• [Mick, armed with a baseball bat, discovers Louis has broken into his house] 

  Louis Roulet : [sitting casually in Mick's home office]  If you're wondering how I got in, I'm in real estate, so if I want to get into a friend's house...

  Mick Haller : No, we're not friends. You're my client. And I'm your lawyer.

  Louis Roulet : My lawyer. See, that's exactly what I wanted to remind you of. I'm about to go on trial, and yet I couldn't reach you. Now I find out where you were all day. Heard you tell Maggie.

  Mick Haller : You shit.

  Louis Roulet : You went to see Jesus Martinez. And I know what you talked about: Donna Renteria. You're right, Mick. I killed her. There. No reason I shouldn't tell my own lawyer since it's all confidential. Attorney-client privilege. Isn't that what you told me?

  Mick Haller : It's time for you to go, Louis.

  Louis Roulet : Alright.

  [He sits up, finishes his drink, and stands up. He notices a framed picture of Mick & his daughter Hayley on Mick's desk] 

  Louis Roulet : [walks out into the living room]  That's a cute picture of your daughter Hayley. She's very pretty. She's got soccer practice tomorrow, right?

  Mick Haller : [following Louis]  Don't.

  Louis Roulet : [pretending to be confused]  Don't what?

  Mick Haller : [gets in Louis' face]  You think you're the first client to threaten me and my family? Huh?

  Louis Roulet : All I said was she's pretty.

  Mick Haller : Are you scared, Louis? Because where you are right now, you're in a very dangerous place.

  [He opens the front door and Louis leaves] 

• Mick Haller : [sitting on Maggie's front porch as Louis approaches him]  Hello, Louis. My family's here.

  Louis Roulet : I know.

  Mick Haller : You bring your knife? My gun?

  Louis Roulet : Maybe.

  Mick Haller : Good.

  [pulls his new gun out of his coat pocket] 

  Mick Haller : 'Cause I brought this. You've got one chance to turn around and leave.

  Louis Roulet : [stepping closer]  And then what? You gonna keep coming back every night? Every day? Or just try to get me sent up to San Quentin like Jesus Martinez?

  Mick Haller : No. I'm not quitting until Martinez is free and you're convicted of murder. And when that needle goes in your arm, that will be me.

  [nods] 

  Louis Roulet : [as a commuter train passes by in the background]  Well, why don't you just shoot me right now?

  Mick Haller : I don't think I'll have to.

  [looks out towards the street] 

  Louis Roulet : [turns around]  Hey!

  [Eddie Vogel and his biker gang pull up and start vandalizing Louis' car with baseball bats] 

  Louis Roulet : That's my car!

  [a biker rides up from behind and hits Louis with a baseball bat, knocking him to the sidewalk] 

  Biker : It's Louis' car, man!

  [the bikers continue vandalizing Louis' car as Mick gets up and walks to the street] 

  Biker : Come on, now. Get him up. Get up!

  [another biker grabs Louis and drags him out into the middle of the street] 

  Mick Haller : Hospital, not the morgue.

  [Eddie gives Mick a two-finger salute as his posse beats up Louis and Mick walks away]
