Are we friends on facebook? If not, you may have missed this little conversation play out:
Yesterday's status update: The perfect Sunday is in progress: krispy kreme donuts, laughing until I'm in tears, Justin Beiber movie with Sadie and a date to watch the Blair witch project tonight. Yippee!
To which the following comment was made, "Megan, I hate to tell you this but the Krispy Kreme donuts are showing! Now quit that stuff and get that beautiful figure back!"
Awwww...snap. I'm not going to lie. I stopped breathing when I read it.(and my head spun around while I said, "oh no he di int!") Then I got sad and I cried and cried and cried. I looked at myself in the mirror and judged and critiqued and gave my cellulite the evil eye. I muttered curses under my breath like, "You try raising two special needs children and see how much damn time you have to exercise!" Then I got pissed and *maybe* called my husband at work and dropped the f bomb a few times while he consoled me and told me how amazing I was. Then I cried some more- but this time I cried because I was so mad at myself for letting one person's stupid @ss comments dictate how I thought about myself.
Am I heavier than I've ever been? Yup. Am I 30 (okay 40) pounds overweight? Yup. Am I happier than I've been in years? Yes. Yes. Yes. I feel more alive and more like I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do with my life than ever before. My marriage is happier and healthier than it has been since we had the boys over four years ago. I feel like I am being and doing the best that I can for my children and the causes that I support. My husband thinks I'm sexy and tells me so on a regular basis. I am my most authetic self. So why in the world did I get so bent out of shape at one stupid comment? I wish I knew. But I think at the root of it- I know my own shortcomings. I'm harder on myself that anyone else could ever be. So I don't really need anyone else to point out my flaws- especially about my weight.
Not many people know this about me, but since I have no filter on this blog- I'll just put it out there. I cycled in and out of anorexia/bulimia for years. It started when I was 14. As a freshman on the swim team, our coach was critical of us girls and our physique. "Long and lean"- that's how swimmer's bodies are supposed to be. I was a perfectly average weight and height for a 14 year old girl- but long and lean are words that will never describe me. It was drilled into me that average was not good enough. As a kid my 5 foot tall tiny mother was 95 pounds soaking wet. That was a ridiculous example for me to try to follow. As a teenager, I didn't get that we just weren't built the same. But that didn't stop me from trying to get to that ideal I had in my head of what a perfect body was supposed to look like. If that meant that I pumped myself full of diet pills and didn't eat for days, then that's what I'd do.
It was not a pretty time in my life. I was unhappy with myself and my purpose in life. I was lost and confused and insecure. I did not feel valuable. I went to college and joined the rowing team. Rowers are not meant to be rails- they are meant to be powerful. That is, until the tiny person that sits in the front of the boat and steers quits the team. Then the coaches look for the shortest person on the team (me) and make that girl as skinny as possible so that she is the least amount of dead weight she can be to steer the boat. The pressure was unbelievable. At the time, I weighed 135 pounds and was 5 foot 4. Right smack in the middle of a healthy weight. In came the university nutritionists who were called in to make me "healthy" (aka- stupid skinny) The pressure of that and my outside life gave me an ulcer that rendered me unable to eat for months and I got down to a weight that I will never see again- or ever even want to see again. But despite how unhealthy I was, people told me how good I looked the thinner I got- even when I was too thin. I was a miserable girl who had a rockin' body in a bikini. I was crowned the freaking prom queen at the height of my sickness and at my very lowest weight. My sick brain said, "See, Meg. People like you better when you are really skinny!"
The cycle went on for years and I was in and out of unhealthy relationships that mirrored how unhealthy I was to my body. Then I got married and got pregnant. Pregnancy changed how I finally saw my body. For years, I was forcing my body to go against everything it needed to do naturally. And finally- FINALLY- I let go of the illusion that my body was something that needed to be manipulated through extreme measures. I've yo-yo'd a lot over the last many years, but I finally learned that my WORTH is not tied to a pair of size 4 jeans. But to say that I'm not still sensitive would be an injustice to my feelings. I want to be healthy. I want to look nice. I don't want to have to suck it in and do the pants dance to get things to button. But I will never again tie my life's happiness to the number on the scale EVER.
So while I threw myself a pity party for a couple of hours over the comment made about my weight, I will not let it change who I think I am. It will not cause me to be insecure. I will not do myself that disservice. I will not do my daughter that disservice. Instead, I will continue to show her that we do not judge others for their color, religion or waistline. I will show her that a confident woman defines herself by who she is inside, not what she looks like. I will teach her to measure her success by the good that she puts out into the world and by the happiness that she brings to her family and friends. I will show her that we don't need to tear others down to make ourselves feel bigger. I will show her, and remind myself, that I am worthy of happiness and love no matter what the world tells me I should look like and who I should be. I'm bigger than that. Amen.

a revolution, i sense it
There is something to be said for the fact that three magazines have just put designers and editors themselves on the cover. It means either that they're becoming more celebrities or that some magazines are brave enough to use the people thatt make what we love on the covers over a model or actor wearing what we love. For some reason this gets me so, so excited.

What, no double date?
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were in Paris last night promoting Argo. Ben took his wife out for dinner after as they continue to put their romance on display in service of his Oscar campaign. Mrs. A is great at this job, a perfect politician's wife. Also in Paris, oh look!, JLo and her slum lover. Ben just told The Hollywood Reporter last week that he and JLo still speak and are on friendly terms. Unfortunately for us, not friendly enough to hook up a double. Whose ass to we have to kiss to make that happen? Can you imagine Jennifer Garner leaning across the table attempting to make small talk with Casper Smart?

A few weeks ago at the farmers' market I asked for a bunch of beets. The farmer grabbed a beautiful bunch: five crimson colored globes topped with remarkably long, red stalks and large, crisp leafy greens. I could practically taste them.
