(5,169 posts)1. That IS funny!
Obviously, fans of the show know that it really isn't about Walter White trying to pay medical bills. It is about his lust for pride, power, success, and revenge.

It would have been a simple thing for him to divorce his spouse and separate their bills to protect his spouse from his debt, but he wanted to provide an income for them after his death; college fund for the kid, that kind of thing. The lust for power and greed all came later--that was OJT!!
It is a riveting program...!
