Getting Out Of Community Service | Slip | Better Call Saul

[@nguyenngo7661]

I think an important part of this scene is when the guy actually pays Jimmy. It's one of the few times Jimmy gets rewarded and I think it sets him on the path to working with "criminals" and turning on the system

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

This is a great interpretation, but: "This is where Walter became Heisenberg."

[@grogery1570]

The legal system is not honorable people defending society, it is charging a fee and maintaining the status quo. To run a profitable legal practice you don't need good clients you need a** holes! They are the people who will drag in the suckers who you extract the cash from. In this case jimmy just extracted a cut from an Ahole drug dealer, and played the sucker who thought he was a tough guy. Jimmy because this guy knows that he may need him again and if he doesn't pay up, he will find himself on the end of some slipping Jimmy pain.

[@gloomystardust]

[@gloomystardust]

"Law abiding" citizens usually think they are in the right, therefore shouldn't be charged for doing the "right thing". Criminals know they're in trouble if they go to court, so will pay whatever you ask because it's better than years of prison.

I'm not sure how much it concerned him, TBH. Sure he was concerned enough to block his career. But he didn't seem to think it was worth the effort to actually talk to him about it.

[@nickyoung7375]

[@3hutp]

Do you guys remember when Walt wanted to stop Jesse from carrying out his plan and poisoning the two drugdealers? He told Saul that he should put him away temporarily, not like in a 'proper jail', but in 'one of the situations when people are in an orange jumpsuit picking up litter along the highway'. To which Saul replies 'Yeah, that's jail'. I think this BCS episode is a reference to that. Saul was doing exactly what Walt described later.

[@FrostbringerSaLance]

Walter was referencing a chaingang, not community service, but it is a neat little nod

[@drdramatik]

Saul isn't in jail here, he's not even wearing a jumpsuit; he's just doing community service, but what Walt was describing was in fact jail

The STATE is immune to lawsuits, but not an individual working for the state. Besides, this guy didn't work for the state anyway. He worked for the city. Do try to keep up. That would make him a CITY Official or Agent, not a STATE agent. Also, even if the lawsuit didn't win, Jimmy still has the right to file it. Being that Jimmy is indeed a lawyer, I'm certain he'd know how to drag it out long enough for that man to become penniless in the process. Educate yourself. You sound like an idiot.

[@TheSeanoops]

It's amazing what can be accomplished when you know the law, or at least convincingly pretend to, and the person you're talking to doesn't. It's exactly how cops can scare people to consent and comply to otherwise unlawful acts and orders. Like you consenting to them search your car without a warrant, or giving up your ID when ordered even if the officer doesn't have reasonable articulable suspicion that you've committed a crime. The lesson, don't be ignorant to the law.

It was a bluff a very convincing one. He just knew the guy would never want to deal with this bs it wasn't simply worth it. Usually he can bully people around, but Saul is not just some guy, he is a great lawyer, he didn't stand a chance. Fear wins over everyone eventually.

[@voluntarism335]

Not true, bs lawsuits do happen and sometimes those people actually win or if they don't it's dragged out for so long it financially cripples the defendant, the guard did not want to take that chance, not worth it.

[@trianglemoebius]

@@voluntarism335 the question isn't if they happen, it's if Jimmy will actually go through with it. SLAPP suits only work if the person filing them has significantly more money (or at least more they can stand to lose) than the defendant. Saul doesn't, he'd go broke and take himself down alongside his target, but they don't know that.

[@MegaZeta]

Look, I love this show, but nothing about this scene is convincing. Both _Better Call Saul_ and _Breaking Bad_ are on better footing with Jimmy when they present his opponents with at least a bit of verisimilitude and force him to sink even lower. No one in that guy's situation would roll over that quickly.

[@maxsperling7009]

@@MegaZeta Yes he would, the bully is miserable, why else woul he supervise some people picking up trash. He is a failure, a small fish. Saul knew it, otherwise it would have never worked.

[@sludge8506]

[@thetooginator153]

I have a feeling a judge would dismiss that suit pretty quickly, but the guard doesn’t know that. And if the judge DOESN’T dismiss the suit, the guard would be as bankrupt as Saul predicts. It would also force the State of New Mexico to establish clear guidelines about guards’ personal liability - which would cost a lot of money for the state to codify. If Saul had thrown in that last part - the guard would have let the young fellow go AND sent Saul to the hospital right away.

i always expected to see more scenes like this from his community service, i think it's an error to just have 2 or 3 scenes of it when it took 6 months for Jimmy to complete it

[@PR--un4ub]

What else do you think the writers should have done with Jimmy's community service?