Then right in front of my eyes, before I could utter a word, he beheaded my beautiful beets and flung the greens into a dirty cardboard box with other sad, misfit vegetables.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"What? You didn't want them did you?" he asked, incredulous.
Didn't want them?! The beet greens are the best part.
It made me miss Carlos, the farmer from whom I bought beets all last year when we lived in LA. One Sunday when Carlos saw me coming, he ran from the table into the back of his van. He motioned me to follow him. When I reached the back of the van, he uncovered a big box full of fresh bunches of beet greens and flashed me a smile. "For me?" I asked. "For you, Miss."
I actually got a little welled up. In the midst of a bustling market, he thought to save me the beet greens and was less concerned with making extra money off of them than of making me happy.
Though no one could ever replace kind-hearted Carlos, I've met a new, super nice farmer, Sam. The first time I bought beets from Sam, I commented on how beautiful the beets greens were; he asked, "Would you like some more?"
"Really, are you sure you don't want them?" I asked.
"Yeah, you can have them," he said.
Imagine. Giving beet greens away. What is the world coming to?
If you've never cooked with beet greens, then you're in for a treat. They taste similar to Swiss chard (slightly earthy and nutty) and are a delicious alternative to spinach. Though they can be eaten raw in salads, I prefer them cooked, which softens their texture and draws out their flavor.
Beet greens are true health food: One cup of cooked beets greens is only 39 calories and provides 220% (that's not a typo) of your daily vitamin A (for healthy eyes, cells, skin, and hair) and 60% of your daily vitamin C (a health-promoting antioxidant). It's also full of other nutritious vitamins and minerals. See below for tips on selecting, storing, and cooking with beet greens.
Though you can use any type of pasta you prefer for this creamy goat cheese and beet green pasta, I bought freshly made fettucine from Assenti's Pasta here in Little Italy. With so few ingredients in this dish, the light and chewy fresh pasta really stands out. It bears little resemblance to the dried boxed variety. Plus the creamy goat cheese sauce clings deliciously to it as you twirl it on your fork.
Creamy Goat Cheese and Beet Green Pasta
Serves 4
Print recipe only here.
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
6 cups washed and sliced beet greens
1/2 pound fettucine (or other noodle)
1/2 cup heavy cream or half n' half
4 ounces goat cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons pistachios
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
To prepare the beet greens, cut off the thick stalks. Submerge greens in a large bowl of cool water to remove dirt. Drain, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Remove any tough inner stalks of the beet green leaves, then slice cross-wise into thin strips. Set aside.
In a deep, heavy pot, cook pasta in salted water according to directions, preferably al dente. If using fresh, it should cook within 3-5 minutes.
In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced beet greens, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the cream and goat cheese until well blended. Add to the skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until sauce begins to thicken slightly. Add fresh thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated. Divide among two plates; top with pistachios and extra grated cheese. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestion-- This pasta pairs well with spicy and fruity salads, such as:
- Wild arugula and blood orange salad with crispy proscuitto
- Sicilan salad of fennel, oranges, and olives
- Arugula, strawberry, and sugar snap pea salad
- Look for unwilted, green leaves with bright red spines. If they're shriveled or full of holes, then skip 'em.
- To prepare beet greens, cut off the thick stalks. Submerge greens in a large bowl of cool water to remove dirt. Drain, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Remove any tough inner stalks of the beet green leaves. Wrap loosely in paper towel and place in a Ziploc bag or an air-tight plastic container. They should last 2-3 days in the refrigerator this way. You can also remove the beet greens and store them unwashed in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, assuming they weren't too old when you purchased them.
- If you aren't going to use your beet greens right away, then clean them as usual and par-boil them by dropping them in boiling water for about 1 minute; remove and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Shocking the greens will keep them bright and beautiful. Drain, and store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Other delicious ways to enjoy beets greens:
- Thinly sliced and added raw to salads
- Sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and placed on crostini with goat or blue cheese
- Added to vegetable soups and stews
- Added to frittatas with cheese such as ricotta, Parmesan, or goat
- Simply sauteed in olive oil and garlic, then topped with raisins and toasted pine nuts
- Creamed with milk or heavy cream, butter, flour, and nutmeg
You might also like these pasta dishes:
- Pasta with creamy saffron sauce, shrimp, and peas
- Wild rocket pasta
- Tagliatelle with pan seared shrimp and fennel
- Pasta with lemony broccoli, walnuts, and toasted breadcrumbs

I've been thinking a lot about friends and the meaning of friendship lately; I think it is a matter of timing for me. When I left my home and marriage and started hiking and traveling, I also left some good friends behind. Some of these were work related. That is, I had a group of people I socialized with at work and also with whom I frequently ate lunch. Some of these I have remained in contact with to this time. A few I consider very good friends, even though they live over a thousand miles away.
I have met a lot of people hiking, who were interested in what I was doing, and wanted to help me along the way, but this was a very special situation. I've been invited into homes, stores, fed, offered water by field workers as well as hunters, had cars stop to offer me a rest in their air conditioned car, and given the key to their house. I've stopped at churches asking for a place to throw a tent and been shown the guest room, been driven into towns for resupply and burgers, been taken to fiddle concerts and on and on and on.
These relationships gradually slipped into the past, except for a few hiker friendships, which I still have. Letting these go has been a painful experience, which I experienced as a loss, but it's like trying to hold on to quicksilver. Now, I have been in the same place for almost three years and starting to develop new acquaintances. I am wondering how acquaintances slip into something closer, when the relationship becomes a friendship, and just what is the difference.
