Better Call Saul - Season 3 Trivia

1. To whom was Jimmy speaking in episode 3.1 "Mabel" when he said "I get it, wax on, wax off, Mr. Miyagi, 'Karate Kid'"?

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": The Best of Jimmy, Season 3

Answer: Chuck

Jimmy was helping Chuck remove the foil from the walls of Chuck's home, and Chuck wasn't pleased that Jimmy was just ripping the tape off. He told Jimmy to "use a little finesse" and gently roll the tape off, left then right to prevent tearing up the wood. Jimmy made the above quote and was surprised that Chuck had a blank look on his face as if he didn't know what Jimmy was talking about. Later in the season, Jimmy used the same technique to remove the tape from the logo he painted at his office.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": Who Said What in Season 3?

Answer: An Air Force captain

Although it certainly sounds like something Chuck could have said, the quote was made by Air Force Captain Bauer. In the previous season, Jimmy had scammed the captain into letting him film a commercial on the air base, and after the commercial aired, the captain went to see Jimmy. He was offended that Jimmy had lied to him and wanted the commercial taken off the air, but Jimmy refused. Instead Jimmy offered to not "fly jet planes and you stay out of court. Sound good?" Bauer then responded with the above quote.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.10 "Lantern"

Answer: In a tent

The opening scene showed Chuck reading "The Adventures of Mabel" to Jimmy in a makeshift tent in the yard of their house when they were kids. "The Adventures of Mabel" was the book that Jimmy and Chuck discussed in the first episode of the season; Jimmy found the book while he was helping Chuck remove the foil that Chuck had taped to the windows and walls of his home. In the flashback, there was debris scattered in the yard, much like there would be in Chuck's yard at the end of the episode, including a baseball bat, which series co-creator Peter Gould said was the same one that Chuck would use later in the episode, and the Band-aid can that Jimmy kept his special coins in. But the scene mainly focused on the lantern, the alpha and omega of the episode.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.8 "Slip"

Answer: A Band-Aid can with coins in it

Marco asked Jimmy why the coins were there, and Jimmy explained that one time, a customer had paid with a rare quarter, and when Jimmy told his father about the coin, his father tried to find the customer to give it back. When he couldn't find the man, his father wanted to donate it to the church, so Jimmy "made it disappear". Jimmy would then check the cash register every day to see if there were any other valuable coins, and he'd add any that he found to his stash in the ceiling tile. Marco said it was sad that Jimmy's parents lost the store, and Jimmy said that they just weren't cut out for the business. When Marco pointed out that everyone liked Jimmy's dad, Jimmy said "it was because he was a soft touch".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.7 "Expenses"

Answer: Albuquerque Parks Department

Jimmy and the other workers would meet at the Albuquerque Parks Department building where they would board a van that would drive them to their work site. The first site we saw Jimmy working at was under a highway overpass. As the workers were picking up trash, we saw a new deposit dropped from a passing car.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.6 "Off Brand"

Answer: Nacho beat him up.

Hector was sitting at a table behind Nacho, and although he was reading a newspaper, he clearly was keeping an eye and ear on the activities. Domingo explained that one of the guys on his team was new and was spooked when he saw a police car, so he "dumped the stash in the gutter". Nacho asked why Domingo didn't make it up with his own money, and Domingo said that he did - he gave as much as he could. Nacho told him he could make it up next week, but after Domingo left, Hector said to Nacho, "Who works for who?" Nacho closed his eyes because he knew what Hector meant. He went out and dragged Domingo back in and took him back to the kitchen where he beat him up. The incident bothered Nacho; later when he was working at his father's upholstery shop, he was distracted and ran the needle into his finger.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.5 "Chicanery"

Answer: The city had shut off his electricity by mistake.

