Ah, like I came to you, begging to cook meth. Oh, hey, nerdiest old dude I know, you wanna come cook crystal? Please. I’d ask my diaper-wearing granny, but her wheelchair wouldn’t fit in the RV.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

Jesse rejects the suggestion that he begged this unlikely partner to join him. He acts out that version sarcastically, then invents an even less plausible alternative involving his grandmother. The escalating insult turns his denial into a performance of exaggerated contempt.
