Three bald men fighting over which bald man is more right and bald
Jesse wasn’t bald here.
Breaking Bald
@@H.K.5 Bald enough and with that widows peak, he'll be there soon enough.
May the baldest man win
They're all right!
Jesse made a good point. They were cooking way more with Gus. How can Walt expect to make the same amount of money but only cooking a small fraction of what he did before
Exactly and walt forgots about 3 important things that gus had a lot of connections to sell to and a lot more employees and bigger and better machines to make more stuff
It was less about the actual and practical $ & % amounts and more about making the business HIS. He wanted to call the shots and do it his way because he’s the genius, innovator, et cetera. His ego blinded him many times and this was one of those times.
That's the point: greed is irrational.
Heisenberg's product is unique and he has monopoly, therefore lowering volume increases scarcity, demand and price.
@@redadamearth I don't think in Walt's case it is greed. Its pure ego.
"Just because you shot Jeese James, doesn't make you Jeese James"
Walt's fragile little ego, surely felt that one 🤣
Worst thing to say to a guy who will do anything to win
Walt's fragile ego was basically the plot device for the show. If Walt just shut the f'up and swallowed his pride he could've cooked on the DL in a meth super lab and been rich.
@@raulbetancourt5795 Do you not know what the point of that line was?
Fragile?
Its hard to take words like that from a gen that shatters.
What a crock of shit, Walt was 10 times the man Jesse James was and he knew it. Mike's constant whining didn't affect his ego at all
For a crime boss Walt doesn't seem to understand that you always reward loyalty bc as soon as you don't then why should anyone be loyal at all.
Walter was never good at staying on top. The actual hard part of climbing to the top of the pile
@@twiliblade literally up to episode 3 of season 5 Walt had every chance to pull out and make it right, but he's keep climbing higher - the more he climb, the more depraved he became
even until is very own downfall, he's got the last laugh over everyone, Walt is the perfect combination of talents and lucks
They don’t work for him. What happened in the show would have happened in real life. Or they’d be so scared of what would happen they wouldn’t say anything. Imagine thinking you get hazard pay for working for a cartel
People talk all the time. They just rarely have enough to offer to bring the big guys down
I kind of agree with Walt here, a cartel would’ve killed to silence them. Mike was to attached, they were loyal to Mike, not Walt, they would’ve turned on Walt for a deal.
The way Walt has the audacity to complain that his take home pay is less than with Gus 😂
its the percentages that bother him.. not the dollar amount .
The way Mike had the audacity to take hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay off “his guys” without broaching the subject with Walt or Jesse
@@Redhotshawntexas
They are the reason why Mike his people are in jail to begin with. If they just kept doing their job and didnt kill Gus they would have being fine stacking bills.
They wanted to go in business with Mike, this is the cost.
Your talking like Mike looking after his people is a bad thing
@@DutchGabbersshort sighted selfishness and greed isn’t just Walt’s specialty.
@@DutchGabbersnice strawman argument.
Mike rattling off fees like he's Ticketmaster
This was so frustrating to me cause the whole reason anyone needed hazard pay was cause of Walt.
What frustrates me is how Walt complains about only 137,000 dollars of tax free money for being a chef. Even Wolfgang Puck doesn't make that much everytime he cooks.
No it’s because of mike using the lawyer to make the deposits
@@michaelsouslin891
Not tax free cause everyone has to pay taxes even drug lords.
@@rusty7984hey 🎉
Gus was so professional always and nice to Walt, wasnt mad at him saving Jesse from the two dealers, didn't threaten him or anything, never had a problem with Jesse and Walt simply TOTALLY WENT NUTS OUT OF NOWHERE!!🤬🤬🤬
He totally without any reason ruined the whole thing!💁🏻Everything was going perfectly for Jesse and Walt but Walt wanted to bee the man!🤮 Walt is truly evil.
Whats wrong with that guy!?
Walt, the evil Devil, and his ego simply are too much!! Ego driven babeh...
Walter's ego is so massive that he instantly decides to pay anyway just to make sure Jesse doesn't look good.
dang 😂
He decides to pay because he's keeping a façade of being in the same page with Jesse. Which he immediately drops in the last scene, not caring in the least about what Jesse's telling him
yes, that’s correct.
