Jesse’s iconic “Are we in the meth business or the money business?” moment is him at his most unfiltered state, serving as the ideal counterbalance to Walt’s escalating arrogance. As Walt fantasizes about his grand empire, Jesse refuses to buy in. He has seen the real cost of the game: the violence, the sacrifices, and the endless fight to stay afloat. Jesse's raw authenticity, combined with his constant inner turmoil, makes him the emotional core of the partnership, even when everything else falls apart.
