• [on learning that Warrick Tennyson is dying in hospital] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : How long does he have?

  Walter : Two, three days. He's being deposed in connection with that federal racketeering case, and they're afraid they're gonna lose him before they get what they need. They're not letting anybody else near him.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You gave me your word.

  Walter : Come on, I didn't lie to you! If we close the ambassador case...

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Look, I don't *care* about the frigging ambassador! He means less than zero to me, okay? My friend's wife got *blown up*! You understand? And it killed him, too! In a way.

  [silence] 

  Walter : If we close this case, we can call the press, we can call City Hall, we're gonna have juice. Come on, you know how this works! They won't dare say no to us. Captain, it's not just your best shot. It's your only shot.
