It's not the ''It's all about me'' part that made Jesse disagree, he was doing that the moment Walt opened his mouth.
Maybe it’s deserved. After all, Walt is correct here. And almost every other situation. Truth be told Jesse is basically the reason for their downfall. Imagine if Walt let Jesse die by those 2 drug dealers? What a difference. His only worth in life and to anybody is knowing walt’s formula. That’s it.
@@cactus7198 So what you’re saying is that without Jesse, Walt and Gus could have had a great time happily supplying meth to millions of addicts (destroying countless lives), using children as dealers and killing people. Jesses’ worth more than any of them because he actually has a heart and is willing to endanger his own life for completely selfless reasons.
@@criert135 Lol, Jesse was stealing from Gus' supply and trying to sell it to recovering drug addicts. He complained that Gus was making tens of millions while he and Walt only got peanuts in comparison. Like a teenager flipping burgers at McDonalds complaining the CEO is making more money than them. Walt's an asshole, but Jesse ain't a saint either just because he doesn't want to hurt kids.
Years later and I can't get over how well this scene works as a microcosm of Walt's whole character. He's smart enough to realize exactly what's going on, but his ego and lack of emotional intelligence end up doing the job far better than Gus ever could. Stellar.
I always laugh when Walt is trying to deduce Jesse and Mike's little field trips and then pauses and says "IT'S ALL ABOUT *ME!"* 😂 Like just comically narcissistic lmao

@Ivan be less of an ego maniac and try to get Jesse to figure out the scheme on his own by guiding him gently and sympathetically. The way Walt said it made him sound like a complete self-important dick, he needed to portray it as less about "walt" and more about "Walt and jesse"
He's showing his critical thinking skills but complete lack of emotional intelligence here. He realises they're trying to drive a wedge between them, but doesn't realise he's doing that anyway
Walt was right about Gus trying to create a wedge between him and Jesse, but the way Walt went about explaining it to Jesse, just made him sound egotistically crazy, paranoid, and delusional. And him putting Jesse down did not help his argument either. Like come on, anyone would of walked away from Walt at that moment. 😂
"This is all about me" honestly one of the best lines in the entire show and a brilliant distillation of Walt's psychosis but it works on several levels.
Why don't anyone talk about how Walt has access to his own script? That's literally his superpower. He has the power to transcend dimensions and get a peek at Vince Gilligan's desk.
If Walt had just said, “wow Jesse, that’s amazing! How did you know how to protect him??” And feigned excitement for him, it would have foiled Gus’ plan to divide them. He saw the whole thing and still fell right into it. Good ol Walt’s ego to fuck everything up again.

@@TaxingIsThieving He just saw trought Gus' BS 3 episodes later and still he was right about avoiding him from getting high and getting caught doing meth parties. The point is Walt lacks completely of emotional touch to even express appropriately to others. If Jesse is oversensitive among others, Walt is a mindless stone. His emotional stupidity goes beyond to the point he realized Gus' plan to turn down Jesse and STILL fucking up his relationship according Gus wanted. Luckily Jesse was stubborn enough to keep loyalty with Walt and keeping him alive enough to kill Gus. You call me a feeler and later you complain about your boss being a piece of shit because he is a desensitized bastard who doesnt think of anyone but himself.
I love how Walt has no sympathy or recognition over the fact that he's ruining Jesse's confidence when Jesse is so excited that he came through in the clutch
So fascinating how they’ve got me completely on Jesse’s side on this one and thinking that Walt’s a self centered piece of shit, while also knowing that Walt’s guesses are 100% correct
god every time I rewatch a clip from this show I'm re-blown away by how good the acting is. I mean, its so good that I forget I'm watching acting and get absorbed in the characters. But taking a step back from that and realizing that they are doing this with people and cameras around. Never in a hundred years could I do that
I really liked this part of the show. An invisible chess game started between Gus and Walt, where you couldn't really tell facts from paranoid assumptions. Eerie...
@@dhard yes walt explained it well but you missed the other dudes point. It should be easiest for teachers to scan and understand their environment and immediately cater to that for control. Walts ego is so high he's not willing to lower it not even for his own or jesses sake.

You cant be rational with the irrational at least not directly so to sum it up walt lacks emotional intelligence.
Your comment makes no sense, Walt was 100% correct, it was all about him. Jesse is the one with the ego, he literally never listened to Walt no matter how logical he was.
