Quotes 

• Tuco Salamanca : What's your name?

  Walt : "Heisenberg."

  Tuco Salamanca : Have a seat, Heisenberg.

  Walt : I don't imagine I'll be here very long.

  Tuco Salamanca : No? All right, be that way. It's your meeting. Why don't you start talking and tell me what you want?

  Walt : $50,000.

  Tuco Salamanca : [laughs]  50 G's! How do you figure that?

  Walt : 35 for the pound of meth you stole and 15 for my partner's pain and suffering.

  Tuco Salamanca : Partner...? Oh yeah. I remember that little bitch. So you must be daddy.

  [laughs] 

  Tuco Salamanca : Let me get this straight: I steal your dope, I beat the piss out of your mule boy, and then you walk in here and bring me *more* meth?

  [laughs] 

  Tuco Salamanca : That's a brilliant plan, ese.

  No-Doze : Brilliant.

  Walt : You got one part of that wrong.

  [picks up the crystal on Tuco's desk] 

  Walt : This is not meth.

  [Walt throws the crystal to the floor. An explosion blows out the windows on the second floor, glass shattering down to the street] 

  Tuco Salamanca : [coughing]  ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?

  Walt : [holds up a much larger packet]  Wanna find out?

• Jesse Pinkman : [Walter comes out of the RV, hardly able to breathe and disoriented]  Sit down get some air.

  [He sits down, Jesse notices the mark on his chest] 

  Jesse Pinkman : When were you gonna tell me?

  Walter H. White : Tell you what?

  Jesse Pinkman : Cancer! You got it, right?

  Walter H. White : [surprised]  How did you know?

  Jesse Pinkman : My aunt, had one those dots on her, to target the radiation. What is it, in your lung? I'm your partner man, you should have told me. That's not cool man, not at all. What stage are you?

  Walter H. White : [feeling nauseated, clutching his stomach as he catches his breath]  3A.

  Jesse Pinkman : [looking away]  It's in your lymph nodes.

  Walter H. White : [puts his glasses on and looks at Jesse]  Your aunt... How bad was she when they caught it?

  Jesse Pinkman : Bad enough, she didn't last long.

  Walter H. White : How long?

  Jesse Pinkman : Seven months.

  [looks at Walt with sudden realization] 

  Jesse Pinkman : I get it now, that's why you're doing all this, you want to make some cash for your people before you check out.

  Walter H. White : You got a problem with that?

• Walt : Last time I checked, there was 16 ounces to a pound. What'd you do with the rest, smoke it?

  Jesse Pinkman : Yo I been out there all night slangin' crystal. You think it's cake movin' a pound of meth, one teenth at a time?

  Walt : So why you selling it in such small quantities? Why don't you just sell the whole pound at once?

  Jesse Pinkman : To who? What do I look like? Scarface?

  Walt : This is unacceptable. I am breaking the law here. This return is too little for the risk. I thought you'd be ready for another pound today.

  Jesse Pinkman : You may know a lot about chemistry, man. But you don't know jack about slangin' dope.

• Walter H. White : We have to move our production bulk wholesale now. How do we do that?

  Jesse Pinkman : What do you mean? To, like, a distributor?

  Walter H. White : Yes. Yes, that's what we need. We need a distributor now. Do you know anyone like that?

  Jesse Pinkman : Yeah. I mean, I used to until you killed him.

• Tuco Salamanca : [about Walter's explosive "meth"]  Hey, what is that shit?

  Walter H. White : Fulminated mercury. A little tweak of chemistry.

• Tuco Salamanca : That crystal that your partner brought me? It sold faster than ten-dollar ass in T.J. What say you bring me another pound next week?

  Walter H. White : Money upfront.

  Tuco Salamanca : All right, money upfront. Sometimes you got to rob to keep your riches. Just as long as we got an understanding.

  Walter H. White : One pound is not gonna cut it. You have to take two.

  Tuco Salamanca : Oralé.

• [first lines] 

  Walter H. White : Let's get something straight. This, the chemistry, is my realm. I am in charge of the cooking. Out there on the street, you deal with that. As far as our customers go, I don't want to know anything about them. I don't wanna see them, I don't wanna hear from them. I want no interaction with them whatsoever. This operation is you and me, and I'm the silent partner. You got any issues with that?

  Jesse Pinkman : Whatever, man.

  Walter H. White : No matter what happens, no more bloodshed. No violence.

• Walt : I like to be alone, I mean, at times. And it's not about you, really. It's just that sometimes it feels better not to talk at all about anything to anyone. Alone time can be helpful, for some types. Maybe knowing what you do when you're alone might make it easier for your family to be more accepting of whatever it is you do alone. Well I like to go on walks a couple of times a week, maybe more, after work. And I really enjoy the nature. You know, the cacti... vegetation, that kind of thing. It's really very therapeutic.

• Walt : I mean, for what it's worth, Hugo just doesn't strike me as a thief.

  Hank Schrader : Yeah, well, nothing personal, Walt, but you wouldn't know a criminal if he was close enough to check you for a hernia.
