[And this is what happens to Saul when Walter Fucking White comes up.
He's tired. Every time he has to have this conversation, he loses a little more energy. For someone like him — someone who's used to running on maximum almost 24/7, someone who keeps on keeping on no matter what — saying what he just said and doing what he just did is admitting vulnerability he'd rather pretend isn't even there. He's too resilient for this shit.
But he'd agree; it's weirdly nice to let his guard down, even if this only lasts for a few minutes.
For now, though, he remains as is, staring ahead.]
I can't abandon him. [Beat.] I'm sorry you got dragged into this.
