Quotes 

• Mike Ehrmantraut : The lesson is, if you're gonna be a criminal, do your homework.

  Price : Wait, I-I'm not a bad guy, I don...

  Mike Ehrmantraut : I didn't say you're a bad guy, I said that you're a criminal.

  Price : What's the difference?

  Mike Ehrmantraut : I've known good criminals and bad cops, bad priests, honorable thieves-you can be on one side of the law or the other, but if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again, but you took something that wasn't yours and you sold it for a profit. You're now a criminal; good one, bad one-that's up to you.

• Sobchak : You been doing this long? I just assume we're all heavy hitters. And it makes sense. The vet recommends the best of the best. Dealing with some of these ethnic types, blood tends to run a little hotter. That's just science. Physiology. There's historical precedent. Know what I'm saying? So, what you packing?

  Mike Ehrmantraut : A pimento.

  Sobchak : Sorry, what?

  Mike Ehrmantraut : Pimento sandwich.

  Sobchak : That's funny. Pimento. No, I mean, what are you carrying? You know, the piece? What's the make?

  Mike Ehrmantraut : Pimento is a cheese. They call it the caviar of the south.

• Daniel 'Pryce' Wormald : I wonder how this is supposed to work. I mean, who goes first? Do I hand over the pills first? Or do they give me the money and then I hand over the pills? I mean, I guess it makes sense if we just exchanged at the same time, right? I mean, that's fair. Maybe we just count to three.

  Mike Ehrmantraut : Probably the less talk, the better.

• Mike Ehrmantraut : I've known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests. Honorable thieves. You can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word.