Jimmy was helping Chuck get ready for dinner with his ex-wife Rebecca, but he advised Chuck to tell her the truth about his illness: "You sure this is the right play? In my experience, the bigger the lie, the harder it can be to dig out". Chuck responded, "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it". When Jimmy arrived at the house with Rebecca, Jimmy played along - he was the one who initially asked why the electricity was out, and Rebecca added that she had the same question. Chuck explained that he was cooking dinner when the power went out. He called the electric company and discovered that his electricity had been accidentally turned off: "The deadbeat at 512 San Cristobal hasn't been paying his bills, and of course, I'm 215". Oh no - transposed numbers! Chuck said that he was almost finished cooking dinner when the power went out so he borrowed camping gear from a neighbor and finished the meal.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.4 "Sabrosito"

Answer: Bobble-head doll

Hector Salamanca went to see Don Eladio to tell him about his new enterprise, an ice cream company located in Michoacan, Mexico. He brought along Ximenez, who was the driver for the company. The enterprise also came with an ice cream shop in Albuquerque which Hector named after Don Eladio - "El Griego Guinador" - the winking Greek. After informing Don Eladio of this, Hector had Ximenez present Don Eladio with a gift which turned out to be a bobble-head doll. It was a bowl of ice cream dressed as a Greek with the name "Sabrosito" written on it. Don Eladio pointed out that it didn't look like him because it was fat.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.3 "Sunk Costs"

Answer: A pair of tennis shoes

As the scene opened, we saw a faded pair of tennis shoes dangling from a cable overhead and a Los Pollos Hermanos truck approaching a stop sign that had apparently been used for target practice. As the truck pulled away from the sign, the frayed laces on the shoes tore, and the shoes plummeted to the ground. It wasn't until later in the episode that we saw why the shoes were there. In that scene, the stop sign had a few less bullet holes in it, and instead of a Los Pollos Hermanos truck, we saw one of Hector Salamanca's ice cream trucks. So this first scene was a view of the future, when Gus Fring had taken over Salamanca's territory.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.2 "Witness"

Answer: Motor Vehicle Division

Well it was mainly Jimmy who hired Francesca; Kim wanted to interview more candidates, but Jimmy jumped the gun and asked Francesca if she could start right away. He had a commercial airing shortly and needed someone to help with the phones. Kim also would have preferred to interview candidates with legal experience. Francesca had seven years experience at the MVD; she said that she learned patience and diplomacy there, but she didn't like the bureaucracy and wanted to work somewhere where she "could make a difference". Francesca was also able to explain why it was called the Motor Vehicle Division as opposed to the Department of Motor Vehicles: "Just like in Arizona, the Motor Vehicles Division is part of the DOT, a division, whereas in most other states, the DMV....is its own entity".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.1 "Mabel"

Answer: The arrest of a shoplifter

Gene didn't just witness the arrest, he contributed to it by pointing out to the officer that the shoplifter was hiding in a photo booth. Gene looked very contrite after doing so, and as the kid was being taken away, Gene yelled out to him: "Say nothing, you understand? Get a lawyer!" Calling attention to himself was probably the last thing Gene wanted to do, but Saul Goodman took charge. When he returned to work after his lunch break, Gene promptly fainted while spreading icing on cinnamon rolls.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": The Best of Jimmy, Season 3

Answer: Francesca

Francesca was the first candidate that Jimmy and Kim interviewed for their receptionist position, and Jimmy jumped the gun by asking her if she could start right away. Kim then spoke to Jimmy in private and told him that she wanted to interview more candidates, particularly as Francesca had no legal experience. Jimmy pointed out that Kim hadn't been able to find a suitable paralegal because she was searching for perfection while bypassing adequate candidates. "So that's the bar here - adequate?" asked Kim. "She's more than adequate", responded Jimmy, adding the above quote.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": Who Said What in Season 3?

Answer: Francesca

Francesca was talking about the logo that Jimmy had painted on the wall in the office. When she arrived for her interview, he asked her if it looked straight, and she responded, "I think there - that side - I think you're a little crooked - the bottom of the 'M' there". Jimmy agreed, "Yeah, a little crooked". Francesca later told Jimmy that she had fixed it. Oh Francesca, you only wish!

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.10 "Lantern"

Answer: Howard bought Chuck out with his personal funds.

