"Foundation?"

Lalo gives a baffled snort. A foundation does sound like the kind of pointless thing the Saul in Lalo's imagination would want though. At least in Lalo's mind, Saul can be annoyingly goody-goody at times, for a scumbag.

"Sure, man. Whatever you say." Lalo frowns though. He thinks about Hector, alone in the nursing home, with a condition no doctors — as far as Lalo's been told, anyway — could truly cure.

He's leaned back in his chair, and gives Saul a listless half-shrug.

"Gotta say, Mr. Goodman, seems to me you're way off-base about the doctors. If you ask me" — and Saul definitely didn't, but since when has that ever stopped Lalo before? — "there are some things no doctor can fix."

He strokes his moustache thoughtfully. "Maybe if there was a way to prevent slipping on the ice in the first place. In a sense, right? Then maybe..." He puts his hand down.

"Ah, but sometimes there isn't, is there?" He makes a face, raising his eyebrows. "Sometimes the ice is just inevitable." As far as Lalo is aware, anyway, it's not like he could do anything to prevent his Tío's stroke.
