Rejected Bad: The Saul Goodman Show

The following is a rejected script from an early season of Breaking Bad.

INT. COMMUNITY TV CHANNEL OFFICE - DAY

SAUL GOODMAN, a slick and cunning lawyer, sits across from GARY BROWN, the owner of the local community TV channel. Various TV equipment and memorabilia adorn the small office.

Saul shifts through a pile of paperwork, highlighting key points on a proposal for his own show.

SAUL:  (leaning forward)  Alright, Gary, let me break it down for you. "The Saul Goodman Show" is going to be a game-changer. Picture this: comedy, drama, legal advice, all rolled into one. A show about me, playing myself!

Gary leans back, doubtful but intrigued by Saul's enthusiasm.

GARY:  (with a sigh)  Saul, I don't know. We're a community TV channel. We're looking for something accessible, relatable. How can you convince our viewers you're worth watching?

Saul wears a mischievous smirk as he leans back, twirling a pen between his fingers.

SAUL:  I'm glad you asked, my friend. It's all about the money, Gary. Let me introduce you to a little thing called advertising.

Saul pulls out a brochure featuring the AMERICAN STRING CHEESE COMPANY logo.

SAUL (CONT'D):  (introducing the brochure)  Behold, the American String Cheese Company. They have a huge marketing budget just waiting to be spent. And guess who has connections to some of their executives?

Gary's interest is piqued.

GARY:  (sceptical)  You know the people at the American String Cheese Company?

SAUL:  (grinning)  Let's just say, I've rubbed elbows with some influential types. But it's not just about connections. We'll craft a mutually beneficial deal. We'll weave product placements throughout the show, capturing an untapped market for them right here in Albuquerque. And in return, they'll sponsor our show with some serious advertising dollars.

Gary's eyes widen, realising the potential.

GARY:  You're saying we can secure a corporate sponsor to fund this show?

Saul nods, confidently.

SAUL:  The American String Cheese Company wants to reach an audience who loves entertainment, but also cheese-loving legal enthusiasts. By targeting them on "The Saul Goodman Show," they'll see impressive returns on their investments. Plus, we can create some hilarious, memorable moments to make their cheese brand household famous!

Gary looks genuinely impressed now.

GARY:  (hesitant but intrigued)  Alright, Saul. I'll admit, you're making a solid argument. But where do we go from here?

Saul leans in, seizing the opportunity.

SAUL:  We'll put together a proposal that showcases the potential of "The Saul Goodman Show," highlighting the impact the American String Cheese Company can have. Once they see the dollar signs, they'll be itching to sign on. We'll have our funding, our show, and our success, Gary.

Gary smiles, unable to resist Saul's charm and ambition.

GARY:  Alright, Saul. Let's make it happen. But remember, you're playing yourself. This show has to be something special. We're counting on you.

Saul rises from his chair, extending his hand confidently.

SAUL:  You won't be disappointed, Gary. I have a feeling "The Saul Goodman Show" is going to become the talk of Albuquerque.

They shake hands, sealing the deal and beginning their journey into the wild and unpredictable world of local community TV.

FADE OUT.

DETROIT – Detroit city leaders promised to fix 1,300 broken fire hydrants within a month after a Local 4 investigation revealed the extent of the problem.

The city approved a $7 million contract to repair hydrants and pay for crews to do the work. At first, the city said Local 4 could follow the crews out and show them making repairs. However, after the Local 4 story aired, Karen Drew was told that officials didn’t like the way the story turned out and would not work with Local 4 in getting video of crews fixing the broken hydrants.

This story began when a firefighter reached out to Local 4 and reported that broken fire hydrants in Detroit were a big issue. Local 4 found out that around 1,300 were broken and residents were upset.

One month ago, Local 4 spoke to Gary Brown, the Director of Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD), which is in charge of maintaining hydrants. Brown said that the city had a goal of fixing all of the broken fire hydrants in 30 days.

An insider within the fire department shared a record with Local 4 that showed which hydrants were still broken. As of Wednesday, more than 600 fire hydrants are still listed as inoperable.

Some of those fire hydrants are pouring water into the streets. A hydrant off Rosa Parks Boulevard was running for days, according to a source. The city said the hydrant was in their work order system, and they were fixing around 80 each day.

Karen Drew asked, “But this is in an area with residents. I just don’t understand how it can be broken. The water is coming out in the street for four days -- that is not a priority?” Karen Drew was willing to do an on-camera interview if they changed their minds, but officials only provided a statement.

