- Bryan Cranston is a pretty skilled actor. So skilled that he learned how to make meth so he could portray Walter White in the best way possible.

I love how the title implies that other people *are* allowed to cook meth but that Bryan Cranston is specifically on some kind of no-cook government watchlist
Well, they could have called it “Bryan Cranston can cook meth” but that implies he’s allowed to.
@@chalkeater1427 no it implies he has the ability to, you _infer_ that he is allowed to
he threw too many fits on set so now he can't. Aaron can tho
I mean technically meth is legal in Australia IIRC, though you'd probably have to be a licensed manufacturer of course.
In that case, it reminds me of SCP's "Things Dr. Bright is prohibited from doing with in Foundation containment" stories.
I want to imagine a meth dealer watching Breaking Bad writing down notes.
Like that dude Walt chastised on being too obvious in the store. Lmao
Meth can be blue?!
"Write that down, write that down!"
@D Matthews
Guy with a box of food dye: “You have no idea what’s possible.”
You want to imagine?
Go ahead bro its free
@PLDTWIFI
No it isn’t. You’re taxed 0.2 cents every time you imagine something. You gotta pay it after you die. That’s the actual reason the Greeks buried their dead with coins, to pay the tax.
My favorite moment is when Walt first tastes Gale's coffee and says "Why the hell are we making meth?"
Fucking series ends after that for me. That was peak show. That was the moment they jumped the shark? But like the show could’ve ended up on high note…
@@themidnightbandwidth they never jumped the shark most shows never jump the shark and this is one of the greatest shows ever made
The best moment is when Walt is in the garage with Hank and he confronts him about being Heisenberg and Walt says "if you really think I'm Heisenberg, do you really think this is a good idea?" The shift in that performance is masterful.
"I suggest you tread lightly"
My favorite scene is when the 2 assassins are sitting on Walter's bed, holding an axe, wait patiently for Walter to get out of the shower. Brilliant combination of tension and comedy.
I love that part, I don't know what my favorite part is because there's so many, but the one that usually comes to mind is the classic scene of him in the Crawlspace laughing and having a complete breakdown.
Reminds me how by the end of the show the ex-criminal consultant for the Leverage writing crew just listened to them planning out a con for an episode as was like and "you don't need me anymore! I've trained you to be proper criminals!". Also the NSA made them to change parts of an episode once so the plan couldn't be copied perfectly.
Was that the methlemine heist episode
Damn I loved that show
Such a great show
When people mention realistic portrayals, I always tend to go with Scrubs. It may not seem like it is, but med students and doctors who grew up on it said it gets medical jargon almost perfectfully, and the feeling of being a doctor out of med school, to intern, attending, and resident. Bill Lawrence, the creator is always proud he got it that close.
I’ve heard the same thing multiple times.
His friend was the basis for JD, and was also a consultant for the show
For some reason comedies are always the ones to get the details of how a workspace actually runs correct. The best portrayal of how a courtroom actually works is My Cousin Vinny. Multiple lawyers have praise that movie for being on point on nearly every detail. Even the haha moments are accurate to what would actually occur in that scenario.
I'm going with The A-Team. Everyone knows that when 8-12 people in a bar, warehouse, or Mexican hacienda are shooting machine guns at one another no one gets hit. I mean that's just science.
I like the bit when Walter is processing the poison and Jesse asks what it is.
“They’re Castor beans. I’m making ricin”
“Rice-n-beans?”
"Bryan Cranston is a pretty skilled actor"? You're goddamn right!
Shaft!
That's an understatement if I have ever heard one!
@David Charnow hell yeah
"Say his name!"
I’m a chemistry student and one my of my uni’s top professors once spent half a lecture praising the accuracy of breaking bad and how taken aback he was by the accuracy of making meth
did he flip his shit over the mercury fulminate being soooooo wildly inaccurate though??? cuz even at that volumetric, 1 it wouldnt look that clear to pass off directly as dope, and 2 it couldnt cause anywhere near that explosive force even at larger levels than was shown... and 3 mercury fulminate is whats in the gorilla snaps firecrackers, i say firecrackers as they are sold as such but anyone thats used snappers in a tissue with sawdust knows they hardly have anything to em. and they have to be packaged with an agitation agent to actually"ignite"
This is the first time I’ve realized the inherent problem in the meaning of “cotton candy flavored rock candy”
COTTON CANDY IS SUGAR
ROCK CANDY IS SUGAR
IT DEPENDS WHAT FLAVOR THE COTTON CANDY ACTUALLY IS
Sugar flavored sugar?
