- Walter H. White: [during a family meeting about Walt's cancer treatment, during a tense fight amongst the family] Alright, I've got the talking pillow now... Okay?
- [sits down with tears in his eyes]
- Walter H. White: Look, we all in this room, we love each other. We want what's best for each other and I know that, I am very thankful for that. What I want... what I want, what I need... is a choice
- Skyler White: What does that mean?
- Walter H. White: [with tears in his eyes, very emotional] ... sometimes I feel like I never actually make, any of my own... choices. I mean, my entire life it just seems I never... had a real say about any of it. This last one, cancer, all I have left is how I choose to approach this.
- Skyler White: [calmly] Well make the right choice, you are not the only one it affects. What about your son? Don't you want to see your daughter grow up? I just...
- Walter H. White: [with tears in his eyes, very emotional] Of course I do, Skyler. You've read the statistics sheet, these doctors talking about surviving, one year, two years, like it's the only thing that matters. But what good is it to survive if I'm too sick to work, to enjoy a meal, to make love. For what time I have left, I want to live in my own house, I want to sleep in my own bed. I don't want to choke down 40 or 50 pills every single day, and lose my hair, lie around, too tired to get up, and so nauseated that I can't even move my head. You cleaning up after me. Me... me some um... some dead man, some artifically alive, just marking time... No. And that's how you would remember me. That's the worst part. So... that is my thought process, Skyler... I'm sorry, it's just I choose not to do it.
- Badger: Hey dude, are these bullet holes?
- Jesse Pinkman: Ah, no man, those are for like um, ya know, ah ventilation.
- Badger: Whoo. Nice setup huh? Man.
- Jesse Pinkman: This is nothing man, I used to have like twice as much glassware, till my um dumb-ass ex-partner drove us into a ditch and wrecked most of it.
- Badger: Big-ass beaker huh?
- Jesse Pinkman: Ah, wait, wait, wait no that's yeah that's a, a boiling flask. This is a beaker. Here's a Griffin beaker, here's a ah volumetric beaker. Here's ah, an Erlenmeyer flask. Um, ya got...
- Badger: Wow, you really know your shit.
- Jesse Pinkman: It's just basic chemistry, yo.
- Badger: You are a genius, bro. This kankenstein is unreal. When we get back I'm gonna burn that dollar bill 'case we are gonna make some mad dough.
- Jesse Pinkman: It's not right.
- Badger: What do you mean, it's not right?
- Jesse Pinkman: It's... cloudy, it's not supposed to be cloudy OK. That last time it was glass.
- Badger: So what? Cloudy, not cloudy, it looks good enough to me.
- Jesse Pinkman: Good enough...
- [tosses batch into the desert]
- Badger: Wait, wait. Yo, what are you doing? Ahhh. What are you out of your mind? I totally would have smoked that.
- Jesse Pinkman: Look, it's not for you it's for our customers. They're going to demand a certain standard.
- Badger: What? What... what are you? What?
- Jesse Pinkman: We'll just do it again... until we get it right.
- Walter H. White: What the hell did you say to Elliot?
- Skyler White: What?
- Walter H. White: You told him about the cancer didn't you? Didn't you? I can't believe it.
- Skyler White: OK, we we're talking. He asked how you were doing and I am sorry but I don't have the best poker face these days where that's concerned. He knew something was wrong with you and he pressed me.
- Walter H. White: He pressed you, come on.
- Skyler White: Walt, when it came right down to it, I didn't know what else to do but tell him the truth.
- Walter H. White: The truth? Well how about you just said 'He's fine' huh? You think maybe you could have just have said that? 'He's fine' and then it would have been done.
- Skyler White: I don't like the way you're talking to me.
- Walter H. White: I don't like the way you talk about my private affairs.
- Skyler White: Oh.
- Walter H. White: To people who are not even in our lives anymore.
- Skyler White: What exactly did he say to you?
- Walter H. White: He offered me a job.
- Skyler White: What?
- Walter H. White: Yes. Kinda like some fig leaf, ya know. Some face-saving bullshit that allowed me to generously accept his charity and then when I turned that down he flat out offered to pay for my treatment, which is exactly what you expected him to do didn't you?
- Skyler White: Walt.
- Walter H. White: Didn't you?
- Skyler White: No.
- Walter H. White: Come on.
- Skyler White: I did not put him up. OK, what did you say? Walt?
- Walter H. White: What do you think I said?
- Skyler White: Why? Walt?
- Skyler White: [During a family meeting, discussing Walt's treatment for cancer] I don't want him to die at all! Thats the whole point of this! So either help or leave!
- Walter H. White: These doctors, talking about "surviving". One year, two years, like it's the only thing that matters. But what good is to just survive when I'm too sick to work? To enjoy a meal? To make love?
- [long pause]
- Walter H. White: For what time I have left, I wanna live in my own house. I wanna sleep in my own bed. I don't wanna choke down thirty or forty pills and lose my hair, an lie around, too tired to get up, and so nauseated that I can't even move my head.
- [looks at skyler]
- Walter H. White: You cleaning up after me.
- [starting to cry]
- Walter H. White: Me, a... some dead man, some artificially alive... just marking time.
- [to everyone]
- Walter H. White: That's how you'd remember me, that's the worst part. So that, is my thought process Skyler. I'm sorry. It's just... I choose not to do it.
- [last lines]
- Jesse Pinkman: [seeing Walter at his house] Yo!
- [he makes a non-verbal "what are you doing here?" gesture]
- Walter H. White: Wanna cook?
- Walter White, Jr.: Um, excuse me, hey, um... we forgot our IDs, and we were wondering if you could do us a favor and buy us a six-pack?
- Off Duty Cop: You know, what you're asking is illegal.
- Walter White, Jr.: Um... no, it's not.
- Off Duty Cop: [flashing his badge] Yeah, it is.
- Walter White, Jr.: [his friends run away] Oh, shit.
