This is the prime example that Walt deeply cared about Jesse. There's no manipulation here, he genuinely risked his own life to save Jesse from being shot, he had nothing to gain here and everything to lose
Very true. Jesse was totally willing to die for it too. Going up in a flat street, they see him coming. A nod to the fact Jesse was nearly killed off in S1 in the writer's room.
- saves Jesse after he takes the stupid decision of killing the dealers - becomes a target of Gus from there onward - gets betrayed by Jesse mere weeks after saving him and risking his life - gets his whole family threatened - has no money to flee - Jesse refuses to help him - xD

@@Animedumptruck Well that and Walt trying to get Mike to help kill Gus. Still Mike's logic was really absurd. Mike was a smart guy and he had to have known Gus was going to kill Walt whether or not Walt shut up and cooked. The fact that he expected Walt to lie down and die was absurd

This was probably the most selfless thing Walt did on the show. He stood to gain nothing by saving Jesse here and it actually sabotaged his relationship with Gus. Then in season 4 Jesse basically turns his back on Walt because he was upset about having to kill Gale in order to save him. Looking back, Jesse wasnt much better than Walt.
@@surfingtothestars Nope. Both were bad. It's just that Walter was too intelligent compared to all other characters, hence he was "capable" of doing huge harm to anyone, though very calculated ones. On the other hand, Jesse was dumb, too dum to calculate the harms/disturbance he was creating wherever he went.
@@sirnawaz I think your underestimating Jesse. Granted not as smart as Walt but Walt needed him for his street smarts especially early on. One of his major detriments mlb l.p.was that he was more impulsive and reactionary than Walt. Walt treated most situations like a computation but that started to fail him as he got more greedy and obsessed with his alter ego.
Two of those most satisfying deaths in the show, probably second to Jack in the finale. You could tell those dealers had no remorse for killing the boy, just by the smug faces they had when Gus forced them to “make peace” earlier.
After watching bcs, gus death and hector death is the most satisfying to me, bcs also makes walt killing gus as the best solution bcs walt would never leave the game alive as long as gus is
I think Gus was probably planning to kill the dealers as well considering them killing the boy brought unnecessary attention. When he said "He (Jesse) should have let me taken care of them" it was implied he planned to kill the dealers. Its never been explicitly stated that Gus ordered the boy's death, with the dealers (most likely) wrongly interpreting his 'no more children' order as a hit.
Man, Walter was BOOKING it when he hit the two dealers. The one that got crushed under the wheels died pretty much instantly, and the other one got his brains splattered on the asphalt.
Walter's heart rate isnt even up in this scene. Look at the way he reads the situation and neutralizes the threat in a cold manner. Dude is a professional killer now.
This is probably the most selfless thing Walt did in BB, he was as much Mr. White and Heisenberg here. There is no reason other than him really caring for Jesse that he did this. Even if Jesse would've killed them Gus would hunt Jesse down, so he did it because he knew Gus needed him. The scene was actually really surprising because I would've never thought Walt would do anything other than protect himself, this was the complete opposite... he basically jumped into the firing line to protect Jesse.
WW always protected himself. Saving Jesse was part of that "personal survival". I don't think it was love or compasion, because WW always thought in machiavellian terms for him, and his family.
@@marcelomarquez2089 Walter definitely cared about Jesse, He could've let Jesse die here and had no trace back to it. He purposely stood up for Jesse so he could work with him instead of Gale because he saw Jesse destroying himself. Walter saw Jesse as a son and only called for his murder in season 5 because Skyler convinced him there was no other option. Walter also wanted his death to be as quick and painless as possible, He didn't know they would torture him. Even in the end he could've killed Jesse but didn't, He saw what his actions did to him and let him run free.
@@marcelomarquez2089 Walter was like a father for Jesse, meanwhile in the first episode Jesse spent walter’s money for the rv and put sleeping drugs in Walt’s coffee
@@omnirudy thats was his biggest mistake, if not Gus will never turn on Walter, and walter can retired/dying as millionaire, Gale will stay alive, Gale alive means Hank will never suspect Gus and eventually Walter since he will not find that book ....