Brown and Charles Simms, Interim Executive Fire Commissioner of the Detroit Fire Department, issued the following joint statement:

“The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) maintains fire hydrants while the Detroit Fire Department (DFD) inspects the hydrants annually and uses them for fire suppression. Detroit has more density of fire hydrants than any other major Midwest city. Our counterparts have fire hydrants 500-feet apart, while in Detroit hydrants are 300-feet apart. DFD rigs have 1,500 feet of fire hose. Therefore, if a hydrant is out of service for repair, they can quickly hook up to the next available hydrant. Firefighters are able to see available hydrants using a mobile-friendly dashboard.

“It is normal for us to see a slight increase in the number of hydrants that need repair - many of which are still operational - after DFD conducts its winter inspections. This is a process that allows us to know where a non-functioning hydrant may be located so it can be repaired BEFORE it is needed by firefighters. Numbers change daily but what we know is that 96% of our nearly 30,000 hydrants are operational today, still giving Detroiters a greater density of hydrants than other midwestern city. At this time last year, approximately 7% of our hydrants were in need of repair and by summer it was down to less than 2%.

“DWSD starts with priority one repairs which are in critical areas such as near hospitals, nursing homes and schools, as well as clusters of hydrants in need of repair to make sure there is a working hydrant available for emergencies. For more than six years, DWSD has performed the winter repairs and by spring/summer less than 2% of the hydrants are inoperable.

“It is misleading to the public to not include these facts in news stories. This process happens annually due to inspections and cold weather, when the number of hydrants in need of repair increases. DWSD makes fire hydrant maintenance a priority, much like we do water main breaks that place our residents and businesses temporarily without water service. The public can be assured that the City of Detroit has a collaborative process to address hydrants in need of repair all year round.

“Since the week of Jan. 23, DWSD crews and our contractor have been repairing 350 fire hydrants per week and will be complete in two weeks with the current list of inoperable hydrants.”

What about the fire hydrant pouring water into the street?

But what about that fire hydrant on the city’s west side that was spewing water into the street?

“So it’s OK to just let this water go into the street and have people pay for it?” Karen Drew asked.

“Well, people don’t pay for it as they are charged for the water -- they are charged based on the meter usage at their house,” Brown said.

“I understand that, but at the end of the day, taking water and spewing it into the street is a waste,” Drew said.

The city would not budge. They continued to say the hydrant was not a priority. After Drew hung up, officials did ask for the address of the hydrant. Officials sent a crew to shut the water off, but they did not fix the hydrant.

“We’re in a constant worry about it because of how lacking our water department is with repairs. They absolutely have affected us fighting a fire because when we go to a bad hydrant, we then have to go to the next hydrant, which is approximately 500 feet away, so that takes up time to get there, and there have been instances of three or four bad hydrants in a row, and that further delays us. Fire doubles in size approximately every 35 to 45 seconds, so time does matter,” a Detroit firefighter said.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan’s spokesperson John Roach released the following statement:

”In December, the Mayor sat down with Gary Brown and told him he wanted a plan to speed up fire hydrant repairs. Director Brown immediately assigned DWSD staff to begin repairs supported by a $7 million plan to supplement those efforts with outside contractors implemented in January.

“The plan would complete the repairs by the end of February. At the start of each Wednesday cabinet meeting, Director Brown begins by reporting to the Mayor the number of fire hydrant repairs made the previous week. In yesterday’s report, Director Brown indicated 350 repairs had been made last week, fewer than 700 hydrant repairs are remaining, and he expects those to be repaired in the next two weeks.

“He indicated that of 30,000 fire hydrants in the city, more than 29,000 are operable today. We expect the entire backlog to be completed in the next two weeks and from then going forward, we expect hydrants to be repaired timely on an ongoing basis.”

WFA Theory: The Identity of Gary

So in episode 110 of Wayne Family Adventures, the character of 'Gary' is introduced as someone Steph and Cass attempt to blame for the lost of a drone.

However I was re-reading some of WFA and in Episode 48 we're introduced to another character who I think kinda looks like Gary.

They look similar in terms of hair colour and style, and it would also not be the only instance of WFA introducing reoccurring original characters (Such as Damian's school friend, or the trio Tim Drake's kidnappers).

Both Gary and Cass' friend have similar hair, skin tones, and light freckles. And if he’s Cass’ friend it would also better explain why this random dude just happened to get involved in their mission and also why they know and refer to him by name as they do.

What does this mean? Probably very little, I just thought it was a possible neat little detail. Come back tomorrow; same bat time, same bat place, as I overanalyse another minor detail which few if any people probably care about.

Because why not.
