No, no. No!

No! Goddamn it! No.

Come on.

Hey! Hey!

Somebody!

Hey! Hey!

Man : The problem with it is because they believe he's worth...

Man 2: The problem of the national football...

The football from a player...

That took place. Those were attitudes...

I mean, there are plenty of rules in play...

Man 1: You can go.

Kim: Ah. Here he is.

Howard: Great. Jimmy, right on time. Good to see you.

Hello, Howard.

- Hey. Hi. - James McGill, Clifford main.

Just Jimmy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Clifford.

Likewise. We know all about your work on sandpiper.

Well, it's a group effort.

I mean, the folks at hhm are just knocking it out of the park.

- Well, the case wouldn't exist without you. - —absolutely.

Once you get him on your team, you'll know why I call him Charlie hustle.

Jimmy, these are my associates, Brian archuleta and Erin brill.

- Nice to meet you both. - Great to meet you.

I hate to do this...

But could I borrow Ms. Wexler for a moment?

- If you will excuse us... - Ahem. Pardon me.

- What's going on? - I just... ahem. Listen, here's the thing.

If I take this job, does that mean the two of us...?

I mean...

- Does it mean...? - What? What?

What the hell is this?

If I take this job today with Davis & main...

Does that mean that you and me...?

Is this... is this gonna happen?

Jimmy.

One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

- Nothing at all? - No.

Of course not, why would it?

Sorry about that.

Listen, I just wanna say thank you, sincerely, for your interest in me.

It's an honour to be considered, but at this time... at this time...

I'm gonna have to take myself out of the running. Thanks.

- Thank you, Howard. - Uh...

Jimmy?

Mike: Well, that was quick.

- No charge. - Help me out here.

Did I dream it or did I have $1,600,000 on my desk in cash?

No one on god's green earth knew we had it.

We could've split it fifty-fifty.

We could've gone home with $800,000 each...

Tax free.

Your point being?

Why didn't we?

I remember you saying something about doing the right thing.

You wanna know why I didn't take that money?

Is that what you're asking?

Yeah, that's what I'm asking.

Me personally, I was hired to do a job...

I did it, that's as far as it goes.

Yeah, well...

I know what stopped me.

And you know what? It's never stopping me again.

Chao cac co, ladies.

Mrs. Nguyen, it's a beautiful day out, you should get out once in a while.

Throw a frisbee, have some fun.

I have a business to run.

No, the business is running you.

Listen to me. You'll thank me later.

Cucumber water for customer only.

Hey, it's me.

Jesus. Hello?

Hello?

It's me. I got a new car. You like it?

We're not taking that to the meet.

How are we gonna get there?

I'll drive my car.

- —Why? - This business requires restraint.

That is the opposite of restraint.

But I like it.

I mean, I'm proud of it.

Good, then you be proud of it on your own time.

But not with me, I'm not getting in that.

Okay, then don't.

Honestly, you don't really do anything.

I've been paying you the salary of three people...

To just stand behind me.

You know? And these last few deals, this nacho fella, he's been coming alone.

I mean, if he doesn't need backup men, then, I mean, why do I need you?

I should just go alone.

I'm throwing... I'm throwing away money.

Just tossing it away into the trash.

Look, you do whatever you want, but I'm advising you...

Do not go to that meet without someone watching your back.

Yeah, well, of course you're gonna say that.

I mean, you don't wanna be out of this easy-peasy job.

Well, I'm sorry, but this is the gravy train...

And it's leaving the station right now.

So last chance.

Seriously, last chance.

I'm gonna count to, say, 10, and then I'm...

All right, then, your services are no longer needed.

No old guy?

What, did he break a hip or something?

I know, right?

Yeah, no, we... we parted ways.

Yeah, saw things differently, so...

You know how it is.

This is interesting.

Oh, yeah. You like it?

- Can I take a look? - Oh, be my guest.

Get in, check it out.

- Impressive. - Thank you.

Get in, feel the leather.

Yeah, it's a h2.

Brand-new off the line.

Slimmer than the h1, but longer, more height.

Yeah, it's a honey. V8 engine, 325 horsepower.

Tri-zone climate controls, so you can have a girl in a bikini...

And another in a parka, and they're both gonna be comfortable. Ha-ha.

You're riding around with two girls in your SUV.

- You'd be really comfortable, huh? - Oh, yeah. Yes.

I'm gonna count this quick.

Do your thing, make sure it's right.

Okey-dokey, we are good.

Same as before.

Still factory sealed.

And as always, you're welcome to count them.

I trust you.

Great, thank you.

See you next time.

Hello. Yes.

No, sorry.

Yes, this is James McGill, but I'm no longer a lawyer, so...

That's right, not a lawyer. Bye.

Kim: So this is what a midlife crisis looks like?

Not midlife crisis.

Clarity. Midlife clarity.

Clarity? Huh.

Clearly explain to me why you walked out on the best job opportunity of your life.

Get in the pool and I'll tell you.

- Get in the pool? - Yeah, come on.

Pop in the gift shop and buy a bathing suit. Get a one-piece, nothing fancy.

The water is perfect, it's 82 degrees.

You can order a drink, and you gotta try this crab dip.

- Why are you acting like this? - I'm not acting like anything.

I just finally decided to be me.

Everything okay, Mr. Cumpston? Would you like another drink?

I'm good with this.

I'll tell you what, Mr. Cumpston.

If you really wanna talk, I'll be in the bar. Not for long.

Hey, Rolando, cheque.

What do you... What do you mean, quit the law?

I quit it, simple as that.

Oh, well, thanks for explaining, Jimmy...

- It's super clear now. - Hey, buddy?

Is that a misprint right there? It's gotta be, right?

- The zafiro afiejo? - Yeah.

- That's correct, actually, believe it or not. - Holy shit, a $50 shot of Tequila?

- Is it worth it? - Apparently.

It's kind of a personal choice thing.

Well, I can't die without trying a $50 shot of Tequila, so two.

Dos, neat, and we can charge that to the room, can't we?

No, we can't. We...

I am paying.

And he will be having a shot of your well brand...

And I'll have a glass of your house red.

We have a cabernet, a Pinot and a syrah.

Whatever, dealer's choice.

- Something with alcohol. - You got it.

Jimmy.

Did something happen in Cicero?

Jimmy: Why did something have to happen?

Kim: When I talked to you about Davis & main, you were ready to take the job.

Now you're back, and you're suddenly quitting the law?

Cheating hotels out of expensive liquor.

Wearing a weird pinkie ring.

What, are you in the mafia now?

Asking if we have a future.
