TV show quotes
Gustavo, cheer up, man. Gustavo, I'm not angry. I had to spank you. But what choice did I have? Look, once every 20 years you forget your place. There's no place for emotion in this. You of all people should understand. Business is business.
[Gus has just offed Don Eladio and the other cartel capos with poisoned tequila, and is beginning to suffer from the effects of the poison. The dialogue is in Spanish.]
Don Eladio is dead! His capos are dead! You have no one left to fight for! Fill your pockets and leave in peace... OR FIGHT ME AND DIE!
You did well down here. And you also proved a point. I think you can run the lab by yourself now, don't you?
Let Mr. White go. Pay him off or fire him. Don't kill him.
You know that won't work.
Then you got a problem.
I'll tell you what this is about Mr. Beneke: This is about you and me doing our best to keep Huell happy.
Huell? Who's Huell?
This is Huell. [points] Huell, you happy?
Reasonably.
What would make you unhappy?
This little motherfucker not doing what he's told.
And if you were to become unhappy, Mr. Beneke wouldn't care for that?
I'm gonna say "no".
Well, there you have it! Let's go find your checkbook.
Hello, Hector. [presents Hector with Don Eladio's necklace] All of them, Hector. Don Eladio, Don Paco, Cesar, Reynaldo, Ortuno, Cisco, and Luis. Escalara. All dead. As is your grandson, Joaquin. Do you know who killed Joaquin? Would you like to see? [turns Hector to Jesse] This young man. Do you remember him? That young man shot Joaquin to death while I made my escape. I believe you have met him before. It was just you and Joaquin. He was the only family you had left. Now the Salamanca name dies with you. Will you look at me now? Look at me, Hector. Look at me.
[Walter is abducted by Gus and his men and taken to the middle of the desert]
You are done. Fired. Do not show your face at the laundry again. Stay away from Pinkman. Do not go near him...ever. Are you listening to me?
Or else you'll do what?
What did you say?
Stay away from Pinkman... or else you'll do... what? Kill me? If you could kill me, I'd already be dead. But you can't. You can't kill me because Jesse wouldn't cook for you if you did. That's it, isn't it? [coughs] No matter how hard you try to turn him against me, to screw with his head, so that he would hate my guts... and he still won't let you do it.
For now. But he'll come around. In the meantime, there's the matter of your brother-in-law. He is a problem you promised to resolve. You have failed. Now it's left to me to deal with him.
You can't.
If you try to interfere, this becomes a much simpler matter. I will kill your wife. I will kill your son. [hauntingly whispering] I will kill your infant daughter.
[panicking] Saul! This man we spoke of before, this, this person that you said could, could disappear me, give me a whole new life, and make sure I'm never found?
Yeah?
I need him! I need this man now! Saul, Gus is gonna murder my whole family.
Oh, Christ...
Saul! Now, Saul!
Yeah, yeah! [hurries over to a locked safe.] You understand there's no coming back from this? You're gonna get new Socials and new identities. You can't contact your friends or relatives ever again.
Alright! Yes, I understand!
How are you gonna sell this to that wife of yours... and your teenage son?
I have got no choice.
You're wanted by some pretty scary individuals, not to mention the law. You're a high-risk client. You're gonna need the deluxe service. It's gonna cost you.
How much?
The last quote I got on the deluxe was 125 grand. But you've got four people to vanish. It's gonna be at least half a million. And he accepts cash only.
I've got the money, now come on! Please!
Here!
[Saul hands Walter a business card. Walter hurriedly grabs it and reads it.]
What?! This... this is a vacuum cleaner repair company!
What'd you expect, Hadji's Quick Vanish?!
Where is it?! Where's the rest?!
Wha–?
The money, Skyler! Where is the rest? Skyler? WHERE IS THE MONEY?!
[pause] I gave it to Ted.
[incredulous] What? You did what?
Walt, I'm... I had to. For us, the family. I swear, Walt...
You gave our money to Beneke?!
Walt, please. Please, just hear me out. Please...!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
[Walter collapses crying, then breaks out in manic, psychotic laughter, as Skyler backs away to answer the phone]
You really expect me to say, "Okay, Walt, sure! Just stay here and..." No. There's gotta be another way.
There isn't. There was... but now there isn't.
Walt... How long till you're safe? Til you can work this out?
Oh, Skyler...
No.
Skyler—
No.
I have lived under the threat of death for a year now...
No.
...and because of that, I've made choices.
Walt, I—
Listen to me. I alone should suffer the consequences of those choices, no one else. And those consequences... they're coming. No more prolonging the inevitable.
[Gomez is searching the laundry. Jesse and Tyrus are stuck in the underground lab and Jesse is on the phone with Gus]
Do you know what is happening upstairs?
I have a pretty good idea.
This is all a result of your former partner. Do you understand now? Do you see why this can't continue?
You know, I get it, the guy is a complete and total dick, but I can't. I'm not signing off, okay? Like I said, if something... final... happens to Mr. White, we're going to have a problem. So what're you gonna do?
There will be an appropriate response.