I guess it's supposed to be the most popular flavor?
Do you have bubblegum flavored popscicles? Here in Brazil they're common, and bubblegum started with Tutti-Frutti flavor, didn't it? So that's what it means, Tutti Frutti flavor.
Its weird, cause there is sort of a "default" flavor, which usually is vanilla iirc, and because of the aeration, giving a unique flavor that naturally, has to be reproduced.
I managed / worked concessions for 10 years. We never had any actual flavors for the cotton candy, it was basically a sugar dye that you added to pure sugar. There would sometimes be a very faint kind of smell of "flavor" but there is no actual discernable difference between the different colors/flavors. It's essentially all in your head.
Not saying that there aren't additives that do give flavor, but at least 95% of the time it's just color. For purple / "grape" we simply mixed the red and blue, and pink / "watermelon" was just a much smaller amount of red dye.
@@Aphonydissent true! the synthetic “cotton candy flavoring” used in the grapes/other fluff-deficient foods may be what op was referring to, much like the “banana” flavor
Them talking about about mispronouncing words, made me remember my favorite phobia. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: The fear of long words. It's such a middle finger to people who have it.
@@Notorious_G.O.O.S.E as someone with 2 psych degrees I can confirm, psychologists are dicks entertained by puns and irony.
Whoever created that word, and Dyslexia too, really want to troll people who are suffering them. Pure evil, I tell ya.
A lot of phobias about fear of word have that fear in the word
Literally said it when they were talking about long words they like to say hahaha
@@AlexSDU don't forget "lisp"
A similar thing happened with Bonnie and Clyde.
When preparing a robbery Clyde would steal Ford cars with V8 engines for outrunning cops. He was so impressed with the performance of the stolen cars, he wrote a letter to Henry Ford to let him know when picking getaway cars, he always would steal a Ford V8.
The fly episode was a filler episode they used to bring down the budget a little bit. And it was amazing.
One of my favourite episodes. I'm a big fan of the "nothing and everything happens" episodes.
This is also what 4 Days Out was supposed to be, a bottle episode to use the money on other epispdes: but it ended up being the most expensive one .
I just realized he is listening to Nisha with his earbuds. Everytime when he talks to her or listens to her, he always tilts his head to his right.
Holy shit, nice catch!
Mephisto confirmed
Karl's drip in this video makes me want a jean jacket
space is temporary but the drip is forever.
Completely agree
Denim jacket gang ftw
You'll never regret having a denim jacket
I have one. But it only gives me dorky dad vibes.
I think my favorite of the accidental flexes from actors was the kid that played Jeoffrey Baratheon getting such an absolutely ridiculous amount of hate because of the character he played and he just kind of reveled in it.
I read that he doesn't like acting anymore because of how much hate mail he got over that character. I don't know of that means he's done acting for good, but he flat out said he doesn't enjoy it anymore because of that. Either way, holy shit is he a skilled actor, Joffrey was one of my favorite characters.
@@MyDixieWrecked247 I heard it was more than he didn’t like the world of professional acting. It sucked the fun and passion out of it to do it as a job. So now he does puppet shows with his friends.
@@LuxLoser I could definitely see that as a factor. Hell I myself have hobbies that i could probably do for a living but i don't because then it wouldn't be fun.
I mean... if you play a super shitty character so well that people hate you in real life, you done good, kid.
@@punkrocker1377 what if you play an innocent character and everyone hates you for life a la Jake Loyd?
My favourite BB moment is in the second season when Walter just stood and watched Jane choke to death. It was so well done, I spent the next three seasons cheering on all of Walter's enemies and thoroughly enjoying how his life falls apart bit by inevitable bit. ^.^
"Who wants to live in a world without classic coke?" Defo one of the best lines
Someone that can drink Dr Pepper AND coke. I like both.
Fun fact about the pizza, in order to get it on the roof, they couldn't slice the pizza. Gilligan, being the stickler for details that he is, worked it into the episode where Jesse is hanging out with Badger. Badger mentions the pizza place, and adds the detail that "they don't slice the pizzas there, to pass the savings on to you". I'm almost certainly paraphrasing, I haven't done my yearly rewatch yet.
