"What does a man do? A man provides for his family. The family meal at Los Pollos Hermanos is $19.99. With your new employee discount, it is $18 plus tax."
My own father had so much fear of being not enough, of not being able to be the said "provider" that it stressed him over 15 years. As a grown man and caring friend I advise every man to not stress themselves too much, so they are actually making it worse. Time spent in peace ends in much more endurance and patience than time spent in stress and fear. Stay healthy, fellas.
Every now and then youtube keeps recommending me these Breaking Bad clips. It's probably because every now and then I click and watch on them, right. But I keep on being both surprised and impressed by just how well thought out all the writing and storytelling was. Much more so than I realized when watching it as it was airing obviously. But also just how well you can connect all these dots them seem so blatantly obvious now in hindsight, but you didn't really think too much about at the time.
Thegirmaster Jesse ruined his life on his own by getting into the drug business, as for Hank he should have listened to Walter & treaded lightly, Walt always tried to save Hank & even still let Jesse live after ratting him out
David love it. For Mike: “What does a man do? A man starts and finishes a job because he shook on it... Even if it means hanging out with geeky chemists and less than smart druggies.... he ignores their annoying arguing and just gets it done... Because he’s a man.”
No doubt. Gale is a libertarian, I imagine Gus's speech to Gale was pretty similar to what Gale told Walt - if he doesn't do it, someone else will, and they won't do it as well.
@@keitafoxy7428 That's great....continuing on for Jessie: "What does a man do? A man shows up, does his job for his superiors and goes home....even if it means forgoing life's pleasures, he does his duty first and foremost....Because he's a man"
Mire Vale he talks to the dea so he knows whats their next move....think girl....havent u ever heard that saying that goes keep ur friends close but ur enemies closer
Gus is a pretty masculine character, and he likes to define his idea of what it means to be a man to other masculine characters. Especially when they’re older and highly reflective on their lives as men.
@@actuary1233 no because it all started when Jesse was gonna get killed by those two dealers and Walt saved him. Either way it was always gonna go rock-bottom, it was a drug business, someone was always gonna come knocking in the end.
Nicely put, it's so true.. Now If Walter's ego/manliness wasn't so damaged they both truly would have built a long lasting empire that would've made them millions if not billions.
I think it’s even more brilliant on Gilligan’s part because it wasn’t the crazy money Gus offered Walt that convinced him, it was Gus playing into his ideology
I would imagine after surviving the likes of LALO SALAMANCA?? Almost ANYONE would be jaded yet EXPERT LEVEL in their 'mob world game of chess' so to speak and how to.. hustle & play the likes of Heisenberg!!!
didn't he admit he never did it for his family in the last episode. He said specifically "I didn't do it for this family, I did it for myself and I was good at it" I'm paraphrasing, but the point stands.
Did you know that to make this scene as authentic as possible, and to set up for the then upcoming prequel, Vince Gilligan had both Tony Dalton and Patrick Fabian buried underneath the set. As we can clearly see, this detail made this scene stand out even more, bravo Vince!
I think this conversation stuck with Walter all the way till the end of the series when he tried to send Walt Jr. the package of money. He probably knew he was no longer loved, but still, on some level he wanted to provide
@@AnnaLVajda I don't think Walter Jr. will ever have positive feelings for his father ever in his life. Maybe brief memories but then he remembers who his father was and those memories become bitter. Because from Walter jr's perspective his dad was just a drug Lord and the family man and father he thought he knew was all an act
@@paulcervantes528 How could that have been an act if he was a family man and father for all of Walter jr's childhood but started to cook meth in the last couple of years? It should be clear that this was not an act. Not to mention that he tried to provide to the very end. Why would he do that if it was all an act? I think the reason why Walt jr is mad is that he believes Walt has killed his uncle and that he believes the last phone call would have been real. He probably will find out that both assumptions are wrong. The police investigation will show that Walt actually sacrificed his life to kill the people who killed Hank and Skyler would probably tell him the truth about the phone call after the process is over and if she thinks he can handle it.