At the bottom of emails I receive from one person I think of as a friend (at least a developing friend), I took this saying, "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." However, that doesn't seem to go far enough. I've looked 'friendship' up on the Internet and it seems others have a hard time defining it also.
One writer thought friendship is all about how much you care and understand each other, about talking, and listening. Another writer wrote that a true friendship is not defined by a huge number of friends but by someone who cares enough to hold you and stand by you in all phases of life. It is also someone for whom you would do the same. The writer went on to say that finding a good friend from among acquaintances would be a very hard task. So far I have realized that a friend does not have to have the same interests or life views that you do. One morning I was surprised by a question from the woman who exercises on the mat next to me. We do not share the same political views, for example, nor read the same books, but when she discovered I was moving to a different apartment, asked if I needed help.
Wikipedia defines a friendship as the cooperative and supportive relationship between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship, which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. These are some of my favorite quotes from the website answerbag.com:
FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
REAL FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.
FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry.
REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you.
FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget its yours.
FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door.
REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say "I'M HOME!"
FAKE FRIENDS: Are for a while.
REAL FRIENDS: Are for life.
These are just some of my thoughts and questions. I would love to hear yours.

Investors in
The call contract at the $30.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.00. If an investor was to purchase shares of HDS stock at the current price level of $29.69/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $30.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 4.41% if the stock gets called away at the February 2015 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if HDS shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for HD Supply Holdings Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing HDS's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $30.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $30.00 strike represents an approximate 1% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 51%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.37% boost of extra return to the investor, or 23.64% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.

The implied volatility in the call contract example above is 30%. Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 252 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $29.69) to be 28%.

Treatment of psoriasis is usually a series of steps, called the 1-2-3 approach, which may be added to each other, and entail:
Step 1—Topical: Medication applied directly to the surface of the skin
Step 2—Phototherapy: Phototherapy (light treatment) using ultraviolet light or sunlight alone or in combination with medication if medication alone does not improve symptoms
Step 3—Systemic: Medications taken internally (usually oral medication) to treat psoriasis systemically if topical medications and/or phototherapy do not improve symptoms
Your treatment will be based on several factors, including:
- The severity of the disease
- The extent and location of the areas involved

Title: To'hajiilee
*Lydia, Todd, Kenny, and Jack stare down at the liquid meth as it drips into the pan*
Jack: How big's a batch?
Todd: Should be about fifty pounds, give or take.
*Jack and Kenny remove their masks*
Todd: Uncle Jack, that mask. I think you should...Mr. White said the fumes aren't good to breathe.
Jack: Yeah, let me worry 'bout what I breathe, kid. Just hurry this up so I can grab a smoke.
*Kenny and Jack both look at Lydia. The tension is palpable. Todd takes a dropper and examines his product*
Todd: 76%.
Jack: Nice going, nephew.
Todd: Thanks, Uncle Jack.
Lydia: Where's the blue?
Jack: Where's the what?
Lydia: The blue color, does it come later when this hardens? Where is it?
*Lydia removes her mask*
Lydia: I am correct in assuming this should be blue?
Jack: See, I'm thinking the headline here should be: 76%.
Kenny: Yeah. A whole lot more than it was. That dude who looked like Wolverine? He couldn't crack seventy.
Lydia: Fine. Yes. Percentage-wise, it's marginally improved. And congratulations Todd, but blue is our brand. Over in Europe, it's what our buyers pay top dollar for. If we're down a bit of impurity from the Heisenberg days, maybe they'll let us slide on that. Not if it's not blue.
Jack: I don't know, to my eye, it's kinda blue.
Kenny: A little. It's bluish.
Jack: Toddy, you're the chef. What do you think?
Todd: Yeah, kinda. If it catches the light just right I could see how you'd think there's a touch of blue, blue-green in there.
Kenny: Aquamarine.
Jack: Hell, we'll put food coloring in it, make it any damn shade you want.
Kenny: Yeah, like they do farm-raised salmon. I mean, Jesus, you ever see how pink they make that crap? Like flamingo pink. Sure as hell don't come out the ocean lookin' like that.
Jack: Alright, let's make some money.
*Lydia looks at herself in the mirror. Todd walks over and hands her a cup of tea*
Todd: Here you go, Ms. Quayle.
Lydia: Lydia. Thank you.
Todd: Is the tea okay? I made it just like you asked.
Lydia: Mmhmm.
Todd: You sure? If it's too weak or something, I could go put another bag in.
Lydia: I'm sure.
Todd: Look, about the product. I'm really sorry about the color. For a minute or two it just got a few degrees too hot in the mixing kettle and I might've just cooked the color right out of it.
Lydia: You burned it? Like a cake?
Todd: Yeah, sorta, I guess. The point is, I think I can fix it and I think I can bring purity up too. I mean, I'm doing everything just like Mr. White taught me, so it's bound to get better, right?
Lydia: I appreciate you making every possible effort because, as you know, my buyers expect a certain threshold, a continuity.
Todd: Yeah, yeah, totally. About buyers. I could ask my uncle to smooth things over with them. If you want.
Lydia: I'll pass, thanks. I've put a lot of faith in your abilities, Todd. I believe in you. Please do make the cook better. It's very important to me.
*Lydia looks down at her watch*
Lydia: I've got a flight to catch.
*As Lydia walks away, Todd looks down at the cup he's holding. Lydia's lipstick is still on the cup. Todd rubs his finger against the edge of her lip print slowly. His cellphone goes off*
Todd: Hello?
Walt: Hey, it's Walt.
Todd: Hey Mr. White, how are you doin'?
Walt: I'm doin' okay. I, umm, Todd. I think I might have another job for your uncle.
Todd: Oh okay, umm, you want me to set up another meeting?
Walt: Yes, please do that.
Todd: Any heads up I should give him, like, which jail, how many targets, stuff like that? ...Mr. White?
