Quotes 

• Declan : Who the hell are you?

  Walter White : You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name.

  Declan : Do what? I don't... I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are.

  Walter White : Yeah, you do. I'm the cook. I'm the man who killed Gus Fring.

  Declan : Bullshit. Cartel got Fring.

  Walter White : Are you sure?

  [Declan looks at Mike and Mike shakes his head] 

  Walter White : That's right. Now, say my name.

  Declan : [quietly]  Heisenberg.

  Walter White : You're goddamn right.

• Mike Ehrmantraut : All of this, falling apart like this, is on you.

  Walter White : Wow.

  [laughs] 

  Walter White : Wow! Oh, that's some kind of logic right there, Mike. You screw up, get yourself followed by the DEA, and now, suddenly, this is all my fault. Why don't you walk me through this, Mike?

  Mike Ehrmantraut : We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Fring. We had a lab. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, cooked and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

• Walter White : If you believe that there's a hell... I don't know if you're into that. But we're... we're already pretty much going there, right? But I'm not gonna lie down until I get there.

• Declan : Looks like you're about 1,000 gallons light here, Mike. Where's the juice?

  Walter White : The methylamine isn't coming.

  Declan : Why is that? And who the hell are you?

  Walter White : I'm the man who's keeping it.

  Declan : [points at Walt and asks Mike]  What the hell is this? We had an agreement, right? We got our deal. So, where's the tank, Mike?

  Walter White : Mike doesn't know where it is. Only I do. And you're dealing with me now, not him.

  Declan : Why don't you just cut to what it is you want or what you think is gonna happen. 'Cause were gonna get what we came for.

  Walter White : That 1,000 gallons of methylamine is worth more in my hands than it is in yours or anyone else's for that matter. But I need distribution.

  Declan : [chuckles]  Distribution.

  Walter White : That's right. So if you agree to give up your cook and sell my product instead, I'll give you 35% of the take.

  Declan : 35%? Are you kidding me? 35... Mike, please tell me this is a joke. Do you know how far we had to stick our necks out to get our hands on this cash? And why the hell would we want you? You realize we have our own operation, right?

  Walter White : I know all about your operation. My partners here tell me that you produce a meth that's 70% pure if you're lucky. What I produce is 99.1% pure.

  Declan : So?

  Walter White : So... it's grade-school teeball vs. The New York Yankees. Yours is just some tepid... off-brand, generic cola. What I'm making is classic Coke.

  Declan : All right. Okay. So, um...

  [clears throat] 

  Declan : If we just waste you right here right now and leave you in the desert, then there is no more Coke on the market, right? See how that works? There's only us.

  Walter White : Do you really wanna live in a world without Coca-Cola?

• Walter White : Now that we're in control, no one else gets hurt.

  Jesse Pinkman : You keep saying that, and it's bullshit every time!

• Walter White : What have you got in your life? Nothing. Nobody. Oh, wait. Yes. Video games and go-carts.

• Walter White : Look, Todd, I don't need you to be Antoine Lavoisier. Uh, what I do need is your full effort and attention. Listen and apply yourself. If you do that, we just might have a fighting chance here, okay?

• Walter White : [throws bag of meth to Declan]  My partner tells me that your crew switched to a P2P cook because of our success. You dye your meth with food colouring to make it look like mine. You already ape my product at every turn. But now... you have the opportunity to sell it yourself.

  Declan : I need you to listen to me. We're not gonna give up this deal to become your errand boys. Do you understand? For what? To watch a bunch of junkies get a better high?

  Walter White : A better high means customers pay more. A higher purity means a greater yield. That's 130 million dollars a profit that isn't being pissed away by some substandard cook. Now you listen to me. You've got the greatest meth cook in...

  [points to Jesse] 

  Walter White : No, two of the greatest meth cooks in America right here. And with our skills, you'll earn more from that 35% than you ever will on your own.

  Declan : Yeah. So you say. Just wondering why we're so lucky. Why cut us in?

  Walter White : Mike is retiring from our crew. So his share of the partnership is for sale, if you can handle his end... Distribution. And if you give him the five million dollars of the 15 million that you brought today. Just think of it as a finder's fee for bringing us together. We have 40 pounds of product ready to ship, ready to go. The question is, are you ready?

• Walter White : Being the best at something is a very rare thing. You don't just toss something like that away. And what, you wanna squander that potential?