It's interesting that Mike claims it was all Walt's fault for everything getting messed up. While I agree to a certain extent, I think it can easily be argued that it was moreso the fault of Gus. He was the one who refused to properly reprimand his "trusted" drug dealers for using children to do their dirty work. They proceeded to murder an 11 year old in cold blood in retaliation for Jesse informing Gus what they were doing. Anyone who does that deserves to get taken out. Gus deciding that Walt and Jesse, both of whom were far more valuable to his operation than the two drug dealers, needed to die was what set in motion the downfall of everything he built. Too many egos were acting on their own set of principles.
@@Bagofnowt That's not true; his ego that they were just describing is _exactly_ what led to him being killed by Tio. No matter how you cut it, Gus might have been the most competent character in the series, and might have tried his best to be someone who doesn't deal in "deserves", but he was still fallible and just as capable of making bad decisions as anyone else. Otherwise he would've known better than to meet Tio or prioritize crapsack dealers over Walt and Jesse.
It wasn't Walt's fault that everything got messed up, Walt only defended Jesse (in this scene), himself (by killing Gale) and his family (by killing Gus)
I think it’s more so that in such a small span of time gus saw how much trouble Walt and Jesse were causing and how many toes they were stepping on or more Walter was stepping on, whilst the drug dealers are scum bags they stayed in their on lane and didn’t impact the business, whilst Walt and Jesse were stirring trouble with other workers and then killing them etc
Oh, I remember watching this scene for the very first time, I wash in a shock ; just like Jesse was. That's the point of this scene to feel what Jesse felt.
It was a dire situation. No real winners. Unless you were lucky. The old guy knew this. And followed the kid there knowing the kid would mess it up. So the old guy took care of business. Saving the kid. The young feller still has some growing up to do. The old guy is dying.
Well... on one hand yes maybe because he threw away his trust with Gus, but he did not do it for himself but to protect Jesse... that's not Heisenberg, that's Walter White. I never really got why he did this other than he does care for Jesse a lot, more than his own safety it seems... there is absolutely no personal gain for him in this situation, only risk and danger.
The way Walt pulls his hand back after he shoots/kills the guy is such a small action but makes it seem like he is inexperienced handling weapons plays to the whole good guy gone bad theme, it genuinely makes it feel 100x more realistic. Bryan is an amazing actor.
It was Walt killing the second dealer that really punctuated this scene for me. Running them over could be written off as a knee-jerk reaction, a desperate move to save Jesse when things were on the verge of turning nuclear. The shot was different though. There was barely any hesitation. No shortness of breath. No outward sign of distress whatsoever. I had no idea Walter had progressed this far.
A very basic thing that I'm surprised less people do, as soon as the main action start the music stops. Now we don't have the music telling us what we should be expecting to feel.
This scene was just actor Brian Cranston arriving on set and accidentally running over the two actors playing the drug dealers, then he quickly murdered the surviving actor to be thorough. the scene was so good Vince kept it in the show bravo Vince
Bojack Horseman. There are some parallels with how Walter and Bojack develop but in opposite directions, and coincidentally Jesse’s actor also voices one of the main characters in that show.
Apparently, the two actors weren't told they were going to be killed in this scene to get a more genuine reaction when Cranston hit them with a car. And boy did it pay off. Bravo Vince!
¿? But they would know a car will hit them. Otherwise it would be too dangerous to run over actors with a car if they don't know that's going to happen...
I just went over the moment those guys got hit about 20 times expecting to see an instant where they are dummies standing still and it isn't there. You can see the one in front move and pivot just as he gets smashed. Incredibly convincing.
Indeed, that looked incredibly realistic. You can still see some motion which seems a bit unnatural if you watch this at the quarter of the speed and pay attention to the guy who was flug over the roof. But otherwise it was perfect CGI. Of course, the scene being set at night helped - less light means less visible detail and less chance to screw up the illusion.
You know a show is really well written when the protagonists are a couple of meth makers/dealers who are directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of a lot of people and you still feel bad for them.
The shock on Jesse's face, that Walter did so simply and without hesitation what he had to build his rage up to do, informs us more about Walt than about him. Walt didn't change at this point- it's just that he finally had moral justification to do what he always wanted to do: control a situation to his own end, no matter the cost to others. Jesse is not just a coworker to him, or a friend. He's an agent. And Walt correctly guessed that he would need someone around who would take his orders if and when things soured with Gus. Just how they worked together against Tuco.
