Without spoiling the most recent episode of Breaking Bad for those of you who haven't seen it, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) tells his partner Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) that he's in the "empire building business."

Reader Matt Dominick tipped us to this mashup he made of that scene that cuts between Walter White's delusions of grandeur with some classic Empire Carpet commercial footage. Looks like Lynn Hauldren made Heisenberg an offer he couldn't refuse.
