The military forces people to eat fast. My parents are both veterans and full meals with them usually last about 7 minutes with them. A single part of the meal is on average like 3 minutes, so mayhaps the security guard is ex-military?
I love how when Jimmy is talking about everything else he's lost he sounds fake as hell but the moment he mentions his "brother" he looks/sounds dead serious
Another shining example of Jimmy letting out his genuine pain in the context of a con so he doesn't have to reflect on his emotions. Love this damn character so much.
Crazy how he only brings up Chuck are 1) at the bar hearing to manipulate them 2) when he talks to Cheryl at Howard’s wake 3) this time to manipulate Gerry/terry/Jerry/Larry
The moment he fell i actually felt like the operation was going to fail, its great how the writers, the actors, the ambientation are able to make you feel like you are part of the scene.
Stop praising Vince in everything. Firstly , the main screenwriter who writes the main plot for this series is Peter Gould . Not Vince. Secondly, such details are written and shown by the writers and directors of certain episodes. The director of this episode Michelle MacLaren . Writer Alison Tatlock. Thank them for it
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е Yeah i think people are taking the "bravo vince" meme literally lol. Aside from being the co-creator, Vince admitted that his involvement with the show is very minimal and he really just leaves it all to Gould and the writing team.
When that lady said to tell the maintenance to give that area extra polish I thought Jeff would come in contact with the cleaning crew, didn’t know he’d slip 😂
Imagine if after this heist, instead of reverting to his Slippin’ Saul days, he continued forming a genuine friendship with the guard and just built an affable presence as Gene. If only…
Blame Jeff who approached him just because he recognize him or blame Saul for making the commercials on tv on Alburqueque everywhere to promote his job.
It’s saddest part about this is that while Gene / Jimmy was trying to distract the security guard he wasn’t lying when he said that he has no one and that everyone will either not care or forget that he existed when he dies. he is like he said a ghost. the heist and blackmailing Jeff will probably the only time he will ever feel like Saul Goodman again
@@HOTD108_ all the games they’re referring to took place in fall of 2010. I believe Martinez set the freshman total yard record October 21st vs Oklahoma state
I love the little dramatic _No_ Jeff delivers when looking at the cashmere. Pat Healy plays him really well, I hope he has a happy ending in spite of Gene's relapsing, I've grown to really like the guy.
In the podcast for this episode, Pat describes how he had to basically run for hours as they did many takes of this scene. Eventually he collapsed from exhaustion and being overheated. Albuquerque is at a higher altitude than he is used to (I think he’s based in New York). He was ok after rest and rehydration.
In spite of what Gene is doing here, I believe that every word that he said to the officer is genuine. His best friend Marco is dead, Chuck was burned alive, and Kim left him. He has no more loved ones.
It's so funny to me when he says "I don't know!" Like he's saying "I don't know what to say in order to distract you from the monitors". That's hilarious!
this seems paralleled when the scene where Walter is planting a bug in hanks office and he cries about his family - they both use their real pain to distract someone in a tight spot
my main issue is that they feel like two different characters, the old Jeff has this ominous, threatening presence (especially his gaze) while the new Jeff feels more insecure and weak
" I am not crazy! I know they didn't polish those tiles. I knew it was after "Uggs look funny". One after Calvin leathers as if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. She - she polished the tiles, she got Barbara to ask maintenance to polish it for her. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? "
I love the details at how before when the sheriff talked sports with him, Jimmy seemed zoned out or didn't completely understand but tonight, he had to be as convincing as possible so he did his homework
Gene/Saul opens up about losing Marco, Chuck, and Kim and he realizes, this is the first time he's thought about them in years. He's been Gene/Saul for so many years, playing up these personas and repressed Jimmy for so long, to the point where it's only now, years later in the middle of a heist, he opens up about that trauma he lived through as Jimmy. Sure he uses it to his advantage, but he still opens up those emotional wounds from years in his past "Eventually you realize you haven't thought about them. And you move on"
I like how Jimmy hit him with the “what’s the point of my, life? My brother and parents are dead and and I have no wife, nobody will bat an eye if I don’t show up to work tomorrow” And frank was basically like “you’ll get over it”
In the Philippines, organized theft operations like this are actually quite common, and sales clerks, and i having been a department store crew before, know we had to take some quick inventory of all the items in our respective assigned areas before and after our workshifts, daily. This would not have worked in our country, maybe in the US they have grown complacent and just rely entirely on security cameras and maybe some special Shoplyfter officers 😏
I think my favorite thing honestly about the football convo between Saul and the guard is that it’s actually historically accurate. Everything they talked about actually happened in that 2010 season. “Martinez” is obviously a reference to QB Taylor Martinez, talking about the move to the Big Ten the next season, the renovation of Memorial Stadium, Bo Pelini, and I’m pretty sure they mentioned the Texas game for that season? Vince and Peter really dug deep to make sure the writing in this show was that perfect. They really are some of the greats.
Some lovely crisp sound design in this, proper ASMR. Great tense scene. Wasn't buying the Saul bit though, it's obvious he's looking at the screens and trying to distract, so felt a bit Scooby Doo and silly for me. Though, as a whole, the whole scene still works. I don't think he was being sincere at all with the "my brother...is dead" bit either, it's still an act at this point. Jimmy really was buried by Saul right up until the very end. Damn I miss this show.
@@theopratama9047 I know the feeling. I lived in nowhere Illinois. If you wanted anything outside of a handful of restaurants, you needed to travel 40 minutes to an hour to the next town over.
I don't get it? Why didn't Gene tell his friend that the store was being robbed? I get that he was in shock from his brothers passing and his wife's, but still!
Okay. If you're a lawyer and a dishwasher at the same time and you recommend to the bus boy that he checks out Better Call Saul I don't know it kind of sounds like a familiar story
I just noticed that the guy falls in the exact same way that Jimmy did when he was scaming the guys of the music store. Also, this time is really the fault of the shop, not his. So, if they weren't stealing, that could have been a big sue. Also, i read somewhere that Saul ''always uses honest emotions, in dishonest ways''.So, he wasn't lying, not at all.