Walt: Just one target, not currently in jail. Jesse Pinkman.
Todd: You got it.
*Todd hangs up the phone and takes a sip of the tea*
*Hank paces back and forth. A car pulls up and Gomez steps out. He walks over to Hank while staring at Jesse*
Gomez: I'm surprised you didn't strangle him. Now what? Book him? I'm sure the AUSA will have plenty to say about how to play him against Walt.
Hank: Now knowing what we know about how Walt deals with rats behind bars?
Gomez: Eh, punk has to be safer with marshals watching his back than out here where it's open season.
*Hank grunts*
Gomez: What does that mean? What are you thinkin'?
Hank: Kid's got an idea.
Gomez: What kid? That kid? Timmy Dipshit there? The one that screwed up our sting? Oh, I'm all ears.
Hank: Just, uh, hear him out.
*Hank and Gomez walk toward Hank's car. Gomez taps on the window. Jesse rolls down the window*
Gomez: Okay genius, what's the idea?
Jesse: You guys need evidence to put him away, only he's too smart to leave any out there, right?
Gomez: So you say.
Jesse: Well, I know some evidence that greedy asshole would never destroy.
Hank: His money.
Gomez: You know where he keeps his money?
Jesse: No, but I know someone who might.
*Gomez walks into Hank's house carrying a brown paper bag*
Hank: Gomie, hey, how'd it go?
Gomez: Trailed him to the dog house, picked him up there. Seemed to be looking for someone, had a lot of questions.
Hank: No calls though, right? You got his phone?
*Gomez hands Hank Huell's cell phone*
Hank: He's on ice?
Gomez: Safe house off Vurybravo. We got Van Oster sitting him.
Hank: Yeah, what about Van Oster, did he have any questions?
Gomez: Probably, but he knows better than to ask.
Hank: Good job.
Gomez: I'm gonna tell you this upfront, Hank. This guy decides that he wants to lawyer up? I don't care if you are my boss, I'm gonna put a stop to this.
Hank: He won't lawyer up.
*Hank reaches into the brown paper bag Gomez brought in and takes out a package of brains. He looks around the room and opens the package, then drops it on the floor. Jesse stands up, grossed out*
Jesse: What the hell, man?
*Hank reaches down and grabs half the brain off the ground. He then grabs the container the brains were in and pours some blood over the brains on the ground. He rearranges the brains*
Hank: You're up.
*There's a knock at the door. Van Oster gets up and opens it*
Hank: Hey, there. Wanna take it outside for a minute.
Van Oster: Yes sir, you got it.
Hank: Thanks.
*Hank and Gomez walk inside as Van Oster leaves*
Hank: Huell Babineaux. Know who I am? I'll take that as a yes. Thanks for your patience.
*Hank sits down across from Huell*
Hank: As, uh, Agent Gomez said, you're not under arrest.
Huell: Why am I here?
Hank: Well, you're here, umm, for your own protection.
Huell: How you figure that?
Hank: Well, we all know how dangerous my brother-in-law can be.
*Huell is unresponsive*
Hank: Nice poker face. Look, relax, there's not much new you can tell me about Walter White. Multiple murders, ties to white power prison gangs, ran the largest meth racket in the entire southwest. I'm not asking, you're not answering, whoop dee doo. Let's cut to the chase. We have a wire on Walt's phone. We intercepted a call between him and a certain Saul Goodman Esquire. You know, your employer. Anyway, in the call, Walt said that he was going to, quote, "Take care of one Jesse Pinkman," unquote, and that you were next on the hit list. That's why you're here.
Huell: Bullshit. That don't make no sense.
Hank: I got the recording, I can, I can let you hear it. Your associate, Goodman's fixer, *to Gomez* what's his name?
Gomez: Some carrot-top named Patrick Kuby. Boston PD ran him out of Beantown few years back, came out here for the sunshine.
Hank: Yeah, Walt said that he was gonna do this Kuby guy the same way he does you. In fact, Kuby's already "missing." Sorry to say, things are looking grim for your red-headed buddy. Believe us, don't believe us, suit yourself. Whatever you do, I would not call Goodman. He sold you down the river big time.
Huell: The hell are you talkin' about?
Gomez: Oh, don't take it personally. Goodman's an excellent chopping block if he doesn't do what White says.
Hank: And to be fair, your circus clown of a boss did try to spare you for all of, what, about fifteen seconds before he decided to help Walt track you down. See, Goodman's got a trace on your phone, and as soon as you call him, Walt's gonna find out where you're hiding out and it's just a matter of time before you end up like this.
*Hank shows Huell his phone and on it is a picture of Jesse Pinkman lying on the ground next to the brains Hank had put there earlier*
Huell: Oh, man! Oh, man, I swear to God I ain't know he was gon' kill him, man! I ain't know he was gonna kill him! I didn't know!
Hank: Relax.
Huell: I didn't know he was gonna kill him.
Hank: If you did, you'd be in lockup for conspiracy to commit murder instead of here under our protection.
Gomez: So just tell us everything you know about White so we can get him before he gets you.
Huell: Why would he wanna kill me? I ain't do nothing to him.
Hank: Who knows with this guy. From what he said to Goodman, it may have something to do with him trying to tie up loose ends regarding him poisoning some kid named Brock. Or maybe...it's because you know where his money is.
Huell: I don't know where his money is.
Gomez: That ain't what we heard.
Huell: Well, you ain't listen to the people in the know. Me and Kuby rented a van for the dude, loaded his cash up in a self-storage unit, handed over the keys to him and Goodman, and who knows where he took it from there.
Hank: A van, huh? How much money we talkin'?
Huell: Seven barrels worth.
Hank: Seven barrels?
