Marie Schrader quotes from Breaking Bad

Marie

Chemotherapy and marijuana go together like apple pie and Chevrolet.

Marie

Well, which supermarket? Is it like a big one? Like a chain?

Skyler

Marie...

Marie

Don't get me wrong. I think it's just great that he's, y'know, back and he's feeling better. I just, I mean, he...naked. He was naked naked in a supermarket. It wasn't Whole Foods, was it?

Marie

You made one mistake.

Hank

It wasn't one mistake. I've been... unraveling, y'know? I don't sleep at night anymore. I freeze, I freeze up. My chest gets all tight, I can't breathe. Just... I panic. Ever since that Salamanca thing. Tuco Salamanca, if ever a scumbag deserved a bullet between the eyes... It changed me and I can't seem to control it. I try to fight it, but then El Paso. It just got worse. What I did to Pinkman... that's not who I'm supposed to be. All this, everything that's happened, I swear to God, Marie, I think the universe is trying to tell me something and I'm finally ready to listen. I'm just not the man I thought I was. I think I'm done as a cop.

Marie

You can do this, Hank. Come on. It's supposed to hurt. Pain is weakness leaving your body.

Hank

Pain is my foot in your ass, Marie.

Marie

Hey, if you could get your leg up that high, I say go for it.

Marie

I had to go to three different places to get the moisturizer that you liked, but I got that and I got your Shiner Bock and your chips and–I couldn't resist–the complete encyclopedia to fantasy football. Look, it has all the latest rankings.

Hank

[looking at the chips] Marie, I said Cheetos, not Fritos.

Marie

Wait, I—

Hank

I must've said Cheetos like ten times. You need me to write it down for you?

Marie

No, and I don't need you to be mean about it either, Mr. Grumpy.

Hank

Well, I'm just saying, y'know, I said Cheetos. Ch-ch-ch-sound. Virtually impossible to confuse Cheetos with Fritos it seems to me. Where are you going?

Marie

Back to the store, I guess. [throws Hank the fantasy football magazine] Here.

Hank

And the draft is not for two months so this is useless!

Marie

You find something?

Hank

Oh, just this... this guy I'm looking at. You know, everything he buys and eats is organic, fair trade, vegan. [looks at a Los Pollos Hermanos napkin with notes on it found in Gale's apartment] Since when do vegans eat fried chicken?

Marie

We have another big event coming up. Have you thought about what you're going to do? [pause] Walt's birthday.

Marie

Whatever you need, I'm here.

Skyler

Yeah. I–I–I don't think we're going to be doing anything this year.

Marie

What are you talking about? Of-of course we're going to do something. Skyler, he was diagnosed around his birthday, right? So it's been a whole year. Listen, I've had my problems with Walt — why he wouldn't come out of the house when we were all practically begging–whatever, water under the bridge...

Marie

...But at this point, every year is precious. We—What are you doing?

Skyler

I...

Marie

You don't smoke. You haven't smoked since college. You can't be serious! With the baby? And Walt?

Marie

Skyler, you're not smoking around the baby, are you? And you can't smoke here! There's got to be some rule or regulation, I'm sure! You can't force your employees to breathe secondhand smoke! I know for a fact that that is illegal—

Skyler

Marie, shut up.

Marie

What? I'm sorry, but please don't speak to me like that. I am simply saying that—

Skyler

Will you shut up?!

Marie

Hey!

Skyler

Shut the hell up! Shut up! Shut up!

Marie

Skyler—

Skyler

Shut up! Shut up!

Marie

Please stop, I—

Skyler

Shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Marie

Hey!

Skyler

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Marie

Who do you think he's shown this to?

Hank

No one. It's a threat. It's what he will do if I don't back off.

Marie

I think you should show this to Ramey. Just get ahead of it. That video is a bunch of lies, Hank. Anybody who knows you will know—

Hank

$177,000? Hell's he talking about? Marie?

Marie

They told me it was gambling money.

Hank

What was gambling money? Oh, Jesus Christ, Marie. Oh, God, no.

Marie

How was I supposed to know? How was I supposed to know where it really came from?

Hank

Why were they paying for my medical bills? What about my insurance?

Marie

Insurance wouldn't have covered the treatment that you needed, and I... I just wanted the best for you—

Hank

Why didn't you tell me?

Marie

Because I knew that you would refuse it, and without it, you may never have been able to walk again.

Hank

Oh, Christ, Marie. You killed me here. I mean, it's the–that's the last nail. That's the last nail in the coffin.

Marie

What do we do?

Hank

[over the phone] Hey, baby. I got him. Dead to rights.

Marie

You got Walt?

Hank

Yeah. I got him in handcuffs as we speak. Want me to wave to him for you? [waves at Walt, handcuffed in the car] Huh? Well, he's not, uh– he's not feeling too friendly.

Marie

Oh, my God. You did it. Thank God.

Hank

Things are gonna be a little rough for the next couple weeks, but they'll get better. Baby, you okay?

Marie

I'm much better now.

Hank

I gotta go. It may be awhile before I get home. I love you.

Marie

I love you, too.

Walter Jr.

You’re completely out of your mind.

Skyler

It’s the truth.

Marie

It is. Flynn—

Walter Jr.

Then both of you are out of your minds. You’re full of shit, is what you are. Both of you. If–If this is true, then how could you keep this a secret? I mean, why? Why would you go along?

Skyler

I’ll be asking myself that for the rest of my life.

Walter Jr.

So you’re saying all of this time you were lying about this? I mean, so you’re saying... you’re a liar. You... you just admitted it. So were you lying then, or are you lying now? Which lie is it?

Marie

Flynn, honey, your mother is telling you the truth. Right here, right now. Believe it.

Walter Jr.

You know what? This– This is bullshit. This is bullshit. [stands up to try to get his phone] I wanna talk to dad.

Marie

Your dad’s in custody. You won’t be able to talk to him for a while, sweetie.

Walter Jr.

I'm calling Uncle Hank.

Marie

I’ve tried. He’s not answering. Probably because he is in the thick of it with your father. Honey, I know this is a lot to process, Flynn, but if you could just breathe. Just try to breathe and just trust—

Walter Jr.

Really? Really?! Try to breathe?!