I love the idea that you could get Bryan super drunk, ask if he still remembers how to make meth then tricking him into making it.
Regarding the pizza on the roof, that was the first take, they didn't even mean to get it on the roof. I think they did another few takes to try and get something better but that was the best.
You can tell it wasn't intentional by Bryan's reaction. He litterally stops for a second and looks at it. Basically breaking character and going "Wait, where'd it go?" in his head lol.
Man, when you mentioned the street Oscar I felt bad. Before Covid people would offer me drugs regularly when I was walking around downtown. Also was quite often asked if I was holding. I don't do drugs. I didn't do drugs. I just look rough. :|
I would say the guy from The Wire that got offered drugs shows how good the makeup department did at making him look like an addict.
Breaking News: Brian Cranston gets kidnapped after popular youtube channel claims the actor has detailed knowledge of methamphetamine production
Lol the recipe for meth is on the DEA website, it's no secret.
I have a theory Karl is the Deity of jackets. He has that innate ability of British people to look good in jackets.
So, it's just that he's British then?
Yes. British people are fantastic. Granted I live in freedom land so I don’t have to deal with the bad ones
He's Australian
@Hillbilly Samurai
Australians are just British Texans
@@smorgasbord9940 why would you say something so true yet so controversial
The “tread lightly” line always hits hard for me, it’s so so good
Personally I love when Walt discovers skyler gave the money to Ted. That laugh is joker level haunting, he snapped as the character. I've had a few less dramatic moments personally along those lines so it's always gotten to me for some reason.
I love how its implied that the DEA just trust Mr Cranston with the sacred knowledge, its like, "No were not teaching you how to make God. Damn. Met- Wait its Bryan Cranston?- Oh you should've said that earlier, alright we'll be there in 10."
The post scrip banter when talking about body transformation for roles reminds of the movie Hunger by Steve McQueen. There Michael Fassbender went and starved himself to get as skinny as he did. It was insane.
Mr robot is another show that takes the field its based on seriously. Everything done in the show is realistic while being written and directed incredibly.
To the extent of making fun of the movie Hackers during the show.
karls microphone sounds like hes a caller in a radio show
Karl's microphone sounds like a wedding DJ you hired on the cheap cause the other one cancelled on last minute
Considering the wall behind him is concrete the rooms acoustics are clearly not helping.
@@dubbingsync ik why im just joking man
The way you phrased the title of this video makes it sound like Bryan Cranston is grounded from cooking meth.
When it comes to method-actors going the extra mile Daniel Day Lewis walks the extra league.
Staying in character, different accent, prep-time. Hell, for Last Of The Mohicans he lived in the wilderness with only time appropriate gear for his survival. Dude’s crazy, but a damn good actor.
You could do a whole series on characters that are horrible people and you're not supposed to like (empathize, sure. Enjoy, certainly. But like personally???)
Agreed. Sherlock Holmes/Dr. House for instance. Rick Sanchez.
Any of the characters from Hotline Miami, sans Beard, Evan Wright and Richter
Black lagoon is basically this in spades. Every character is a terrible person in every way. But damn was it entertaining
Rorschach is a parody character, he's supposed to be a critique of this archetype of cynical violent vigilantes who think they're on some moral high ground while the world is a rotten place and blah blah blah. But the people who are fans of this type of character didn't get the joke and his portrayal by Zach Synder, being the edgelord he is, made this even worse.
Also, Eren Yeager is a perfect example. You're definitely supposed to enjoy the character and to emphasize with him and understated how he is in a situation with no good option, but the amount of people who try to justify literal genocide to defend his actions is astounding. I guess mass genocide is such a enormously awful thing that it's hard to internalize just how terrible it is, especially in fiction. Or you know, maybe it's just 15 year olds being 15 year olds.
I think the line "I am the one who knocks" and the rant beforehand is a great line, cause it gives you a great window into Walt's delusion and shows how exactly wrong he is, considering the very next scene is him getting kidnapped and screaming and crying, he's a scared little boy playing the tough guy.
Breaking Bad has the most accurate depiction if the high of meth and heroin out of pretty much any media out there that I’ve seen. It’s surprising how much they were able to express with such simple scenes.
At the end you mention the character from Schindlers list that Fiennes played. The daughter of the real officer has mentioned a few times that Mr Fiennes played her father so well that it changed her life entirely. I believe you can find an interview with her on youtube somewhere. Her name is Monika Hertwig.
