Throughout BB/BCS that has always been Mikes way of none verbally tell someone that he disapproves of something & would actually resolve the situation differently, or is disgusted by someone/something. He too bites his lips & looks away as well when Tuco asked for his wallet, for hitting his car in Better Call Saul. And does the same thing when Kai, one of the german workers called Werner Ziegler weak, and that he understands why Mike would have killed him. Or when Walt tells Mike about his plan to murder Gus in the bar. You know you've reached peak television when there are subtle, hidden details & nuances scattered all around those 2 shows. And you get rewarded for picking up on things you might have not even noticed on your initial watch & discover certain things after the 2nd or 3rd revision.

Give this scene; he is, literally, in the middle of a police station since he's not right next to an exit. It's semantics, of course, but it's definitely one of the least offensive uses of literally, I'd say the worst offender is using "literally" as a hyperbolic way of saying figuratively.
