I’m actually mad at Vince Gilligan for forcing me to remember this fact, because now I’m very sad!īut in fact, offering up one last happy memory of Walt and Jesse being bros is a gift right from Gilligan’s heart to ours.

It’s a fun scene – possibly the funniest in El Camino, not that there’s a ton of competition. ![]() The biggest tell is that Jesse bribes the waiter to leave an entire pitcher of water on the table, since he and Walt are still recovering from dehydration, plus their discussion of how they’re going to sell the huge batch of meth they just cooked.
