Hes been staying out for long hours when no one knows where he is.

Hes been temperamental to the extreme at home and in the bedroom.

Hes apparently been smoking pot.

The real Walt is much more troubling.

Skyler wants him around as long as possible.

He doesnt want to be managed anymore.

Now this last one, cancer all I have left is how I choose to approach this.

But thats long in the past.

(Sorry about the buckle rash, the insignia reads.)

And so he strikes a diabolical compromise.

And as fortune would have it, Jesse has been itching to get back in the game, too.

He cant go back to being the F student who sprinkled chili powder on subpar meth.

Hes been to the mountaintop.

Walt still gets to make a choice about how to manage the end of his life.

Its just that only his burnout former student knows about it.

The straight life is not for him.

I gravitated toward education?

Ah, what university?

(you could give generously to the church or political party of your choice.

you’re free to save the fucking spotted owl with money.)

What good is it to survive if Im too sick to work?

To enjoy a meal?

For what time I have left, I wanna live in my own house.

I wanna sleep in my own bed.

How we choose to die is a personal and often fraught decision with many parties involved.
