Breaking Bad S04E01 "Box Cutter" - Denny's Scene

ATTENTION: BB Season 4 Blu-ray on sale at Amazon for 40% off RIGHT NOW. Seriously. Get it.
www.amazon.com/...
My favorite scene of episode 1, `Box Cutter', from season 4 of Breaking Bad. With all of the attention the Gus Fring box cutter scene is getting--unforgettable as it is--I fear this sequence is being overlooked.
Here the actors are pitch-perfect. Their eyes say more than words. Ultimately this scene brings us what we all crave: more insight into Walt and Jesse's ever-changing relationship--the core of the series.
Everyone knows how great Cranston is, but let's show some more Aaron Paul love. Watch; he's amazing in this scene.
// SPOILERS AHEAD //
Walt and Jesse convene in a local Denny's after Jesse executes Gale, and the two of them witness Gus brutally dispatch Victor in retaliation. Despite his shattered emotional state, Jesse ironically shows the most clarity, while Walt struggles to grasp the implications.
// END SPOILERS //

You know, now that I watch this years later, this is probably the only time Jesse Pinkman as a character has full control of the scene over Walter White. Walter is constantly worrying and trying to get Jesse to be on edge as he is, but Jesse gets the picture and truly believes Gustavo will not find chemists like them. A lot of times when Jesse tries to put on confidence he just acts stupid cocky and is immediately put back down, usually by Walter, but here, he's unmoving. It really feels good that in this one moment Jesse is the calm one practically telling Walter "Shut up and eat your food, I know where we stand with our boss." I think this has become my new favorite of underrated scenes in Breaking Bad.

[@funnybone6149]

I wish I knew what it would be like if Jesse sided with Gus and Mike instead of Walt. Jesse proved himself against the cartel, cooking just well enough to beat them, and he is a hell of a lot easier to deal with than Walter and his insatiable ego Of course the series would stop with Walters death, no more danger and drama because the only person causing most of the issues is dead, but a Gus run crime world, with Jesse as his head cook, would be interesting to see for one day

The way he keeps looking out the window as Walter talks, his legs shaking at random, the tired look of resignation on his face, it perfectly encapsulates the look of someone who just murdered a man and watched another die right in front of him in the span of less than 24 hours. Sitting at a Denny's and eating breakfast is the closest thing he's had to a normal activity in all that time, and he's just *tired* of Walt dredging it all up while he's eating. So, he just shuts down Walt's conversation (who is normally the one leading their conversations in the first place) just so he can have a moment to himself before the next inevitable tragedy. Perfect scene.

[@xxczerxx]

This is definitely the moment it's clear that Jesse's soul has truly passed away

[@indieblue8297]

What I got from this scene was that Walt is focused on discussing a follow-up plan, while Jesse is laid-back and desensitized. It’s almost like Jesse is in shock and isn’t really grasping the seriousness of the situation. This can also be demonstrated by their new clothes. Notice that Walt still has the sticker on his shirt, whereas Jesse has taken the time to remove it. Also, Jesse has ordered a big plate of pancakes and orange juice, while Walt has ordered nothing but a cup of coffee (caffeine to keep his mind straight). It proves their separate positions and mindsets in this scenario.

[@Emerardo]

I disagree, I think Jesse was thinking more rationally then Walt. Its true Jesse wasn't as serious as Walt, but he does grasp the situation. He said himself that Gus's way of thinking is "if I cant kill you, youll wish you were dead." Jesse is right, if Gus wanted to kill them he would have already. But Gus did need them, so he didnt. But I do agree, their mindsets are completely different. It does seem Jesse is desensitized, I mean hes eating pancakes after watching two people die in front of him not too long ago.

