[After cooking a batch of meth and agreeing to stop at a hotel for the night, Jesse and Walter realize the RV's ignition has stopped working]
Jesse[after turning the keys several times] Battery’s dead.
Jesse, back when I asked you to put the keys in a safe place, where did you put them?
Jesse
I left them right here. In the, um… in the ignition.
Jesse
Whoa, whoa. No, this is not my fault, alright? The buzzer didn’t buzz.
Jesse
The buzzer! The buzzer that buzzes when you put the keys in to, like, let you know that the battery’s on. I know that! It didn’t buzz. Look, I didn’t turn the key or anything, alright? I’m not stupid! Did you hear the buzzer buzz? I did not... It’s faulty, it’s a faulty mechanism.
Is this just a genetic thing with you? Is it congenital? Did you—Did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby?!
Jesse
The buzzer did not buzz! And you were the one that made me move the keys in the first place, remember?!
Yes, I see your point. Your imbecility being what it is, I should have known to say, "Jesse, don’t leave the keys in the ignition the entire two days!"
Jesse
I wanted to leave them on the counter, bitch! Oh, I’m sorry, the "work station!" Jesus!
[Walter and Jesse are stranded without water in their RV in the middle of the desert]
Jesse
What?
I have it coming. I deserve this.
Jesse
Snap out of it. All right, first off, everything you did, you did for your family. Right?
All I ever managed to do was worry and disappoint them. And lie. Oh God, the lies...I can't even...can't even keep them straight in my head anymore...
Jesse
You know what? Screw this. I'm walking. You can come or not. Where's my other shoe?
Jesse. Jesse... Your body is running dangerously low on electrolytes. Sodium, potassium, calcium...and when they're gone, your brain ceases to communicate with the muscles. Your lungs stop breathing. Your heart stops pumping. You go marching out there, and within an hour, you will be dead.
Jesse
You need to cut out all your loser crybaby crap right now and think of something scientific!
[laughs weakly] Something... Something scientific, right...
Jesse
Like, come on! Man, you're smart! All right, you made poison out of beans, yo! Look, we've got an entire lab right here. How about you take some of these chemicals and mix up some... some rocket fuel, that way we could just send up a signal flare. Or you make some kind of robot to get us help... or a homing device... or building a battery... [Walt's eyes snap open] Or what if we just take some stuff off of the RV and build it into something completely different? You know, like a... like a dune buggy! And that way we could just dune buggy our... [Walt sits up] What? Hey... what is it? What?
Do you... do you have any money? Change, I mean, coins?
Jesse
Yeah, yeah, I got a bunch of 'em!
Jesse
Yes!
Gather them. And–and–and washers, and nuts and bolts and screws, and whatever little pieces of metal we can think of that is galvanized–it has to be galvanized–or–or solid zinc.
Jesse
[heads outside] Solid zinc.
And–and–and bring me... brake pads! The front wheels should have discs. Take them off and bring them to me.
Jesse
All right, all right...
[kicks a toolbox toward Jesse] Brake pads!
Jesse
What are we building?
Jesse
A robot?
The upshot is that I have radiation pneumonitis.
Jesse
Damn.
Actually, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's a fairly common occurrence. Easily treated. In fact, the news is all good.
Jesse
You mean, good? You mean, like, good good? You mean, like, remission good?
Remission. Not to imply I'm cured. I still have cancer, but there's been a significant reduction in the tumors.
Jesse
How significant?
Jesse
Dude! No way!
I'm not out of the woods yet, not by any stretch... but "options" is the word they keep bandying about.
Jesse
That's awesome! Serious? That's–That's... That's great, man! My aunt, she never... I mean, y'know, at your stage I didn't even think that could happen.
Jesse
Mr. White, you kicked its ass, yo! [Walter motions for Jesse to quiet down] No! You must be so psyched!
Jesse
Okay, now we... I mean, what do we... Oh! Hey, I almost forgot. [hands Walter a paper bag filled with money] So, how do you want to... y'know... proceed in light of this kickass news?
We'll take our time and stay cautious. Sell off what we have and then...well, then I guess I'm done.
[Jane is looking at Jesse's superhero sketches]
Jesse
That's Backwardo. Oh wait, no, actually I changed it to Rewindo. Anyways, he goes backwards. He can make everything go in reverse.
Time and stuff? Time traveling?
Jesse
No, he just walks backwards.
Jesse
How much?
Jesse
How much did you get for the deal?
Jesse
$600,000 each.
$480,000. Saul's cut is 20%.
Jesse Alright, so where's my money? [Walter laughs] What?
You are joking, right? If I gave you that money, you would be dead inside of a week.
Jesse
Yo man, look, I'm off the heroin. I didn't even like it anyway, it made me sick. And the meth, y'know, I could take it or leave it. I'm clean, Mr. White. For real.
[Walter tosses an empty beaker to Jesse]
Jesse
How gay are you, seriously?
