-- Hm. [Chilton glanced at Walt's particular jacket the moment it was mentioned, eying that shade of blue. Walter was a chemist, wasn't he? He of all people would appreciate the impact of chemical reactions, the transformations in acidity and biological effect, the compounding, and the coloring. Walter White had come here to negotiate, but with money rather than violence. He was offering a treaty, not a threat.

Perhaps blue represented the sort of person Walt remembered he could be, before guns and burner mobiles.]

I wouldn't underestimate how loquacious the subconscious is, Walter. Every minute decision is made because of motivation, because you want something on some level. How important that motivation is, well, that's what I'll determine.

[He offered a halfway smile, his left cheek pinching with that curl of lip.]

Natural events are chaotic. Human beings? We function on thoughts and desires, stimulated even at the most essential biochemical level. It was never just nature or nurture. Surely you can appreciate that.