*Huell nods*
Hank: When you say "barrels," you mean...barrels barrels? Like...
Huell: Barrels, man. You know, plastic, black, fifty-five gallon type. I got 'em at Home Depot. Filled up every last damn one of 'em too.
Hank: And uh, where did you rent the van?
Huell: Larriot. The one on Candlearia and Monroe?
Hank: *to Gomez* Larriot. Candlearia?
Huell: Yeah! Kuby rented the van, Mr. White dropped it off. He had us wash it good before Kuby took it back.
Hank: Wash the rental? Why?
Huell: It was filthy, man, like he'd went off-road with it. After we had hosed it down, he grabbed a shovel out the back, handed over the keys, and that was it, that's all I know.
Hank: Alright, Mr. Babineaux. Agent Gomez and I are going to do everything we can to find this son of a bitch. Meantime, like I said, you're free to go. But if I were you, I wouldn't take one step out that door.
Gomez: And remember, no phone calls.
Hank: Oh, I almost forgot. I took the liberty of removing the battery so Walt can't track you by GPS. Don't put that back in. Agent Van Oster will stay here with you, you're in good hands. He's our best man with a gun. However, don't discuss the case with him because the less you distract him, the better he can protect you.
Huell: How long you gon' be?
Hank: As long as it takes to keep you safe.
*Hank and Gomez exit while Huell sits there with a confused look on his face*
Jack: So just one guy this time? Not even in lockup? Some former partner, Todd says.
Walt: Yeah.
Jack: So what are we talking about, rat patrol?
Walt: Rat p—no, no. Rat patrol? No, no, he's not a rat. He's just...he just...won't listen to reason.
Jack: Okay.
Walt: He's just angry. *to Todd* He's not a rat.
Jack: Angry, non-rat. Got it. How angry we talkin', by the way, like, Hulk-angry, like Rambo, James Bond, badass individuals?
*Todd shakes his head while smiling*
Jack: *more seriously* Not something you'd do yourself, huh?
Walt: Jesse is like family to me. Look, I want what you do to be quick and painless. No suffering. No fear.
Jack: Bullet to the back of the head, something he doesn't see coming. I respect that. There's too many savages out there.
Walt: Let's just talk about the money.
Jack: I don't want your money. We want you to cook for us.
*Walt looks back at Todd in disbelief*
Walt: You know I'm out of the business?
Jack: Just a couple times, you're teaching my nephew here, that's all. Get him on track to bring the purity up. Get the color right too. Apparently that blue touch you put on it's all the craze to those Slavic types. So I'm told.
Walt: No. Absolutely not. Look, what was the price per head last time? I'll triple it.
Jack: It's a drop in the bucket compared to what we aim to earn from the blue stuff. Don't skimp up family, that's what I always say. You want us to do this job, do it right, that's the price.
Walt: One cook. After the job is done.
*Jack stands up and puts his hand out to shake Walt's. Walt stands up and shakes Jack's hand*
Walt: Time is of the essence, do you understand?
Jack: We could do it tonight if you want. Just tell me where he is.
Walt: I don't know where he is. But I know how to flush him out.
*Brock is sitting at the table eating breakfast while Andrea is packing his lunch*
Andrea: You want string cheese or yogurt squeezers with your PBJ?
Brock: Both.
Andrea: I didn't hear you?
Brock: Both, please.
*There's a knock at the door*
Andrea: *as she goes to answer the door* Hold on, honey.
Walt: Hi, Andrea, I don't know if you remember me. I'm Walter White? Jesse's friend?
Andrea: Oh yeah, yeah, of course, hi.
Walt: Oh hi, hi, I'm sorry to just barge in on you like this, but uh, I was hoping I could have a moment to talk with you about Jesse?
Andrea: Umm, okay sure, but I'm sort of rushing around right now, you wanna talk inside while I get my boy ready for school?
Walt: Uh, yeah, if it's okay. Thank you.
*Walt follows Andrea inside*
Andrea: You've met Brock before, right?
Walt: Yes. Yes I have, at Jesse's. *to Brock* How you doin', Brock?
*Brock looks up at Walt then back at his cereal box*
Andrea: Brock, he asked you a question.
Brock: I'm good.
Walt: Good. Fruit Loops! That's good stuff.
Andrea: So, Jesse.
Walt: I, I don't want to alarm you, but I've been trying to reach him for days. I stopped at his house, I've left all kinds of messages on his voicemail. And he won't return my calls, I can't find him anywhere. Have you heard from him?
Andrea: No, not since the last time he called to check on Brock. That was, I don't know, two weeks ago, maybe.
Walt: Andrea. Jesse's using again and I have a bad feeling about this.
Andrea: Have you tried calling the police?
*Walt looks away*
Andrea: Or umm, a better idea. Jesse's lawyer's name is Saul Goodman. I have his card somewhere, I mean, he may have ways of finding Jesse, you know, without getting him in trouble.
Walt: Better call Saul! Yeah, I did that. He was able to verify that Jesse's not locked up, but otherwise. Very little help. See, the thing is that Jesse and I had this argument recently and I, I won't bore you with the details, but uh. He's, he's-he's pretty upset with me. And umm, and I'm hoping that's the reason he hasn't called me back instead of him being...well.
Andrea: Well, I'll try him right now. If that's it, he's mad at you, maybe I'll have better luck.
Walt: That will be such a help, yes. What, umm, what-what number are you calling?
Andrea: His cell.
Walt: Oh, he recently got a new one and there. That's his new number there that's highlighted.
*Walt looks over at Brock while Andrea dials the number*
Andrea: Jesse! It's Andrea. Your friend Walter just dropped by, he's here at the house with me and Brock right now. We, umm, we're thinking of you. Call me back as soon as you get this message, okay? I really need to hear back from you. It's important.
