Chicanery

    Chicanery scene in Better Call Saul

    From the show Better Call Saul where Chuck had a breakdown accusing Jimmy of being a crooked lawyer in an effort to prove he is not crazy.

    The scene is iconic because its the culmination of of Chuck’s jealousy and disdain towards his brother Jimmy shown to everyone.

    I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-

      LIGHTNING BOLTS SHOOT FROM MY FINGERTIPS!

        Ha, you're sorry? You're sorry? You killed my brother, and you say you're sorry? Let me tell you something. The job offer, it didn't upset me, it amused me. Wooo, big job at the illustrious HHM. A chance to play at the palace. Ooh Little old me? You have no idea what's going on. You're a teensie tiny man in a teensie weensie little bubble. Ohhh don't you fucking "Oh Jimmy" me. You look down on me? you pity me? walk away. That's right Howard. You know why I didn't take the job? Because it's too SMALL. I don't care about it. It's nothing to me. It's a bacterium. I travel in worlds you can't even imagine. You can't conceive of what im capable of. I'm so far beyond you. I'm like a god in human clothing. Lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!

        Saul Badman

          Hi I'm Saul Badman. Did you know that you didn't have rights? The Constitution says you don't. And so do I. I believe that until proven innocent, every man, woman, and child in this country is guilty. And that's why I don't fight for you, Albuquerque! Better not call Saul. Saul Badman, not an attorney

          To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Better Call Saul.

            To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Better Call Saul.
            The plot-building is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of cinematography most of the shots will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Saul's hedonistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these shots, to realize that they're not just 5 minutes of Gus dressing himself - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who prefer Breaking Bad truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the character development in Michelle MacLaren's masterpiece of an episode "Nippy," which itself is a cryptic reference to Peck's American children's tale The Adventures of Mabel. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Vince Gilligan's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Kim Wexler feet tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
