[Yes, well, since they both know his pleasantries are hardly sincere, best to nail the issue.]
Since you are aware of the matters inherent in this business, I shall skip idle conversation. You know who I am and what I do, like I do about you. However, I am not interested in moving in on your operation; I wish to use it.
[Don't BS him here, bro. Walter White is an easy connection between "Jesse Pinkman" and "Drugs".]
I am primarily interested in reaching an arrangement concerning logistics. [Distribution, etc.] I would also be intrigued by the chance to scrutinize your work.
[Which, yes, is the implication he needs a place to work.]
[Oh, there's no point in playing innocent with Crane. They run in the same circles, and it doesn't shock Jesse to hear that Crane knows what he gets up to. Yes, it's an easy connection to make and it's a wonder that most people miss it.]
...You wanna see my lab?
[If he understood Crane's flowery speech correctly.]
I dunno what you heard, but I ain't in the business of chemical weapons. It's just drugs. You know, the kind people like taking.
[Crane doesn't speak, doesn't cluck his tongue in his cheeks or sigh. His work is too precious to waste on this cretin, who doesn't appreciate it. But it's like dealing with Falcone and the Chechen. Jesse, like they had been, is useful.
When he does speak, it's in a calm, polite, even optimistic tone.]
Yes, I know you peddle somatic ignorance to those who cannot face reality. That is why I'm calling you.
Now, it's quite simple. I've brewed a powder opposite to the compound I tested last year. Allow me to illustrate it for you; imagine a world where people can be free of fear. A lifetime of thrills. A product that people will always want provided, because they cannot face life. Addiction is a danger of anxiolytics, did you know that?
I'm looking for test subjectsa test market customers. And you know as well as I that we all need money these days.
[Yes, yes. All a very fancy, frilly sell. So many college words. Much impress. But Jesse has no reason to think Crane's doing anything other than lying to him. Any tactic to get into a working lab with an endless supply of precursor, anything it takes to get his poison into as many people as possible.]
I'm not saying no. But I'm not promising customers without a little QA. You know, quality assurance. I'm gonna wanna see the product before I sign off on any of this.
[He repeats his earlier words, and still uses that polite, gentle tone. That therapist's voice he's used before.]
Of course, one would expect it to be trialed on somebody who can experience it properly. I fear your unique... metabolism would give it something of a poor reputation. [His voice drops.] My work is flawless and deserves to be experienced properly...

[Contrary to popular belief, he's not stupid.]
I'll get some of my people together and we'll experiment.

Business is business. But it's dangerous to do business with some people more than others.]
I take it my reputation shall not be a problem for your "people"?

Then I'll expect prompt arrangements. I'll be in touch.
