you're going to help jesse, right?
I'll do what I can. For better or worse, I'm still his lawyer.
But I won't be breaking him out of holding, if that's what you mean.

everything ok?
[Vague. Maybe she means Steph, maybe she means Saul himself. He can choose.]

Like the thought didn't cross your mind? That was for me as much as it was for you.
Anyway, word choice. "Deal with," like you're some kind of problem that needs fixing. You're not. Neither is he.
But you two both have moments where I'm pretty sure whatever I say just goes in one ear and right out the other. You're stubborn as hell. That's not always a bad thing, but once you've convinced yourself of something—and this really only applies to the negatives, I've noticed—there's no telling you otherwise.
I know you're trying and I know he's trying, too, and I also know there's no easy way to make this better. I get that. And I know it's difficult and I'll stick by both your sides no matter what, but it does sometimes get frustrating, especially when I find myself in a position like this one where I can't do as much as I'd usually be able to and it feels like what I am able to do isn't enough.

Collette's manipulative.
Really.
Really.
1) That's not what I said.
2) Excuse me for being paranoid, but I can't help it if my feathers get all ruffled when a list like that goes up immediately after a mutiny attempt. It was well-intentioned and I love her and her eternally optimistic attempts to boost spirits. The timing, however, is bad.
[And she made Stephanie cry and Jesse go crazy.]
3) Can you lock me up so I have a good excuse to take a very long nap?

I think so. What you just said, yeah, music to my ears. [A pause. It's too bad Gold can't see Saul smiling, but maybe he can hear it.]
However, if I were you, I'd maybe spend a little more time assessing the situation. It sounds great in theory, but there are a lot of people and creatures here, Mr. Gold, from all over the damn place. It might not be as easy as you imagine.

[That's a lot of words, but she reads them all and tries to actual take it all in. He's right, and she wishes they had time to really talk about all this, but.
They don't.]
i love you, and thank you, and i wanna talk about all this when we get a chance, because it's important. not the jesse part, me, i just.
right now it is about jesse, you really need to come see him because he's convinced you and mike are gonna cut him loose and i don't know how much longer i can keep him calm.

Sorry, I —
[Oh.
Well, okay. Hugs are good. He likes hugs. And he was really fucking scared, too, so he returns the hug with the addition of a squeeze and a kiss pressed to her hair.]

What the hell were you doing out fighting zombies?
[It sounds more tired than angry, though.]

[Saul, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of misery.
Though when Gold speaks, you can definitely hear the smile in his tone.]
Well, that's fair. Belle didn't give me your name, thinking I'd expect to swan in and change everything overnight, after all. I do, however, think I can provide some perspective.

Oh, no, of course you didn't say that in as many words. After all, Saul Goodman gets other people to do his dirty manipulative work.
Really? Because I think it's good timing. We've been shown to have almost no leadership and while it may maintain itself well enough when we're all cooperating clearly we're not always cooperating. If the conversation isn't started now when do you think a good time is? A week from now? A month? When we're all dead?
I don't have resources to waste on you. If you want to go lie down, go lie down.

Jesse Pinkman has been arrested for assault of a prisoner and asked for you as his lawyer. You'll be given access to him.
What is his official status with DITR?

Thank you.
He's one of our greeters — Jesse's in charge of the monthly cookie tent.

Are you busy right now? Can we talk?
[And he means talk, not text.]