Walt: Thank you, Andrea. I appreciate that. Well, I better, I better be going.
Andrea: Oh, you're welcome to stay a few minutes to see if he calls back.
Walt: No, no, you're trying to get your son off to school. Listen, if he does call back, would you call me? Better yet, I've got your number, I'll call you back. Okay? And thank you.
*Walt leaves the kitchen to go outside*
Walt: See you, Brock.
*Walt leaves Andrea's and crosses the street to his car. He looks down the street at another car that has two Neo-Nazis in it. He picks up his phone and calls them*
Kenny: We on?
Walt: Yes. Should be any time now.
Kenny: Copy that.
Walt: Remember. Fast and painless and take him away from here, I don't want the mother or the boy to know.
Kenny: You got it.
*Jesse's phone goes off as he gets a voicemail. Hank picks it up and listens to it. It's the message from Andrea. He hangs up the phone and starts to walk back into his house*
Hank: Nice try, asshole.
*As Hank enters, Jesse and Gomez get up*
Gomez: How'd it go at the rental place? Guy have a GPS?
Hank: No GPS. Nope. They used to have GPS until about six months ago. The ACLU or somebody sued 'em, they had to get rid of 'em.
*Hank sighs and both him and Jesse are upset about the news*
Gomez: Well, that's it. Game over.
Jesse: Yo. Hey, you can't just give up on this.
Hank: Who said we're giving up?
Gomez: What do you got?
Hank: Just thinking about what Babineaux said about the van being dirty and the shovel that Walt had with him. I bet you ten to one that he buried that money.
Gomez: No kidding. So what? There's a whole lot of desert out there, how are we gonna find the right spot? You said it yourself, there's no GPS on the van.
Hank: Yeah. Walt doesn't know that.
*Hank looks over at Jesse*
*Junior opens up the cash register at A1 Car Wash*
Junior: Alright. There's your change.
Skyler: Oh, uh, count it out, please.
Junior: Alright, three, that makes fifteen, plus five, that is twenty. Give this to your car wash professional.
Car wash woman: Thank you.
Skyler: Say it.
Junior: Have an A1 day!
Car wash woman: Oh, you too.
Skyler: Good.
Junior: Why do I, why do I gotta say that?
Skyler: Because it reinforces our brand. So, getting the hang of it?
Junior: It's pretty basic.
*Skyler sighs and smiles*
Junior: Mom, it's Saturday. Can I go?
Skyler: Go where?
Junior: Home. Pick up a few things, maybe chill for a little bit? I'm sure the smell is gone by now.
Skyler: Why don't you just stick around here for a little while longer, alright? I need you.
Saul: Hi. Who do I give this to?
Skyler: Umm, you know what? I'll take care of it. Excuse me, son. That'll be $14.97 please.
*Junior looks at Saul excitedly while Skyler takes Saul's money and uses the cash register*
Saul: *to Junior* Hey, how you doin'?
Junior: You're on our billboard. You're the lawyer guy!
Saul: Yeah, better call Saul!
*Walt quickly enters the car wash lobby holding Holly. He and Saul share an awkward look at each other*
Skyler: *clears throat* Okay. So, three makes fifteen, and twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, and ten makes fifty. Thank you.
Junior: I like your commercial. What happened to your face?
Saul: Uh, this is, uh, guess you'd call it an occupational hazard.
Skyler: Okay, so thank you, and please give that to your car wash professional.
Saul: Very good, thank you very much. *to Junior* Good to meet you. Don't drink and drive, but if you do...call me.
Junior: *laughing* Have an A1 day! *to Skyler* Mom, you forgot to say it.
Skyler: Yeah. Yeah, I did. Okay.
Saul: *to car wash guy* Make sure you get in there between the cushions, alright? That's it, way in there. Thata boy.
Walt: What the hell are you doing here?
Saul: Swear to God, the kid left so much booger powder in there, my Caddy is a K9 unit's wet dream.
Walt: Is your phone broken? All 200 of them?
Saul: Huell's gone.
Walt: Huell's gone where?
Saul: No idea, AWOL. Nobody's seen him, he's not answering his phone. So what about Jesse?
Walt: He hasn't shown up yet...he will, Saul. He's probably high as a kite somewhere and hasn't gotten our message yet.
Saul: Or he got it loud and clear and figured out it's a setup, the kid is not as dumb as you think.
*Skyler watches Walt and Saul from inside the car wash. Walt opens Saul's suit jacket*
Walt: Are you wearing a bulletproof vest?
Saul: Did you miss the part about my bodyguard has gone missing? Look, I had him watchin' the dog house figuring the kid might show up for a fix. Next thing I know, radio silence. You're the math whiz, add up two and two.
Walt: Jesse is not on some killing spree. It's me he wants. It's just me.
Saul: Well then where the hell's Huell?
*Walt goes back into the car wash*
Skyler: Any news?
Walt: Not yet, but soon. I promise.
Junior: *in background* Have an A1 day.
*Skyler walks over to Junior to continue teaching him what to do. Walt stands by the window surveying the area, holding his hand over his pocket. He looks over at his family*
Skyler: *to Junior* Ten pine-scented air fresheners. You mark ten under this column and then you subtract ten from the actual stock column, here. Okay? Why don't you try that.
*Walt gets a text message. It's an image of a barrel of money in the ground. His phone rings*
Walt: Jesse?
Jesse: Got my photo, bitch? That barrel look familiar? 'Cause I just found six more exactly like it.
*Walt rushes out of the car wash and to his car*
Jesse: That big bastard who works for Goodman? I pistol-whipped that melon he calls a head 'til he gave up what he knew, which led me to your rental van, which it turns out had GPS. How do you like that, genius? Guess you didn't think of everything.
