Jesse, Skyler and others in “Buyout”

Jesse

Mmmm, these are great green beans, Mrs. White. I like that you got the slivered almonds going. My mom always made 'em like that. You put lemon in there too?

Skyler

They are from the deli at Albertsons.

Jesse

Oh... Oh, well, uh... Well–you know–good, uh, good work on your shopping then, because these are choice. I eat a lot of frozen stuff. It's usually pretty bad. I mean, the pictures are always so awesome, you know? It's like, "Hell, yeah, I'm stoked for this lasagna!" And then you nuke it, and the cheese gets all scabby on top and it's like you're eating a scab. I mean, seriously, what's that about? It's like, yo, whatever happened to truth in advertising? You know? [pause; Walter and Skyler do not respond] So, hey, uh, how's business? The car wash? Mr. White said it's going really well. Says, like, you're, uh, a great manager.

Skyler

He did, huh?

Jesse

Yeah, he says you've got it running like–like a machine. Like, well-oiled. Yeah.

Skyler

What else did he tell you about me?

Jesse

Oh, you know, just good stuff. Just really–you know–really good, good stuff. We don't really talk that much about–you know–personal things.

Skyler

[to Walter] Did you also tell him about my affair?

Skyler

May I please be excused? [leaves the table with a large glass of wine]

Walter

You know, my kids are gone.

Jesse

Thank God.

Walter

No, I don't mean they're out for the night. They're gone. They're staying at my in-laws; she made me kick my own kids out of the house. She told me... that she was counting the days until my cancer came back. My wife is waiting for me to die. This business is all I have left now. It's all I have... and you want to take it away from me.
