Better Call Saul: Kim Wexler’s most unforgettable quotes, ranked

Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of the popular show, Breaking Bad, premiered in 2015 and depicted the life of Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman before the events of Breaking Bad. The six-season series mainly focused on how Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill, a con artist, became Saul Goodman, a defense attorney.

While showing his transformation and how he formed connections with the drug cartel, Better Call Saul also brought back a few characters from Breaking Bad, and also introduced new characters that played a big part in McGill’s life. One of those characters is Rhea Seehorn’s Kim Wexler, an intelligent lawyer who helps Odenkirk’s Jimmy.

Seehorn’s Wexler was an uptight person who took her job too seriously and was used to cleaning up McGill’s mess. However, in the later seasons, Wexler shows her darker side and starts joining McGill’s diabolical schemes after getting over her initial reluctance. Seehorn’s Wexler is known for her sharp remarks that could shut even Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill up, which she does in the series a few times. But it's not just Jimmy who has faced Wexler’s tough remarks. In this article, let’s look at 10 memorable quotes from Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul.

10) "You're Gonna Call Yourself 'Saul Goodman?'" (Season 5, Episode 1)

In the Better Call Saul episode titled Magic Man, Odenkirk’s Jimmy decides to go by the name of Saul Goodman, the name he uses for his cellphone business. He informs Kim about it. That’s when she utters this dialogue.

Jimmy appears confident about using the name for his law business too, as, according to him, all the scammers buying the cellphones would definitely be in trouble for their activities, and it would be easy for them to call Saul Goodman, as they are familiar with the name rather than Jimmy McGill. Kim seems apprehensive about his plan as he has only just gotten back into practising law and already has a dubious plan to move ahead. However, for the time being, Kim lets him go on with his plan.

To which Kim replies with this quote, informing them that winning a case is not the actual task, but getting the best possible outcome for their clients was the motive, and she had already delayed their arrest in the case.

However, the Kettlemans aren’t ready to hear about the plea deal or give up the money. They fire her on the spot.

Howard tells her he wanted to inform Jimmy what he thinks and that he didn’t want to hurt him.

Kim asks what evidence he has, to blame Jimmy for forgery. To this, Chuck replies that he knows his brother well and that's why he knows it was done by him.

Kim blames him in return, saying he works under lantern light, squinting his eyes. It could also be his own mistake, and now he wants to accuse his brother of plotting against him. Kim tells him he made a mistake, but Chuck still remains adamant that it was Jimmy who did it all. Kim then says the above line to Chuck, letting him know that whatever Jimmy is today, is because of him. She tells him that Jimmy idolizes him, but has never received affection or support from him. Hence, whatever is wrong with Jimmy is because of Chuck.