Walt: Look. Jesse, I don't know what you plan on doing here, but-
Jesse: Well, I'll give you a hint, Walt. It involves a couple five-gallon cans of gasoline and a lighter.
Walt: Nonononononono! Jesse, please. Listen to me.
Jesse: No, you listen to me, bitch! You get your ass out here as fast as you can.
Walt: Yes. I'm coming, okay? Okay!
Jesse: And don't even think about calling anyone for help, alright? You hang up on me, put me on hold, lose my call for any reason, as soon as you do I'm burning all of it. Alright, one big bonfire. You get the picture?
Walt: I get it, I get it. Okay.
Jesse: Alright, well you better hurry, 'cause I'm burning ten grand a minute until you get here. Starting right now.
Walt: I said, I'm coming! Don't you touch my money!
Jesse: Fire in the hole, bitch! There goes ten Gs. Oh, nice orange flames.
Walt: NonononoNO!
*Walt is racing in his car to get to his money*
Walt: Jesse. Jesse, please. I'm dying. My cancer is back. You're not hurting anyone but my family. Okay? I can't spend this money. It's not for me, I won't be around long enough to use it. It belongs to my children.
Jesse: Oh, you're gonna talk about kids. You're seriously gonna go there?
Walt: I am sorry about Brock.
Jesse: No, you're not.
Walt: I am-
Jesse: You're not! But you're gonna be.
Walt: Yes, I am sorry about Brock! But he's alive, isn't he? He's fine, just as I planned it. Don't you think I knew exactly how much to give him? That I had it all measured out. Come on, don't you know me by now?
Jesse: I know you're a lying, evil scumbag. That's what I know. Manipulating people. Messing with their heads.
Walt: Open your eyes! Can't you see that I needed you on my side to kill Gus. I ran over those gang-bangers. I killed Emilio and Krazy 8. Why? I did all of those things to try to save your life as much as mine. Only you're too stupid to know it...Jesse...Jesse!...Jesse, talk to me...Jesse! Jesse, I didn't hang up. Jesse!
*Walt arrives at his money's burial ground*
Walt: Jesse? Jesse, I'm here. Where are you?!
*Walt gets out of his car and cocks his pistol. He stands up and looks around. He runs over to a bush and looks around. He looks down at his phone and hangs it up*
Walt: Son of a bitch.
*Walt takes the battery out of his phone and kicks it*
Walt: Son of a bitch!
*Walt runs over to higher ground. He coughs and sits down. He looks out at the road as an SUV approaches*
Walt: No. No...no no no!
*He climbs back down and runs to his car. He picks up his cell phone and goes to hide behind a rock in the distance. He puts his phone back together and turns it on to make a call*
Walt: Come on, come on.
*Jack's phone rings*
Jack: Yeah?
Walt: It's me. I've got Jesse in sight and he's coming for me right now. He knows I'm alone. I'm guessing he's got backup.
Jack: How many guys?
Walt: I don't know.
Jack: Where are you?
Walt: To'hajiilee. Indian reservation west of town. Get a pen.
Jack: Go.
Walt: Okay. Okay. 34-59-20 106-36-52. Those are coordinates. If you want me around to cook for you, you get here right now!
Jack: Got it.
Walt: As fast as you can. Wait. They're coming. It looks like there could be three men total…wait a minute.
Jack: What? What is it?
*The SUV stops and Hank, Gomez, and Jesse step out*
Hank: *to Jesse* Stay in the car.
Jack: Walter, what is it? Walter, you still there? Walter? Walter you got eyes on him? What do you see? Walter, talk to me!
Walt: Forget it. Don't come.
Jack: What do you mean, don't come?
Walt: It's off, do not come.
*Walt hangs the phone up. Hank, Gomez, and Jesse walk around surveying the area*
Hank: Walt! Come on out! Walt! Walt! We know you're out here! It's over! Walt! Come on out Walt!
*Hank looks around*
Hank: Got him.
*He lifts his gun. Walt walks out from behind the rock in the distance. He stands and looks over at Hank, Gomez, and Jesse*
Hank: Drop it!
*Walt drops his pistol*
Hank: Hands up!
*Walt puts his hands up*
Hank: Walk towards me slowly.
*Walt walks towards Hank. Hank makes his way towards Walt*
Hank: Stop. Turn around. Place your fingers behind your head. Walk backwards to me. Stop. Get on your knees.
*Gomez approaches Walt while Hank walks over to cuff him. Hank lifts him off the ground and turns him around. Gomez hands Hank his shotgun and pats Walt down*
Hank: How'd you like my barrel photo, huh? Took it in the backyard by the barbecue grill? You know, where we used to cookout with the family. Gomie, here, thought the dirt might not match, but me, I bet your greedy ass would be so worked up with the prospect of losing your cash that you wouldn't catch it. Looks like I was right.
Gomez: He's clean.
Jesse: Yo, I remember this place. It's the very first place we cooked, like, ever. It is. Isn't it?
Hank: Hey, let's say you save us the busywork, Walt? Point out the spot where you buried your money. No? No matter. I'll get a search team out here. We'll find it. *to Gomez* Agent Gomez. Should we flip a coin for the honors?
Gomez: No way, man, it's all yours.
Hank: Walter White. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you at the government's expense. Do you understand these rights as I just recited them to you?
Walt: *to Jesse* Coward.
*Jesse walks over to Walt and spits in his face. Walt charges at Jesse and pins him against the SUV*
Hank: Get over here! Get in the truck will ya! *to Gomez* Put him in the car!
Jesse: Come on!
Hank: Get in the car. Hurry up, get in.
Gomez: Get in the car, kid! Come on!
*Jesse gets into Walt's car*
Hank: I'll take him down for booking, okay? I think you should stay here until I come back with a search team.