José Luis Cabáñez Castanedo I Agree with you, in a society that deactivates the vast majority of males as blue collar slaves it was only natural for him to pull it off until in the end with such extreme measures.
Your comment simply means that you did not quite get what Walt's point of view, Walter wants to be the king, that was explained when he said"I'm the one who knocks" & "say my name" & "I'm in the empire business", he worked Jesse when he poisened Brock to make Gus visit him, and when he failed he trapped him with Hector, he planned to do so before Jesse realised that the men who likes how friend where Gustavo's.

I found this by searching "breaking bad toxic masculinity" lmao it's great that you are motivated, but... maybe it's a bit dangerous getting motivated by asking you to "be a man" by a professional manipulator?
Yes, it’s a real term, no matter how much it upsets you, and it’s also a real threat to millions of men across the world. Ironically you’re proving his point, the dude was just saying “hey, considering the context of this scene is a murderous drug lord manipulating someone’s ego to coerce them into the drug life just cuz it’s ‘what a man does’, maybe this isn’t the best scene to be motivated by’ and here you are getting triggered over it cuz he used a word you didn’t like. Lol Hilarious.
This "man provides" speech is more significant when you find out that Giancarlo Esposito himself considered arranging his own death in order to leave some money for his children because he was bankrupted so bad after being divorced. Then he landed this part and the rest is history.
Love how Gus makes it feel like Walt is a King who will have everything taken care of for him. Like he’s a celebrity. Plays right into Walt’s desire to feel powerful
After his divorce, Giancarlo Esposito declared bankruptcy and considered arranging his own death to provide insurance money for his children. Shortly after, he was cast as Gus Fring on 'Breaking Bad,' a role that transformed his life. The acting in the scene is clearly from his core.
@@Dev-ne9jg That's quite literally what the dude you replied to said. Gus fed into his ego and gave him an excuse despite Walt knowing Gus' ulterior motive. He didn't get anything twisted.
As smart as Walter is, emotionally he is a stunted mess, and Gus was able to read him like a book. The fact that Walt was smart enough to see it made it even easier, because Walt thinks he’s too smart to be manipulated, especially since he “sees” it.
@@sa340x 3 months, 3 million dollars cash, that's all you have to do. I'd take it, because a Man provides. Use the money smartly and so it won't be a dirty money.
Spot on. It's like...A a temptation/seduction. The tempted needs an excuse, a justification provided by the other side in order to override his their consciousness. It's like a dance...a deal. The two parties are aware of it, and they follow the steps. So briliant...
this scene convinced me that Gus was like the devil... not only is he able to offer the sweetest temptation and knows how to ask the right questions and play on your most vulnerable points but he does it all with the cool calculations of a meticulous chessmaster
That scene was the point of no return. Walter knew what would happen if he took the job - that's why he tried to reason with Gus regarding his family. Morally, he was on the razor's edge at this moment and all Fring needed to do, was slightly tip Walter over to make him fall down the rabbit hole. Brilliant scene!
I think the point of no return was when Gus showed him his secret multi-million dollar drug lab. The only available answers at that point are "yes" and "no (but Walt has a little accident within 24 hours)"
Oi you weren't kidding. Apparently he was thinking about that a year before he got cast as Gus, because he had 4 kids and was broke. In an interview on SiriusXM’s Jim & Sam.
"A man provides for his family. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up. And he does it because he's a man"
@@kojo2773 "why would a man provide when he's not appreciated?" Because then what would there be to appreciate? Your existence? What makes you special? What are you providing to the world for me to appreciate?
