• Walter H. White : It's me. I'm alone.

  Jesse Pinkman : How'd you find me?

  Walter H. White : You're still in our filing system. So your aunt owns this place right?

  Jesse Pinkman : I own it.

  Walter H. White : No one's looking for you.

  Jesse Pinkman : Why are you here?

  Walter H. White : I was curious. Honestly, I never expected you to amount to much, but methamphetamine? I didn't picture that. There's a lot of money in it, huh?

  Jesse Pinkman : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Walter H. White : No?

  Jesse Pinkman : Not a clue.

  Walter H. White : "Cap'n Cook?" That's not you? Like I said, no one is looking for you.

  Jesse Pinkman : Look, I don't know what you think you're doing here, Mr. White. I mean, if you're planning on giving me some bullshit about getting right with Jesus by turning myself in...

  Walter H. White : Not really.

  Jesse Pinkman : High school was a long time ago. You ain't "Welcome Back Kotter", so step off.

  Walter H. White : No speeches. Short speech. You lost your partner today. What's his name - Emilio? Emilio is going to prison. The DEA took all your money, your lab. You got nothing. Square one. But you know the business and I know the chemistry. I'm thinking... maybe you and I could partner up.

  Jesse Pinkman : You want to cook crystal meth? You and, uh... and me?

  Walter H. White : That's right. Either that... or I turn you in.

  Jesse Pinkman : No, you flunked me. Remember?

• Jesse Pinkman : Hey, what'd you do to them?

  Walter H. White : Red phosphorus in the presence of moisture and accelerated by heat yields phosphorus hydride. Phosphine gas. One good wiff, and phewf...

• Jesse Pinkman : Dude, this isn't even seven grand, all right? My guy wants 85.

  Walter H. White : This is all the money I have in the world. You're a drug dealer. Negotiate.

  Walter H. White : Yeah, well, I gotta go.

  Jesse Pinkman : Wait. Wait. Hold up. Tell me why you're doing this. Seriously.

  Walter H. White : Why do you do it?

  Jesse Pinkman : Money, mainly.

  Walter H. White : There you go.

  Jesse Pinkman : Nah, come on, man. Some straight like you, giant stick up his ass all a sudden at age, what, 60, he's just gonna break bad?

  Walter H. White : I'm 50.

  Jesse Pinkman : It's weird, is all. Okay, it doesn't compute. Listen, if you've gone crazy or something, I mean, if you... If you've gone crazy, or depressed. I'm... I'm just saying. That... That's something I need to know about. Okay, I mean, that affects me.

  Walter H. White : Buy the RV. We start tomorrow.
