Fly

Breaking Bad 3×10

& Jesse: What about spillage?
    Walter: Spillage?
    Jesse: Yeah, you know, like, just stuff gets spilled.
    Walter: Nothing gets spilled.
    Jesse: A little maybe.
    Walter: Nothing gets spilled.
    Jesse: What about evaporation?
    Walter: It wouldn’t account for this much. The materials aren’t out that long.
    Jesse: What about the other one? The drops, like on... on that, like, cold beer.
    Walter: Condensation?
    Jesse: Yeah.
    Walter: No.
    Jesse: What about the crap that gets left behind, you know, all the gunk we scrape out of the vats? I add up, like, a gallon each. Did you work that in?
    Walter: Vestiges?
    Jesse: Yeah. Vestiges. Bet that’s it. Bet that’s totally it.

& Jesse: So exactly what kind of contaminant are we dealing with here?
    Walter: ......... A fly.

& Jesse: So you’re chasing around a fly, and in your world I’m the idiot.

& Jesse: So is that your fly saber?
    Walter: This is a swatter.

& Jesse: Look, I like making cherry products, but let’s keep it real. All right, we make poison for people who don’t care. We probably have the most UN-picky customers in the world.

& Walter: We’ll find it any minute now. Don’t give up.
    Jesse: Did you... Did you know that there’s an acceptable level of rat turds that can go into candy bars?.. That’s the government, Jack. Even the government doesn’t care that much about quality. You know what is okay to put in hotdogs? Huh?.. Pig lips and assholes, but I say, hey, have at it, bastard, because I love hotdogs, and, you know, see what I’m... What are you doing?

& Walter: It stays closed. That’s an order!
    Jesse: You can’t order shit, Adolf. We’re 50-50 partners. Remember?

& Jesse: You ever have, like, a wild animal trapped our house?
    Walter: Not that I can recall, no.
    Jesse: We did, this one time, back when it was my aunt’s house, back before she died of cancer. Possum. Big, freaky-looking bitch. Hey, since when did they change it to “opossum”? What’s up with that? I mean, when I was coming up, it was just “possum.” “Opossum” makes it sound like he’s Irish or something. Why they gotta go changing everything?

& Walter: Is there a discernible* point to this story, a point that you’ll be arriving at sometime in the near future?

& Walter: The universe is random. It’s not inevitable. It’s simple chaos. It’s subatomic particles in endless, aimless collision. That’s what science teaches us, but what is this saying? What is it telling us, when on the very night that this man’s daughter dies, it’s me who’s having a drink with him? How can that be random?

& Walter: If had just lived right up to that moment and not one second more... ...that would’ve been perfect.