Funny because he wrong. You do not provide for a wife that doesn’t respect you. If you do, you will be providing for a wife and the man she cheating on you with
Anyone here after the instagram reel about what happened to him before he came on the show? Esposito wasn't acting here. That was real man to man talk. This is deep
Fresh beans i think we cant decide that. People may begin to watch a show after several years, and we still shouldnt write spoilers under early video clips. I watched it last year and i would be devastated if i learned that walter dies in the end. We can be a bit more careful and its not that hard. I just stated my idea about spoilers, its not the end of the world either.
@@walterlotte4215 I did too for awhile, then got back and watched it because I needed something new to watch. It really does pick up and it’s latter seasons are some of the best tv I’ve ever watched
You know that Gus never says or does anything without a reason, but at 0:20 when he says "quite a lot of planning went into this?" Sounds like genuine pride to me. He's gratified that Walt is so impressed.
This speech gave me chills. Gus' character and acting is just so compelling. There's an air of professionalism and power about him, which makes him all the more terrifying, even though he hasn't done anything yet.
@@bakedbeans5494 at this point it's hard to tell if he's joking or not, but this is nevertheless a great scene for Gus. Especially how he starts the speech in an almost cordial manner like he does with customers at restaurant, but by the time of that second "a man provides" his whole demeanor changes. So if Walt kept refusing, he probably would've sent Mike after him and forced WW to be a cook, whether he liked or not.
That he's manipulating him is beside the point. What he said is an universal truth. Being a man is about providing. Being a man is about being stoic, about not looking for appreciation or a pat in the back when it comes to honor one's responsibility.
Love how this scene shows Gus manipulating Walt’s false sense of masculinity to achieve what he wants; it shows the true mastermind that Gus was, as well as a fault in the great Heisenberg.
Actually in this point in time he's not Heisenberg yet. He's Walt and Walt is about family. Heisenberg is about feeling alive, that's what he said in Season 5 he admits he likes making meth.
@@PsyQoBoy he says basically the exact same thing in season 1 ("i'm awake"). Walt was never in it for the family solely, otherwise he would've taken Schwartz's money.
@@PsyQoBoyit's not some kind of alter ego that he transforms into man. He's walter. Sometimes walter has a better control on his emotions. Sometimes he doesn't. Calling him heisenberg when he's evil really takes the blame off of walt.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969yo no diría que le quita la culpa, heissemberg es el lado de su personalidad donde están sus emociones más negativas, un ejemplo el ego, Walter vivió toda su vida sin importarle que su ego no fuera satisfecho, cuando descubren el cáncer siente una enorme necesidad de cumplir ese ego, y cuando más muestra eso cuando se muestra como heissemberg
And Gus gave him the perfect justification to keep doing it. He saw Walter was conflicted between his family and his ego so he told Walter exactly what he wanted to hear; he was doing the right thing, he will provide for his family, it’s all for his family yadda yadda. He gave Walter the perfect excuse to feed his own ego, just didn’t realize how big his ego could get😂
@@the1stmetalhead where did Gus manipulate Walt. He said he wanted investment. All he did was get Walt to see something in himself. If you call that manipulation ok. Then yea it’s manipulation. So
Damn, that's just excellent planning. The "I did it for me scene" makes sense since it is shown to us in various occasions that he doesn't just want the money, but also the thrill of being an "emperor" in your domain
I absolutely love the theme in the background here, the jingles...sounding like the whimsical ambience of a fantastical sanctuary. It just really adds to the wonder Walter is feeling.
Gus is just as good at manipulation as Walt. He immediately identified what Walt wanted to do, what he wanted to prove to himself - that he could provide for his family, that he needed no one’s help - and exploited that. And he identified these vulnerabilities pretty damn quickly too.
