Walter and Jesse in “Full Measure”

Walter

How you holding up?

Jesse

Mm... You?

Walter

I got my old job back. At least until they kill me and Gale takes over.

Jesse

So he's their boy, huh?

Walter

He's their boy.

Jesse

How long you think you got?

Walter

Well, he asks a lot of questions about the cooking process. I try to be as vague as possible but I got that guy Victor watching me, listening to every word I say. Maybe the only thing saving me is Gale's fastidiousness. Once he feels confident that he knows my entire method...

Jesse

So what do we do?

Walter

You know what we do.

Jesse

There's got to be some other way. Maybe it's better for you to just go the cops, alright? I mean, I can't believe I'm saying that and all, but for your family. Hey, the DEA would love you, the shit you tell them. Federal Witness Protection, that's a good deal. As for me, I'll hit the road, yo. I'll make it. We had a good run... but it's over.

Walter

Never the DEA. The cooking can't stop. That's the one thing I'm certain of–production cannot stop. Gus can't afford to. So if I'm the only chemist that he's got, then I got leverage and leverage keeps me alive, and it keeps you alive, too. I think I can see to that. If I'm the only chemist that he's got...

Jesse

I can't do it, Mr. White. Like you said, I'm not a... I can't do it.

Walter

I'll do it. I'm gonna need your help. I mean, they're watching me day and night. They never leave me alone with Gale, not for a moment. Hell, I don't even know where the man lives. He's not in the phone book, I can't find him on the Internet, I can't do it in the lab–Victor's always there. I mean, if I can just shake Victor, even an hour one night, I think then that... I may be able to... make it look like an accident.

Jesse

There's got to be some other way.

Walter

I'm all ears, but when it comes down to you and me versus him, I'm sorry–I'm truly sorry–but it's gonna be him.