[@Thraxraganharapollyus]

Perhaps Jesse is desensitized, perhaps he had already resigned himself to what is essentially a guarantee that he'd likely watch people die in that particular business, whereas Walter White had not(evidenced by his reaction to a rather messy inconvenience). Overcoming tragedy/inconvenience early on, following up with thinking about the future and your place in it? He's in the right line of work, he's learning more about what it takes all the time and he's got the right mindset to boot! I've never watched the show, just clips. Perhaps you know something I don't about his *deep and tragic backstory* , but I think I've read his stance in this situation pretty well. Comment below if you think I've got it wrong and why, gimme your two cents, etc.!

[@chipsnegativeharmonyrips7187]

What the fuck are you talking about

[@dwnl3493]

@@Emerardo I agree with you. However, in the broader spectrum of things, Jesse is more experienced in the drug world than Walter. As soon as Gus let them live, Jesse knew the score. Walter is over thinking the situation and over simplifying things by thinking Gus would kill them first chance he got. Jesse was much more attuned to the situation and was able to set Walt straight. This ties into something Jesse told him earlier in the series: 'You might know how to make meth, but you know jack about slinging dope'. This show has many instances where Jesse actually demonstrates a level of intelligence that surprises Walter, coming up with things that never crossed his mind (magnets, for example).

And I promise you, I'm not nitpicking or trying to be a prude. It's just a unique character trait I like and appreciate about him. Its just a small morsal that shows you he's still a raw, innocent and young guy at heart...

[@tgeo2880]

Something I love about Jesse doubling down on his shrug in this scene. Great acting. And how much contempt he has for Walt by this point

[@mrpuddingpop1]

I love the pulp fiction of it all down to the diner and then wearing matching clothes bought off the rack because theirs got a little bloody

[@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805]

01:52 Jesse is thinking so clearly that he made the fork appear magically in his hand lol

[@officerspooder]

it’s the meth

[@TeodorLojewski]

Good observation haha

[@manueldiprima]

I love how Walt is so worried and upset while Jesse's just chilling and enjoying his food

[@MrHatetheplayer]

i love how Jesse pigs out at the diner. he's indulging given that he knows doom is looming around the corner. he's far more accepting of the prospect after shooting and killing Gale. Walt is shitting his pants to see his partner so at peace with the current situation they now find themselves in.

This is the highest quality 720p video I have seen on KZbin.

[@cityunseen]

Thank you, good sir! I have a lot of experience video encoding and transcoding and working with compression. Though I have no control over youtube's compression after upload, I've experimented a good deal with what I can feed it to get the best results.

[@MassEffectGER]

@City Unseen Yo, also a thank you from me. Unfortunately, you have forgot the first 10 seconds or so, in which Jesse dashes his pancakes (?) with the red syrup (?) and Walt looks away in disgust, because it did obviously remind him of Victor's bloody demise. ;)

[@missiontobeaman3111]

*Halfway through the conversation Walt Jr. walks in, exclaims “Breakfast” (takes Jesse’s plate and exits)*

[@roddydykes7053]

*BACKFAST*

[@libertycabbagemusic]

I love how the size sticker is still on Walt's shirt.

[@DocAlexandrite]

I like how Walt is so focused on the Gus situation that he didn’t even bother taking the sticker off his t-shirt.

[@MrSheckstr]

It’s amazing the things the Jessie Simply gets that Walter doesn’t understand even when it’s explain to him in clear English, it’s like if it’s not complicated, he can’t understand it

[@rapperbest131]

Good point

[@jordanb7624]

When I first saw the video title "Denny's Scene" I assumed it was a scene in which the character Denny shows up. As in The Room. As in "Oh Hai Denny". Denny has no place in the story of Breaking Bad but could show up regardless. In the words of Denny, "I just like to watch you guys."

[@DocAlexandrite]

That’s okay, we like Denny

[@DrunkenCoward1]

Gus: "Get back to work." Denny: "You're not my fucking mother!"

[@Ps3rikbr68]

Whos Denny?