The look on cranston's face doesn't just convey being impressed by the infrastructure at the facility. It's almost kid in a candy shop wonder. The incredibly talented academic finally getting the lab that he knew he always deserved. It's that kind of attention to detail that makes the acting in this show so good.
Gus is so manipulative. He knows how to inflate Walt's ego and how to break him down. Also, Gus is talking about himself here. "A man provides... and he does it even when he is not appreciated, or respected, or even loved." We later find out that his family doesn't appreciate him. In fact, we never really see his family. He's an empty shell of a man, more of a corporation than a human being, and that is exactly what Walt ends up being in his own way. It's just sad to see the decline.
What really makes this scene CHILLING is when you think about Werner Ziegler, Nacho Varga, and everyone else who we HAVEN'T MET yet who MUST have died in the process of creating the super lab... DURING THE COURSE of the years between Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad... the blood that was shed... the lives who were lost DURING THE CREATION... and how HAUNTED it must be from the bodies buried BECAUSE of the lab
@@walterlotte4215 I don't. At times I write extremely eloquently. Other times I write like the Cholos from Califas. Before I would write like the Mezkins from the H-Town (Houston). When I talk I sound like the white boys from the valley. I'll let your imagination guess what race I am.
The soundtdack that was used from the opening scene where Walt is introduced the lab is one of my all time favorite scenes in this series. It's like a dark Willy Wonka theme, coming across the site of his factory for the 1st time, and knowing what he could accomplish.
1:24 You can see Walter is just smiling and it's not because of producing the best crystal meth ever , he could do it on a van if necessary.He is happy because that's all he ever wanted , a professional lab so he could spend time with the other thing he loves like his family:Chemistry
For some reason, I feel like that quote, is applicable irl. Men give their family what they want all the time, women also. But it's usually the man who does the work, men are seen as people who work for their family, if you see a broken pipe or what not you'll immediately go to a man, like your brother or cousin or husband. But if it's other matters it would be women whom you go to. Like fashion, social stuff, etc. My opinion anyways.
@@kojo2773 It is not appropriate to assign specific duties or roles to individuals in a marriage based on their gender. The duties and responsibilities of a marriage should be agreed upon by the couple and can vary depending on their individual needs and circumstances. In a healthy marriage, both partners should share the responsibilities and work together to support each other and maintain the relationship.
Gus has those cold, emotionless eyes of a true shark when moonlighting as a crime lord. Weird how he flips to Mr. Good Boss during daytime but he does stay loyal to HIS employees regardless of which side of the law. Show him loyalty and he will take care of you-cross him and he's flat out scary.
Lmao same I’m watching it to see if I can find new foreshadowing and believe it or not after the 50th time rewatching You always find more foreshadowing details you never spotted before. The few that striked me season 1 and 2 The picture of the sailor waving goodbye to his family with the dog that Walt looks at in the hospital and all throughout the season including the room with the nazis. I never realized how much the sailer in the rowboat waving goodbye Resembled Walt sailing further and further away from his family, also in season 2 the museum where Walt meets up with Skinny Pete badger and combo and when Jesse meets up with them there was pictures on the walls of smoke explosions and airplanes, all signs of What’s to come with Janes father with the airplane Crash.
@@Journey_to_who_knowsI’m not going to stop providing for my kids just because they don’t appreciate me sorry, don’t care how dumb it is. It’s in my nature as a man.

