I couldn’t believe how much Saul there was.
I’m aghast, alarmed, at my own confidence in playing the character.
I mean, I didn’t know what the f— I was doing.
AMC
We’re going to get a real actor.
I was amazed at how completely I embraced the character and dug in.

That was really fun to play and I fully understood how much fun it was at the time.
Brandt calls the scene a watershed moment for herself.
“It just crystallized every character.

But it’s the only out that she can see.
The six-minute scene took more than a day to shoot, she recalls.

Initially, it was going to be static, she says.
Again, it was a metaphor for that feeling of being trapped.
It was an amazing scene to play.
AMC
Oh, well, uh, good work on your shopping then, because these arechoice.”
When Skyler says, Did he also tell you about my affair?

It was fantastic!”
“I remember the characters celebrating euphorically in pulling off the train heist of the century.
Jesse Plemons' character just raises a gun and shoots him.

And it was like, ‘Oh my God!’
It was such a beautifully constructed narrative: Okay, you want to experience the highs with Walter White?
You want to be on that train ride with Jesse Pinkman?
