Walter and Walter Jr. in “Granite State”

Son, it’s me. Please don’t let on. Carmen’s nearby, right? She cannot know. Son, are you there?

Walter Jr.

Y–Yes.

It’s so good to hear your voice. I– I… I, uh… Son, the things that they’re saying… about me… I did wrong. I– I’ve made some terrible mistakes. But the reason were always… Things happened that… I– I never… intended. I never intended. Listen. Son, we don’t have much time. Is Louis’ family still at 4848 Newcombe? Son, your friend Louis Corbett, does his family still live in that same place up on Newcombe?

Walter Jr.

Y–Yes.

Okay, good. Okay, he’s–he’s a good kid. He’s–he’s like you. He’ll understand. I’m sending Louis a package. Now, it’s addressed to Louis, but it’s for you, your mother and your sister. There’s–there’s money inside. About $100,000. Okay? I think. It was all that I could fit into the box. It has to be a secret. And if anyone says a word, the police will take it. I wanted to give you so much more. But this is all I could do. Do you understand? Son? Can you hear me? Do you understand?

Walter Jr.

[pause] You want to send money?

Yes. Good. Good, good. So, you’ll–you’ll talk to Louis, right?

Walter Jr.

You killed Uncle Hank. You killed him!

Wait. Wait, son.

Walter Jr.

No. What you did to mom– You asshole. You killed Uncle Hank.

Listen to me. You’ve got to listen to me.

Walter Jr.

Shut up. Just stop it. Sto–stop it. I don’t want anything from you. I don’t give a shit.

You need this money. Your mother—

Walter Jr.

You killed Uncle Hank. You killed him!

Your mother needs this money. It can’t all be for nothing.

Walter Jr.

What you did–Just shut up.

Please.

Walter Jr.

Shut up.

Please.

Walter Jr.

Will you just–just leave us alone? You asshole! Why are you still alive?! Why don’t you just–just die already? Just–just die!