That is a compliment I am sure he is proud of.
“I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!” -Heisenberg
He's so full of shit lol
Jesser where is the cocainer
@@cerealmilk1803 in my nose mr whiter
For the movie "Black Mass" Jonny Depp's acting was so through as James "Whitey" Bulger, That the consultants (people that actually knew him) swore it was like seeing a ghost.
The phrase 🎵"Never take Cough Syrup and mix it up with iodine and lye"🎵 comes to mind
no way in hell this video is gonna be monetized, i'll go and watch another one to compensate for lost revenue
The fact that you got hung up on mispronouncing "methamphetamine" while literally one word earlier saying "manufacturer" instead of "manufacture" is fucking hilarious
One of my favorite lines is "why are you blue?"
Can't wait for the newest season of Better Call Saul.
When?
@@ricardoobando1278 2022 sadly
I don't even know how to correctly pronounce my own last name if it makes you feel any better...
My own mom pronounces my first name wrong, and she is the one that named me after her dad...
sounds german, should be easy enough, listen to google translate say it
Easy if you are German. 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, I know the german pronunciation, but I live in the US, and its not like every Wagner is pronounced Vagner, or someone like Robert Reich pronounces his name like Robert Rike which he doesn't. Also, not one Beichner in my family pronounces it Bikener. It must have been dropped to Americanize us, or nobody wants people to associate it with the 3rd Reich in their mind when trying to pronounce something.
Don't know if it has been mentioned but the "pizza" house now has a fence around it completely blocking any access to it for the public
This video just convinced me that Breaking Bad was 100% an operation by the DEA to manufacture more meth to raise their budget.
Boys 👮♂️it’s this one… get him…
3:30 yeah a lot of people just started adding blue dye to cheap meth. I think vice did a video on it where the dude just said strait up, we added the blue dye after breaking bad and people think its so much better now
They actually teach you how to make meth in many HAZMAT technician training courses, so you can recognize it in any step of the process. This way you can preserve what the police department would need as evidence after the hot entry is made. So depending on the size of the area, many firemen know how to make meth, since many are HAZMAT technician trained.
so, you are better off kidnapping a fireman instead of a pharmacist? This video is putting many people in danger
@@DadSkool Information doesn't put people in danger. Don't stigmatize knowledge. It's bad people and a LACK of education which puts people in danger.
Christian Bale has done absolutely ridiculous things to his body for film, in short periods.
Before I knew they used candy, I learned how to make candy to make some “meth” for a W.W. cosplay.
The idea of Rookie DEA agents walking on a tv show set as training is hilarious when you realize the setup makes cotton candy flavored cough drops... more or less.
The world's most realistic Eazy Meth playset.
My favourite scene was where White's main competition realizes the wheelchair-bound old cartel owner has a bomb in his chair and the ringing bell is about to set it off.
My favorite line is when Jesse is getting ready to shoot the drug dealers, and walter runs them over out of nowhere, gets out of the car, looks at Jesse, and just growls, "run"
Every single detective cop drama. A relative of mine is one of the leading forensics experts in the country, having spend decades as an actual detective, and all those shows are outrageously inaccurate it's become a running joke.
I kept getting your videos in my feed, but I didn't give your channel a fair shot till I saw you pop up on Cracked. SO GLAD I DID!
Thanks for great videos!
My favourite is when Walt first enters the laundromat lab. The music, the expression on Walt's face and the realisation taht he's past the point of no return
Pls dont hate me but i want to help nisha its "shy-uh la-buff"
I love that this episodes subject was literally great world building! I mean, the timing is perfect 'cause I finally after 3 years research got my thesis done from a scripwriting/director perspective since I major those subjects . I love to paint as accurate depiction as I can in my screenplays, I'm one of those detail dictators lol
So I can only respect how far they went just to make sure everything is made authentically. It's the reason why my scripts take a long time 'cause I aim for accuracy and I'd love to see that more in TV-series & Movies.
It's a crazy coincidence that you'd have Mario Paint music playing in the background on this vid. I just received a port created by a friend of mine that makes the emulator pick up a normal PC mouse as a SNES mouse so that I can play Mario Paint on my PC. This was 3 days ago that I started playing it since I owned a SNES as a kid. The first thing I did was make a Tetris theme music in composer.
Amazon sells a book on how to make meth, "Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture Vol. 8." They also sell books by the the same author on how to make LSD, workshop explosives, and perform Brazilian knife fighting techniques.