1997lordofdoom it’s not about being factually right though. Delivery counts too, and I think Gus knew that even if Walt revealed the truth, his arrogance would turn Jesse off
This is actually a great scene. It shows both Walt's genius and ego on a 3 minute run. His genius shows through the fact he was able to figure out the robbery was a setup, without even having been there. His ego, though, shines through the fact that Walt thinks the whole situation has anything to do with him, while in reality Gus was only trying to boost Jesse's confidence so that he would be able to help with the Cartel crisis.
No walt was completely right so it wasn’t ego i mean how can it be ego if your right. Walt’s only mistake is in the way he said it to jesse he should have know better with a fragile crackhead like jesse
@@marioskaloudis22Yea it’s just that he’s too stupid to explain it to Jesse in a way that wouldn’t further drive a wedge between them. His ego is effectively playing him right into Gus’ hands.
That’s Walt for you, brilliantly intelligent with logical and practical matters but lacking emotional maturity and understanding. He plays right into Gus’ hand here and helps drive in the wedge between him and Jesse, despite knowing that is exactly what Gus wants.
Paul's acting can t be more on point than this. After Walt tells him it's all about him, he's going through several emotions and he's so good that every single one is showing off perfectly subtle one after the other while his facial muscles move so slightly. It's incredible how he can portray three different emotions while standing still and not talking. And the transition between them requires accurate and precise contraction of very few face muscles, it's art.
This scene reminds me of what Howard or Chuck went through in Better Call Saul. They’re all basically 100% right in their claims, but without evidence, they come across to their colleagues as delusional. Also, their characters getting really emotional & unhinged about it makes them seem even more insane, even though they’re right. Like Denzel said in Training Day, “It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.”
"It's all about me." is actually a hilarious, comedic line, and I'm not sure how serious it was meant In the outtakes Bryan would often say something ridiculous when he forgot his line and it kinda sounds like that But in a good way, of course.
Another brilliant move by Gus. If Walter suspects the setup, he comes off like a paranoid narcissist and it drives a wedge between him and Jesse. If Walter doesn't suspect it, the wedge happens, exactly how Walter is describing it. It's a no-win for Walt.
What's funny is they're actually both right. Gus needed to occupy Jesse cus he couldn't kill him and was impressed at how Jesse conducted himself. Gus also wanted to drive a wedge between Walt and Jesse to undermine Walt.
He saved Jesse from two dealers, helped Jesse get clean, thought him how cook, gave him his share of the money...What did you want Walt to do? When does Jesse start becoming accountable fro his constant betrayal, stupidity and whining?
The irony of this scene is that, as everyone has pointed out, it does play off of Walter’s insecurity and ego-centrism to be able to explain Gus’ ploy but be unable to convince Jesse of it. But it also utilises Jesse’s own insecurities, “maybe I’m not such a loser after all”, saving Mike made him feel useful which increased his self worth and reduce his dependency on Walter as a father figure of sorts. No one seems to have mentioned this, I guess it really is all about Walter.
Occasionally, instead of watching these clips and thinking "this is an amazing series" I find myself thinking "damn, I wish I could write this something as good as this" It must be extremely satisfying
@@clayjack9969 If you watch BCS, you'll see Mike respects Gus to an extent. They both had a similar goal more or less to bring down the cartel. That's why he's can't stand Walt. Gus was a genius in his own right, ruthless, but ultimately fair and took care of his ppl. Walt was full of ego.
Gus would still have Jesse killed once Walt was dead. Yeah, he may have "respected" Jesse to a degree but it doesn't change the fact that Gus hates to be closely associated with "junkies" which Jesse was (in Gus' mind). While Jesse did turn it around at this point, Gus knew that he was as unpredictable as Walt is (a trait that made Gus really hate Walt).
@@christiankarlkarganilla2763 he kills jesse and he loses the only one who can cook the meth at that high of purity. Unless Gus can find a reliable chemist its unlikely he would kill Jesse and even though he was a junkie, Jesse saved him and Mikes life in Mexico so maybe that changed things between them
@@christiankarlkarganilla2763 True but only applicable before Gus's Mexico tour with Jesse, Jesse earned Gus's and even Mike 's full confidence and respect after that, cuz Jesse basically saved their lives!