I stopped watching breaking bad in the middle of season 2 when it was premiering and then I re -started in the middle of this episode. then I saw this. it was mind blowing ....literally. I knew this man was not the same from the pilot and that this was going to be the best series of all time.
Exactly, Walt was a legit badass at this point. No half measures here, as there had been with Tuco. This might be the most badass scene of the whole show.
after rewatching this i’ve realized that it wasn’t really Walt’s fault that his relationship with Gus was weakened. He was opposed to Jesse’s plan from the start, but circumstances that were out of his hands occurred and he did what he had to in order to save his partner. Had he let them kill Jesse, there would still have been a rift between Walt and Gus. Really no easy solution here and I don’t think Walt was the one at fault.
honestly the only ppl who actually blame walt for ruining their relation with gus didnt even watch the show and just say watever sounds cool in the comment section
@@billross9132 gus didn't particularly want to do business with Jesse in the first place. He declined Walt's offer to work together and explicitly told him that his choice of a partner showed a lack of judgement. But then he got greedy and showed the same lack of judgement. When I re-watched Breaking Bad, I was surprised at how much less I sympathised with Jesse's choices. Walt is a monster and so is Gus, but Jesse is not innocent. When you work with a guy like Fring, you should know what you're getting into. I guess all I'm trying to say is that Walt was a harsh 'partner' and treated Jesse like a child, but Jesse was also an idiot who made stupid decisions like this and put Walt in a bind.
@@defragsbin I don't blame Jesse tho, he's young and sorta too nice for a ur typical criminal. Gus was the dumb one imo for hiring 2 dealers who have no issue killing ppl in the open streets and using kids. If mike was the one who tried to kill the dealers then everyone would say how cool and badass he is
Watershed moment for the show, the character of Walt, and the entire tone of the series. Amazing scene, probably the best. It also establishes the blood debt Jesse owes Walt for later.
My favourite scenes from the show are this one and when Walt says to Mike "you might want to hold off because your boss is gonna need me". Both scenes show the unbreakable bond and full loyalty between Jesse and Walt and the great lengths they are willing to go to save each other's life.
Don't sleep on the Aztec, good on gas, nice options, leather seats maybe, if you get one make sure you get the two-year maintenance contract. also, good for running over drug dealers and mofos like that.
@@rascle1000 I just don't get why rhe design is so bad Like it was release the day before the Introduction to the world Like they think we needed uglier than the Fiat Multipla
Sleep on the aztec. Sleep on cars altogether. Maybe convince America to make cities that are - hear me out - WALKABLE. I haven't needed a car in my life and never will. Don't need to contribute to global warming more than I already do by simply existing.
Fun fact: this scene was fully improvised, Jesse was supposed to shoot the 2 guys but Walt got out of nowhere and ran over one guy and shot the other in the head. Vince loved this so much that he kept it into the series. This truly makes breaking bad a classic.
It wasn't purely selfless. Walt cares about Jesse, but at this point he was beginning to realize that Gus was basically using him. He needed Jesse's loyalty so this was how he obtains it.
@@franklaudicina9786 Walt lost more by saving Jesse than letting him die. In fact Jesse turned his back on Walter bc of the result of this incident (Gale's death+Gus manipulation. Walter clearly cared for Jesse and it backfired on him which is why he had to manipulate Jesse.
@@BrokenSIMGlasses nah saving jesse is the right choice all along, after bcs we learn that gus is not the type to let people go, even if walt follow the contract he will still either get killed or used, saving jesse led to a series of event that give walt the reason and opportunities to kill gus
@@Rimanda Now that you put it that way, it does make sense. You're right that there's a huge chance that Gus would kill Walt and his family(especially Hank) to cut loose ends once Walt leave. Though I'm still butthurt that Jesse ratted out Walt for lying.
I don't think he's being morally good here, though. I think he viewed Jesse as a part of his business empire, and any attack on Jesse was an attack on Walt's fledgling empire & agency. Some part of Walt loved Jesse, but it was twisted.
@@defragsbin Actually letting Jessie die would have a higher benefit for him because he wouldn't break up with Gus. He did it out of honest compassion.
The only good use for a Pontiac Aztec. Good job Walter. They never saw it coming. Neither did Jesse. This scene defines the term "breaking bad". Reminds me of the motorhome. Like this, some of the very best scenes in the show.
