WALT<br />

I wouldn’t even know where to<br />

begin. You have no idea... I spend<br />

my day drawing atoms on a<br />

chalkboard. Making kids memorize<br />

the periodic table.<br />

ELLIOTT<br />

I understand. You’re a little<br />

rusty. But you’re not seeing the<br />

upside here -- it might really help<br />

us to have a fresh set of eyes.<br />

You know what it’s like when you’re<br />

health insurance. The best.<br />

Walt looks to him, surprised. He knows I have cancer. How<br />