What’s ironic here is that Gus doesn’t have a family and couldn’t really give a shit what a “man’s role” is, he’s just playing Walter. Love this show
Gus has children.

I think it was mentioned at one point that Gus had children of his own
If course he does. He even invited Walt to his place.

As smart as Walter is, emotionally he is a stunted mess, and Gus was able to read him like a book. The fact that Walt was smart enough to see it made it even easier, because Walt thinks he’s too smart to be manipulated, especially since he “sees” it.

Yeah, Gus is playing Walt, but Walt knows he's being played. Doesn't make any difference, though.
gus just speaks the words for walts mind, his heart was there long ago.
Spot on. It's like...A a temptation/seduction. The tempted needs an excuse, a justification provided by the other side in order to override his their consciousness.
It's like a dance...a deal. The two parties are aware of it, and they follow the steps. So briliant...
Underrated comment tbh. Eisenberg was always there, he was never born after Walts cancer

Howard and Lalo offered truly grounded performances in this scene. Incredible.
Such a layered performance that truly cemented their places in this show
@@davidci Truly became part of the foundation of the BB/BCSverse. Astounding.
Too soon!
Agreed! It would've been a grave mistake not to include them.
Skinny Pete and Badger being undercovers for the CIA was an awkward twist I thought.
this scene convinced me that Gus was like the devil... not only is he able to offer the sweetest temptation and knows how to ask the right questions and play on your most vulnerable points but he does it all with the cool calculations of a meticulous chessmaster
Gus is the resurgence of the Great Forgotten Gentleman Villain.
That scene was the point of no return. Walter knew what would happen if he took the job - that's why he tried to reason with Gus regarding his family. Morally, he was on the razor's edge at this moment and all Fring needed to do, was slightly tip Walter over to make him fall down the rabbit hole. Brilliant scene!
Yes. It's like watching walt and heisenburg at war with each other in his body- and heisenburg wins.
There are alot of good people doing bad things in these rabbit holes
I think the point of no return was when Gus showed him his secret multi-million dollar drug lab. The only available answers at that point are "yes" and "no (but Walt has a little accident within 24 hours)"
Brilliantly articulated
Beautifuly put, robot.
Who’s here after finding out Giancarlo was actually contemplating faking being murdered to provide for his family?
Me
Yea
Oi you weren't kidding. Apparently he was thinking about that a year before he got cast as Gus, because he had 4 kids and was broke.
In an interview on SiriusXM’s Jim & Sam.
Gus played Walt like a board game in this scene.
Don't you mean "like a fiddle"? 😜
Played like a fucking piano

Because then what would there be to appreciate? Your existence? What makes you special? What are you providing to the world for me to appreciate?

Walter always wanted it a real laboratory. The final episode shows it when dying in the lab as he was touching the equipment.
Surfmus dude! spoilers! Cmon man!
Deep Thinker he did nothing wrong. Dont go looking for clips if you havent watched a show from 2012.
Fresh beans i have already watched the show, its not about me. One cant give final season spoilers in a season 3 video.
Deep Thinker and Im not targetting u but anyone who watches a show that ended a long time ago. Seasons dont matter in this case
Fresh beans i think we cant decide that. People may begin to watch a show after several years, and we still shouldnt write spoilers under early video clips. I watched it last year and i would be devastated if i learned that walter dies in the end. We can be a bit more careful and its not that hard. I just stated my idea about spoilers, its not the end of the world either.

You know that Gus never says or does anything without a reason, but at 0:20 when he says "quite a lot of planning went into this?" Sounds like genuine pride to me. He's gratified that Walt is so impressed.
and now we have more reasons to why