Still watching this 3 years later. The ominous music fits this scene perfectly. You can feel the rising tension growing with every step Jesse takes. Breaking Bad won't get old.
That scene was pretty brutal for a show, you don't usually see them get crushed like that. You can tell it's CG from the physics, but it looks amazing on the first viewing. Watching this for the first time in context must have been a shock.
I'm not gonna lie, the first time Walt flew out of nowhere and ran the 2 guys down I chuckled. I understood the moment, very important scene for the season and the show. But something about how they rag doll and how sudden it is. Made me laugh
I've commented on that in regard to other TV and movie clips, how even in high-quality stuff like this, it sometimes seems that no fictional character has peripheral vision...
I think what they're trying to portray here is that Jesse and the two dealers are focusing on each other, they know a gunfight is probably about to happen. In those situations, tunnel vision is very VERY common. You don't care about the sound of a car if you have a person in front of you that could possible draw a gun in the next 10 seconds. That's the whole point of this.
Fun fact: This scene wasn't meant to happen. There was going to be a simple scene in the street, but when two young men walked on set, Bryan Cranston improvised and instead of yelling at them to leave, he simply killed them both.
This is the prime example that Walt deeply cared about Jesse. There's no manipulation here, he genuinely risked his own life to save Jesse from being shot, he had nothing to gain here and everything to lose
Very true. Jesse was totally willing to die for it too. Going up in a flat street, they see him coming. A nod to the fact Jesse was nearly killed off in S1 in the writer's room.

One of my all time favourite scenes. What a show. Best TV series ever.
This is the moment Walt said "How you like those Heisen-Burgers?!" - gave me chills.
when he took over los pollos hermanos and renamed it heisenburgers was the turning point for me
I just went over the moment those guys got hit about 20 times expecting to see an instant where they are dummies standing still and it isn't there. You can see the one in front move and pivot just as he gets smashed. Incredibly convincing.
Indeed, that looked incredibly realistic. You can still see some motion which seems a bit unnatural if you watch this at the quarter of the speed and pay attention to the guy who was flug over the roof. But otherwise it was perfect CGI. Of course, the scene being set at night helped - less light means less visible detail and less chance to screw up the illusion.
Vince Gilligan actually had Bryan hit those two actors with his car to make it feel more realistic
@@janeistired3921 That was a real bullet that went into the actors head
This scene and Gus' death should be shown to every VFX student
You know a show is really well written when the protagonists are a couple of meth makers/dealers who are directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of a lot of people and you still feel bad for them.
Kinda based.
Most badass scene on the show. Even better than Gus poisoning the mob
The shock on Jesse's face, that Walter did so simply and without hesitation what he had to build his rage up to do, informs us more about Walt than about him. Walt didn't change at this point- it's just that he finally had moral justification to do what he always wanted to do: control a situation to his own end, no matter the cost to others. Jesse is not just a coworker to him, or a friend. He's an agent. And Walt correctly guessed that he would need someone around who would take his orders if and when things soured with Gus. Just how they worked together against Tuco.
I stopped watching breaking bad in the middle of season 2 when it was premiering and then I re -started in the middle of this episode. then I saw this. it was mind blowing ....literally. I knew this man was not the same from the pilot and that this was going to be the best series of all time.
Exactly, Walt was a legit badass at this point. No half measures here, as there had been with Tuco. This might be the most badass scene of the whole show.
From this point up until the end is the peak of the series
after rewatching this i’ve realized that it wasn’t really Walt’s fault that his relationship with Gus was weakened. He was opposed to Jesse’s plan from the start, but circumstances that were out of his hands occurred and he did what he had to in order to save his partner. Had he let them kill Jesse, there would still have been a rift between Walt and Gus. Really no easy solution here and I don’t think Walt was the one at fault.
Agreed.
Agreed.
honestly the only ppl who actually blame walt for ruining their relation with gus didnt even watch the show and just say watever sounds cool in the comment section
@@billross9132 gus didn't particularly want to do business with Jesse in the first place. He declined Walt's offer to work together and explicitly told him that his choice of a partner showed a lack of judgement. But then he got greedy and showed the same lack of judgement.
When I re-watched Breaking Bad, I was surprised at how much less I sympathised with Jesse's choices. Walt is a monster and so is Gus, but Jesse is not innocent. When you work with a guy like Fring, you should know what you're getting into. I guess all I'm trying to say is that Walt was a harsh 'partner' and treated Jesse like a child, but Jesse was also an idiot who made stupid decisions like this and put Walt in a bind.