[Jesse walks in to Saul's office]
Take a break, H.T. Let's go.
You're going to stop calling me that or I'm gonna hang you by your tie.
Yeah, yeah, stop showing off for the client. Honey Tits! I say it's endearing.
So, what's so important?
Well, they're here. The end times, kid. End times.
What's that mean, and why the hell did you drag me down here for?
You want your money, don't ya? I assume that you do.
What, that couldn't wait?
Y'ever hear the expression, "a fart in the wind," kid? Well, inside of an hour, that's gonna be me, okay? I'm hitting the road, I'm gone, I am out of here.
What? For, like, good?
For as long as it takes. I don't like my heat so hot, if you catch my drift.
I'm not catching, like, anything you're saying. And what the hell is your problem?
You haven't talked to your partner, have you?
No, not since last night. Today, he didn't show up to work and the DEA just happened to like, raid us. [Saul looks at him] Yeah, some coincidence, huh?
Yeah, I don't know about that. All I know is, when he tells me that your employer took him out in the desert and threaten to murder his entire family, I shut up and take notice...
Wait, what?
...because hey, after all, what am I, if not family?
What are you–What are you talking about? When did that happen?!
I–I don't know. Forget it. I–I mean, he exaggerates, right? He does that. Hey, listen, do me a favor: W-would you put in a good word for me with Fring? I mean, j–just for old times' sake. I can't afford to butter the wrong bread here.
I don't know what you're thinking coming here. Ah, Christ, what does it matter? Everything, it's all coming to an end. Do you even know what's happening? The full scope of what's happening? They took me out to the desert, they put a hood over my head and drove me out into the desert on my knees. They threatened my family, and not just Hank. My wife, my children... It's just a matter of time now. I was able to protect them for now, but... Gus is gonna make his move and... and I don't know... I don't know when or how. All I know is it's gonna happen. And I'm powerless to stop it.
[Jesse is pointing a gun at Walter, accusing him of poisoning Andrea's son, Brock]
Jesse, why? Why in God's name would I poison a child?
To get back at me! Because I'm helping Gus and this is your way of ripping my heart out before you're dead and gone! Just admit it! Admit what you did! ADMIT IT!
I DID NOT DO THIS!
SHUT UP! [pushes Walter down] STOP LYING!
I'm not, I'm not lying, Jesse, listen to me, listen to me, what would I have to gain, what possible... possible... Who... Who would... Oh, my God... [starts laughing]
Hey. Stop laughing. STOP LAUGHING!
I have been waiting... I've been waiting all day, waiting for Gus to send one of his men to kill me, and it's you. Who do you know who's okay with using children, Jesse, who do you know? Who's allowed children to be murdered, hm? Gus! He has been ten steps ahead of me at every turn and now the one thing that he needed to finally get rid of me is your consent, and boy he's got that now, he's got it. And not only does he have that, but he manipulated you into pulling the trigger for him.
But only you and I knew about the ricin!
No! You don't even believe that. Gus has cameras everywhere, please. Listen to yourself. No, he's known everything all along. Where were you today? In the lab? And you don't think it's possible that Tyrus lifted the cigarette out of your locker? C'mon! Don't you see? You are the last piece of the puzzle. You are everything that he's wanted. You're his cook now. You're the cook and you have proven you can run a lab without me, and now that cook has reason to kill me. Think about it! It's brilliant! So go ahead, if you think that I am capable of doing this, then go... [grabs Jesse's wrist and puts the gun on his own forehead] ...put a bullet in my head and kill me right now.
I'll do it.
DO IT! Do it.
I'll do it!
Do it. Do it.
[Jesse does not pull the trigger. He turns to leave]
Where are you going?
I'm gonna find the son of a bitch and I'm gonna kill him.
No, don't, he'll see you coming. You'll die before you get anywhere near him.
I don't care.
Jesse, Jesse, just get in your car, just go, just drive.
No. I'm going to do this one way or another, Mr. White.
Then let me help.
[Saul Goodman interrupts an interrogation between Jesse and two officers]
Oh, look at this! Isn't this cozy? [to Jesse] What did you tell them?
I told them they were a couple of dicks.
He's a wordsmith. Well, detectives, it's been a pleasure. Now, up you go. Make like you've got manners. Make like you respect the rule of law. Au revoir, auf Wiederesehen, hasta luego, get the hell out! Buh-bye! That's it, pick it up. Follow your partner. And one, two. Thank you! [to Jesse, once the officers leave the interrogation room] Christ. You two... All I can say is if I ever get anal polyps, I’ll know what to name them.
You gonna get me out of here?
No. Not even if I could. You know, the FBI's going to show up on this ricin thing, and then you're in it for the duration. You know, you're a lot safer in here. They just tried to get your partner in his own home.
Jesus. Is he okay?
Well, he's okay like a fruit fly's okay. We're all on the clock here, and thanks for that, by the way. You two want to go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country. But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?
[Hector is angered when he sees Walter in front of him.]
I know you despise me and I know how much you want to see me dead. But I'm willing to bet there's a man that you hate even more. I'm offering you an opportunity for revenge.
