From Season 3, Episode 9: "Fall"
He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

I love how Howard was introduced as a spoiled kid, but over time we realized he was the steady hand of the firm. He wasn't the best lawyer, but a good leader.
-
On a rewatch of the whole series you realize just how much Howard had to put up with while trying to keep HHM running.
-
My Grandma is the female lawyer in the beginning, she said Patrick Fabian (Howard) was the nicest and most charming man she’s worked with.
-
This wasn't about the firm. It was all about Chuck not wanting to get babysat. Howard made the right call for him to retire.
-
He had a good thing going! He had friends, a good career, the respect of his peers. He had everything he could ever want, and it all ran like clockwork. He could've just kept quiet and retire gracefully. It was perfect. But, no, Chuck just had to blow it up. Him and his pride and his ego! He just had to be the man. If he'd kept quiet and knew his place, he'd probably be all fine right now!
-
"Chuck, there's more to life than this". But for Chuck, there wasn't. He had no hobbies, no friends, no family, nothing. There was no Chuck outside of his work.
-
Howards face at 3:38 says so much about him as a character. You can see he isn't doing this out of spite. He genuinely cares for Chuck and knows the firm is safest when it isn't in his power. But Chucks pride and ego has blinded him in seeing how far he has fallen and ironically because never changes, he loses the firm, Howard as his friend, his remaining sanity, and ultimately his life.
-
Do you know what’s more bloodsucking than a lawyer? An insurance company for lawyers.
-
"It's in the transcripts😢😢😢" -Saul Goodman
-
3:57 "I don't think we're alike at all mr. Mcgill"
-
the real villain of the middle of this show is insurance companies
-
Michael Mckean is just an excellent actor, I mean look at 3:32, he is saying " IM BETTER" but his facial expressions are the contrary, it's very difficult to acting something like physical pain like chuck was feeling.
-
“I can’t be partners with someone whose judgment I don’t trust.” Almost exactly what Gus said to Walt on their first meeting.
-
Unfortunately being a lawyer is all that Chuck had to live for, he’s got no family nor friends
-
Ah, I had forgotten how this discussion ended. So later, Howard gets a letter from Chuck…and Howard assumes it’s because Chuck had time to consider it that retirement was probably for the best. …and it’s the complete opposite; a declaration of war that will destroy the firm in the process. Howard wanted to talk this through peaceably; and Chuck behaved like a self-entitled tyrant…storming out & going to the most extreme option immediately.
-
3:57 This is the moment when Howard became Gus Fring.
-
Howard is right that there is more to life then just being Lawyer if only Chuck could see that but no he cared to much about being great Lawyer then just enjoying life like everyone else does. Chuck was complete workaholic.
-
This really was the moment I began to see Howard in a completely new light. Though not perfect, he was definitely the "good guy" all along. Howard is to Better Call Saul what Hank is to Breaking Bad. You see them in a certain light, but as the series progresses, you realize you were wrong in your original assessment. And like Hank, Howard's death was tragic.
-
Insurance did not cover Walt's treatment. Insurance raised Chuck's professional liability premiums. The true villains are not the Salamancas, Gus, Chuck or Walt, it's the damn insurance industry.
-
Patrick Fabian's portrayal of Howard is incredible. Howard is always stuck in the middle, trying to please everyone while the world crumbles around him...All because of the reappearance of "Slippin' Jimmy"...
