[ Yeah, well, Joel knows Jesse sure ain't gonna die, and he sure doesn't want to stand around in the street discussing this. Doesn't want to give this Schrader guy a chance to change his mind and call the paramedics. Time to get Jesse to his feet. Or flung over his shoulder, at least. ]
Look, I got this. [ He gives the guy a final pointed look. Then he turns his attention to Jesse. ] Shut it, kid. We'll get you to the hospital, alright?
[ Subtly but promptingly looking at Jesse as much to say, play along with me here. Too bad if this ends up being humiliating as hell for Jesse. Better to be humiliated than get the cops involved. Gripping Jesse's arm, Joel rolls him slowly and carefully over onto his back - the slow and careful part is for the sake of appeasing Schrader more than anything - and then slips one arm under Jesse's neck and anchors his other under the kid's knees.
