Seehorn was particularly enamored with the unspoken language that Jimmy and Kim often conversed in.
“The whole thing is basically in code.
That whole scene.”
“I love that scene because of the rustic, rural nature of it,” he says.
Esposito can’t stop thinking about the moment when Lalo fires a bullet into the chest of Gus.
(Luckily, Gus is wearing a bulletproof vest.
And, yes, he’s also a key part ofBreaking Bad, so you know he’ll survive.
“I was shocked by that moment.
I was like, ‘Gus is gonna die!’
I really went, ‘He’s just going to sink and die.’
And then he comes back up angry as a snake that Lalo did that.
And their final moments together!
That has to be my favorite moment because he’s off his game, he’s off-kilter.

You’re doing this because you have this problem with Jimmy.’
I thought that was a really good scene.”
“It’s a terrific scene,” he says.
“And it’s mostly me, which is not what’s terrific about it.
And all that stuff comes out later in the third season.
That’s another one of my favorites.”
“That sums up who he is and what he’s about,” he says.
It’s like watching a caterpillar become a butterfly.
And realizing that this guy became everything he wanted to be in that moment.
I mean, he puts the fear of God in all these guys and they’re just left stunned.
Because they’ve seen what true power is, and power is not intimidation.
They see the power of his love and they have no words."
It really hurt me.
I love her so much as an actress.
I thought it was really good work, but it took a lot out of me."
And then I let ‘em clean up the mess."
What are you talking about?'"
“It’s kind of like this ‘Who’s on first?’
And then it goes serious again.
it’s an interesting exercise to do as an actor.”
Not to mention, a horrifying, mesmerizing one for viewers.
This mammoth monologue is legendary for the devastating line, “I broke my boy.”
“It’s incomprehensible.
It’s horrible.”
And it made for one hell of a Mike-drop moment.
