Remember the “What’s my name?” scene? Also, to play Walter, Bryan Cranston had to study a lot of “lines” and delivered them to Anna Gunn’s “face.” It’s as if Dylan were in the Breaking Bad writers’ room. I muttered something underneath my breath Getting kicked out of the house by Skyler, many threats by Gus, getting Hank killed: nothing but dues-paying thanks to the tangly blue meth. “Lord knows I’ve paid some dues getting through Which isn’t meth, but a band called “Crazy Meth” would be too on the nose.)įor a couple of hours, on a beautiful day” (Side note: Neil Young played with Crazy Horse, and people get crazy when they’re on “horse,” slang for heroin.
