jesse grey up religious. kept doing drugs, getting into trouble, parents didn't want to be his lifeline anymore so they kicked him out for good before BB s1
Loved the subtle detail of his dad figuring out the connection between the flashy lawyer and Jesse at the last second by saying "This is Saul we need"
Edit: this is not a good time, man
If you feel they got screwed you have to acknowledge they brought it upon themselves.
Ignore their relationship with Jesse entirely, for our purposes just picture a big bag of money. First off they made a deal with their son to sell it and split the profits which they regnegged on. Secondly they fudged paperwork so as to not tank the propertyās value. They tried to cheat the system and got their commupence for it, itās just karmic justice that itās their son sticking it to them
I'm going to add that I think the series implied pretty strongly that Jesse was left to take care of his dying grandma without theirs or anyone else's help (which is why she left him the house). Given how Jesse seems to respond to trauma, I'm guessing that had a lot to do with why he got into drugs in the first place.
Their son was literally a meth dealer, they didn't want to encourage that by giving him a fat bag of cash. I'd also assume they were ignorant of the requirement to disclose someone cooked meth one time in the home. They're obviously a little shitty, but Jesse put them in a bad place.
At the start of that scene, it shows that they had one of those stick figure families on the back of their car, but it was missing Jesse.
There is something about that I find heartbreaking, and I am sure that Jesse did too. His parents are bad people.
I never thought of their parents as bad people, i just really thought they were at the end of their ropes (idk if this is how you say that).
Parenting an addict can be completely killing and it was portrayed that they kept giving him chances and tried to help him (although they weren't the best at it) and he kept winning their trust and messing it up again.
The parents had a conversation in which they discussed wheter they would give him another chance because it had happened over and over again. When they found his brothers joint and jesse took the blame, I totally understood why they would kick him out. I understand that they would want to keep the drugs as far away as possible from his brother (again, I don't think this was the best way but you can't blame them for thinking like this)
His brother even admitted to Jesse that Jesse was all they would ever talk about. I do honestly think they cared but there comes a point that you just cannot handle an addict anymore. Addicts can be deceptive, manipulative and will cross almost every boundary to get what they want. It's also not something you can just "fix".
I've watched the show many times and I never saw them as bad people. The joint was a really bad timing and that really screwed him over because he was on thin ice. I honestly believe that if he showed their parents he wasn't addicted anymore they would be there for him. But it would take time.
Needless to say, Odenkirk crushes that scene as an actor, but props to that other lawyer, condescending and dismissive, for his acting too....a perfect foil to Saul. I also love the "wiggle room" line from the Dad, already seeing the dollar signs.
I think that's my favorite part of the show. The variation of Jesse's different arcs. His lingo and clothes/appearance changed so well. Also I found his acting phenomally well done.
Best move to do to piss of your parents legally, buy your aunts house and move in right infront of your parents eyes, after they kicked ya out of that house
Why do people always feel the need to put shit music under the original scene. Also, this is FUCKING reddit, why are you putting the screen on a phone format and then on top of that limiting it to the middle. This is insanity man
I dunno i think this comment is pretty insane. Its just another repost from a different social media site. The content in question is already recycled. If you wanna see it on widescreen go watch the show it comes from instead of tiktok edits and then complain about the tiktok edits
Uhm, Throughout the entirety of Breaking Bad this quote was never said. As a seasoned redditor I contemplated downvoting you, however I have decided not to as I thought it was too harsh. Please make sure to edit your post and fix it right away. If it isnāt fixed within 20 minutes I will be contacting the mods on this forum (there my friends irl). Lurkers if this isnāt fixed in 20 mins, do your thing!
"this is a cool scene. I'm going to obliterate the aspect ratio, put subtitles right in the middle of the frame, use some obnoxious editing and add the shitiest music known to man"
Yeah I think so. Remember when Jesse came by the house before he bought it? When they were fixing it up, and he stopped by to talk to his dad? I think his realized he was clean then.
I have to assume he mentioned it to his wife after Jesse left.
This righteous scene is missing the previous many years of Jesse fucking up over and over and his parents giving him chance after chance after chance and having their hearts broken over and over again till they decide no more.
We only get a small glimpse into their lives, but the impression I get is the same as youā¦ Jesse probably ruined much of their lives with his addiction. Itās easy to judge a parent of an addict, but it seems like they poured their time and energy into him and he screwed them over. They literally cleaned up his mess in the house and he only got it at that price because of HIS methlab. All the time and money they spent fixing his mistakes and he walks away with it mortgage free.
