another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

What the hell is Chuck's problem?

Jeeez, either they set up an electric winch to help pull the one guy up, or...

You don't just pull someone up a cliff one-armed by the fingers no matter how many times it happens in movies. Jimmy would have gone right off the edge before the other guy lifted an inch.

My dad texted me that he saw a winch.

Thanks again thread. I wasn't around for 97% of the Breaking Bad goodness, but I'm glad I can be here for Better Call Saul thread.

Also, I'm glad Jimmy got some backbone and told Nacho, "Look, I went above and beyond, was only worried about the kids, and I got you out of jail to boot so back off!" Shows that he's tough too.

Hand Row posted:

Makes sense since the guy kept saying took you long enough, plus the opening 2 man con.

They made it painfully clear it was a setup in case the audience didn't get it. The guy hanging said "took you long enough" and then they quickly shook hands.

I just love that space blanket, it just makes the scene.

I only figured out it was a con when they shook hands after the 'rescue'. I love how Hamelin is totally correct but still comes off as a grade A rear end in a top hat.

So I'm still having trouble understanding what happened with the Kettlemans. They wouldn't hire Jimmy, so why is he writing up invoices for the money as though they did?

I guess he's cooking books to make it look like he earned 30K out of the blue, but are we supposed to think the receipts are for the Kettlemans, or what?

Well, Nacho was his client as far as everyone else is concerned, so he can claim Nacho gave him all that money.

Poor Chuck. He must be really paranoid. You could tell he was in pain, but he wanted to see that newspaper so bad he just couldn't wait. Now the neighbor lady thinks you're insane you are.

Man, the Kettlemans are just absolute pieces of poo poo. I really hope they get found super guilty later in the season or something.

And every scene with Chuck just depresses the Hell out of me. Poor dude is absolutely off his rocker. But the space blanket totally made the last scene. And trying to frantically put down the dollar.

Never, ever watch previews or trailers. I learned this lesson for the final time after I watched Interstellar after avoiding all trailers, then I went and watched the trailers and saw major spoilers in one of them.

I thought he was also trying to justify it to himself: it's totally not a bribe if he can come up with work-related explanations for the money.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The guy they were scamming gave Saul 580 bucks (+ the original wallet) to even things out. They're ahead 580 bucks. Not a huge shakedown, but better than nothing if you're scraping by. They're just smarter versions of the skateboarding guys in the pilot.

The con is that he gives Saul some money out of his own pocket to make up for the difference between the value of the (fake) watch and the value of the bait cash, IIRC

Aug 21, 2010
Okay, I didn't pick up on the $580 being his own cash and not from the wallet.

hailthefish
Oct 24, 2010

I'm pretty sure that's what it was. He says "You take the cash and I keep the watch" and Saul points out there's only 1000 of cash and that's a 3000 watch and that's when he starts counting out money.

Jimmy even said it was just beer money.

I'm guessing the slipping in the winter takes care of most of the bills, with smaller cons the rest of the year to keep in beer and pot money.