Pee in it! They're selling testing kits at the drug stores. If you are clean, I will give you every last dime. [beat; Jesse is silent] No, huh? Well, I guess until then, you'll just have to depend on the kindness of strangers to get high. That and your little junkie girlfriend.
[Jesse throws the beaker at Walter. Walter ducks and it shatters against the chalkboard]
Do you know what this is?
Jesse
It's a whole lot of cheddar.
This is freedom! This is saying I can go anywhere I want! I can be anybody! Who do you want to be? Where do you want to go? South America? Europe? Australia?
Jesse
Is New Zealand part of Australia?
New Zealand is New Zealand!
Jesse
Right on. New Zealand, that's where they, uh, that's where they made Lord of the Rings! I say we just move there, yo! I mean, you could do your art, right? Like, you could like paint the local castles and shit, and I can be a bush pilot!
[Jane's father, Donald, discovers Jesse in her bedroom and tries to throw him out. Jesse finds a baseball bat during the scuffle and threatens Donald with it]
Jesse
What's with you, yo, huh?! 'Cause I will seriously bust you up!
DDonald
You miserable little smack-head! Get the hell out!
Jesse
Hey, I pay my rent, bitch! Alright?! I got civil rights!
[to Jesse] Saul Goodman sent me. [pause] Come on, inside. Latch the door. Where is she?
[Jesse turns his head in the direction of his bedroom. Mike puts on gloves as he walks down the hall. He then looks around and stares briefly at Jane's body before putting Jesse's drug paraphernalia inside a bag and cleaning up the room.]
Any other drugs in the house? Think hard. Your freedom depends on it. [Jesse shakes his head] What about guns? You got any guns in the house? [Jesse shakes his head again] Here's your story: You woke up. You found her. That's all you know. Say it. Say it, please. "I woke up. I found her. That's all I know." [Jesse begins to cry; Mike slaps him] Say it. "I woke up. I found her. That's all I know."
Jesse
I woke up. I found her. That's all I know.
Jesse
I woke up. I found her. That's all I know.
Jesse
[in rushing tone] I woke up. I found her. That's all I know. I woke up. I found her. That's all I know.
Once you call it in, the people who show up will be with the Office of Medical Investigations. That's primarily who you'll talk to. Police officers may arrive, they may not. Depends on how busy a morning they're having. Typically OD's are not a high priority call. There's nothing here to incriminate you, so I'd be amazed if you got placed under arrest. However, if you do, you say nothing. You tell them you just want your lawyer and you call Saul Goodman. And do I need to state the obvious? I was not here. You put on a long sleeve shirt and cover those track marks on your arm. [hands Jesse a phone] Count down from twenty and then you dial. [zips up the bag with Jesse's money] Hang tough. You're in the home stretch.
[Walt finds Jesse strung out in a trap house and rushes over to him]
Jesse. Jesse! Look at me, son. Wake up. Wake up.
Jesse
Hey. I ain't got nothing for you, man. It's all gone.
Jesse, wake up. Just— [Jesse starts thrashing] Jesse! Jesse, it's me! It's Walt! It's Walt.
Jesse
Yeah...
Come on, let's get out of here.
Jesse
No, nonono, no, nono, no. I'm good.
Come on. Help me out, now.
Jesse
I'm good. I'm good... right here, man. Right here.
Listen, Jesse. You are not good right here. You are not good at all, you hear? Now, you just put your arms around me. Come on. You're gonna stand up, and we're gonna- we're gonna walk out of here. Okay? [Jesse does so] We're gonna take you someplace nice and safe. That's it. Now, let's go, come on. Here we go.'
Jesse
[sobbing] I killed her.
Jesse
I killed her, it was me! I killed her, man, I killed her!
Jesse, look at me. Look at me. You didn't kill anybody.
Jesse
I loved her... [continues sobbing] I loved her more than anything!
[Walter hugs him]
[The Pinkmans just sold Jesse's old house at a much lower price to an unknown person who knew about Jesse's meth lab]
PMr. Pinkman
Breaking even is not so bad. In this economy, a lot of people would kill to break even.
Poor Jake had his heart set on going to Space Camp.
[Jesse pulls up in his car]
PMr. Pinkman
God, this is all we need.
Jesse
Mom. Dad. How's it going? [walks to the house]
PMr. Pinkman
Jesse, it's really not a good time.
Jesse, the house has been sold. The new owners are expected at any moment. Where do you think you're going?
Jesse
[jingles his key] Inside. I bought the place.
This is very shoddy work, Pinkman. I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Jesse
What? No way. I gave out samples and everyone said it was the bomb.
Oh, they said it was the bomb? And who are they, I wonder? A bunch of meth heads?
Jesse
Yeah, and they should know, right?
Yeah, well, sorry. I can't help you.
Jesse
Fine, asswad. You know what? I'll contact the guy myself.
Oh yeah? Well, good luck because my guy's a pro and he doesn't deal with junkies.
Jesse
Hey, you know what? Eat me!
