• Jimmy McGill : Hey Cliff, for what it's worth: I think you're a good guy.

  Clifford Main : For what it's worth I think you're an asshole.

• Clifford Main : You win.

  Jimmy McGill : What do I win?

  Clifford Main : You're fired.

  Jimmy McGill : What? Cliff, if this is about the bagpipes...

  Clifford Main : It's not about the bagpipes. Well, of course it's the bagpipes. It's the bagpipes and it's the not-flushing and this - this optical migraine you call a business suit. It's about... it's about you keeping your bonus. That's what this is about. Been brushing up on your contract law, haven't you? You want out of here, clearly, but you can't just up and quit and expect to keep your bonus. And if I fire you for cause like I should have done for the TV commercial, again no bonus. However, if I fire you not for cause but for being an all-around jackass, yeah - hurray for you.

  Jimmy McGill : If you think there's been some malfeasance here...

  Clifford Main : Oh, save it. I could fight you on this but you're not worth my time. I'd rather just have you gone.

  Jimmy McGill : I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll just, uh, pack up.

  Clifford Main : First do me the favor of not treating me like a fool for once. Tell me how exactly did I mistreat you? What did I do to deserve this kind of behavior? We gave you opportunities, encouraged you to excel. We got you a car, an apartment. Hell, that cocobolo desk. Do you see a desk like that in here? You never gave this a chance. Why?

  Jimmy McGill : I tried to make it work. Really, I - I did. I'm just a square peg.

  Clifford Main : If you knew that, why did you take the job?

  Jimmy McGill : I'm sorry. How much was the desk?

  Clifford Main : Seven-thousand dollars.

  Jimmy McGill : I'll write you a check.

  Clifford Main : Fine, for whatever good that does. Take your desk and get out.

  Jimmy McGill : Hey, Cliff, for what it's worth, I think you're a good guy.

  Clifford Main : For what it's worth, I think you're an asshole.

• Jimmy McGill : I've been trying to be the person someone else wants me to be for... I don't know how long.

• Jimmy McGill : I don't need you... I want you.

  Kim Wexler : You've got me... just not as a law partner.

• Kim Wexler : If we're gonna be law partners, I need to know one thing. What kind of lawyer are you gonna be? I don't mean what kind of law are you going to practice. I mean... are you gonna play it straight or are you gonna... be colorful?

  Jimmy McGill : I'm gonna play it straight. Right down the line. I'm gonna dot every "i" and I'm gonna cross every...

  Jimmy McGill : ... There's no point in me doing this if I can't be myself.

• Clifford Main : Excuse me, can I have everyone's attention please? Everyone can hear me? Good. Frankly, this is not a conversation I ever thought I would have in my professional career. But it's been brought to my attention that we have an ongoing situation in the washroom. Someone is not flushing. Once is an accident, maybe even twice. Three times, nah, it's a pattern.

  Erin Brill : And we're not talking about a number one.

  Clifford Main : Yes, thank you, Erin. Now I'm not here to shame anyone, nor do I even want to know who did it. But...

  Saul Goodman : Uh, Cliff, it was me.

  Clifford Main : Jimmy, I just said I didn't want to know!

  Saul Goodman : Hey, we need the water. I read somewhere the Santa Fe Watershed is down two full inches this year. Every time you flush a toilet, you waste a gallon of water. A gallon! What could be greener than this?

  Clifford Main : They're low-flow toilets, Jimmy! From now on, flush!

  Saul Goodman : That's... good, good thinking.
