes. but he could never catch up with his expectations and that ultimately made him brak bad. He realized he never had a chance in the first place "i know you, i know who you are, you're slipping Jimmy. people don't change" Jimmy's tears are his response to that statement

I don’t think he was necessarily telling her how to be a great lawyer, rather giving a speech that combined how to fight like hell in life, whilst at the same time lamenting unfairness in the world. I’m a lawyer. I didn’t start my career out of law school at some white glove firm. I eventually had to start my own. Almost everything he said in his speech is true. Now that I have my clients that I can be selective about, I get to be satisfied that associates who work at “big law” hate their 90 hour work weeks. This speech is about trying to drown out the lies society tries to placate you with about “equality of opportunity.” It doesn’t it exist. Sometimes, you have to bear down and swallow your pride. But today, when few people have any integrity to speak of anymore, the ignominy associated with having to take something “beneath you” isn’t as bad anymore. Nothing salves your wounds quite like disposable time, being your own boss-and money. Get out there and hustle. Others out there have walked that well trod path on which you are about to embark. We’ll see you there and keep your seat warm until you arrive.

Meritocracy is an idea. That the world today is a meritocracy is the lie. All these comments missing the truth: meritocracy is worth dying for, the most beautiful thing, but y'all aren't worthy of it. You'd rather throw the whole world in the trash than just be normal. You create your own nepotism and then cry about the grief. Heroes are real but you'd never acknowledge them. Instead you glorify self-proclaimed grifters as the winners...

@bob which, hey, if they changed a field to fix some perceived slight or fault, that's at least respectable in theory. But they flood in because of high pay, prestige, and a dignified work environment, change everything and then start spreading mental/spiritual poison like "meritocracy is a lie". I never worked in that field professionally but I'm sorry for your loss. A fulfilling, prosperous career is one of the highest achievements a man can aim for. Thanks for your insight.

I was so fucking clueless for 30 years as a naive idiot and I was busting my ass to please and serve countless people, while my interests were always neglected, and were put behind anyone’s, just like the way Jimmy acted towards Chuck in season 1.

Had my first interview yesterday. I was heartbroken when I got rejected just minutes ago in a personal email. “I worked so hard for this and they just disposed of me!” and “was it something I said?” were general thoughts floating inside of my mind at the time. Now I come back to this scene with tears streaming down my face. I completely feel what Kristy must’ve been feeling in that exact moment and Saul’s words of “encouragement” really spoke to me because they were what was going through my head. I never was going to get that spot-too many people applied for it-but man did it sting. Yet, I’m not super upset by it. If you expect disappointment, you’ll never be disappointed-and I’m not disappointed. I’m just sad, which is better, I suppose.
