breaking bad: jane margolis

[kicktomorrow]

I want--



I want New Zealand, okay? Christ. You have what amounts to superpowers. Send me to New Zealand with Jesse. We can check out the hobbits and just--

I'm not dead.

[She has to stress this, because she can't be dead. She has so much to do. She's getting clean, she swears, and she can't die.]

Fuck you. For even thinking of doing that to him. My first decent boyfriend, you want to fuck him over? Go to hell.

I won't let it not be okay, baby.

[hostage]

There's real hobbits, you know. Wait 'til you see some of this shit.

[kicktomorrow]

Yeah? Awesome.

I'm--so sorry. Just so you know. Don't make it a big deal.

[hostage]

Why're you sorry? I mean, Jesus...

[kicktomorrow]

I should've--I didn't die.

But I should've just flushed the H, you know?

[hostage]

Don't. No, no... Don't blame yourself for that. It wasn't you.

[kicktomorrow]

Jesse.

[She sucks in a hit of nicotine, irritated.]

First thing: I'm alive. Do I look dead? Second thing: even if I died, that'd be me. You didn't hold me down and shoot me up. So stop it.

[hostage]

I know, it's just - We'll, um, just forget about it, okay? Nobody's fault.

[kicktomorrow]

That's right.

[She doesn't believe you for a second, baby.]

So. You have a superpower now.

[hostage]

Yeah, it, uh... Kinda. It's more like an anti-superpower, but yeah.

[kicktomorrow]

Uh-huh. So tell me about your 'anti-super power', Clark Kent.

[hostage]

Clark Kent? Yeah right.

I just take powers away from people. And give 'em, sometimes. But mostly take away.

[kicktomorrow]

Sounds useless.

You idiot. I say that--you know, in a friendly way. But really? Come on.

[She waits a moment, quiet and looking elsewhere.] I call you whatever I want.

[hostage]

Yeah, yeah. But I'm more Lex Luthor now, you know.

[He runs his hand over his shaved head.]

[kicktomorrow]

[If he's doing it--she might as well, still smiling, She isn't dead. So Jesse got his hair trimmed. So what.]

Honey, I have faith in you and all? But Lex Luthor...let's be realistic.

[hostage]

[He has to smile. He has to smile for her.]

You saying I'm not a badass?

[kicktomorrow]

Lex is a bad guy. You're not a bad guy.

[He made mistakes. It doesn't make him a bad person.]