@@defragsbin I don't blame Jesse tho, he's young and sorta too nice for a ur typical criminal. Gus was the dumb one imo for hiring 2 dealers who have no issue killing ppl in the open streets and using kids. If mike was the one who tried to kill the dealers then everyone would say how cool and badass he is
That Aztec is one of the most iconic vehicles in television.
This is the exact moment 2 dealers became splatters
underrated comment
Watershed moment for the show, the character of Walt, and the entire tone of the series. Amazing scene, probably the best. It also establishes the blood debt Jesse owes Walt for later.
Una de las mejores escenas de esta magnífica serie. Ese "Run!" hace que se te ponga la piel de gallina. Absolutamente fantástico.
The greatest scene in this entire shows existence and probably the only time I felt myself genuinely rooting for Walter
My favourite scenes from the show are this one and when Walt says to Mike "you might want to hold off because your boss is gonna need me". Both scenes show the unbreakable bond and full loyalty between Jesse and Walt and the great lengths they are willing to go to save each other's life.
Definitely one of my favorites too! lol
1:59 *I am Back*
Walt was so badass here.
Bryan cranston and aaron paul made the best acting performance that ive ever seen
For me Walt, Jesse, Saul, Mike, and Gus, are by far the best characters, they make the show for me.
This is the exact moment walt jr ran out of cereal
Don't sleep on the Aztec, good on gas, nice options, leather seats maybe, if you get one make sure you get the two-year maintenance contract.
also, good for running over drug dealers and mofos like that.
People like to laugh… but I really like this car
@@rascle1000 I just don't get why rhe design is so bad
Like it was release the day before the Introduction to the world
Like they think we needed uglier than the Fiat Multipla
Sleep on the aztec. Sleep on cars altogether. Maybe convince America to make cities that are - hear me out - WALKABLE. I haven't needed a car in my life and never will. Don't need to contribute to global warming more than I already do by simply existing.
Fun fact: this scene was fully improvised, Jesse was supposed to shoot the 2 guys but Walt got out of nowhere and ran over one guy and shot the other in the head. Vince loved this so much that he kept it into the series. This truly makes breaking bad a classic.
I remember watching this for the first time and pretty much reacting the same way Jesse did.
Walter leaving the dinner table in a rush
"I have to return some video tapes"
1:49 Bro's leg: ↖️
“My leg!”
Lmao
one of the most satisfying killings in the series
Such a beautiful and selfless thing Walt does for Jessie here. Crazy to think about what happens between the two in the two following seasons.
It wasn't purely selfless. Walt cares about Jesse, but at this point he was beginning to realize that Gus was basically using him. He needed Jesse's loyalty so this was how he obtains it.
Wouldn't say "beautiful" is quite the right word lol
@@franklaudicina9786 Walt lost more by saving Jesse than letting him die. In fact Jesse turned his back on Walter bc of the result of this incident (Gale's death+Gus manipulation. Walter clearly cared for Jesse and it backfired on him which is why he had to manipulate Jesse.
@@BrokenSIMGlasses nah saving jesse is the right choice all along, after bcs we learn that gus is not the type to let people go, even if walt follow the contract he will still either get killed or used, saving jesse led to a series of event that give walt the reason and opportunities to kill gus
@@Rimanda Now that you put it that way, it does make sense. You're right that there's a huge chance that Gus would kill Walt and his family(especially Hank) to cut loose ends once Walt leave. Though I'm still butthurt that Jesse ratted out Walt for lying.
This is the exact moment where Walt became the fly.
Lmao
This moment was honestly the best showcase of Walt’s character and how he could be a morally good person. Crazy how everything went downhill since
I don't think he's being morally good here, though. I think he viewed Jesse as a part of his business empire, and any attack on Jesse was an attack on Walt's fledgling empire & agency. Some part of Walt loved Jesse, but it was twisted.
@@defragsbin Actually letting Jessie die would have a higher benefit for him because he wouldn't break up with Gus. He did it out of honest compassion.
The way walter shoots him without a tiny bit of hesitation and that frawn face, is what gave me chills
Boy who would ever expect a wild vehicle manslaughter and ruthless finisher from Walter in his "professional" time?