This speech gave me chills. Gus' character and acting is just so compelling. There's an air of professionalism and power about him, which makes him all the more terrifying, even though he hasn't done anything yet.
Deluded Breaking Bad fan moment.
@@bakedbeans5494 at this point it's hard to tell if he's joking or not, but this is nevertheless a great scene for Gus. Especially how he starts the speech in an almost cordial manner like he does with customers at restaurant, but by the time of that second "a man provides" his whole demeanor changes. So if Walt kept refusing, he probably would've sent Mike after him and forced WW to be a cook, whether he liked or not.
2:18 this reminds me of my dad every time. No matter how I feel about him but he does provide.
I get that Walt needed to find his manhood, but yall praising Gus too much. He is only manipulating him, he is only concerned about Walt as an asset.
Exactly, he then never forgave Walt for saving Jesse & wanted to kill him but was outsmarted and got what he deserved
Its nothing personal it's just good business... Because he's a man!
And that's why gus is so great
Gus wasnt walts Coucellor of course he would try to Manipulate Him to Use him as an asset They were assosiates not freinds
That he's manipulating him is beside the point. What he said is an universal truth. Being a man is about providing. Being a man is about being stoic, about not looking for appreciation or a pat in the back when it comes to honor one's responsibility.
“Quite a lot of planning went into this.”
Watches Better Call Saul:
That was an understatement.
Mr. Zeeeeeigler would agree with you on that
Is that the south wall? Werner? Werner! Mr Ziegler?... Michael! Is that you?
When you realize what’s under the floor..
Perfect manipulation of Walt’s biggest insecurity: not being man enough. Worked brilliantly, until Walt believed he was.
Love how this scene shows Gus manipulating Walt’s false sense of masculinity to achieve what he wants; it shows the true mastermind that Gus was, as well as a fault in the great Heisenberg.
Actually in this point in time he's not Heisenberg yet. He's Walt and Walt is about family. Heisenberg is about feeling alive, that's what he said in Season 5 he admits he likes making meth.
@@PsyQoBoy he says basically the exact same thing in season 1 ("i'm awake"). Walt was never in it for the family solely, otherwise he would've taken Schwartz's money.
@@PsyQoBoyit's not some kind of alter ego that he transforms into man. He's walter. Sometimes walter has a better control on his emotions. Sometimes he doesn't. Calling him heisenberg when he's evil really takes the blame off of walt.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969yo no diría que le quita la culpa, heissemberg es el lado de su personalidad donde están sus emociones más negativas, un ejemplo el ego, Walter vivió toda su vida sin importarle que su ego no fuera satisfecho, cuando descubren el cáncer siente una enorme necesidad de cumplir ese ego, y cuando más muestra eso cuando se muestra como heissemberg
I love how Walter gives the answer "for the good of my family" like a question not an afirmation. He knows deep down that is doing it for himself.
You're goddamn right
And Gus gave him the perfect justification to keep doing it. He saw Walter was conflicted between his family and his ego so he told Walter exactly what he wanted to hear; he was doing the right thing, he will provide for his family, it’s all for his family yadda yadda. He gave Walter the perfect excuse to feed his own ego, just didn’t realize how big his ego could get😂
Gus is a genius, he knows how to recognize the psychological weak points of people and pressure them to get what he wants
That’s having game

Exactly what I thought. Its even more interesting considering the whole connection with W.W. and Willy Wonka.
Jesus you guys. Brilliant observation. Fuck this show it has so many more easter eggs and detail
walt in the gus meth factory
You mean the prequel of snowpiercer
I noticed Walt looks away when he says that he does it for his family.
Nice shot
Damn, that's just excellent planning. The "I did it for me scene" makes sense since it is shown to us in various occasions that he doesn't just want the money, but also the thrill of being an "emperor" in your domain
Playing on Walt's masculine insecurities and societal pressures... this is when Gus became Bravo Vince

Gus is an epic salesman. He completely played to Walt's weaknesses here and took advantage. Well done. One of my favorite BB scenes.
The way they respected each other at this point is so satisfying to watch
Didn’t last long but it was cool.
Two monsters admiring their evilness.
Not sure if Gus really respects Walt. He’d never respect someone who is so driven and blinded by ego. But Walt of course has a hard on for Gus.
And thanks to the latest episode of BCS we now know how this lab was created.

Gus "200 pounds per week" Fring
HEYY LOOK AT HOWARD AND LALO
I absolutely love the theme in the background here, the jingles...sounding like the whimsical ambience of a fantastical sanctuary. It just really adds to the wonder Walter is feeling.
Gus is just as good at manipulation as Walt. He immediately identified what Walt wanted to do, what he wanted to prove to himself - that he could provide for his family, that he needed no one’s help - and exploited that. And he identified these vulnerabilities pretty damn quickly too.
The look on cranston's face doesn't just convey being impressed by the infrastructure at the facility. It's almost kid in a candy shop wonder. The incredibly talented academic finally getting the lab that he knew he always deserved. It's that kind of attention to detail that makes the acting in this show so good.
And you hear candy shop type of music in the background
Am I the only one who returns to this clip "for inspiration"?

