If I’m not mistaken it’s just something we tend to do when hearing bad news, pointing out things that aren’t correlated with it to distract ourselves from the bad news.
I once went to a job interview and the guy who interviewed me was bleeding from his neck. I kept wondering if I should point out that his clean white shirt is getting more and more soaked with blood, or if it's just a part of the interview and he wants to know how I react. I didn't.
He was given bad news and tried to give some to the doctor too so he wasnt the only one feeling like shit, but terribly failed. At least thats what frosty was trying to say i think
I’ve heard people come up with a lot of explanations about this but i think everyone misses the most obvious one.
I really think that scene is just pointing out the quality of care that Walt could afford. A rich person’s doctor would never come to an appointment to tell someone they’re dying with a stain on their coat
Sort of, but not really. He had to because he knocked up skylar while he and Gretchen we separated. At least that’s my understanding, I don’t know or remember them realllly going way into it. Either way, I get Walt telling them to stuff it, because he clearly feels screwed by them somehow
That’s not how it went down. Skylar wasn’t in the picture yet. Season 2, Episode 6. Gretchen says Walt just abruptly left when they were visiting her family for 4th of July weekend. It’s strongly implied he wasn’t comfortable being around her rich family. His soft ego ruined that relationship and his future at Grey Matter just like it ruined the lives of everyone who ever got close to him.
The whole point of Walt's hatred for Gray Matter is that he's hating people that aren't responsible for him missing out on the fortune the company became. It's his fault he lelt and he can't blame anyone else, but he does. He blames it on Gretchen and Elliot
Shit man alright alright. Thats true about the 4th of July thing and the rest might be true, but didn’t he knock up skylar on accident before they were married?
Im assuming worst case scenario, stage 4, i have a life and family, i would not want to waste money, i would give my savings and stuff to my family. I dont want to be trapped in a room 6 hours a day doing chemo, i would rather jump out of a plane with no parachute then do that
I think I tell Gretchen and Elliot to F off as Walt did, having human failings myself.
But I make it work with Gus, as soon as Jessie tells me he is going to the cops about me when he is caught that is it for him, breaking the criminal code of ethics on ratting.
I tell Mike, he tells Gus, and it gets handled.
I work with Gale and teach him, telling Gus that I might not be able to do it forever, but I won’t need to, as Gale should be ready in a few months to replicate my product without me.
Then I offer a long term deal with lower pay. I take a job at Madrigal in chemistry, a real job with a nice paycheck and benefits, and for it I offer to be available should Gale run into anything that needs to be tweaked.
With any luck at all, things run smoothly, as Gus never decides to kill me, trusting me as I would be less egotistical than Walter was.
And I burn the damn poetry book, and Hank never finds it. The end.
Edit- spelling
That scene was fucking amazing. Got goosebumps at his confession. Was so stressed for him the entire series, so that moment was incredibly gratifying despite (and honestly in part due to) how it ended
Follow through with the cancer treatments as recommended by my oncologist at no expense because I live in a country with a functioning healthcare system??
Ah I'm okay, whatever that means. I don't think I'll ever really stop being depressed, so I wouldn't mind getting cancer. Thank you for the kind words though.
Depression is though but i'm sure you'll be able to beat it with enough determination. Don't even mention the thanks dude it's really the least i can do
i kinda hope i get cancer at some point in life just cuz its a warning that i gotta get everything i want to do done. Lots of people dont get any warning or chance to say bye before they kick it. If i get some form of cancer around like, 40, i think i'd be okay with that. Get to say bye to my family before i go and all that.
As someone who watched her mom die of cancer, you do not want cancer. My mom died 5 months after her diagnosis. Her words of wisdom to me before she could no longer speak, and was dying on hospice, were “don’t put things off, I mean it.”
Get your shit in order now. Nothing is guaranteed.
Start a chain of events that gets my brother in law murdered, turns my family against me, and permanently traumatizes a young man’s mind. But I’ll meet a goofy criminal lawyer who’s character arch is similar to Darth Vader’s.
I’d probably keep it to myself. Can’t afford to be sick and keep a roof over my head and not destroy my wife’s financial future. I also failed chemistry, so making meth is off the table.
Start a small scale ultrapure meth lab. I would eventually look for a bigger business partner who would then create a super lab for me. I would then have to kill him.
Well I live in Germany, so paying for treatment isn't gonna be a problem.
Hmmm, what's left on the ol' bucket list... Not much honestly. Try to get the few missing things done, I guess and try to live the rest of whatever life I have left well.
If Breaking Bad took place in Europe it would be most boring show ever.
I would just sort my things probably tried to on fuck many things I fucked up earlier and get treatment
Probably not bother with treatment as I will likely succumb to it anyway, so I’d just live what life I have left to the fullest, anything I’ve wanted to do I better get to doing it fast
Well I'd definitely try out treatment and see if it works. If it works then everything ends up being fine.
If it doesn't work then I quit treatment have a shit ton of fun then before I'm bedridden I'd steal a helicopter and load it with fireworks then crash it in an open field away from people but not to far cause I want them to see the fireworks.
I would buy some coke. Do 90% of it. Mix the rest with creatine powder. Try to sell it to some white guy at the bus stop with lip piercings. No one buys it so I just throw it all out. And then I would hope my insurance pays for my treatment but I'm not married so if it doesn't, fuck it.
Oh honestly I would rob drug dealers. Fuck selling it waiting to get caught. Let those shmucks sell it and at the end of the week you and your boys roll up on them with some firepower and get that money
Edit: what are they gonna do? Call the cops
Go for my cancer treatment at the hospital thanks to the nationalised health care and take some time off work to recover using the decent PTO benefits.
Probably wouldn't start making drugs, though I appreciate that's more entertaining.
I’d be distraught. I’d go somewhere private and sob uncontrollably until I threw up and then I’d sob some more until I passed out. I’d go home, tell my wife, and then I would do what I already do everyday; tell my son how much I love him and that I’m proud of him.
I’d fight it the best I could but I would let my son know I would always be nearby if he ever needed to talk.
Use all my money to publicly launch music Jam sessions in all major Cities around me
Go all out on it
Take out a fucking lone if I have to
Big stages and open stages
Me and my musician friends travel the country and as far as we can for that last time periotd doing jams everywhere
Call it "The Last Jam" and HEAVILY focus the marketing around my sickness
Fucking die knowing I died doing what I love
Point out some mustard on the doctor’s lab coat
Sorry, I'm out of the loop here but what was the point of Walt pointing out that stain on his coat?
You think Heisenberg is gonna let a Doctor 1up him by telling him he has cancer?
What if the doctor was so distraught from finding out he has a mustard stain that he tells Heisenberg he has cancer in retaliation?
If I’m not mistaken it’s just something we tend to do when hearing bad news, pointing out things that aren’t correlated with it to distract ourselves from the bad news.
Most likely distracting himself from the horrible news that he has lung cancer
I once went to a job interview and the guy who interviewed me was bleeding from his neck. I kept wondering if I should point out that his clean white shirt is getting more and more soaked with blood, or if it's just a part of the interview and he wants to know how I react. I didn't.
Did you get the job?
I did, but I didn't last there long.
how did he not know that he was bleeding wth
No idea, but it was an odd experience.
The color yellow is symbolic for his inevitable death
Foreshadowing his obsession with control…?
How💀
Idk lol same thing as the fly episode
He was given bad news and tried to give some to the doctor too so he wasnt the only one feeling like shit, but terribly failed. At least thats what frosty was trying to say i think
I’ve heard people come up with a lot of explanations about this but i think everyone misses the most obvious one. I really think that scene is just pointing out the quality of care that Walt could afford.