When Chuck met with the partners, he pointed out the options: Litigation, buy him out or "put all this unpleasantness behind us and continue on as we have been. I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. And if you agree, I think we can settle all this right now with a simple handshake". Chuck was rather smug, because he knew that the first two options would ruin HHM, so he assumed that Howard would have to accept the third option. As Chuck approached Howard with his hand out, Howard asked everyone to leave the room. When they were alone, Howard said that Chuck had let "personal vendettas turn your focus away from what's best for HHM. You've put your needs first, to our detriment". Howard was upset that when he sympathetically suggested that it might be time for Chuck to retire, Chuck's first response was to sue the firm. Howard then handed Chuck a check for $3 million - "the first of three payments as per the partnership agreement". When Chuck realized that the money was from Howard's own funds, he looked shocked. "You won", said Howard, but in fact, Chuck just realized that he'd actually lost. Howard then took Chuck out to the atrium where everyone had gathered to see Chuck off. Howard announced that Chuck was retiring effective immediately and led everyone in applauding Chuck, but Howard walked off before everyone else was finished applauding. He was done, and so was Chuck.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.9 "Fall"

Answer: Work as a consultant for Madrigal

Gus had arranged for Mike to work as a consultant for Lydia Rodarte-Quayle at Madrigal. As Lydia explained to Mike: "You'll receive a paycheck from Madrigal in the amount of $10,000 a week - I believe at that rate your employment should be paid out in about twenty weeks." Lydia had listed Mike's job as a logistics consultant, but Mike suggested that security consultant would make more sense since he used to be a police officer. Mike was concerned about having his name on the Madrigal books: "Your Madrigal is a German company. One thing I know about Germans is they love a good audit". When he asked if this was how she handled "Fring's other guys", she told him that this was the first time she had done this, but she explained that she handled a budget of around a million dollars a week: "All due respect, Mike, but your money - it's a rounding error". When Mike told her that she was "risking a lot for a drug dealer", Lydia responded, "Drug dealer? If that's all you think he is, you don't know Gustavo Fring".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.8 "Slip"

Answer: A metal detector

At the end of the last episode, Mike had met with Nacho to discuss the latter's plans for doing away with Hector, and when the conversation ended, Mike had said that he would need one more thing from Nacho. We found out this week that it must have been the location where the body of the good Samaritan who had stopped to help Hector's driver was buried. Mike took a metal detector with him and spent quite a bit of time searching the area, first digging up an old metal can, and then digging in several other spots before eventually locating the man's hand with his wedding ring on it. Mike then made an anonymous call to the tribal police to report finding a body while he was out looking for arrowheads with his metal detector; he said he didn't want to give his name because he was trespassing on the land.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.7 "Expenses"

Answer: He was talking on his phone.

While Jimmy was picking up trash under an overpass, he was answering calls for Saul Goodman Productions, and he also was on the phone trying to get his malpractice insurance refunded. When he returned to the van at the end of the shift, the supervisor ("Law and Order: SVU" alum Frank Deal) marked down 30 minutes on his card. The supervisor told him that it was because he was on the phone: "Think of community service as your jail time. No phones allowed in jail". Jimmy argued that he had collected more trash than the others, but it didn't sway the supervisor. When Jimmy said that the supervisor could do better than 30 minutes, the man responded: "I could make it zero". Later when Jimmy had Chinese food delivered for Kim and himself at the office, he only had a dollar for a tip. When the delivery guy questioned "a dollar?", Jimmy used the same line: "We can make it zero".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.6 "Off Brand"

Answer: Pour concrete for a playground

The therapy session was held at a church and perhaps was for people who lost their spouse. Stacey thanked Mike for coming with her and asked if he'd come again, to which he responded with his usual, "We'll see". She then told him that she had volunteered him to pour concrete for a new playground that was being built. She said that they needed footings for the slide and swings. "That's not really my department", Mike said but Stacey reminded him that he had "built a carport when Matty was a kid". Mike didn't remember doing so so she told him that Matty had talked about it many times and that Mike had built it because he didn't like the quotes he was getting. Stacey said that she could get him out of it if he didn't want to do it, but Mike said he'd do it: "Just tell me when and where". Sidenote: Did you recognize Tamara Tunie (Dr. Melinda Warner, the long-time medical examiner on "Law and Order: SVU") as a member of the support group?

