‘Tread Lightly’ With These ‘Breaking Bad’ Lines That Are Permanent Pieces Of Pop Culture

It’s been over a year since the series finale of Breaking Bad arguably the greatest television program in history — and it’s still hard to go a day without hearing someone make a reference to it. I can only imagine every science teacher across the uses “Yeah, Science!” after successfully engaging a group of slackers with an experiment. Since Breaking Bad expertly made use of both dramatic and comedic dialogue I’ve gathered the most iconic lines from the show here to get everyone properly primed for tonight’s Better Call Saul premiere. Fingers crossed there’s a Belize reference.
