Replacing the shrine
I wanted to build a small shrine dedicated to the Life and Times of Breaking Bad's Walter White. My sister and I worked together and made something nice.

In a couple of months, the shrine was stolen and scattered in pieces. There is something apropos about vandals bedeviling a monument to a criminal, of course, but still, it was distressing. We started working on a replacement.

Part of the problem was the dodgy neighborhood, so we started looking for a better one. An actor contacted me and made a kind offer for a better site. My sister was suspicious of his motives, however. I urged "we've got to respond to his offer."

In response, she sobbed that I betrayed her trust for filthy lucre. I must be taking money from any actor who offers. We haven't talked much since, and the project is on ice.

I haven't taken any money from any actors, of course, but maybe it's just lack of imagination on my part. After all, actors work by the principle "you pay, we'll say". Maybe I should go into the business of building shrines to actors. Vanity is inexhaustible, and the demand is there. Stately avenues lined with Oscar statuettes, for example.

Bit harsh. He's dying of cancer.
I hope.

Then he should make better use of his remaining time than building a weirdo shrine to a fictional character in a public place.
That's more than a bit creepy.

I don't think 'apropos' means what you think it does

i think he meant 'apposite'
but was too stupid to use it.

is this...

I can't work this one out at all.
Is it a reference to a film I haven't seen? Is it a heavily-disguised pun? Could it be a story?

It's either a clever joke, that I'm too thick to understand,
or pally's mind is breaking.

He seems uncertain about his plans - for the status and location of the shrine

Walter White uses the pseudonym 'Heisenberg' in Breaking Bad

Heisenberg is a scientist known for his Uncertainty Principle which states that you cant fully know the status and location of a particle

Thats my guess anyway
