Breaking Bad - season 2, episode 8

Keep going, superheroes! You can almost touch the finish line. Go kick fear, frustration and tiredness as hard as you can right in the teeth!

For those of you who want it, here's the translation into Spanish:

"He pasado mi vida entera asustado. Con miedo a las cosas que podían pasar, podrían pasar, podrían no pasar. Cincuenta años he pasado así. Despertándome a las tres de la mañana. ¿Pero sabes qué? Cada día desde mi diagnóstico, duermo bien. Me di cuenta de que lo peor de todo es el miedo. De que es el enemigo real. Así que levántate, sal al mundo real y dale una patada a ese b******* tan fuerte como puedas en toda la boca."
