Walter's family spends time at home without their father. Walter is woken up by the Beaver, which is on his hand, and they talk about saving his life.
ICONIC QUOTE:
"Wake up, you worthless sod. Bloody hell. Look at you. Stone-drunk and flattened by a television. That's quite an obituary you're working up for yourself, Walter."
"Leave me alone."
No. Can't do that. You don't want that. 'Cause I'm the only one what knows how you really feel. Everybody needs a friend, Walter. And you've got me. That's why you read all them useless self-help books.
Chicken Soup, Positive Thinking, How to Win Friends. Which one has the chapter about dropping the telly on your head?
"I'm sick."
"Yeah, Walt. On that, we agree. The question is, do you want to get better?"
I can't.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're depressed."
"Yeah."
"Lethargic. Anhedonia. Wake up! Books and pills. They're cotton candy.
You've seen too many home-improvement shows. You think you can just
splash up some paint and rearrange the furniture, and everything will be all right. You want things to change? I mean, really change?
You gotta forget about home improvement, Walter. You have gotta blow up the whole bloody building. What are you gonna do, Walter?"
"Blow it up."
"Louder!"
"Blow it up."
"Louder!"
"Blow it up! Blow it the fuck up! Blow it up! Blow it up!"
"Right. Too right, mate. You can blow it up. Start again."
"Who are you?"
"I'm the Beaver, Walter, and I'm here to save your goddamn life.