[@actuary1233]

Dennys must've made a fortune off this show lol

[@eighteenbat4257]

Damn I never realized it, but it looks like Walt figured out Jesse is the new Gale the second he gets done talking about how Gus will never find another chemist. Just look at walts face and how the lightbulb in his head goes on.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Oh, you mean how Jesse is now a threat to him?

[@parkerboy795]

I don't think that was it. It was him realizing how Jesse isn't ok.

[@OfficialKenThompson]

That breakfast looks pretty good.

[@alanmiraanime]

I was so disappointed when he didn’t say “Jesse what the hell are you talking about”

[@TimMosleycar3hur]

I always watch this scene when I'm eating by myself at Denny's in the morning. I get exactly what Jesse had too!

[@annabarmar9330]

it hit me when jesse said "we're all in the same page. the one that says 'if i cant kill you, you'll sure as shit wish you were dead'". like man that was sad. he's gone through so much

[@malvarezv97]

With cheap shirts. This was obviously a Pulp Fiction reference.

[@StornowayCG]

for sure. there's a lot of Tarantino in Breaking Bad

[@lucyhowarth1193]

Also reservoir dogs notice walt and Jesse surnames pinkman and white

[@gehteuchnixan9368]

Wait - he didnt even said "jesse, what the fuck are you talking about"??!!! o.O

[@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177]

0:47 "GOLDEN, I would say..." XD that line always makes me laugh. Jesse for once gets to be smarter than Walt, but he's so broken apart inside at this point that it barely registers as mildly interesting to him, so he's really sassy but bored at the same time, like he doesn't even view Walt an intellectual superior, or even an intellectual equal anymore.

[@TD0150]

"We're all on the same page. The one that says, 'if I can't kill you, you'll sure as shit wish you were dead.'" Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Season 4.

[@dr.p.wellington3604]

It's crazy how chemically dissimilar Walt and Jesse are, yet 2 halves of the same whole. Walt with his brilliance and distrust, immediately paranoid changes into a stable calculative plan via revenge, meanwhile Jesse, who is simpler and impressionable believes that by killing Gale and complying with Gus's demands has built them immunity but the guilt of what they had to do grows; this ironically leads to him being more trusted and reliable; they are both right about their disposition and saying opposite things. They aren't opposites but their morals are perpendicular. It's like Walt becomes worse and worse minus his attachment to his family(s) meanwhile Jesse only needs to get worse through necessity, yes he's ultimately deciding to put himself in bad situations but it's clear that he's reluctant and in a small way becoming better with his distaste towards where this lifestyle is leading him. I wonder if he'll name his son Walt.

[@gamer42go21]

Notice how both walt and jesse are wearing the same dress code with brown shirts and white pants. Shows that their on the same page (esp with gus like jesse said)

[@johnharrison6745]

Notice how Walt's shirt still has the SIZE sticker on it? 😁

[@wartortle577]

I wonder how jealous Walt Jr is when this scene happened..

[@raidenthenctzenwithinsomni4961]

Damn, so he never actually says the line? Bummer...

[@hverdagen8429]

0:15 I like that gesture

[@cityunseen]

He's so good here. His body language, the way he carries himself in the scene. By this point in the series he inhabits Jesse completely and infuses all of his actions/ gestures with meaning.

[@Cosmic-Bear.]

What do you mean he doesn't say "Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?"? :c

[@missad11]

like pulp fiction :))

[@Snarkythecat]

Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.

[@harveykhan3469]

The show has several references to Tarrantino, like Reservoir Dogs. Mr Pink and Mr White and Jesse PINKman and Walter WHITE. Jane’s character has a very strong resemblance to Uma Thurman’s character in Pulp Fiction, in looks and she overdosed like her character in the film. Camera angle shots from the trunk as well which is signature Tarrantino.

[@paullemiremusic3101]

Love this scene. Aaron Paul was born to play Jesse Pinkman

[@Nai-qk4vp]

I came here by searching "Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?"

[@165Dash]

Another great moment of Pinkman clarity and wisdom.
