Yes, exactly -- [A beat, as Walt continued from his boundaries concession.] Uh, excuse you. Morality is but a bondage to the larger picture, Walt, and I would never confuse it with effective therapy.
[It wasn't clear if Chilton took insult to Walt's sarcasm and thus implied irony, or the fact that any ethical bearing could ever be on the table.]
Walter, Walter. I understand that my own boundaries might seems somewhat... Opaque. But while I acknowledge the greater good in experimental treatment, nothing to my advantage could come of subjected killing. [Subjected. A bit of wordplay, since Chilton really had few qualms of killing tertiary individuals.]
Consider it an ethical system based on utility. And knowing the capabilities of others involves knowing their weaknesses. I don't doubt that you wouldn't engage Crane again.
[But not because Walt cared on Chilton's behalf. The psychiatrist had already detected that Crane had committed narcissistic injury, and unless he apologized to Walt -- which, he wouldn't -- then Walt would pursue Crane with agonized fury.]