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.5 "Chicanery"

Answer: Cell phone

While Chuck and Rebecca were chatting at the table after dinner, Rebecca's cell phone rang. She said it was her conductor and she had to take the call, apologizing profusely to Chuck. Chuck began to have an attack and finally got up and went into the kitchen, however Rebecca followed him, bringing in dishes from the table as she talked on the phone. Jimmy tried to get her out of there but she was focused on her call. Finally it was too much for Chuck, and he grabbed her phone and tossed it across the room. When Rebecca asked him what his problem was, he responded, "It is incredibly bad manners to answer a cell phone in company. It's very rude". Rebecca apologized and said that it was time for her to go. Jimmy tried to get Chuck to tell her the truth, but he wouldn't do it.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.4 "Sabrosito"

Answer: Nacho

It had been a while since we had seen Nacho. In his first appearance this season, Nacho and Arturo stood guard while Hector wandered around in the restaurant, intimidating customers and staff. When Arturo tried to block a customer and her child from leaving, Nacho shook his head at Arturo, and Arturo let them pass. When Gus Fring arrived at the restaurant, Nacho told him that Hector was waiting in his (Gus's) office. "I know where he is", Gus said coldly.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.3 "Sunk Costs"

Answer: Rob another truck

After Mike answered the cell phone that he found in the middle of the road, Gus Fring and several of his cronies met Mike on the deserted road. Fring told Mike that he wanted Hector Salamanca left alive, for now, but that he would be willing to let Mike rob another truck "if you feel so inclined". When Mike said he was done robbing trucks, Fring said that their business was done. Mike asked if Fring would leave him alone - no trackers and no one following him. Fring told him he would as long as Mike was done with Salamanca. As Fring started to walk away, Mike said to him: "You want his trucks hit because you want to disrupt his supply lines. Hector's your competition". When Fring asked him why he asked, Mike responded: "Because I'm not done with Hector Salamanca."

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.2 "Witness"

Answer: Cracker Barrel

Jimmy told her to "be folksy" and "put a little sunshine" in her voice. He also suggested that she mention Cracker Barrel, the home-cooking restaurant chain: "It always helps to mention Cracker Barrel". Francesca was a fast learner, telling the first caller, "It's a hot one out there. I was thinking of going over to Cracker Barrel because they've got such great air conditioning". But the trick didn't work with everyone; when Mike called, Francesca told Jimmy out of the side of her mouth, "This one really don't want to talk about Cracker Barrel". Mike's comment when Jimmy picked up the phone: "Your new assistant's a real pip".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.1 "Mabel"

Answer: A book

The book was called "The Adventures of Mabel", and it belonged to their "Grammy Davenport", who according to Chuck, was a teacher who had read it to her class the same year that the Titanic went down. Jimmy said that he remembered his mother reading it to him, but Chuck quickly corrected him: It was Chuck who read it to Jimmy. "The Adventures of Mabel" is a real book by Harry Thurston Peck; it was first published in 1896 under a pseudonym but reissued in 1912 under the author's real name. "Better Call Saul" co-creator Vince Gilligan stated that his mother had read the book to him when he was a child, so he included the book in the episode as a personal Easter Egg to her.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": Who Said What in Season 3?

Answer: Jimmy's night in jail

After Chuck had Jimmy arrested, Jimmy was booked in the facility where he used to work, and Oakley came to see him once he heard Jimmy was there. Although Oakley teased him a bit, Oakley said he'd do what he could to get Jimmy's appearance time moved up, but Jimmy would still have to spend the night in jail. When they met later, and Oakley asked him how his night in jail went, Jimmy said that he had "caught up with a few old clients". Later when Jimmy tried to get information from Oakley on his (Jimmy's) case, Jimmy brought a hamburger and fries to the impromptu meeting to tempt Oakley. When Oakley reminded Jimmy to eat his burger, Jimmy offered it to Oakley, stating that, "There's too many trans fats". Oakley responded, "Ah but they're the best fats".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.10 "Lantern"

Answer: Nacho's father's upholstery shop

In the last episode, Nacho had warned his father that Hector Salamanca would be paying him a visit, and his father hadn't taken it well; he ordered Nacho out of his house. In this episode, as Nacho walked Hector through the building, explaining how his product would be processed, Hector asked to see "Papi". Nacho's dad was at the front counter and wasn't at all pleased to see Hector. Hector tried to lighten his mood by telling him that they were friends and then placing a few stacks of cash on his counter. Nacho's dad responded by asking Hector to leave. Nacho quickly told his dad not to be disrespectful and quietly reminded him to think of their relatives. Nacho's dad winced, and picked up the money, but Salamanca wasn't convinced. He walked out with Nacho following after him. Nacho told Hector: "He's old-fashioned; he'll come around", but Hector said that he didn't trust Nacho's father and then left.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.9 "Fall"

Answer: Chuck threatened to sue the insurance company.

