Quotes 

• Jimmy McGill : This is the land of the free, and the home of the lawsuit.

• Parks Supervisor : You're full of shit. The waiver clearly states...

  Jimmy McGill : That waiver's gonna make Swiss cheese look solid, and in a personal lawsuit, it's a fart in the wind.

• Parks Supervisor : You're never going to win that.

  Jimmy McGill : Maybe, maybe not. In order to find out, we gotta do some math. Let's see, a lawyer's gonna cost you about 90 bucks an hour, you're looking at 8 to 12 months litigation, minimum.

  Parks Supervisor : I'll represent myself.

  Jimmy McGill : Great. Bring it on. You got a car? Got a house? A pension? Kiss it all goodbye. Look, out here you may be king douche-nozzle, but in court, you are little people. Look, the judge and I, we'll gladly spend the next five years in a courtroom, but for you, it's expensive. It's very, very expensive. It's *third mortgage* expensive. So, I'm offering you a simple choice: you can go to your wife, explain to her you're about to lose your job, your pension, whatever pinhole of a reputation at the bowling alley on Glow Ball Sundays, or you let my friend here visit his sick daughter in the hospital and you can let me rest my back on this sacred, now litter free New Mexico soil. Oh, and we keep our hours.

  Parks Supervisor : Fine... asshole.

  Jimmy McGill : [entering a dark room]  Let there be light.

  Marco : And then there was light.

  [turns on his flashlight] 

  Marco : Geez. Will you look at this. That's where your mom used to work. Right back there, doin' the books.

  Jimmy McGill : Yeah, whatever.

• Marco : It's a crying shame he lost this place.

  Jimmy McGill : He never should have bought it in the first place. My dad didn't have it in him.

  Marco : What do you mean? Your folks worked so hard.

  Jimmy McGill : Yeah, they worked hard. They worked a lot of hours for a lot of years, for nothing.

  Marco : I don't know, Jimmy. A lot of customers, everybody liked him.

  Jimmy McGill : Everybody liked him because he was a soft touch, you know? Every deadbeat in the neighbourhood owed him money. You come in here with a sob story, you leave with a pat on the back and a gallon of milk. He could have made it work. He could have sold beer and cigarettes to the kids in Mary-Margaret's, but oh no, not him. He was never gonna do what he had to do.

• Jimmy McGill : My back hurts like hell and... people suck.
