“Hank, I... I... I think maybe... maybe I...” – Skyler, Breaking Bad ... TV Quotes Database

Skyler

Hank, I... I... I think maybe... maybe I need a lawyer.

Hank

What? No, no, no, no, you don't.

Skyler

I–I think maybe I do.

Hank

Skyler, understand, I am here to help you. But to do that, I need your help. We start bringing in lawyers and they start putting up roadblocks where they don't need to be, and my ability to control the situation diminishes.

Skyler

Just for my own protection. It just, you know, it seems to make sense that I should have someone to talk to.

Hank

Skyler, I am your–your biggest advocate here, and I'm telling you, for your own good, you need to get out ahead of this thing. I mean, you start–you know–getting defensive, I–I'm not saying it's right, but I'll tell you it's a fact. The D.A. will look at you differently.

Skyler

But you don't know that.

Hank

Skyler, yes, I–I do. I've been around long enough to know. It's in your best interest to get out there and show the world you have nothing to hide. Look, no one in the world is more important to me than your sister. So believe me when I tell you that your best interest and mine are the same.

Skyler

But Hank, you telling me not to talk to a lawyer doesn't sound like that at all. It sounds like what you want... What you want is to get Walter at all costs.

Hank

Okay. Okay. Let's just slow down. Slow down. You can. You can talk to a lawyer later. But right now, what we need to do, we need to go get the kids, we need to bring them to my house where they are safe. And then we need to help each other put this animal away, okay? [gets up from the table] Come on.

Skyler

Hank—

Hank

No, come on. Let's go to the house and we'll deal with it there. Come on.

Skyler

Am I under arrest?

Hank

What?

Skyler

Am I under arrest?

[Hank sits back down.]
