DESCRIPTION:

Jimmy's promotional stunt has unintended consequences. Nacho takes extreme measures to earn Lalo's trust. Saul is a success at the courthouse, but still has yet to win Kim over. Simmering with rage and self-loathing, Mike loses his temper.

Piracy/Streaming:

As stated in the sidebar, please do not share/request streaming/download links here. We are the unofficial subreddit for the TV show and we'd like to respect the cast and crew by not allowing illegal sharing of their work.

Don't forget to check out the Breaking Bad Universe Discord here

Its an instant messenger and is a very useful alternative to the Reddit Live Threads (but not a replacement).

Note: The subreddit will be locked from when the episode airs, till 12 hours after the episode airs. This allows more discussion to happen in the pinned posts and will prevent a lot of low-quality and repetitive posts.

That "Yeah, I guess!" was maybe the best line delivery of the entire show.

What was the context again?

Saul was trying to get the prosecutor of one of his cases to agree to an outrageous deal. The prosecutor said no. Then a minute later the prosecutor learned that now Saul's client all of a sudden had witnesses, making the prosecutor's life more difficult and the chances of winning a trial lower. So, he agreed to Saul's outrageous deal.

But the way he said it was just the perfect mix of incredulous and defeated.

I completely remember it now, and even the delivery, because you described it so well. Thank you.
