[Walter and Jesse are stranded without water in their RV in the middle of the desert]
I have this coming.
What?
I have it coming. I deserve this.
Snap out of it. All right, first off, everything you did, you did for your family. Right?
All I ever managed to do was worry and disappoint them. And lie. Oh God, the lies...I can't even...can't even keep them straight in my head anymore...
You know what? Screw this. I'm walking. You can come or not. Where's my other shoe?
Jesse. Jesse... Your body is running dangerously low on electrolytes. Sodium, potassium, calcium...and when they're gone, your brain ceases to communicate with the muscles. Your lungs stop breathing. Your heart stops pumping. You go marching out there, and within an hour, you will be dead.
You need to cut out all your loser crybaby crap right now and think of something scientific!
[laughs weakly] Something... Something scientific, right...
Like, come on! Man, you're smart! All right, you made poison out of beans, yo! Look, we've got an entire lab right here. How about you take some of these chemicals and mix up some... some rocket fuel, that way we could just send up a signal flare. Or you make some kind of robot to get us help... or a homing device... or building a battery... [Walt's eyes snap open] Or what if we just take some stuff off of the RV and build it into something completely different? You know, like a... like a dune buggy! And that way we could just dune buggy our... [Walt sits up] What? Hey... what is it? What?
Do you... do you have any money? Change, I mean, coins?
Yeah, yeah, I got a bunch of 'em!
Okay... [gets up]
Yes!
Gather them. And–and–and washers, and nuts and bolts and screws, and whatever little pieces of metal we can think of that is galvanized–it has to be galvanized–or–or solid zinc.
[heads outside] Solid zinc.
And–and–and bring me... brake pads! The front wheels should have discs. Take them off and bring them to me.
All right, all right...
[kicks a toolbox toward Jesse] Brake pads!
What are we building?
You said it yourself.
A robot?
...A battery.
