* MidlifeCrisisCar: Mike describes Daniel's Hummer as one when he confronts Nacho at his father's upholstery storestore.
* OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyer: Mike explains to Daniel why he shouldn't go in for police questioning.
-->'''Daniel Warmolt:''' Well, if you must know, I was robbed. Somebody broke into my house and stole my property.
-->'''Mike Ehrmantraut:''' Your drugs.
-->'''Daniel Warmolt:''' Yeah, but obviously ‭I didn't tell the cops that. I'm not stupid.
-->'''Mike Ehrmantraut:''' You've already spoken to them?
-->'''Daniel Warmolt:''' A couple of them came by my house. But it's not the drugs that I care about. I mean, I care. It's my baseball cards I need back.
-->'''Mike Ehrmantraut:''' Your baseball cards?
-->'''Daniel Warmolt:'''Yes. I have a very valuable collection of baseball cards, and someone stole them.
-->'''Mike Ehrmantraut:''' I guess I shouldn't be surprised I have to tell you this. But it's probably a bad idea that you willingly talk to the police, being a criminal and all.
-->'''Daniel Warmolt:''' I'm not here as a criminal. I'm here as a crime victim. Just because I occasionally sell some pharmaceuticals, I no longer have a right to protection from crime? And I was very careful when I talked to them. I... they have no idea about my other business.

If you already made your report, why are you here?

They called me. They have a few more questions. They are very dedicated to finding this thief.

Since you're new to this, let me explain it to you. They've invited you on a fishing trip.

What's that? A fishing trip?

Those cops have no interest in helping you get your cards back. You're obviously under suspicion.

There was nothing there for them to see.

I refer you ‭to our previous conversation and this blinking neon sign of a vehicle that says "drug dealer." They suspect you. They will get you in there, pretend to be your friend, lull you into a false sense of security, and then they will sweat you. And you will break.

I don't... I... [Chuckles] I disagree.

Not open for debate. You go home now.

But I have an appointment.

Break it. And if they call you, do not answer the phone.