Gomez: You got it.
Hank: I'd take the kid with me, but they'd probably kill each other on the way.
Gomez: Congratulations, buddy.
Hank: Hey.
*Hank shakes Gomez's hand*
Hank: I'll call the tribal police on the way out, let them know we're here. I'm gonna go make a phone call.
*Hank takes out his cell phone and makes a call. Marie opens up the garbage can and looks at the brains in disgust. Her phone rings*
Marie: Hank? Why is there what looks like brains in our garbage can?
Hank: Hey, baby. I got him. Dead to rights.
Marie: You got Walt?
Hank: Yeah. I got him handcuffed as we speak. Want me to wave to him for ya?
*Hank waves to Walt who is in the back of his SUV*
Hank: Yeah, well, he's not feelin' too friendly.
Marie: Oh my God. You did it! Thank God.
Hank: Things are gonna be a little rough the next couple of weeks, but they'll get better. Baby, you okay?
Marie: I'm much better now.
Hank: I gotta go. It may be a while before I get home. I love you.
Marie: I love you too.
*Hank hangs up the phone. Walt looks in the rearview mirror and sees a truck and a car approaching*
Gomez: Who the hell is this? Tribal police?
Walt: Hank! Hank! Hank! No.
*Todd, Jack, and the Neo-Nazis step out of the car, fully armed*
Hank: Police! Drop your weapons.
Walt: Jack! Don't do it! Jack!
Hank: Drop. Your. Weapons!
Gomez: You heard the man, put 'em down!
Jack: How do we know you're cops? Show us some ID!
Kenny: Damn straight! Let's see some badges!
Walt: Jack! Jack, don't do it! Jack! No, Jack, it's off! Jack!
Jack: We'll give ourselves up if you show us some badges! Simple as that! How 'bout it?
Walt: No! Jack! Jack! Jack! It's off! Forget it! Jack!
*Jack looks over at Kenny and he starts firing. Everyone starts shooting everyone. Walt dives down under the seat*

Its important to keep the paint clean from imperfections when it goes in the gun, and when it goes on the car. Eastwood has filters to make sure no bugs or dirt makes it into your gun. We've also got mixing cups specially labeled to make sure your two stage paint and activator get mixed in the perfect ratios. Spraying metallics, pearls or metal flake?

I have come to decide that the key to a happy long lasting relationship is communication. So I am effectively communicating with my TV via the remote control and a bowl of popcorn.
Thus earnestly employed, when my too kind and loving wife who has been reading some magazine looks up just long enough to say, "Do you know? It says here that women use about 7,000 words a day whereas men only use about 2,000."
"Don't you think that means something? I mean why would we need to use so many words? And why don't men use more?"
I am thinking that she is not really talking to me; that this question is a rhetorical question of sorts. But then there is a prolonged silence, followed by a sigh, so I look up from my TV and it is now apparent that she is waiting for some sort of intelligent response so I give her a reassuring, "Mm-mmmmm."
She continues, "Well I don't know for sure, but you know, sometimes... I think it is because you are never listening... so then I have to repeat myself. That could account for 50 percent of the extra words I use. And then Daniel never does what I say the first time so I almost always have to repeat myself. If I have said 'scrape it, rinse it, put it in the dishwasher' once, I've said it a million times. It makes me sound like a broken record... you know I bet that is it, I swear that I am always repeating myself... are you listening?"
I don't look up but send out a reassuring, "Uh-huhhhhhh!"
I learned this technique in my active listening course. I look up to make eye contact, the instructor says that body language like that helps the listener be engaged and appear sincere; besides it is a commercial anyway.
She continues, "Well I think it means something. How else could you account for the huge difference? Basically we are awake the same number of hours in a day so how come women use so many more words?"
I am thinking... and am prepared to offer up one keen observation. "Well cuz women never shut up for starters... maybe that's why women use so many dang more words... they just keep talking, even when people are already employed or it is time to go home."
For example, have you noticed that when the women go for their morning power walk that even though they have talked for well over an hour; when they get to the corner, they have to stop and talk for another 15 minutes? What could they possibly be talking about?
When men run together and get to the corner, most of the times they just peel off and go home. No words said. Maybe, a "see ya" and a "yup".
But, I don't make this keen observation because I don't think she will think it is so insightful. Besides, I read "Listening for Dummies", which cautioned against blurting out the most apparent and obvious answer to a question. So I raise my eye brows and smile creating an animated and interested look.
"Really????? Uh-huhhhhh....mmmm."
"Are you really interested?"
No matter how strong the urge is change the channel and see what is on the other ESPN channel, I assure her, "Ohhh... yaaahhh... Mm-mmmmm... Uh-huhhh!!"
"Okay, cuz I know sometimes you just say that. You know, sometimes I tell my one sister something, then when I get together with my other sister I have to tell her the same story and the first sister doesn't ever seem to mind. And then when we go visit mom... well I tell her the same story and neither sister seems to mind that I have to start over from the beginning to tell her the same story... You don't think that is weird, do you?"
My first thought is "Weird, I should say weird."
But then it dawns on me there was some dummy following women around for the entire day counting up words. For heck sakes, what federal agency funded that?
Then I have a bright thought, maybe we could just install word counters on people once they hit their word allotment people could just say, "hold on there you have used up your 7,000 words for the day, so shut 'er down, we'll finish this conversation tomorrow."
"Well, good. I don't want you to think I am weird. But, it stills seems strange that women would use so many more words per day than men. You know you should really work on that. I mean, think how meaningful our relationship would be if we could both communicate effectively."
With one eye on the game and one on my too kind and loving wife I offer a sincere, "Yupppp..... Mm-mmmmm... Uh-huhhhhh... Yup."