Asking people why they put "I am the one who knocks" on T-shirts is like asking why people put "Why so serious" on shirts.
My favourite realistic protrail is actually the head chef from ratatouille and how she talks to the line cooks and how the kitchen is set up
The Virgin “I am the one who knocks” vs the Chad “Yer gaht dam right”
'The Fly' is divisive, but their other bottle show, '4 Days Out,' is a masterpiece. *"A robot?"* 😂
My favourite moment is pretty early on when the family comfronts Walter. It is sad, but oh is it hilarious as hell
Tom Clancy wasn't part of the Navy, NSA, or CIA, but he would get letters from them asking him how the fuck he knew about the things he was writing about.
I remember someone saying the only decent portrayal of hackers actually hacking was in the show Mr. Robot. It's a long and boring process, that most times rely on social engineering.
Apparently 99% or close to it is possible, but there would be no market for it because meth addicts aren't connoisseurs. They're looking for quantity over quality.
To an extent. You can tell what’s stepped on and what’s good shit but you can’t tell if it’s just good or is cut with sum
You can water it down later down the supply train
"Worcestershire sauce" I use that like daily
The real secret is, if you watch the show from the beginning episode, it teaches you how to make crystal meth. You just have to watch Walter White make it every single time, because the first time he purposely doesn't give you a portion or the formula, and on the second you get more, and so on.
Antidisestablishmentarianism is my favorite word to say.
In Blackadder III, Prince George struggles to say that word with hillarious results.
My favourite scene is in crawl space where Walter has his break down. Brilliantly acted by Bryan Cranston.
I always love the British pronunciation & spelling of “aluminum” (“aluminium”) bc the way we Americans say/spell just doesn’t compare imo it’s not that it’s bad, it’s just when I 1st heard the British version (probably on The IT Crowd or Doctor Who) it just sounded BETTER; the extra “i” makes it more metallic sounding, a la “titanium” & Marvel’s famed “vibranium” or Avatar’s “unobtainium” just try to say “titanum” “vibanum” or “unobtainum” without giggling from how stupid it is or wanting to take a nap immediately after bc of how dull they sound.
.....that....doesn't make sense. Aluminum doesn't sound stupid or dull. It's just how the united states and Canada.
We all say it "wrong" tho because the man who named it preferred alumium. But then he changed it to aluminum. The states and canada took that. And europe decided to make it aluminium to match of with names such as sodium, titanium, etc. We even had a debate on if we'd call it aluminum or aluminium iirc.
@@dakotablount251 I don’t believe that you properly understand the term “imo” otherwise I fail to see how this doesn’t make sense: “imo” or I.M.O. is an abbreviated acronym for “in my *opinion” and an “opinion” is a personal or subjective preference or ideal that one can hold about reality without necessarily having any universally quantifiable or relevant qualities. Ispo Facto: when I put “imo” in a statement, it is essentially shorthand for: “this is how my unique feelings as an individual prefers things, and all information following are drawn directly from that concept or applied to it in some way”So, to reiterate, IN MY OPINION: the common British/UK pronouncing of the term “aluminum/aluminium” is, to me (a unique individual with my own personal experiences & tastes, who happens to be a US citizen raised on the US/Canadian pronunciation) an aesthetically preferable phonetic of the term, over the US/Canadian common pronunciation. I’m not stating that there is any one de facto objectively “right” or “correct” way to pronounce it, nor will there ever be in all likelihood bc language is fluid & constantly changing.
Getting to it late but got to it eventually
I just imagine Bryan Cranston on the street handing people meth with a Walter white mask
i feel like how you placed the tape on your greenscreen anchor so much the image in place it almost feel real
hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. Being in a wheelchair, the only thing more ironic than that is my name.
I’m currently on season 3 of breaking bad, actually midway through the fly episode, but I think I have experienced the best episode already. Peekaboo in season 2, where Jesse is trying to get his cash from spooge, and has the moral quandary of that kid hanging around Jesse and the gun. That whole episode, with almost no dialogue, was so amazingly heart breaking. Loved it
Blue meth is impossible to cook unless they add food colouring. Pure meth is actually colourless, just a little creative liberty the show took :-)
Right, and my memory could be wrong but I believe even in the show the color came from when they were forced to switch to some different chemical to make the meth.