In both way you have been manipulated bro

@@Gabriel-sd1oh finally some sense, I thought I was insane looking at all the people who take this scene and those words at face value
It’s so eerie watching this scene now that I know Howard and Lalo are literally dead and buried beneath the lab.
Gus was right, fear is not a good motivator to get Walt to work for him but challenging his manhood and going after his pride was what worked.
Macbeth rip off.
The music in the background, sounds like when a kid wakes up on Christmas and finds everything he wants under the tree.
The germans did it 😂 (better call saul)
well , since the last episode , things got interesting
why didn't he simply put the lab in his chicken farm or whatever the place he was keeping the germans in . would have been simpler and cheaper

*Gus: ''A man provides...''*
*Lalo laughing buried there: ''Go provide chickens, Chicken Man. Cabron.''*
Gus is so manipulative. He knows how to inflate Walt's ego and how to break him down. Also, Gus is talking about himself here. "A man provides... and he does it even when he is not appreciated, or respected, or even loved." We later find out that his family doesn't appreciate him. In fact, we never really see his family. He's an empty shell of a man, more of a corporation than a human being, and that is exactly what Walt ends up being in his own way. It's just sad to see the decline.
EXACTLY
Gus has no family cuz he's gay
@@gijane2cantwaittoseeyou203 ...brothers?
The only family Gus ever had was Max.
And now, we know another fact, There were always two people buried under the noses of walt and jesse,
What really makes this scene CHILLING is when you think about Werner Ziegler, Nacho Varga, and everyone else who we HAVEN'T MET yet who MUST have died in the process of creating the super lab... DURING THE COURSE of the years between Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad... the blood that was shed... the lives who were lost DURING THE CREATION... and how HAUNTED it must be from the bodies buried BECAUSE of the lab
Most likely Lalo Salamanca as we'll, but he deserves it.
Even more so now

Not just the bodies buried because of the lab, but the bodies buried underneath the lab.

The soundtdack that was used from the opening scene where Walt is introduced the lab is one of my all time favorite scenes in this series. It's like a dark Willy Wonka theme, coming across the site of his factory for the 1st time, and knowing what he could accomplish.
1:24 You can see Walter is just smiling and it's not because of producing the best crystal meth ever , he could do it on a van if necessary.He is happy because that's all he ever wanted , a professional lab so he could spend time with the other thing he loves like his family:Chemistry
For some reason, I feel like that quote, is applicable irl. Men give their family what they want all the time, women also. But it's usually the man who does the work, men are seen as people who work for their family, if you see a broken pipe or what not you'll immediately go to a man, like your brother or cousin or husband. But if it's other matters it would be women whom you go to. Like fashion, social stuff, etc. My opinion anyways.
@@kojo2773 they're the core of the family, they bring happiness every day, they teach lessons to the children so they learn.
@@kojo2773 It is not appropriate to assign specific duties or roles to individuals in a marriage based on their gender. The duties and responsibilities of a marriage should be agreed upon by the couple and can vary depending on their individual needs and circumstances. In a healthy marriage, both partners should share the responsibilities and work together to support each other and maintain the relationship.

Lmao same I’m watching it to see if I can find new foreshadowing and believe it or not after the 50th time rewatching You always find more foreshadowing details you never spotted before. The few that striked me season 1 and 2 The picture of the sailor waving goodbye to his family with the dog that Walt looks at in the hospital and all throughout the season including the room with the nazis. I never realized how much the sailer in the rowboat waving goodbye Resembled Walt sailing further and further away from his family, also in season 2 the museum where Walt meets up with Skinny Pete badger and combo and when Jesse meets up with them there was pictures on the walls of smoke explosions and airplanes, all signs of What’s to come with Janes father with the airplane Crash.
