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]

Nice observation

[@gloomystardust]

Basically every non criminal has screwed Jimmy over at this point, makes sense that he starts turning to this life

[@schachmaster]

"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

@@voluntarism335 the question isn't if they happen, it's if Jimmy will actually go through with it.

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.

Which Is why I feel I should re-watch BCS over BB. I love Walter, but I love Saul more

[@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.

[@Ziolek.2000]

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

[@Ethan-ef1pd]

This and breaking bad will go down in history as great shows

[@ExplorerDS6789]

Hopefully Vince Gilligan will make another show when Better Call Saul ends. Maybe something taking place in present day, like who's running things now? With Walt and Gus and everyone gone, who's the new generation of mobsters and dealers?

[@rimurutempest9937]

A natural 20 at that! 😁

[@ChesterRGC]

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.

[@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

[@hrunchtayt1587]

Man this Jimmy fella would sure make a good leader in Paradox Interactive’s map strategy game Hearts of Iron 4

[@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'.

[@BtrDaze]

Slipping jimmy in all his splendor and glory.

[@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

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

“Slippin Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun”

[@jason5265]

Hey! That’s the pilot from Manifest

[@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

[@LegacyFTW]

Is that the quickest $700 of his life? Knowing Slippin' Jimmy, it's doubtful 🤣

[@samanthagwinn2830]

Pffff right like this would work. It would be more costly and hard for the lawyer then it would a private citizen. Time is money is law, and wasting it on a pointless non winnable lawsuit would never happen. He would also need a medical doctor to back his claim, and they are extremely careful in what they sign for court.

[@blamecanada8525]

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

[@Chiefs_fan1595]

Jimmy is proof of the saying “In any interaction with another person there is a perfect combination of words and tone that will get you anything you want out of the interaction. It’s up to you to find those words.”

[@The_end_and_the_beggining]

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

[@balloonseller193]

У Джимми гораздо лучше получается манипулировать людьми . Уолтер пользуется своим статусом наркобарона чтобы напугать людей а Джимми просто говорит людям про закон и они уже начинают напрягаться от одной только мысли что им придется сидеть в тюрьме

[@endemic_]

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

[@lyircmagic3164]

Moments like this are what make me watch the show

[@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

[@mikehawk4856]

Land of the free and home of the lawsuit lmao 😂

[@Tu_Padre.]

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

Yes speech skills, mr. Goodman!

[@mrsinister8943]

This would never ever work irl. The guy would just laugh it off. Very unrealistic scene.
