GRETCHEN SCHWARTZ comes over, elegant in her simple white<br />
dress and her long hair worn down around her shoulders.<br />
Attractive and highly intelligent, Gretchen is the wife that<br />
Walt might have had once upon a time, if things had gone<br />
differently. To him, she represents the ultimate “what if.”<br />
(Astute viewers will recognize her from the Teaser in<br />
Episode 102; in the Los Alamos flashback, she was Walt’s lab<br />
partner.)<br />
GRETCHEN<br />
Oh my God, it’s been ages.<br />
WALT<br />
Good to see you, Gretchen.<br />
Instead of hugging her, Walt shakes Gretchen’s hand. This<br />
choice of greeting is awkward, given their history -- but no<br />
one notices except Gretchen and Elliott. Walt pulls his<br />
hand away first.<br />
Gretchen turns to Skyler, smiles graciously.<br />
GRETCHEN<br />
Hi, Skyler. Thanks for coming.<br />
SKYLER<br />
Good to see you -- we missed you<br />
the last time. I think you were in<br />
Rwanda or something...<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
And she just got back from Darfur.<br />
GRETCHEN<br />
The Foundation awarded a grant to<br />
the International Relief Fund.<br />
Walt responds just a tad too enthusiastically -- again,<br />
imperceptible to anyone but Gretchen and Elliott.<br />
WALT<br />
That’s so great.<br />
(then, to Elliott)<br />
Oh, and congratulations on the<br />
Nobel Prize. The research you’ve<br />
been doing... it’s phenomenal.<br />
ELLIOTT<br />
(sincerely modest)<br />
Thanks. We’ve got a first-rate<br />
team working their asses off.<br />
We’re very lucky.<br />
