Theo notices a photo taped above the workbench: Walt and a smiling woman, both much younger. "That's her," Walt says. "Marguerite. She used to sit right where you are and tell me which clocks to fix first." Theo looks at the empty chair, then at Walt. "That's why there are two chairs," he says softly.
"Why give it all away for free?" Theo asks. Walt thinks for a moment. "When Marguerite got sick, everyone wanted to charge me. Doctors, the funeral home. Nobody just helped." He taps the sign. "So now I just help. It costs me nothing I'm not glad to give." Theo doesn't say anything. He just picks up a screwdriver and gets to work.
