Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Everything Nacho did here was to see how much he can take advantage of Wormald, and Mike knows it. I almost guarantee he did short him on purpose just to see if he'd stand his ground or let it slide. Nacho has said he likes scamming criminals, so he's feeling out what he can pull and how good of a target he is. Mike's making it clear that that won't fly while he's there. Ultimately a big blunder by Mike allowing Wormald to go by himself.
Nacho did about 3 tests here. Shorting $20 was to see whether they run tight business or let things slide. Then acting offended when acused of shorting was to see how they diffuse a dispute. Finally, letting the $20 fall on the ground was to see how Pryce reacts to being disrespected. All that being said, you can tell what kind of person Pryce is within 10 seconds of meeting him.

Even if it were intentional, would they really think you actually noticed and were too afraid to mention it? No, because chances are you probably wouldnt fucking notice it when counting over it that quick. They wont respect you less because you let them short you 20$, because they dont even know for sure you noticed such a tiny amount missing. nor is 20$ worth mentioning and potentially dying or ruining a deal over

Had he accepted the short (as he would have without mike) they would continue to short him to the point where they can pretty much name the price without any retaliation or something of the sort.

That's what I was thinking. Nacho needed it to go smoothly but he also maybe got a sense that this guy can be taken advantage of so the missing $20 was definitely a test- not just to see if he was a pushover, also to see how cautious he is. Would he even bother counting or would he see the huge bag of cash, trust that he had been paid in full and happily move on? Would he make the deal now, count the money at home and then next time insist that he get that missing 20? And yes, how would he deal with it if he found out immediately. It's a test to see how thorough, cautious and how firm he is.

The fact that this scenario is reused later on for Nacho getting ahold of the pill capsules is masterful. Everything works towards the greater plot and not a single character or resource goes to waste.
Pryces criminal skills are way under appreciated. He never seems threatening or seems like he has info. He is clearly smart cause he could count 20 missing out of 1000 in seconds and never once does he look scared. Just bumbling and clusmy and nerdy. Never scared.

@@averagejobogio Wait so let me get your logic straight on this one- you're saying he pretends to be out of the loop on purpose so Nacho would test him if he counts the money, and then he counts the money to show him that he isn't? But he still somehow wants Nacho to think he is out of the loop. So you're saying he wants everyone to think he's out of the loop and also that he isn't out of the loop at the same time. And no one would anyway suspect him if Nacho went missing. He has nothing to gain by that. Tuco could kill him if he found out about this side hustle. And even if, let's say some rival gang took him out, no one's going to look at him in that case either because no one other than Nacho and Pryce know about this deal. Did you even watch this show? Or are you just pretending to be smart and insightful about a random clip on the internet to troll real fans of the show? Because Pryce is indeed, in fact, a clueless bumbling idiot. It's not some clever persona that's he's putting on now and in a later scene you see that he's s really smart guy. You'd know that if you watched the show.

Mike is supposed to be a more morally righteous character, as shown by his speech near the end of this video. Selling drugs to Tuco isn't too bad, pretty sure he's just using them to kill Hector, which if that's the case is a pretty good thing to do, Hector is the worst. Selling guns though, who knows what that could result it, it has a high chance of leading to deaths, and might even lead to school shootings. Killing Hector is worth $1500 np, Killing a bunch of students isn't worth 2-15 thousand dollars.

That last bit of the speech by Mike is actually kind of heartbreaking. The idea that you can be an "honest criminal" but "you took something that wasn't yours, and you made a profit. You are now a criminal.". I think it's that last part that means most people stay legit. There is something fundamentally wrong with that, even if you're honest about it.

The "criminal" speech is really interesting to watch. Both actors were great; you can see Mike and Pryce both take into account the true meaning of Mike's words. Mike knows it's no small thing, and is trying to make Pryce very aware of that. Pryce is grappling with his conscience in that one shot, and realizing he doesn't really mind. Great show, can't wait to see the end. Hope Bob is doing ok

I learned a long time ago to beware of the calm, soft-spoken guy in the room. The loud mouths and people causing a scene and freaking out and yelling and screaming are usually not the toughest guys. The quiet guy who stays calm and has nothing to prove is the dangerous one because he knows he can kick everybody else's ass. Mike is that guy.

Frightening how many people can be genuinely sympathetic to the excuses for evil. Mike has redefined 'good' so that his own life won't generally fall outside of it, despite all the abhorrent things he's done. For him, he thinks that can be ignored, as long as what proceeds from it is 'honest', despite that 'honesty' being fraudulent and its meaning elusive (Ultimately illusory), and the whole concept of 'good' he espouses being contradictory.
The "I've known good criminals and bad cops, bad priests and honorable thieves" line rlly hits home

I love how, despite Mike and Nacho being on opposing sides for most of the series, their relationship was always one of respect and courtesy. They had great chemistry together, and their dynamic really sets the stage for what Mike and Jessie would become in the original series.
Love how mike chooses his words very carefully as to keep control but also give nacho the ability to save face and not appear weak. Like with the shorted 20. They did that on purpose to test pryce. Mike called them out and nacho, seeing how tuco is, probably thought trying to be confrontational would help ateer the situation in his favor, but mike knows this trick and is like nope just was an accident moat likely so nobody can claim they were insulted
