The Guy for This - S5-E3

Kim Wexler: I know $5,000 isn't as much as it use to be back in 1974, and...and we do understand how inconvenient this must be. So, as a gesture of goodwill, Mesa Verde has just increased your buy-out to $18,000.
Everett Acker: $18,000?
Kim: That's right.
Everett: Well, nobody's ever explained it to me like that before. $18,000. That's a lot of money. I bet you with that, I could buy a big old mansion and a swimming pool. Do me a favor, will you? I'm gonna spread my legs out, like this, and just to finish it off, why don't you give me a swift kick in the balls?
