[Chilton knew it was useless to demonstrate the hypocrisy that Walt wove. He knew it to be a futile argument, a wormhole leading to more spiraled arguments and nothing more. So instead he asked:] And you've taken it upon yourself to punish me? To what, teach me responsibility? Are you to discipline a disciplinarian?
[Framed in the wording of a power game. A paternal power game, even.]
Contacting Will is a move against me. [And Chilton did not doubt that Walt had instigated other moves; the man was hasty and rash, and Chilton had already underestimated him once. That wasn't going to happen again.] Regardless of how you try to redefine "move" when it's applied from you to me.
Why do you want to resume treatment, Walter? Honestly. You don't like psychiatric help. You aren't seeing me for your health, it seems.
[The real underpinning question: was this Lucifer's influence, or not?]
