The Best El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie Quotes

Skinny: [from trailer] I don't know what to tell you, I haven't said like five hundred times already: I have no idea where he is. I don't know where he's headed, either. North, south, west, east, Mexico, the moon. I don't have a clue. But, yo, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Because I've been watching the news, same as everybody else. I've seen that little cage of his they kept him in. I heard about what all they did to him to make sure he kept cooking. So, sorry. I don't know what to tell you. But no way I'm helping you people put Jesse Pinkman back inside a cage.

[Badger watches Skinny Pete play a driving video game]
Badger: [laughing] Dude, you suck.
Skinny: This thing's, like, defective and shit. Think you got Cheeto dust in the controller.
Badger: It's a bad carpenter that blames his hammer, yo.
Skinny: Whatever.
Badger: You're apexing too early, you're apexing too early.
Skinny: I'm apexin' at the apex, bitch, don't be tellin' me how to drive and shit. You couldn't drive a two-button elevator.
Badger: You couldn't drive Miss Daisy.
Skinny: Whatever that means. You couldn't drive a short bus full of slow kids to the zoo.
Badger: Yeah, because I'd be too distracted by you. You'd be sittin' up front in your special helmet, tryin' to hump my leg, on account you couldn't drive Thelma and Louise off of that cliff! Apex!
Skinny: I can't apex more than I'm already apexin'!
Badger: You drive like a blind guy with no legs.
Skinny: Dude, you - you drive like my dead grandmoms.
Badger: That's disrespectful.

[final lines]
Jesse: I was thinking about that thing you said about the universe. Going where the universe takes you? Right on. It's a cool philosophy.
Jane: I was being metaphorical, it's a terrible philosophy. I've gone where the universe takes me my whole life. It's better to make those decisions for yourself.

[first lines]
Jesse: You know he's not gonna be happy.
Mike: No. I suspect he won't. Only you can decide what's best for you, Jesse. Not him, not me.
Jesse: I'm out.
[pause]
Jesse: So what are you gonna do with all that money?
Mike: Same thing I do with all the other money. How 'bout you, teenage retiree? You'll be livin' the dream.
Jesse: Not sure I should stick around town.
Mike: That's a start.
Jesse: Nothin' really keepin' me here. Where would you go? If you were me?
Mike: Doesn't matter, I'm not you.
Jesse: Seriously, come on. If you were my age? Just play along. Make some conversation.
Mike: Alaska.
Jesse: Yeah?
Mike: Yeah. If I were your age, startin' fresh... Alaska. It's the last frontier. Up there, you can be anything you want.
Jesse: Alaska. Start over. Start fresh.
Mike: One could.
Jesse: Put things right.
Mike: No. Sorry, kid, that's the one thing you can never do.

Walt: [Talking about Jesse going to college] First step, get your GED, that's no problem.
Jesse: What do I need a GED for? I got my diploma.
Walt: [Surprised] Oh. Of course, yeah, right. Right, right, right.
Jesse: Yo, you were standing right on stage when they handed it to me.
Walt: I know, it just slipped my mind.
Jesse: I totally graduated high school, dick!

Kyle: Dude, you are on fire.

[flashback; Jesse makes a pineapple salad out of a breakfast buffet]
Jesse: Yeah, bitch.

Walt: You're really lucky, you know that? You didn't have to wait your whole life to do something special.

[Badger and Skinny Pete whisper to each other while Jesse is passed out]
Badger: Come check out what's on TV.
Skinny: Man, what's wrong with you? I ain't watchin' no TV right now.
Badger: [seriously] It's the news.

Badger: It's a bad carpenter that blames his hammer, yo.

[in a standoff, moments before a shootout]
Neil: You ready?
Jesse: Yeah.
