When I think of Walter, I think of how his emotions can go to 0-100 really quickly. The two quotes from him "That's sad too--everything sad" and "I'll have to get something a little sportier for Ruth, maybe a Cadillac convertible to do her shopping in..."

Walter is determined to make provide more than enough for his family. "...we'll go up to
