Monologue text:
“Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me! No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!”

Analysis:
This monologue is one of the most iconic moments in Breaking Bad. The tone of the scene is serious and intimidating, showing Walter White’s transformation into Heisenberg. Skyler is worried about Walter’s safety, but his response shocks her. Instead of denying the danger, Walter claims that he is the danger, proving how much his personality has changed. This scene highlights Walter’s arrogance and desire for power. It also marks a turning point in the story, where Skyler realizes how dangerous her husband has become, which creates more tension in their relationship.