Its funny because everyone would think hes so self centred and arrogant and ignorant, the line is very arrogant, ‘its all about me’ but the fact is walt was actually right, it was just a play by gus to get the upperhand on walt
Rewatching this series ,in complete, a few times now it astonishes me how Walt’s deranged mind destroyed a perfectly run empire. Whether it was his paranoia, anger, vitriol, narcissism, jealousy, or general all around psychosis, the king lost his crown to himself.
2:26, okay they might as well have made out at that point, the way how close his face was and Jesse looking at Walters lips like that, I would’ve just went for it
Reminds me of when he took a guy's breath away right in front of Nacho and still, told Nacho "you are mine." I suppose it's always been teased that he likes boys!
"Jesse, isn't it suspicious that the man that wanted you dead some weeks ago, now is trying to give you important jobs, and on the very first day you get robbed and get to be "the man"? With that i don't want to undermine you, i know you have good qualities, and you saved my life doing what you did with Gale, thank you for that. I think we should stay close, and watch out about this Mike/Fring story, i think they want to separate us until they'll kill us both. Love you Jesse." Probably the end of Jesse/Walt drama.
I love how the writing really skilfully brings Walt to that specific inarticulate conclusion "its all about me" but for Jesse and some of the slower audience members that line was their realization of the scene
Jesse was letting Gus and Mike manipulate his emotions and trick him into forgetting that this whole scenario has come about because Walt stepped up to protect him during a hideously self-destructive binge on Jesse's part. Walt set fire to his amicable and mutually respectful relationship with Gus for Jesse, and Jesse turns around lets them dazzle him with flattery.
Walt literally saw through Gus's entire plan but the guy was literally too arrogant to stop it... Walt never realized that his own pride is what would cause his downfall
"So MAYBE I'm not such a loser after all."
Walt: *shakes head* "No, that doesn't add up."
I’m dead 🤣

What's funny is they're actually both right. Gus needed to occupy Jesse cus he couldn't kill him and was impressed at how Jesse conducted himself. Gus also wanted to drive a wedge between Walt and Jesse to undermine Walt.
0:10 Danny devito walking out the door
LMFAO
Omg Frank Reynolds made a cameo!!
I love how Walt is smart enough to realize what Gus is trying to do, but he's stupid enough to actually make it work by the way he talks to Jesse
He sounds crazy, but he was right
"Do you have to have your hands registered as lethal weapons?" is one of my favorite lines
I love how the idea of Jesse amounting to literally anything just does not compute in Walt's head.
A pity Jesse was too insecure to heed Walter's advice. Sure, Walter came off as arrogant, but he was 100% right about all of this.
no ...it was not about him...it was about taking jesse to mexico
The wedge that Walt described was actually THIS conversation.
This was the exact moment when Jesse became a former Navy SEAL
When the girl you’ve never said a word to post something cryptic on her story 2:36
you stole my joke man
Walt to Jesse: it’s just a prank, bro!
Walter was right in the end about this. Mike doesn’t get casually “robbed” out of the blue
This is Walt’s fault for not appreciating Jesse
He saved Jesse from two dealers, helped Jesse get clean, thought him how cook, gave him his share of the money...What did you want Walt to do? When does Jesse start becoming accountable fro his constant betrayal, stupidity and whining?
The irony of this scene is that, as everyone has pointed out, it does play off of Walter’s insecurity and ego-centrism to be able to explain Gus’ ploy but be unable to convince Jesse of it. But it also utilises Jesse’s own insecurities, “maybe I’m not such a loser after all”, saving Mike made him feel useful which increased his self worth and reduce his dependency on Walter as a father figure of sorts. No one seems to have mentioned this, I guess it really is all about Walter.
2:40 looks directly at the camera, acknowledges it, then raises one eyebrow like the Rock.
Do you smell what the Berg is cooking?
Occasionally, instead of watching these clips and thinking "this is an amazing series" I find myself thinking "damn, I wish I could write this something as good as this"
It must be extremely satisfying
God I know right. Except I always wish I could act half as good as these two can.
Loved the part where he says “what if this is… about me, breaking bad?” Brilliant as alway Vince!
Two things can be true. Gus wanted a wedge, but Gus also found respect for the guy he thought was useless.
@@clayjack9969 If you watch BCS, you'll see Mike respects Gus to an extent. They both had a similar goal more or less to bring down the cartel. That's why he's can't stand Walt. Gus was a genius in his own right, ruthless, but ultimately fair and took care of his ppl. Walt was full of ego.
@@clayjack9969 mike was given the chance to flip in s5 but he never did so idk if that’s entirely true.