The insurance company representatives told Howard and Chuck that they were going to double the premiums on all of the practicing attorneys in the firm as a result of Chuck's appearance at the Bar hearing and for other reasons (on which they didn't elaborate), but they mentioned the possibility of extending a rider that would keep premiums at the same rate as long as a "senior management-level partner... would supervise Charles' work, attend court and client meetings with him, review filings..." Howard balked at this option since HHM wouldn't be able to bill the additional hours to their clients. Then Chuck interrupted the discussion, telling the reps that the insurance company would either "do right by us or we will compel you to do so". Howard threw a quick glance at Chuck when he made the comment. One of the insurance reps said that "if you're threatening litigation then I'm afraid this meeting is over", and when Chuck confirmed that he was, they left. After they left, Chuck eagerly began to formulate HHM's plan of action against the insurance company, but Howard didn't agree with Chuck's plan.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.8 "Slip"

Answer: Drumstick

One of the store owners seemed enthusiastic about shooting another commercial, but his brother then said that he had talked to the TV station and found out that it cost less to run the commercials than Jimmy had quoted. Jimmy pointed out that the station was just quoting air-time. When the men said that they would just pay to re-air the commercial that had already been filmed, Jimmy told them that they didn't own it: "It's the real and intellectual property of Saul Goodman Productions". At that point, they told Jimmy that they would just film their own commercial. Jimmy looked briefly distraught, but then he spotted the drumstick on a stand and told his camera guy to turn on the camera and keep it rolling on him. Then Slippin' Jimmy knocked the drumstick onto the floor and slipped on it: "You guys have liability insurance, right?"

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.7 "Expenses"

Answer: Recliners

The customer was Duke City Recliners, and the commercial showed the owner relaxing in one of his chairs. The owner told Jimmy that his wife didn't want him to make the commercial, and he just couldn't afford to make more than one. Jimmy was desperate to sell all of the commercial time and tried to sell him a discounted rate of $500 a commercial if he bought the package, but the man said he couldn't do it unless Jimmy would take credit, which he couldn't. After getting paid for the commercial and paying his assistants, Jimmy was left with $104.95.

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.6 "Off Brand"

Answer: His license was suspended for twelve months.

We first found out the results when Jimmy and Kim were celebrating with a bottle of champagne: "Here's to twelve short months". Later when Howard was at Chuck's home, he told Chuck that "the opinion came in. Jimmy was suspended for twelve months". He also told Chuck that if Jimmy "screws up which we both know is likely, his PPD terminates, and that one year may turn into forever".

From Quiz "Better Call Saul": 3.5 "Chicanery"

Answer: Goldfish

We saw Jimmy sitting in the vet's waiting room, holding a plastic bag of water with a goldfish in it. Beside him was a man with an iguana and a woman with a dog, who gave him an odd look (the woman, not the dog). The vet promptly chewed Jimmy out for not having enough oxygen for the fish: "You're suffocating her!" Jimmy joked about seeing the lipstick when the vet said that the fish was a female which drew an angry response from the vet: "This is a living creature. It's not a piece of furniture. So after this, you take her home. You put her in a big bowl - at least a gallon..." Jimmy responded, "Alright, alrighty Jacques Cousteau, point made". After the fish lesson, Jimmy and the vet got down to business. Jimmy said he was "looking for someone with a light touch. I'm not talking some teenager taking a five-finger discount on string cheese at the stop and shop. I need highly skilled, high end, discreet, a real pro". The vet asked if the person needed to fit in "a tight space". When Jimmy said no, the vet responded that he had "just the guy then".
