Quotes 

• Walter White : You remember what I told you? It's not over until -

  [succumbs to a paroxysm of coughing] 

  Saul Goodman : It's over.

• Saul Goodman : Hey, I'm a civilian. I'm not your lawyer anymore, I'm nobody's lawyer, the fun's over. From here on out, I'm mister low profile. Just another douchebag with a job and three pairs of Dockers. If I'm lucky, three months from now, best case scenario, I'm managing a Cinnabon in Omaha.

• Saul Goodman : You mind if I give you a nickel's worth of advice, just for old time's sake? You're worried about your wife and kids? Don't leave. The way things are right now, some people - not me, mind you - but some people might say you're leaving her high and dry.

  Walter White : Some people would be ignorant on the facts. Some people wouldn't know that as far as the police are concerned, Skyler is a blameless victim.

  [Saul sits back down, waving Walt off] 

  Walter White : No, no, no, go ahead. Get it off your chest. Go on.

  Saul Goodman : The phone call was a smart move, kudos to you. Odds are, it was recorded, it's gonna play great for a jury, it might even buy her a mistrial. In a year and a half! Until then, if they don't have you, they're going after her.

  Walter White : There's no point. She knows nothing.

  Saul Goodman : Well, too bad for her then. She's got nothing to trade. I hate to be a downer here, but there are two DEA agents missing, presumed dead. You think the feds are gonna just let that go because you hit the ejector seat? First thing they're gonna do is they'll RICO your wife and kids out of the house. That condo is gone. Your bank account is frozen. Her picture's probably on TV right now next to yours. Who's gonna hire her?

  Walter White : Money's no problem.

  Saul Goodman : Well, I don't mean to contradict you, but getting it to her? Impossible. The feds are just prayin' that she'll make contact. The Internet, the phones, it's all tapped. Hey, Mike was no dummy. But every time he tried to get his nest egg to his granddaughter, it ended up in Uncle Sam's pockets.

  Walter White : So you propose what?

  Saul Goodman : Stay. Face the music. Hey, I mean how much time do you got left? You walk in with your head held high, you'll be the John Dillinger of the Metropolitan Detention Center. How bad is that? And you bring a barrel full of drug money? Maybe that soothes some troubled waters. Maybe they let your family stay in the house. After all, the house predates the criminal enterprise...

  Walter White : God, you think I WANT to run? This is the last thing that I want! This, this changes nothing. What I do, I do for my family. My money goes to my children. Not just this barrel, all of it! I'm going to kill Jack and his entire crew. And I'm going to take back what is mine and give it to my children and then AND ONLY THEN am I through. Do you understand?

  [door to the basement opens] 

  Ed : Everything good?

  Saul Goodman : Define "good."
