Breaking Bad, Season 3

Mike:
The good news is for stage three cancer, the guy's doing well. Physically. Mentally, the guy's a disaster. He's gone off the rails over this thing with his wife. My opinion: he's not coming back. Not on his own. Your friends were at his place again, by the way. They drew something on the street outside his house. The Scythe.

Gus:
Animals... Does the lawyer know?

Mike:
Should he?

Gus:
No.

Mike:
If you want this guy to produce again, why not just tell him? You're the only thing that stands between him and an axe to the head.

Gus:
I do not believe fear to be an effective motivator. I want investment. For now, I'm simply interested in time frame. He will live for the foreseeable future, yes?

Mike:
Hmm, foreseeable. Couple of years at least, barring acts of God or men with axes.
