Kafkaesque

Breaking Bad 3×9

& Jesse: 200 pounds a week for three months. That’s 2400 pounds. 2400 times 40,000 is... and I swear to God, I double-checked this, like, 10 times...
    Walter: 96 million dollars.

& Walter: Jesse, you are now a millionaire, and you’re complaining?

& Jesse: Hey, what’s more important than money?

& Hank: That’s you, Gomie?
    Gomez:Yeah, Hank. I’m right here.
    Hank: Come here... Closer...
    Gomez:What is it?
    Hank: Closer... Asshole.

& Walter: Skyler, I had nothing to do...
    Skyler: Are we safe?
    Walter: Yes.
    Skyler: Are you safe?
    Walter: Absolutely.

& Jesse: My boss is a dick. The owner? Super dick. I’m not worthy or whatever to meet him, but I guess everybody’s scared of the dude. The place is full of dead-eyed douche-bags, the hours suck, and nobody knows what’s going on, so...
    Group Leader: Sounds kind of Kafkaesque.
    Jesse: Yeah. Totally Kafkaesque.

& Saul: Don’t you get it? On the outside, it’s a nail salon, right? On the inside, it’s the best money laundry a growing boy could ask for.

& Saul: Now, you know you need to launder your money, right? Do you understand the basics of it?.. Placement, layering, integration?..
    Jesse: I ain’t buying no damn nail salon, so just forget it.
    Saul: You want to stay out of jail, don’t you? You want to keep your money and your freedom. Because I got three little letters for you. IRS. If they can get Capone, they can get you.

& Saul: Okay, here’s your cash. You’re out on the town. You’re partying hearty. You’re knocking boots with the chickie babes. Oh, who’s this?.. It’s the tax man. And he’s looking at you. What does he see? He sees a young fellow with a big, fancy house, unlimited cash supply, and no job. Now what is the conclusion the tax man makes?
    Jesse: I’m a drug dealer?
    Saul: Bzzzz. Wrong. Million times worse. You’re a tax cheat.

& Jesse: So you want me to buy this place so I can pay taxes. I’m a criminal, yo.
    Saul: Yeah, and if you want to stay a criminal and not become, say, a convict, then maybe you should grow up and listen to your lawyer.

& Jesse: What’s the point of being an outlaw when you’ve got responsibilities?
    Badger: Darth Vader had responsibilities. ... He was responsible for the Death Star. True that. Two of them bitches. ..... Just saying. Devil’s advocate.

& Skyler: Well, you know how Walt is. He’s... He’s a problem solver, and he read books, and he did a whole bunch of research, and he came up with... this system.
    Marie: A system?
    Skyler: A system for counting cards in Blackjack.
    Marie: W-What do you mean, like Rain Man?
    Skyler: Well, I don’t pretend to understand, you know, all the details, but he was convinced that if you put enough money into it, he’d have a, um, uh... God, what is it? A statistical edge?
    Walter: Yes, statistical... So... right. ...um, yeah.

& Skyler: So all this is to say we have the money. No more gambling. But we have the money.
    Marie: How... much money?
    Skyler: Walt?
    Walter: Uh... Well, uh... It’s in the seven figures.

& Skyler: Somehow something tells me that Hank is here because of you. And I’m not forgetting that.
