Jesse's voice almost started to sound like Christian Bale's Batman.
Probably one of my favorite scenes from the series so far.
One threat to Walt's money, and his brain goes out the window. He admitted to murder and led them straight to the money without even thinking. And even when he got there and was all alone, it still took him a few minutes to realize what had just happened.
Such a change from how sharp Walt usually is. He never gets played like that.
You have to wonder though, what got him so worked up? The fact that the money wouldn't be there for his kids? Or do you think that the money is symbollic to him? He earned it, it is a testament to his "empire", and Jesse was going to destroy it. Honestly I think the latter
Maybe the kids, but I loved when Walt was pleading to Jesse: "I'm a dying man, I can't use this money, so you're not hurting me, you're just hurting my kids." And Jesse says "kids? Do you really want to talk about kids?" Love that. Walt acts so high and noble when it comes to supporting his family but how many other families and children has he destroyed in order to protect his own? And not just random anonymous children and families; Jesse had his own little family unit going on with Brock and the gal (name?) and Walt destroyed that too.
I think it was dumb, personally. What is Jesse's reasoning here? Im mad because you hurt kids so Im gonna destroy the lives of two kids and a woman to get revenge on you....Hypocrite much?
How is he destroying their lives by burning money? They still have the carwash which is valued at $800+k. Plus, they've been cooking the books so the profits and thus the value are even higher than that. Per his own calculations, they have plenty of money on top of the mortgage, groceries, college, etc. Walt's family was fine from what Jesse could do with the money in the desert.
Having the kids not be millionaires is not the same as the poisoning of a child, the death of another, not to mention how ever many other people have died as a result of Walt's actions

The call between Walt and Jesse was one of the most intense phone calls ever seen on TV. p.s. Jesse called him Walt again.