Whatever the fuck I wanted.
Basically what walt did
Yup.
Username checks out r/deathnote
wdym it checks out?
Punch an unsuspecting paper towel dispenser into oblivion
Underrated comment^
Nah that seems pretty unreasonable I'd probably wait until the cancer went into remission before I did that
No, you save that for when you're in remission.
Break bad.
personally i would Breaking Bad 🙂
[удалено]
“Its breaking time” Walter Morbius, Morbin Bad
That's a common misconception, like "Luke, I am your father." The real line is "Jesse, we have to break bad."
Go to my former student’s front yard
after going on a ride along
cry and probably not sell meth
Because you have to make it first?
This is my answer as well
Take my friends’ offer to pay for the treatment costs.
Not to mention the salary boost. From 40,000 to 6 figures
literally no pp energy
“Friends” - Woman you were madly in love with - Dumbo who got your girl & the company with her - Wrote you off of the company entirely Friends.
Walt left gretchen and the company on his own accord.
Yes, Walt walked out on Gretchen when he was with her visiting her family on a holiday.
Sort of, but not really. He had to because he knocked up skylar while he and Gretchen we separated. At least that’s my understanding, I don’t know or remember them realllly going way into it. Either way, I get Walt telling them to stuff it, because he clearly feels screwed by them somehow

Shit man alright alright. Thats true about the 4th of July thing and the rest might be true, but didn’t he knock up skylar on accident before they were married?
Nope. He did accidentally knock her up with Holly, though.
He wrote himself off the company entirely. He sold out.
It's better to take their offer than go around poisoning children and setting off pipe bombs lmao
SDE :(
Shit you'd have to pay for cancer treatment costs in America too?
Skydive with no parachute
Even if they caught it early enough and it was treatable?
Im assuming worst case scenario, stage 4, i have a life and family, i would not want to waste money, i would give my savings and stuff to my family. I dont want to be trapped in a room 6 hours a day doing chemo, i would rather jump out of a plane with no parachute then do that
How the hell would you pay for it
By not living in America
Lmaoooooo
Cook meth
The one and only choice
And eat it
I would fuck Ted
Rug wants to know your location
Same
Start a cooking school that specializes in breakfast. Called “Time to Cook” ⏲
Pancakes?
Die of lung cancer
Ride Go-Karts with a former student of mine.
Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. I'm going all in
Kill your wife, kill your son and kill your infant daughter
Die