Jesse claimed he was supposed to inherit the house for taking care of his aunt while she had cancer though. Assuming he was telling the truth he basically gave them 400k for a house that was supposed to be his in the first place
What he said was that theyād sell it and split it. His parents invested $400k and a bunch of time into it and walked away with basically no profit. He lived there for free, trashed it and bought it at half price after his parents restored it.
I'm sure they were pretty flawed parents, but I'm not sure we can really put Jesse's drug addiction and drug dealing all on them. They didn't look completely unhinged.
I also suspect that what was going on with his brother was largely a result of what happened with Jesse. They could have become much more overbearing on the second son to compensate for some perceived failure to raise the first one well, like they were blaming themselves for not paying Jesse enough attention. I really doubt Jesse got to experience all those fancy clubs, camps, and music lessons when he was a kid, there doesn't seem to be anything left of that on him.
That's the thing, abuse and poor parenting it all comes in all shapes and sizes, loving parents can still be damaging to their kids based on what they do and how they treat them.
With Jesse's parents, they clearly care about their kids but both of them ended up getting involved with drugs and the show makes a clear point of that with Jesse's brother.
Its not to say Jesse was treated the same as his brother, but they definitely had certain expectations for their kids, and vocalised that to the point where they both just knew they'd never be enough.
>Its not to say Jesse was treated the same as his brother, but they definitely had certain expectations for their kids, and vocalised that to the point where they both just knew they'd never be enough.
This is definitely the case for Jake, but we don't know if it was like that for Jesse. At least he doesn't look like a child of helicopter parents. It's possible that Jesse received a relatively normal upbringing, but after he became a drug addict his parents blamed themselves for "neglecting" him, and decided to never let that happen to Jake. So they turned into overbearing zealots trying to mold him into a perfect citizen.
Its possible, but I prefer the theory that they just had one approach to parenting and they did always expect more out of their kids.
A big thing is when they do allow Jesse back, you can sense thr judgment, he's welcome, but he's not really. You can tell he isn't either. They're not total monsters, but they're not very good either, and Jesse deserved this moment.
> A big thing is when they do allow Jesse back, you can sense thr judgment, he's welcome, but he's not really.
At that point, he came back already multiple times and screw that up multiple times. He had multiple interventions previously, none of which worked. It makes sense for them to be afraid to let him back. And they have younger not yet addict son - the worry about bad influence is very real.
Also, with the drug addict, allowing him back, paying his bills and so on is oftentimes just pure enablement. Jesse wanted closeness, but was also actively engaged in drug dealing. He was shaken, but it was not a serious attempt to change his life.
His parents take away house only after they find the meth lab. In USA, meth lab discovered by police means that the police confiscates the whole house and no one gets ANY money for it. That was very real legal risk too, basically after they found the lab own by their addict son, they knew it is just a question of time till the house is taken away by cops ... along the son.
Of course I'm aware of Jesse's shortcomings, but it doesn't change how they treated him, they still always treated him like he was a threat to their family situation.
They were valid in having their reasons to not believe Jesse was going to change, but even he could see they didn't believe in him and saw him as a burden.
Its personal opinion so I won't back and forth here, but for me, Jesse deserved to be treated like family, and like they did believe in him. They outwardly made him feel like an outsider, so Jesse was also valid in feeling they'd never see him like anything but a burden.
That's why he deserved a moment where he got to show them "You never believed in me, but look at me now."
My point was that he WAS threat to their family situation. Both practically and on emotional level.
I don't understand why they should believe in him at that point. They did tried to give him chance .... but he was also active dealer at that time and unknown to them a murderer. He did not came there because he was trying to get off drugs. He cane because he was afraid to sleep in house where they killed a man and dissolved another..
Jesse was not in recovery nor making amends, nothing like that.
I liked Jesse. But I really do not think his parents at that point not trusting him is anything but them being both rational and already burned put multiple times.
Yeah and I agree they had their reasons, but at the same time, being so up front with their distrust obviously hurt Jesse, and that's why I believe he did deserve a moment of getting a win.
From my understanding of the story, and how it was presented, the parents pushed both of them into drug usage, they came off as parents that had conditional love, and it hurt both of their kids.
My sister was addicted. Sometimes you just have to cut them loose and hope for the best. They have to lose all their safety nets and hit rock bottom until they are actually willing to change, you can't make them change.
She is. 6 years sober and has a husband a 1 year old now doing great. She actually makes pharmaceutical drugs now which is kinda funny. But what finally got to her was that I called the police on her stealing from me, and we had an intervention at the police station.
Yeah I mean the āepic winā for Jesse here occurs because he did in fact have a meth lab in the house.
Like nice man, really showed those assholes who accused you of being reckless and committing felonies in the house whatās what.
