Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When we first see Saul in the first episode of "Better Call Saul", where was he working?

Answer: A Cinnabon in Omaha

"Better Call Saul" started with a black and white scene from the future: As Saul had told Walter White at the end of "Breaking Bad", he was living out his best case scenario, working as the manager at a Cinnabon in Omaha. Wearing a name tag that said "Gene", he was barely recognizable, balding with a droopy mustache.

He was later shown at home, watching a VHS tape of his glory days - his old Albuquerque "Better Call Saul" commercials, while drinking a Scotch and Drambuie.
2. In the first episode of "Better Call Saul", we meet the 2002 version of Jimmy McGill while he was in a restroom, practicing his opening statement in a public defense case. Who were his clients?

Answer: Three teenagers

After the brief flash to the future, the episode opened in 2002 with a scene in a courtroom, where the judge was waiting for Jimmy McGill to make his opening statement. But Jimmy was in the restroom, practicing his lines, and the judge sent the bailiff to fetch him (must not have been the first time). Jimmy made an eloquent speech defending his clients as being "knuckleheads" for what they did but dismissing it as a youthful "lapse of judgment", before the prosecutor played a video showing the boys apparently breaking into a morgue and desecrating a body. Jimmy lost the case and later complained to the court cashier that he was only paid for one defendant, not three, to which she pointed out that he shouldn't have tried them together.
3. As Jimmy McGill was leaving the courthouse in the first episode of "Better Call Saul", why did the parking attendant tell him to pay three dollars?

Answer: He didn't have enough stickers on his validation ticket.

The attendant informed Jimmy that he had five stickers on his validation ticket, which was one short and that Jimmy could either pay three dollars or go back inside and get another sticker. Jimmy parked his car to go get his additional sticker while shouting to anyone who would listen that the attendant was the "employee of the month". If you've not seen "Breaking Bad", I won't spoil it for you, but suffice it to say, you'll see that parking lot attendant again.
4. In the first episode of "Better Call Saul", Jimmy McGill met with Craig and Betsy Kettleman to try to sign them up as clients. Why did Jimmy believe that Craig needed a lawyer?

Answer: Money was missing at his job.

Jimmy received a call from Betsy Kettleman as he was leaving the courthouse, and he answered it pretending to be his secretary. Craig Kettleman was the Bernalillo County Treasurer, and the Treasurer's office was being investigated for the disappearance of $1.6 million. Jimmy told the Kettlemans that he believed it was merely a discrepancy, but that Craig should be proactive in getting a lawyer. Craig was ready to sign the letter of engagement that Jimmy provided, but to Jimmy's dismay, Betsy said that they should sleep on it first before making a decision.
5. While Jimmy was driving after meeting with the Kettlemans in the first episode of "Better Call Saul", he hit someone. Who was the victim?

Answer: A skateboarder

Jimmy was on the phone, trying to order a flower arrangement for the Kettlemans, when a skateboarder smashed onto his windshield. His brother, also a skateboarder, had filmed the accident and threatened to call the police. The injured skateboarder said that Jimmy could make it right by paying $500 to which Jimmy responded by kicking the skateboarder in his supposedly broken leg. Jimmy told them they made a poor choice of victim and that his car would only be worth $500 "if there was a $300 hooker sitting in it".

After Jimmy started to calculate what the skateboarders owed him for his damaged windshield, they took off.
6. In the first episode of "Better Call Saul", Jimmy McGill told potential clients that his office was being painted. Where was his office really located?

Answer: In the back of a beauty salon

Jimmy had a room in the back of a Vietnamese beauty salon, through the laundry room, that featured a paper sign reading "James M. McGill Esq. A Law Corporation". He greeted the employees in Vietnamese when he entered the salon and seemed to be on friendly terms with the staff, but when he went to get a cup of water, the owner told him that the "cucumber water for customer only". His sad little office featured wood paneling and a couch but shared space with the water heater.
7. Jimmy visited the law offices of Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill in the first episode of "Better Call Saul" after receiving something from them in the mail. What was it?

Answer: A $26,000 check

Jimmy's brother, Chuck, was a partner in the firm of Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. Jimmy tore the check up and deposited the pieces on the table in their conference room after quoting "Network": "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature... and I won't have it".

He was told by Howard Hamlin that the check was for Chuck but was made out to Jimmy because he didn't think that Chuck couldn't make his way to the bank. Jimmy told Howard that one third of the firm belonged to Chuck and estimated the amount was $17 million.

As Jimmy was leaving the firm, he saw Howard talking with the Kettlemans.
8. When Jimmy McGill visited his brother Chuck's house in the first episode of "Better Call Saul", what did he put in the mailbox?

Answer: Cell phone, key fob and watch

Jimmy's brother Chuck was on a sabbatical from the law firm in which he was a partner due to some sort of illness involving a phobia of electromagnetism. Not only did he make visitors leave the items in the mailbox, he had them "ground" themselves before entering his home. Jimmy advised Chuck that he needed to cash out of the law firm because he was broke, and Jimmy couldn't afford to take care of him. Chuck told Jimmy that he couldn't do that because the firm might need to shut down to pay him out and all the people would lose their jobs. Jimmy found out that Howard Hamlin had visited Chuck ("he put his cell phone in the mailbox, he grounded himself?") and gave Chuck a weekly stipend of $857 to make ends meet until he was ready to return to work. Hamlin also told Chuck that Jimmy should change the name of his firm so that people didn't think he was a part of Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. "That's my name, I was born with it", Jimmy laments.
9. In the first episode of "Better Call Saul", Jimmy contracted with a pair of young con artists to pull a scam on Betsy Kettleman. Who became the mistaken victim of their con?

Answer: An elderly Latina

Jimmy found the skateboarders who had tried to con him and told them the story of "Slippin' Jimmy" who would clear $8k while staging falls during the winter in Cicero, Illinois. He convinced them that they could make $2000 by staging an accident on Betsy Kettleman where Jimmy would show up at the scene and gain her business by mediating the incident. Jimmy hoped that by helping her with this situation, he would get her husband as a client.

But the skateboarders pulled their scam on the wrong vehicle, and the driver took off. Jimmy told the skateboarders that made it a felony so there would be more money and told them to wait for him to arrive.

But the skateboarders decided they didn't need him so they went after the driver themselves. When the driver got out of her car at her home, she wasn't Betsy Kettleman but a small, elderly Latina.
10. The first episode of "Better Call Saul" ended when Jimmy went to the house where he believed his con artist co-conspirators were located. What happened when the door was opened?

Answer: A gun was pointed at him

Jimmy was driving through the neighborhood looking for the skateboarders when he spotted the skateboards in the yard. He knocked on the door and identified himself as "an officer of the court". When door opened, a gun was pointed at him and a hand yanked him inside.

Then a man looked outside to make sure all was clear. "Breaking Bad" fans knew him as drug dealer Tuco Salamanca, and his appearance in the show had been kept a secret; he wasn't featured in the previews.
