Breaking Bad · Season 1, Episode 7

Walter and Hank in “A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal”

[Smoking some illicit Cuban cigars]

It's funny, isn't it? How we draw that line.

Yeah. What line is that?

Well, what's legal, what's illegal. You know, Cuban cigars, alcohol. You know, if we were drinking this in 1930, we'd be breaking the law. Another year, we'd be okay. Who knows what will be legal next year.

You mean like pot?

Yeah. Like pot. Or whatever.

Cocaine? Heroin?

I'm just saying it's arbitrary.

Well, you ought to visit lockup. You hear a lot of guys talking like that. "Hey, man, what you busting me with these 14 bales of ganja? It's all going to be legal next year when Willie Nelson's president." Say it, buddy. It don't only go one way either. I mean, some other stuff is legal that shouldn't be. I mean, frigging meth used to be legal. Used to sell it over every counter at every pharmacy across America. Thank God they came to their senses on that one, huh?