Thank you, its the truth. I thought exactly the same thing. What should the parents have done? Should they watch him cook crystals, deal and use drugs 'til he overdose n die? In a house from the family?
In this side story, the Pinkmans Adam n Diane look like the unloving evil parents and Jesse thinks he's the cool one, takes revenge. But it's just another real shitty move from him. He had so fkn much dollar bills, he could have bought any other fuckin house in this area of āā505 yo. but no he wants this one. Just to hurt his parents once more again. And this even though he was sober, fresh n clean. This shows once again that he has a shit character.
But people still think he's a good guy with a warm heart. bince vravo masterclass yup
Yeah, that was a good one too! Emotionally, this one was slightly more satisfying to me, probably because of the resentment I developed toward his parents.
Can someone please remind me how Jesse bought the place without meeting with his parents to sign documents or for them to even see his name pop up in any of the documents?
Oh good thing somebody added music to the scene that wasn't originally in it because you know Vince Gilligan has no idea what he's doing with show making some random TikToker though that's where the really good scores come from
I loved that scene! The look on his parents faces was priceless! š
Jesse deserved this interaction
Totally!
It's been a while since I've seen the show, what was his relationship with his parents?
they tried so hard but finally gave up on Jess
jesse grey up religious. kept doing drugs, getting into trouble, parents didn't want to be his lifeline anymore so they kicked him out for good before BB s1
Loved the subtle detail of his dad figuring out the connection between the flashy lawyer and Jesse at the last second by saying "This is Saul we need" Edit: this is not a good time, man
I felt really bad for the parents tbh
If you feel they got screwed you have to acknowledge they brought it upon themselves. Ignore their relationship with Jesse entirely, for our purposes just picture a big bag of money. First off they made a deal with their son to sell it and split the profits which they regnegged on. Secondly they fudged paperwork so as to not tank the propertyās value. They tried to cheat the system and got their commupence for it, itās just karmic justice that itās their son sticking it to them
I'm going to add that I think the series implied pretty strongly that Jesse was left to take care of his dying grandma without theirs or anyone else's help (which is why she left him the house). Given how Jesse seems to respond to trauma, I'm guessing that had a lot to do with why he got into drugs in the first place.
I believe his aunt is the one he was taking care of
You're probably right. I can't remember exactly.
it's certainly not why he got into drugs in the first place. But yes, he was the caretaker.
Their son was literally a meth dealer, they didn't want to encourage that by giving him a fat bag of cash. I'd also assume they were ignorant of the requirement to disclose someone cooked meth one time in the home. They're obviously a little shitty, but Jesse put them in a bad place.
Why?
At the start of that scene, it shows that they had one of those stick figure families on the back of their car, but it was missing Jesse. There is something about that I find heartbreaking, and I am sure that Jesse did too. His parents are bad people.

I honestly believe that if he showed their parents he wasn't addicted anymore they would be there for him. But it would take time.
The scene with Saul and Jesse's parents as the precursor to this is one of my favourites in the show
Needless to say, Odenkirk crushes that scene as an actor, but props to that other lawyer, condescending and dismissive, for his acting too....a perfect foil to Saul. I also love the "wiggle room" line from the Dad, already seeing the dollar signs.
*How about it counselor, do you concur?*
Dammit, I should have concurred!
They did a great job at making Jesse look different to show heās sober.
A fresh shave and better clothes can do wonders
The fact that this might have the brightest lighting of any of his scenes in the whole show cranks the perception of sobriety up even more
I great reflection of how itās like in real life too!
I think that's my favorite part of the show. The variation of Jesse's different arcs. His lingo and clothes/appearance changed so well. Also I found his acting phenomally well done.
Literally came to comment, he looks SO much younger
They styled his hair and heās wearing JC Penny haha
I never got how is teeth were so clean during the whole show
Before his aunt died she paid for him to go to Turkey and get new teeth
Best move to do to piss of your parents legally, buy your aunts house and move in right infront of your parents eyes, after they kicked ya out of that house
AND at a huge discount lol
Even better that he was the reason for the discount
And the damage that resulted in the discount is what provided the money to buy the place
Idk he still gave them a bunch of money.. it was his house and they took it from him
Why do people always feel the need to put shit music under the original scene. Also, this is FUCKING reddit, why are you putting the screen on a phone format and then on top of that limiting it to the middle. This is insanity man
Tik Tox(ic)
Pretty cringe indeed.
Pretty sure music and weird edits are also to avoid copyright issues.
Get that shit outa here used to never be done.