The only good use for a Pontiac Aztec.
Good job Walter. They never saw it coming. Neither did Jesse.
This scene defines the term "breaking bad".
Reminds me of the motorhome. Like this, some of the very best scenes in the show.
*"Run"*
- Willy Wonka
The cinematography in this show is underrated
Especially the first two seasons, wish they would have left the heavier profanity in it but nevertheless it didn’t matter.
Is literally one of the thing people most appreciate about this show
it really isn't
Saying underrated is overrated
Until this moment i thought Walter would never touch a gun and shoot someone. I can't believe how wrong i was
Still watching this 3 years later. The ominous music fits this scene perfectly. You can feel the rising tension growing with every step Jesse takes. Breaking Bad won't get old.
I feel like the choppy cam that car had gave a little more suspense to it as well
one of the best scenes in the entire show
That guy is Octavio from prision break
If only there were police in the city of Albuquerque this could all have been avoided.
Hank was busy collecting minerals
Too busy getting people for speeding tickets and parking violations
@@kayzeaza Walt just speeded throught those guys and parked on one of them, doesn't that count?
@@blueshit199 no.....
@@Unvaccinated69 no vaccines???
No half measures. Walt nailed that one literally LoL
And to think Walter was a guy who morally questioned himself before killing someone in the first season.
Nothing comes closer to the Breaking Bad franchise. It's the last last thing you watch on TV. No TV show will make you feel the same way.
One of the best scenes in the series.
This is the exact moment that Gus Fring became Walter Jr.
XD XD XD XD XD XD THANKS MAN XD XD XD
Not funny or an original joke
@@clarence9379 This is the exact moment this joke became not funny or original
@@clarence9379 You're done
@@SenseiDenax good one
I was utterly stunned when I watched this for the first time.
Walt was actually driving home from the bar drunk and accidentally ran them over
This scene captured what it's like to prepare yourself for a shooting that it gave people PTSD flahsbacks
That scene was pretty brutal for a show, you don't usually see them get crushed like that. You can tell it's CG from the physics, but it looks amazing on the first viewing. Watching this for the first time in context must have been a shock.
This series had one shocking turn after another. This definitely was one of them.
This was the most Walt stood up for Jessie in the whole show.
I'm not gonna lie, the first time Walt flew out of nowhere and ran the 2 guys down I chuckled.
I understood the moment, very important scene for the season and the show. But something about how they rag doll and how sudden it is. Made me laugh
Dang junky has millions but cant buy a sniper
If Jesse ever walks up to you crying you'd better run lol
Seriously
One of the best scenes in any show ever. Just chills. Everyone involved does such a fantastic job
RUN!!! So many great parts of the best series ever made
This is the moment when the Pontiac becomes a fly swatter.
This scene definitely makes clear, that the one who knocks isn't Walter, but Pontiac Aztec
That Trent Reznor style music set the mood
This takes method acting to a whole new level.
XD
METH ACTING!
@@kevinmcdonald6477 wKwKwK
heisenberg was such a genius he had a car that made zero sound
I love how the car is dead silent and invisible until its 4 feet away....
I've commented on that in regard to other TV and movie clips, how even in high-quality stuff like this, it sometimes seems that no fictional character has peripheral vision...
I think what they're trying to portray here is that Jesse and the two dealers are focusing on each other, they know a gunfight is probably about to happen. In those situations, tunnel vision is very VERY common. You don't care about the sound of a car if you have a person in front of you that could possible draw a gun in the next 10 seconds. That's the whole point of this.
Also he had his headlights off
Best use a Aztec has ever been put too.
This is the exact moment Walt scratched up the front of his Pontiac Aztek.
I love how Jessie was shocked this whole scene 😮
I'd love to forgot the whole series just to see this scene for the first time again
This was the moment Walter White became Heisenberg
Fun fact: This scene wasn't meant to happen. There was going to be a simple scene in the street, but when two young men walked on set, Bryan Cranston improvised and instead of yelling at them to leave, he simply killed them both.
You made my day😂
Walt’s moment of truth to how much Jesse means to him
I love this scene because it symbolizes how Walt had a drivers license in order to run over the drug dealers.
This is the moment it went from a Pontiac to an Aztec
My boy Walt came through for Jesse like Nate dog for Warren G
this is the moment the Aztec became Hulk hogan doing a leg drop
