Speaker A
This is on you, Gus. Not me, not Jesse. Gale's death is on you. I mean, really, what did you expect me to do? Just simply roll over and allow you to murder us? That I wouldn't take measures, extreme measures, to defend myself? Wrong. Think again. And whatever it is you're planning there, whatever it is, the point that you're trying to make here, let me suggest that you keep one thing in mind. Without us, without Jesse and myself, you have no one to make your product. Certainly not him.
Speaker A
This person doesn't know what the hell he's doing. I've been watching him for weeks. I know every step to his cook.
Speaker A
Oh, tell me. Catalytic hydrogenation is protic or aprotic, because I forget. And if our reduction is not stereospecific, then how can our product be enantiomerically pure? I mean, is 1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-methylaminopropane, containing, of course, chiral centers at carbons number one and two on the propane chain, then reduction to methamphetamine eliminates which chiral center? Is it again? Because I forgot. Help me out, Professor.
Speaker A
Gus, we're here. Come on. Let us work. All his [ __ ] aside, it's called a cook 'cause everything comes down to following a recipe. Simple, complicated, it doesn't matter. Steps never change, and I know every step.
Speaker A
Is that what you want? This short-order cook? You're not flipping hamburgers here, pal. What happens when you get a bad barrel of precursor? How would you even know it?
Speaker A
And what happens in summer when the humidity rises and your product goes cloudy?
Speaker A
How would you guard against that? Huh? Gus, you do this, all you'll have left is an $8 million hole in the ground.
Speaker A
This lab, this equipment is useless without us. Without Jesse and myself, you have no new product. You have no income. Your people out there will not be paid. Your distribution chain collapses. Without us, you have nothing.
Speaker A
You kill me, you have nothing. You kill Jesse, you don't have me. You won't do this. You're too smart. You can't afford to do this. Please, let us just go back to work. We're here.
Speaker A
Let us work, work, work. We're ready to go to work. We'll just pick up right where we left off.