Gus would still have Jesse killed once Walt was dead. Yeah, he may have "respected" Jesse to a degree but it doesn't change the fact that Gus hates to be closely associated with "junkies" which Jesse was (in Gus' mind). While Jesse did turn it around at this point, Gus knew that he was as unpredictable as Walt is (a trait that made Gus really hate Walt).
@@christiankarlkarganilla2763 he kills jesse and he loses the only one who can cook the meth at that high of purity. Unless Gus can find a reliable chemist its unlikely he would kill Jesse and even though he was a junkie, Jesse saved him and Mikes life in Mexico so maybe that changed things between them
@@christiankarlkarganilla2763 True but only applicable before Gus's Mexico tour with Jesse, Jesse earned Gus's and even Mike 's full confidence and respect after that, cuz Jesse basically saved their lives!
"It's all about me." The truest thing Walt ever said in the show.
I love how Walt is right, but he delivers his reasoning with such arrogance and self-importance that he ends up making their division worse
Walt is like a cartoon villain
“NONONO this whole thing, all of this, IS ABOUT ME!”
"Its all about me"
That's some Sheldon Cooper levels of ego there Walt!!!
Its funny because everyone would think hes so self centred and arrogant and ignorant, the line is very arrogant, ‘its all about me’ but the fact is walt was actually right, it was just a play by gus to get the upperhand on walt
2:34 Me after watch Ryan Gosling's movies
The way Walt looks down at Jesse's hands, it's hilarious 1:00
Gus was always 2 steps ahead of Walt. Gus knew Walt would confront Jesse about this and thus draw them even more apart.
Rewatching this series ,in complete, a few times now it astonishes me how Walt’s deranged mind destroyed a perfectly run empire. Whether it was his paranoia, anger, vitriol, narcissism, jealousy, or general all around psychosis, the king lost his crown to himself.
2:26, okay they might as well have made out at that point, the way how close his face was and Jesse looking at Walters lips like that, I would’ve just went for it
I love how Walt is right about being a set-up but the way he says it makes him out like a paranoid lunatic. I wouldn't have believed him either lol
Jesse:
Walter: "This is ALL about ME"
OH MY GOT
LOOK AT THIS ACTING 2:32
I love how Walt was actually entirely right here
"its all about me"
How cute gus showing signs of love to walter 😊
Reminds me of when he took a guy's breath away right in front of Nacho and still, told Nacho "you are mine." I suppose it's always been teased that he likes boys!
"Jesse, isn't it suspicious that the man that wanted you dead some weeks ago, now is trying to give you important jobs, and on the very first day you get robbed and get to be "the man"? With that i don't want to undermine you, i know you have good qualities, and you saved my life doing what you did with Gale, thank you for that. I think we should stay close, and watch out about this Mike/Fring story, i think they want to separate us until they'll kill us both. Love you Jesse." Probably the end of Jesse/Walt drama.
2:33 Lewis Strauss when Oppenheimer and Einstein were talking to each other
2:33 single mothers on father's day
this is the moment walt realizes hes in Breaking Bad created by Vince Gilligan, truly a moment in this tv show bravo bince billigan
I love how the writing really skilfully brings Walt to that specific inarticulate conclusion "its all about me" but for Jesse and some of the slower audience members that line was their realization of the scene
he loves jessie like his son. maybe than his own son.
Jesse is much smarter than anyone gives him credit for.
Jesse was letting Gus and Mike manipulate his emotions and trick him into forgetting that this whole scenario has come about because Walt stepped up to protect him during a hideously self-destructive binge on Jesse's part. Walt set fire to his amicable and mutually respectful relationship with Gus for Jesse, and Jesse turns around lets them dazzle him with flattery.
@@Gunleaver 🤨
Jesse was never a loser he was blackmailed by walt then he couldn't get away. Even when he did for a while. Until the end.
My memories of breaking bad are slowly fading away so I watch these every now and then lol
« This is all about me » has to be the funniest line in the show
The hilarious thing is while it's NOT all about Walt, he is correct in all his deductions.
Walt literally saw through Gus's entire plan but the guy was literally too arrogant to stop it...
Walt never realized that his own pride is what would cause his downfall
@@UnisRapper What is your favorite FRB?
@@Kenny-the-Platypus none i hate frb
"Register this" lolll it's been in my head for a whole day
Gus was stupid to hire Jesse when he could have hired the 2 best hitmen in the west of the Missisipi
