Was sad to see Kim making copies.
"I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that" lyrics seemed meaningful after prior scenes.
Was pretty shocking to see how cold Jimmy was to Kim while signing papers.
Ball knocking over styrofoam pillar was funny to me.
Love seeing an elderly person take out Jimmy after how he would manipulate them - albeit with a soft touch - during Sandpiper prep.
Jimmy was nervous before Kim came in. Bouncing the ball, checking his reflection, staring over the divorce papers. There's still a part of him that knows what he let get away. The coldness is just an act. The Styrofoam pillar represents that. He's got these giant stone pillars in his office and he hits once with a ball and it falls over. Instead of crashing onto the desk like you'd expect it does nothing. It's fake. A facade, just like Saul. They're very intentional with their symbolism.
Agree with all that. Writers have made it pretty clear how Jimmy tries to bury the hurt, it's the whole basis of the Saul persona.
We saw a cardboard cutout Jimmy thrown in a dumpster as his gold toilet adorned gaudy mansion is emptied out. Facades all coming apart.
I like how the foley artists added a little styrofoam squeak as he repositioned the light as air "stone" pillar, I just had to laugh at how softly it hit the desk, how light it was, and the squeak..
Having said all that, it's still shocking to see how cold Jimmy was. Even knowing WHY he is doing it, it doesn't make it less shocking - we hadn't seen him intentionally try to hurt her. He was getting "uncaring" when he didn't clue her in before the Mesa Verde meeting where he made her look like a fool, but not outright intentionally hurtful. They made both Jimmy and Kim very complex, hard to understand characters.
