I think Jimmy only mentioned 'partner' in the context of 'most firms receiving this kind of referral would compensate the referer with partnership- i'm only asking for an associate gig.'
Was the rest of the law presented in this episode fairly accurate? I think others have mentioned that the case law Chuck has cited in the past was surprisingly accurate and apposite.
Maybe at the associate level (although Kim isn't a Yale/H-bomb JD), but at the partner level the only thing any firm gives a shit about is bringing in business.
And as Walter White has taught us, people can and do change.
Srsly. Jimmy passed the bar, what the hell does Chuck want. The whole law school industrial complex is a relatively recent phenomenon in American history.
'Jimmy, you're my favorite lawyer. Bye, doggie.'
I've been thinking that comedians are actually naturals for dramatic roles because they are so skilled at swaying people to their point of view and articulating their idiosyncratic way of looking at the world. People like that can draw sympathy from viewers in a way that a stone faced 'dramatic' actor cannot. I…
Isn't that a general truism? 'Comedy is hard, drama is [relatively] easy.'
I adored how Odenkirk's expression changes in that scene. The barely contained disappointment sliding into anger transforming into sadness before distilling into bitter resignation.
Even worse- Jimmy found irregularities that Chuck completely missed when he was cursorily processing forms. In this case, he did a vastly better job than Chuck.
If you can detect the difference between spoken Vietnamese and Korean, you can probably tell the difference between their associated accents in spoken English. For reference, Dong's actor sounds like a third generation korean american who speaks little to no korean attempting to imitate his grandparents.
I like how you extrapolated 'outrage' from a comment about how the producers used a Korean American actor to portray a sterotype of an illegal immigrant Vietnamese American. You must have a child like imagination. Oh, and as 'a member of that minority' does my opinion supersede yours?
I'm always amazed that poets can make any subject sound beautiful, including their disinclination for lowlanders.
The only line that made me laugh in any Austin Powers movie: 'There's two things I can't stand: racism and the Dutch.'
Kind made every line count in that scene. 'Sorry- my roommate needed the pants' is my favorite line in the whole series.
Kayla, did you just give a 'b' grade to an episode that gave us 'pinot noir?' fight me, bro-ette.
That's ok, all Asians are apparently the same to the producers since Dong's actor is clearly Korean American and his line delivery doesn't remotely approximate a Vietnamese accent.
I adored that whole exchange. For some inexplicable reason, my favorite bit was how Ellie Kemper delivered that "Thanks, 'teach'" line. It felt so perfectly 80's, like something out of a capri sun commercial.
Locking up vet pain meds ensures that a recently dog-less Keanu Reeves won't break in to perform self surgery and abscond with a pit bull. Btw, did I mention that 'John Wick' was super stupid?