[@omegajrz1269]

No es un error.

[@agsmashups]

@@PR--un4ubprobably a montage of sorts.

[@Nickdude56]

“Cheap lawyer” may be true, but Jimmy has heart and I can respect that about him.

[@jordan.d.]

Okay, maybe I'm thinking about this too much, but Jimmy said that if he managed to get both of them out of community service, the other guy would have to pay him $700. In the first episode of BCS, the woman at the desk told Jimmy that each case he does gets him $700. Maybe that's why Jimmy asked for $700. That would be how much a case is worth, (Kind of).

[@jptoony2670]

Really cool editing where Jimmy says “700 dollars or I’m gone”, the guy says he doesn’t have it, and in the next shot he’s completely obscured by the dude in front of the camera

[@josh2676]

Saul telling the supervisor how expensive a lawyer is made it so easy for the supervisor to push back on him. The supervisor could have said, same goes for you dumbass you're gonna have to pay a lawyer and court costs too and judging by the fact that youre picking up used diapers by the freeway, i would say you probably couldnt even afford bail.

[@voluntarism335]

Guard did not want to take the chance it was just a bluff.

[@trianglemoebius]

Since he doesn't know Jimmy's crime, that would be easy enough to counter. Bail is very often not set on cases where the court cannot impose meaningful financial loss on an individual, ex if the client is a billionaire no fine they can impose is going to keep them in place. So Saul has a very easy comeback to continue his bluff. Remember, he doesn't need to actually win this debate, he just need to convince the other guy that losing is his best option.

[@Barry_Tsedaka]

i liked it that he asks for the exact amount that will prevent the need to go to the court that day :)

[@lyircmagic3164]

Moments like this are what make me watch the show

[@Jimmyagaming1988]

I wish I was watching this show for the first time again. Amazing!

[@QuasiRus]

The Onion Knight must have been through some serious shit to become a cop in Albuquerque

[@paraplonk7269]

The litter on the ground is seriously an underrated actor. I think it really shows how littered the ground is.

[@CyberCheese392]

If Jimmy pursued that lawsuit I think it would tarnish his reputation enough that he wouldn't be able to maneuver as much as he does later in the show.

[@EagleZH23]

He was never planning to pursue it

[@PR--un4ub]

He was bluffing and the other man folded.

[@trianglemoebius]

I'm sure Jimmy would have come up with some genius con to come out on top. Jimmy's faced what should have been reputation death many times and every time twisted things to his advantage, after all.

[@PowerRobMusic]

That guy had no incentive to pay him once he got out

[@The.Badger.]

Just got lawyered, son!! Or, at least, Jimmyed!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TreeFiddyBandit]

“A chimp with a machine gun”

[@Ziolek.2000]

Shame you didn't include the rest of the clip when the guy says best 700 I've ever spent 😂

[@The_end_and_the_beggining]

This is by far my most favorite better call Saul scene. Just awesome

[@mmm.3839]

This obviously wouldn't stand, he knows that and I'm sure the writers knew it too. They did it because he was just trying to scare him

[@endemic_]

"Land of the Free, Home of the Lawsuit" what a remarkable comment by Jimmy 😆

[@thegaspoweredjohnnyjohn3972]

Damn, had Chuck left Jimmy alone, he would've kept helping good people

[@kruszewskimikoaj1200]

He could've kept David & Main job, do good as a lawyer for a few years and prove Chuck wrong. Instead he did everything exactly as Chuck predicted. He was right about him and this scene illustrates that. 'A chimp with a machine gun'.

[@Meatchop]

Bro never even had to roll for a deception check

[@blamecanada8525]

The most unrealistic thing about this scene is the guy actually paid him

[@keithiusmaximus776]

I think whats great about this scene is it really isn't even Slippin' Jimmy, half of it is just Saul talking logically through common sense. Shows how simple, yet intelligent he can be when pulling the strings on people

[@kakkarot045]

Man I never bought these scene, the shenanigans to the absurdly high amount of 700 💲that the person was willing to shell so casually

[@mermer2811]

Bro he worked for gus and their during the 500,000 $ drug seizure bit

[@JerryEskridge]

You know Saul or Slipping Jimmy could sell water to a 🐟!!!😂

[@SC-gh6gd]

I hope his back is ok.

[@Tu_Padre.]

This is what happens when you put all your points into Charisma

[@jason5265]

Hey! That’s the pilot from Manifest

[@justagyroontheinternet]

the police officer watching as jimmy details every single nook and cranny about all 13 laws he violated just now

[@mikehawk4856]

Land of the free and home of the lawsuit lmao 😂
