Walter and Skyler in “Cornered”

Walter

Skyler, I may have overstated things earlier and I'm sorry to be so forward. But I just–I want you to know something. I want you to–I need you to understand that you are safe. You, Junior, Holly... You are completely safe. Everything that I do–everything–I do it to protect this family.

Skyler

So buying that car, that was protecting your family?

Walter

Okay, I... Alright, maybe it's a little flashy, but he needed a car, and I'm his father, and I should be able to get what he wants.

Skyler

It goes back. Tomorrow.

Walter

Skyler, it will crush him.

Skyler

That car directly contradicts our story. And if you're so invested in protecting this family, it means protecting the story. What do you think the neighbors are gonna say, Walt? What about Hank and Marie? How about the IRS? What were you thinking, Walt?

Walter

I was thinking that I wanted to do something nice for my son. [beat] Look... I just worry that he'll blame you for this.

Skyler

Oh, he will. Once again, he'll blame his bitch mother for taking away what his loving father has given him... So, thanks for that. [pause] But you know what, Walt? Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family.
