So the purpose of selling the phones on the street...


...was to up his phone sales at the store? Since no one was coming in there, he'd go to them?

Think he'll get back at the 3 thugs who took the cash?

i think those 3 thugs are gone and out of his head now

Ha Ha Ha Ha. Guess again there, Sparky!

I have a feeling he was charging more than the phones were really worth.

reply

by going to the street, and selling to street people for cash, he increases the privacy value of the phones, reaches his target market directly.

probably doing it for the money, for the fun (he's a street guy anyway), and to make a network for his scams & law practice when that comes back on-line.

saul is leaving the corporate establishment world behind for good. so, perhaps, is kim.

reply

Yep...this is how i saw it

reply

I don't think Jimmy did it for the money..... or to impress his boss.... or to network with street thugs.

Jimmy did it because he loves to sell.

It is what he does best. He is a salesman/conman at heart and is happiest when he talks people into things.

Imagine how successful he could have been if he sold real estate or was a stock broker. But then it would be an entirely different show, and not as exciting.

reply

that's true too. but people often do things for more than a single reason.

its a good point though, because it looks like all the jobs he was going for were sales. or
his carny-like approach to the law.

a con man is nothing if not a salesman :)

reply

He really just wanted a reason to put on that sweet track suit.

reply

That track suit rocked.

reply

Ah, i like the idea of establishing a network. Thanks.

I have a feeling he will get back at them. Maybe he'll sell more to the biker gang and casually let it drop that he was mugged by those 3 and let them do the rest.

reply

I suspect Jimmy will call the vet, make an appointment with his new partner in crime that fills soda machines by day and steals Hummels by night, and ask a favor.

Those two seem to have established a mutual respect for one another.

Markdown..... it seems you were right about Jimmy getting back at the thugs.

reply

Ugh damn it!!!! I haven't watched yet lol

reply

Love final scene and who he uses for intimidation, ha

reply

I loved that too but I was really hoping for Bill Burr to make an appearance

reply

Who did he use? I did not recognize the face.

reply

[spoiler]One was Saul's bodyguard from Breaking Bad Huell who he also used last season to slip the phone battery into Chuck's pocket. The other was Man Mountain who was in the episode with Mike where he was a bodyguard, when they were in a car parking garage and he ran away after Mike took down Sobchak. [/spoiler]

Yeah, I have a feeling that Jimmy will get back at those punks. You don't mess with Jimmy.

To make money of course. People weren't coming to the store, so he went to the people.

And it’s what people he went to. I like the point made above that he’s setting up future clientele.