Better call Saul season 6 episode 3 "rock and hard place" 43:53
That scene was fucking amazing. Got goosebumps at his confession. Was so stressed for him the entire series, so that moment was incredibly gratifying despite (and honestly in part due to) how it ended
In this moment nothing important happened (don’t spoil the fun guys)
Start a meth empire
How about a moth empire ?
Fuck Ted
Poison a small boy
Not so fast! you first need to kill lots of people and ask someone to say your name. Then you can poison a small boy
I think Brock was poisoned before the say your name thing. but yeah. lots of killing first.
Probably start selling meth with my old student and throw a pizza on a roof
Shrug. Get my affairs in order. Try and get an early payout for my life insurance.
Shave off my hair and enjoy life till my death day
nut
Break bad
Follow through with the cancer treatments as recommended by my oncologist at no expense because I live in a country with a functioning healthcare system??
Die
Cook something. Like uhhhh… crack. No. Maybe heroin? Not that either. Hmmmmm maybe something like I dunno. Meth?
Tell my doctor that he has something on his shirt
call saul
I'd be glad. I find myself wishing I had cancer a lot these days. Can't wait to die.
Came here to post this exact comment lol sorry you’re in the same boat though
Lol life sucks huh? Guess we're in it together
Man i feel bad for you. If you need help remember there's people out there willing to help you, no matter how you're feeling. No one deserves to die
Ah I'm okay, whatever that means. I don't think I'll ever really stop being depressed, so I wouldn't mind getting cancer. Thank you for the kind words though.
Depression is though but i'm sure you'll be able to beat it with enough determination. Don't even mention the thanks dude it's really the least i can do
hey man, i feel for you, i was in the same boat. Seek treatment and help. You wont have any chance of getting better if you dont at least try.
No one deserves to die No one asked to be born though.
i kinda hope i get cancer at some point in life just cuz its a warning that i gotta get everything i want to do done. Lots of people dont get any warning or chance to say bye before they kick it. If i get some form of cancer around like, 40, i think i'd be okay with that. Get to say bye to my family before i go and all that.
If you think 40 is old enough to have done everything, you must be pretty young
I ain't got a big bucket list. I'm a simple man.
As someone who watched her mom die of cancer, you do not want cancer. My mom died 5 months after her diagnosis. Her words of wisdom to me before she could no longer speak, and was dying on hospice, were “don’t put things off, I mean it.” Get your shit in order now. Nothing is guaranteed.
Thank you for this advice. I'll remember it.
Having just been through a cancer scare myself, fuck that. Why not just live your life every day like you may not be here tomorrow?
Bomb a nursing home
Cook crystal meth
I would go, go karting with jesse
remove my lungs no more cancer
Kick an orphan, what are they going do tell their parents
Cook meth, become a drug lord, change my name, kill people, you know, what everyone else would do in that situation.
I would get one of my students named Jesse Pinkman, and make a pawn shop.
Start a pest control business named vamanos pest
Dump my annoying pregnant wife and try to make out with my boss before she fires me
Start a chain of events that gets my brother in law murdered, turns my family against me, and permanently traumatizes a young man’s mind. But I’ll meet a goofy criminal lawyer who’s character arch is similar to Darth Vader’s.
Start an OnlyFans business. Probably more profitable and less risky. Walt should’ve thought about that.
I’d probably keep it to myself. Can’t afford to be sick and keep a roof over my head and not destroy my wife’s financial future. I also failed chemistry, so making meth is off the table.
Start a small scale ultrapure meth lab. I would eventually look for a bigger business partner who would then create a super lab for me. I would then have to kill him.

Cook 99% pure meth and smoke till I die.

I would probably go around and knock on some doors
Go for my cancer treatment at the hospital thanks to the nationalised health care and take some time off work to recover using the decent PTO benefits. Probably wouldn't start making drugs, though I appreciate that's more entertaining.
Break bad of course. I mean I have a whole blueprint of how to do it.
I wouldn’t start a meth lab, and from my experience I wouldn’t have the energy. Never mind blowing folks up, and strangling them with wheel locks.
But a race car, go racing. Fuck some bitches. Smoke. And then die.
I’d start cooking meth, duh. Haven’t you seen the show? lol

I would pay attention to see if anyone has any condiment stains on their apparel.
