“Every f—— day,” said Norris, 60.
“We heard that and we got upset,” Cruz, 62, said of the rule before joking, “And Dean used all of them in one line. So, they took away that rule really quick. That rule changed really quickly.”
Offering further insight into the rule, Mitte, 31, noted that they would have had to pay an additional fee to AMC to utilize the expletive more than once.

Looking back on the series as a whole at Awesome Con on Sunday, the cast shared with attendees why they thinkBreaking Badhas resonated with viewers.
“With desperation in challenging times,Breaking Badcame out. And I think why it resonated, why people hated and loved it, was because a lot of people were struggling just like Walter White,” Mitte explained. “Not knowing where to turn or what to do and having to make drastic measures. Not all were drug dealers but [they had to get a] second job, other things. … That’s something I think everyone can relate to.”
As for the future of theBreaking Badfranchise, which already includes the original series alongside spinoffBetter Call Sauland 2019’sEl Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, the group reflected on whether there could be more to come.
“What I understand, I think [creator] Vince [Gilligan] really wants to be able to letBreaking Badhave its [moment]. Don’t mess with a good thing,” Mitte said. “Better Call Saulwas great.El Caminowas great. ButBreaking Badwas something that was truly amazing. And I really feel the legacy of that is something that we can let go on for a long time.”
Quezada, 61, added, “I think for the fans, that would be cool [to have another spinoff]. But I think for Vince’s vision and art, [he is] probably meant to be able to create something else.”
“That’s the thing about artists. We’re always looking about, what’s our next challenge. What’s going to be our next creation? And sometimes, it’s easy to go back to something that we’ve done,” he concluded. “But the hard part is really trying to know what we’re going to create to move forward. Again, I cannot speak for production and Vince Gilligan and his writing staff. But for sure, I think that sometimes once you’ve done it right, it’s okay to go and do something else.”
