Lyrics
WALTER:
You wanted the best,
Well, I brought you the rest—
No, forget what you heard,
I’ve perfected the test.
You can search every town,
You can look all around,
But the product I make
Is the purest you’ll find.
This isn’t some trash
That they cook up for cash,
This is science refined
Till the flaws disappear.
GUS:
And yet here you stand,
With destruction in hand,
Asking me to invest
In a reckless command.
You arrive unannounced,
You demand to be heard,
You bring chaos and noise
And expect to be served.
WALTER:
Jesse’s not chaos,
He’s part of the plan.
He’s a capable partner—
He’ll do what I command.
GUS:
He is young and unstable,
Unreliable, unable
To distinguish a fortune
From a hole in the floor.
WALTER:
He’s loyal!
GUS:
He’s impulsive.
WALTER:
He’s useful!
GUS:
He’s disruptive.
WALTER:
He’s learning!
GUS:
He’s a liability.
WALTER:
You don’t know him!
GUS:
I know probability.
⸻
WALTER:
You think I’m a fool?
I’m a chemist, not cruel.
I don’t gamble with product—
I establish the rule.
Every batch that I make
Is a calculated take.
Every crystal I produce
Is precisely awake.
You have trucks, you have routes,
You have men, you have clout.
But without what I make,
What exactly’s your route?
GUS:
I have patience.
WALTER:
I have brilliance.
GUS:
I have structure.
WALTER:
I have science.
GUS:
I have discipline.
WALTER:
I have vision.
GUS:
And you have something
Far more dangerous:
WALTER:
Ambition?
GUS:
Ego.
⸻
GUS:
You think because you are clever
You are clever enough
To survive every storm,
Every threat, every bluff.
But a business is fragile,
A machine must run clean.
One unpredictable piece
Can destroy the machine.
I built mine very slowly.
Every cog has its place.
Every man knows his station.
Every smile has a face.
I serve chicken by day,
I conduct business by night.
To the customer—
GUS:
Polite.
To my enemies—
GUS:
A different kind of polite.
⸻
WALTER:
So that’s your concern?
GUS:
Your lack of restraint.
WALTER:
You want me controlled?
GUS:
I want you contained.
WALTER:
You want me obedient?
GUS:
I want you precise.
WALTER:
Then look at my product.
GUS:
I have.
WALTER:
Look at the numbers.
GUS:
I have.
WALTER:
Then tell me I’m wrong.
GUS:
Your product is extraordinary.
WALTER:
Then we have a deal.
GUS:
No.
WALTER:
Why?
GUS:
Because extraordinary men
Have extraordinary pride.
And pride makes a man
Do extraordinary things—
That can ruin everything
He spent his life trying to build.
WALTER:
You think you know me?
GUS:
I think I know men.
And men like you—
Always believe they’re the exception.
WALTER:
Maybe I am.
GUS:
Then prove it.
[Silence.]
GUS:
Be careful, Mr. White.
WALTER:
I am careful.
GUS:
No.
You are merely clever.
[BLACKOUT.]