I don't think so. Pretty sure he's only bringing it up as a manipulation tactic.

Tried a cinnabon for the first time yesterday and there's no way it only took this guy 3 minutes and 17 seconds to eat. Took me 8 minutes lmfao
The security guard was a pro
Some people eat fast
Gotta remember that the guy is a security guard, i suppose he eats fast so he can get back to duty sooner
Bro is a professional in this, I suppose.
The military forces people to eat fast. My parents are both veterans and full meals with them usually last about 7 minutes with them. A single part of the meal is on average like 3 minutes, so mayhaps the security guard is ex-military?

عالی گفتی مهران جان. حسرت شده بود یه ایرانی تو کامنتای یه جای درست و حسابی ببینم 💙⚘
Even his parents
Yeah, his facial expressions when he talked about his brother really reminded me of Jimmy (rather than Gene).
Another shining example of Jimmy letting out his genuine pain in the context of a con so he doesn't have to reflect on his emotions. Love this damn character so much.
It's the only way/motivation for him to do so. Great writing.
Crazy how he only brings up Chuck are
1) at the bar hearing to manipulate them
2) when he talks to Cheryl at Howard’s wake
3) this time to manipulate Gerry/terry/Jerry/Larry
Damn it Jerry!
To Chuck's insurance company to jack up his policy :'D
I guess Chuck didn't know how much he was right about Jimmy's emotions being real, yet still being part of the show.
@Angie The Siren I think you’re right. doesn’t he go outside and have a moment after this?
Also to Howard when saying «You klled brother and you're sorry??»

Imagine if he was in the Peter Griffin dead position
Honestly one of the best scenes in the entire show.
It was, the rest of the episodes didn't hit has hard, not even the confession, but it was still great for Walter to get mentioned one last time
Imagine the security guards seeing the news that their cinnabon friend was arrested
It's so funny to me when he says "I don't know!" Like he's saying "I don't know what to say in order to distract you from the monitors". That's hilarious!

I love when writers know when there should be comedy and when there shouldn't be. I wish Marvel had writers like that
He’s lying and deceiving by telling the truth. Only BB and BCS could pull something like that off.
This show is drama, but nothing can change the fact that Jeff slipping and Jimmy chocking because of it made me laugh for 3 hours straight.
Usually in shows or movies, the PAST is shown in black and white, but in Better Call Saul it's the opposite, Vince is a genius
This is truly a Bravo Vince moment!
Wow he did the opposite
Are you really Billy Butcher?
Holy crap! Bravo Gilligan did it again!
Unpopular opinion: new Jeff is better than old Jeff. I really like new Jeff
Yeah the new Jeff really grew on me. But if Jeff was like this from the beginning, I would've liked him sooner.
The other Jeff had a punchable face and had really irritating attitude.

Say whatever you like about Saul being tricky but this stuff came from the bottom of his heart
I'm ngl the combination of the black and white current time while robbing this mall at night time made this suspenseful.
I like how Jimmy hit him with the “what’s the point of my, life? My brother and parents are dead and and I have no wife, nobody will bat an eye if I don’t show up to work tomorrow”