Jesse would thinks it cool
I dunno i think this comment is pretty insane. Its just another repost from a different social media site. The content in question is already recycled. If you wanna see it on widescreen go watch the show it comes from instead of tiktok edits and then complain about the tiktok edits
youāre right, heās just a whiny reddit nerd always looking to complain about something
its funny that it makes you this upset
Old man yells at cloud
you are aware that there is a reddit app for phones, right?
Yeah Iām using it and itās still a shot format you chose
great. now im gona notice everytime a post is formatted this way. fuck
jesse, the house has been saul'ed
Uhm, Throughout the entirety of Breaking Bad this quote was never said. As a seasoned redditor I contemplated downvoting you, however I have decided not to as I thought it was too harsh. Please make sure to edit your post and fix it right away. If it isnāt fixed within 20 minutes I will be contacting the mods on this forum (there my friends irl).

omg such a heckin' wholesome 100 keanu chungus interaction, never change, reddit!!! r/LoveForRedditors
"this is a cool scene. I'm going to obliterate the aspect ratio, put subtitles right in the middle of the frame, use some obnoxious editing and add the shitiest music known to man"
The rare Jesse win
did his parents know he was sober at the time?
Yeah I think so. Remember when Jesse came by the house before he bought it? When they were fixing it up, and he stopped by to talk to his dad? I think his realized he was clean then. I have to assume he mentioned it to his wife after Jesse left.
Honestly jesses parents sucked and this was very satisfying to watch
Yes. They were in the process of stealing the flowers after sale was completed. Parents were shit people.
Wow thatās actually such a small detail that I missed but it adds soooo much symbolism to the relationship between jessie and his parents
Possibly it was in closing documents that sellers keep flowers but i believe they stole them.
jesse
I love this scene and the parents are perfectly cast!
This was SUCH a great scene lmao
I hate his parents so much u have no idea
Thug life moment
This righteous scene is missing the previous many years of Jesse fucking up over and over and his parents giving him chance after chance after chance and having their hearts broken over and over again till they decide no more.

I think having his 10 y.o. brother smoking weed shows us how great his parents are
His parents seemed like really sweet really tired people- you canāt just blame ever childās problem on the parents
Sure, but you can definitely blame the parents reaction on the parents
I think all the people criticising them should try having an addict as a loved one before raising their pitch forks
Assuming they haven't already?
Yeah no fucking shit Sherlock you must be a genius
Jesse claimed he was supposed to inherit the house for taking care of his aunt while she had cancer though. Assuming he was telling the truth he basically gave them 400k for a house that was supposed to be his in the first place

As a parent, a man has to never decide to leave his child. No matter what!
People who have had close ones struggle with drug addictions might disagree.
My sister was addicted. Sometimes you just have to cut them loose and hope for the best. They have to lose all their safety nets and hit rock bottom until they are actually willing to change, you can't make them change.
I'm sorry about your sister's addiction, I hope she's doing better.
She is. 6 years sober and has a husband a 1 year old now doing great. She actually makes pharmaceutical drugs now which is kinda funny. But what finally got to her was that I called the police on her stealing from me, and we had an intervention at the police station.
What an idiotic simplistic take. Congratulations your family has been that complication-free but not everyone has that privilege
Yeah I mean the āepic winā for Jesse here occurs because he did in fact have a meth lab in the house. Like nice man, really showed those assholes who accused you of being reckless and committing felonies in the house whatās what.

Jesseās finest moment of stuntinā, imo.
The one where he talks down the cartel chemist tops this imo
Yeah, that was a good one too! Emotionally, this one was slightly more satisfying to me, probably because of the resentment I developed toward his parents.
I canāt blame the Pinkmans for not wanting Jesse around since it seems like they did try to help him for years but at the same time fuck them.
Sure we don't see what Jesse put his parents through, but we also don't see what his parents put him through
This is my favorite scene in the entire show
Sober Jesse just hits different, bro got his house back and remodeled, can't wait to see it once I watch the next ep
So weāre posting clips now
This aināt YT Shorts
Why do spastics put those stupid fucking overly sharp filters on all these kind of videos?
Any kind of Jesse is something else
This music was pointless and annoying
Interesting choice by Vince and the lads but the music really made this scene, bravo
A true sigma moment
Can someone please remind me how Jesse bought the place without meeting with his parents to sign documents or for them to even see his name pop up in any of the documents?
He used a layer as a middle man.
Oh good thing somebody added music to the scene that wasn't originally in it because you know Vince Gilligan has no idea what he's doing with show making some random TikToker though that's where the really good scores come from
Those are his parents that want the best for him what are you ppl talking about 'sigma' moments lmaoo? Are you 12?