@@TheModShopCO it was the alternative ingredients/method they had to use. The blue colour was from the impurities
they had to download the blue meth from bittorrent via p2p
The movie fighting with my family did really well to replicate the real life members of the family, not exact looks, but attitude and mannerisms and vocab
My favorite long word to say is "hippoptomonstrosesquippedaliophobia"...
It's the fear of long words... Whomever came up with that is a sadist.
ok
Babies first meth set. Make fun candy meth in the comfort of your own home.
Disclaimer: Please don't make meth
You also have the Black Hole from Interstellar being so realistic that the simulation used to create the effect for the movie actually helped real world scientists in their research into real life Black Holes
I've been a cobbler (shoe repairman) for about 9 years, and when I watched The Cobbler with Adam Sandler I was surprised how accurately he was doing the job, and quite well I might add. He trained for nearly a year I believe to learn the basics
Wow I honestly never thought I'd hear accurate portrayal and Adam Sandler in the same sentence lol. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of his work but I've always seen him as a wacky comedian. To be fair I haven't seen him in any serious roles before lol.
@@xavierabii548 Then watch Uncut Gems. Even people who hate Adam Sandler should watch it because they'll be satisfied and enjoy it one way or another.
@@smward87 Yeah I heard that movie was pretty good.
The desert episode is actually the first episode I ever saw of the show and was what got me into it, has always been my favorite episode as well
I grew up in Missouri and when I was a kid, it was the top producing meth state in the US. I remember one day years ago when a lady was arrested at the WalMart in my home town for stealing products to make meth. She was dumping the ingredients into a water bottle and making “shake and bake” in her hoodie pocket.
She was making meth.....inside Walmart....in her hoodie....in a water bottle. I’ve thought about it for years, still can’t figure it out.
Apparently the HBO adaptation of Generation Kill is THE most accurate depiction of the American military machine ever, the show was consulted on by First Recon and one of the characters is played by his real life counterpart (Rudy). Everything from the way people wear their MOP suits to the jargon and constant background radio was consulted on.
A lighter take on Ralph Fiennes being scary in costumes is when he made a child cry when he was dressed up as Voldemort.
Honestly I'm a bit surprised it took them a long time to find the DEA to teach them. Like I have only a vague idea of how this happened but one of the administers at one of schools I went to, had a friend who was in the DEA at one point and he did those "drugs are evil, and never touch them ever" talks for the school. Which by the way are super weird when you take prescription medications and they also happen to sold on the street. Anyway, dude straight up taught a bunch of kids how clartin and other drugs can be turned into illegal drugs as a fun talking point to stop it from being too heavy. I'm sure he skipped steps and left a lot out but still the school I went to couldn't have been the only one that had this happen.
I feel bad, I dropped the show because I got bored in the fly episode
I always intended to go back to it, just never did
Another very accurate portrayal in TV is the series Code Black. Holy hell are those conversations in the corridor and learning during a crisis accurate to real trauma hospitals.
Since youre mentioning "bottle?" episode i believe a episode of a anime called gintama has a episode that uses pretty much just a single frame of animation
which episode
@@aaronvasquez4763 47, but after further research its just the beginning of the episode
My favourite moment is when they kill gus at the nursing home I love how he walks out "fine" fixes his tie then drops dead
The Ralph Fiennes story reminds me of the significantly lighthearted story of Tara Strong as Baby Dill from Rugrats, where her baby sounds were so accurate she made a pregnant sound editor lactate.
Shia had the most unpronucable name until Elon had a child.
I actually liked the fly episode. It was a snapshot of how Walter White is trying to exert complete control over EVERYTHING and yet there's always some small thing he can't control. Instead of working with what he has, he has to get hyper focused on fixing every detail to make it perfect.
My favorite long word is 'acetylsalicylic acid.' It's asprin, but when I needed to know it for a test in high school chemistry I never forgot it. Now it's just fun to say.
Season 4 finale spoilers.

One of the best lines in the show is when Walt is on the phone to Skylar just after Gus dies saying "i won" just as the camera fades to his pool where he had the poison growing
My mouth dropped on that final shot. I instantly watched the episode again. It changed everything. Absolute brilliance
"If what you say is true.....
And you don't know who I am....
Perhaps, you're best course of action...
Would be....
...to tread lightly. "
Best line.
@@LovelyDestructionSTL that scene gave me chills. Breaking bad really is the greatest show of all time
