• Walter White : [Walt tries to figure how much they need to make for his family to be financially secure]  Adjusting for inflation-a good state college-adjusting for inflation, say $45,000 dollars a year. Two kids, 4 years of college: $360,000 dollars; remaining mortgage on the home: $107,000; Home equity line: $30,000; That's $137,000. Costs of living: food, clothing, utilities: say, two-grand a month. That should put a dent in it anyway. 24K a year provide, for say, 10 years, that's $240,000 dollars, plus 360 plus 137: Seven-thirty-seven. $737,000 dollars, that's what I need. You and I both clear about 70 grand a week, that's only 10 1/2 more weeks call it, or eleven. Eleven, call it eleven more drug deals and always in a public place from now on. It's doable. Definitely doable.

• Walter White : [showing Jesse a baggie of castor beans]  We are going to process them into ricin.

  Jesse Pinkman : Rice and beans?

  Walter White : Ricin. It's an extremely effective poison. It's toxic in small doses. Also fairly easy to overlook during an autopsy.

  Jesse Pinkman : All right. All right. So...

  Walter White : [slapping his hand away]  Don't touch them.

  Jesse Pinkman : Seriously, you can get poisoned from beans?

  Walter White : Yes. Back in the late '70s, ricin was used to assassinate a Bulgarian journalist. The KGB modified the tip of an umbrella to inject a tiny pellet into the man's leg. And we're talking about an amount not much bigger than the head of a pin.

  Jesse Pinkman : But it... it killed him?

  Walter White : Oh, yes. Now we just need to figure out a delivery device, and then no more Tuco.

• Jesse Pinkman : [processing ricin]  That's all it takes?

  Walter White : That's all it takes.

  Jesse Pinkman : So, now what?

  Walter White : Now we arrange our next meet. In a public place this time. Nice and safe. Business as usual. And, uh, after we sell him our usual four pounds, then we'll pull this out. "By the way, Tuco, this is a new meth formula we've been working on. Would you care to try it?"

  Jesse Pinkman : Okay, well, what's new about it? I mean, you know, just in case he asks. What do we say?

  Walter White : I don't know. Whatever you want. It gets the user insanely high. I mean, how much salesmanship do we really need? That degenerate snorts anything he gets his hands on.

• Walter White : If he wanted to kill us, he would've at the junkyard.

  Jesse Pinkman : What is that! Conjecture? Are you basing that on that he's got a normal healthy brain or something? Did you not see him beat a dude to death for, like, nothing? And that way, that way he just kept staring at us. Saying you're done. You're done? You wanna know what that means? I will tell you what that means. That means exactly how it sounds, yo! All right. We are witnesses. We are lose ends. Right now, Tuco's thinking, Yeah, Hey. They cook good meth, but? Can I trust them? What happens when he decides no?
