Breaking bad pilot screenplay pdf Continue Share the Deep Blue Sky above your head. Thick, scuddy clouds. Beneath them, black and white cows graze hills. This could be one of those California It's Cheese adverts that's a description of the original script specifications written by Vince Gilligan pitched on AMC and Sony. It's a little different from the Pilot, which ends up on the air. A teaser plot of cow dung is working on a wildly caring RV vehicle invading the cow pasture, scattering cows. It crashes into a ravine and stops. Walt comes out, dresses only in white tights and records a video of his family. He clutches a chrome gun and directs it towards the police sirens moving towards him. Overall the teaser, as envisioned, was almost identical to the final cut footage, the only obvious difference being a shot of manure over the run was replaced by Walt's trousers flying through the air and knocked down. Act 1 He gets up at 5:02 a.m. to train on the stairs. He then goes to the bathroom and masturbates. Skyler serves breakfast for Walt and Walt Jr. complaining that the bacon isn't real, but Skyler explains that Walt looks for cholesterol. He teaches chemistry classes when Chad and his girlfriend cause distraction. After class he sits in an empty room and scores quizzes while eating a sandwich. Margaret enters the room and buys soda. Walt wishes her a happy birthday, and she smokes a cigarette, telling him: Don't go. Cut at the car wash: Amir is on the phone with his son, who appears to quit his job. He orders Walt to go outside. While washing the car, it turns out, it belongs to Chad from chemistry, and his girlfriend calls a friend to tell them that she noticed Mr. White at the car wash. Walt drives home during speeding and is fixed on a triple overpass on the highway and drives under it. Walt travels to Pasadena to visit the campus of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and views his old photos. He hears Chinese students talking around him and faints. Differences: A minor detail that there is no hot water in the shower has been added to the final pilot. Chad, apparently, fingered or caressed his girlfriend in class. Walt asks him to stop touching her. In the original pilot, he folds his tie and puts it in his pocket to show his displeasure that he is sent to wash cars, but in the final version he just removes the coat. There is no mention that he has done his part in contributing to the Nobel Prize. but a visual reference to Caltech on his being awarded a degree in 1988. In the original, Skyler wants Walt to mow the lawn before he goes to CalTech. In the finale it is painting the walls of the nursery. The Mars Rover exhibition he wants to see is CalTech, while in the final version it is in Los Alamos, at the Bradbury Science Museum - Los Alamos National Laboratory. When he faints, he he surrounded by Chinese-speaking students in a cafe, which upsets him. In the final version he is at the car wash and sees a woman in a tight green dress. The scene with Walt and Margaret doesn't exist in the final cut, although there's a brief snapshot of him doing work in an empty room after class before going to the car wash. The footage of his interaction with someone may have been deleted.

While Amir is talking on the phone in another room, Walt walks out the door, almost got hit by a car, sits in his Centra and leaves. He rides back to the same overpass from earlier and looks at it like a monolith since the 2001 Space Odyssey Gilligan gives instructions for an aerial shot that creates the illusion of his vehicle being swallowed by an overpass. He's coming home, and Skyler's talking to someone on the phone about the check payment. She then scolds him for using MasterCard to buy while he gets a beer from the fridge. Later that night, Walt and Walt Jr. were watching Scarface, Jr. received a DVD from Uncle Hank. Walt tells the youngest that his mother wants them to turn down the volume. They get to the famous scene where Tony says: Say hello to my little friend, and shoots at all the Colombian drug dealers.

The sight of an ambulance passing through a triple overpass is a visual reference to the original pilot. The scene with Walt, who was getting various blood tests, was cut from the finale. Walt will not be diagnosed until he meets with Dr. Belknap for a consultation a few days after he faints. In the original, Walt clearly does not leave work when he leaves the shift.

But then there's the additional detail about Hank once watching the threat with him, and the details of the two companies recruiting Walt when he was in college.