Thats not why. He did to keep his false care for jesse up.
it's greed not srego,
don't create newspeach
The scene shows that Mike despises and hurts Walter’s ego and thus buries the seed for Walter to kill Mike later on
Mike is such a PoS - glad Walter ended him
After it was revealed that Mike was the one who told Todd to shoot that kid I really lost a lot of respect for him.
@@saysallawhere was this revealed?
@@saysallawhere and when?
@@bloodspiller0666 it wasnt revealed anywhere, dude is talking BS
I think I would deduct first, divide second.
Good Point .
doing it the way they did is likely better for transparency, or else walt would do the math himself and ask why his cut is so low anyway
@@owencheung4224that's what financial statements are used for bro. The only reason why they did it like this and not thru paper and excel is for the dramatic effect.
Walt was going to raise a stink anyway. Best pull the bandage right away.
The way it was shot in this scene was excellent though. Having the big stacks of money as Mike takes portions of each is masterful framing.
4:10 went mostly unnoticed but imo it was kinda sad that jesse was pouring his heart out and walt didnt give a shit. It just shows that jesse had no one to talk to and walt only cared about the money and not about the well being of the people close to him.
Jesse was an open faucet of ham. But we all loved that ham.
Was looking for a comment like this
Why do you think it went unnoticed?
Jesse acting like he's watching mommy and daddy fight XD
Because he's just over it. By this point in the show Walt had put him through the wringer
@@RySenkari that's because they were
this is the scene where Walt decided to have all those guys in prison whacked. "Legacy cost eh"?
yeh
In a way it's when he became what he destroyed with Gus. Gus was the kind of guy to murder people in cold blood, hurt children, whatever it took for business, and that's one reason Gus made the big bucks. One thing Walt discounts here is I believe this was their first cook as a new business, sure the legacy costs seem steep now, but Gus didn't get to where he was overnight. If they would have ever gotten to cooking 200 pounds a week again he would have been bringing in over $20,000,000 a year, suddenly legacy costs don't seem so bad.
@@richardmorrison7741Walter didn’t kill any children you lowlife
And just because Mike wants to pay every guy 40k each every month - why would Walter do that?
I don't remember much, but Walter killing the 9 guys in prison wouldn't make him have a bigger "legacy cost"? Since he used many other guys to do the job?
@@leonardor7181 that’s a one time
Payment - not an ongoing cost
Is that so
Difficult to understand?
4:47 for some reason, Jesse's Math is even better than Walt
Jesse is smart. But Walt wants to be in the empire business.
@@jasonmartinez9051 I think one of the points of the show is how Walt has always thought of Jesse as inferior to him, even going back to the time where he was his teacher. But as the show goes on it not only shows that Jesse is, in fact, very street smart, but also smarter than Walt when it comes to dealing with people.
@@alanwatts8239 Jesse knows how to swallow his pride and take a loss when he needs to. Walter needs to be the biggest man on the block and can't stand anyone being over him. Jesse when he got clean would have been exactly what Gus wanted in a cook. He just wanted to make money, live a quiet life and take care of his people. Walter and his ego constantly ruined things, even more than Jesse and his conscience
@@jefferycrouse4652Seeing how Jesse blew everything up even though Walt gave him multiple outs later on just because he started feeling guilt over a being in this game, even though it’s stupid because he knew what this game contains, would say otherwise if he kept working normally with Gus. Skylar was right in her regard about Jesse being a a rabid dog needing to be put down.
Once you realise how big the pie is, there's the choice to enjoy the piece you get, or there's the choice of chasing a bigger share because you know there's more.
And dont forget the cut that the IRS gets, truly shows that crime doesn't pay
It does for the IRS B)
You can get away with drug manufacturing, drug trafficking, assault, murder, disposing of corpses in barrels, money laundering, but god forbid you don’t pay your taxes.
When’s the last time you made over a 100k in one deal bro😂
@@sales6556 for real, drug trade is double digit billions of dollars per year just in the USA
"I'm crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? Noooo thank you!" -The Joker.
0:59 you see the way jesse puts his head up, once mike said legacy costs he knew walts ego was gonna go 🤯 which of course it did 😂😂😂😂
And it's totally reasonable. I mean, saying "legacy costs" out of a sudden while dealing with other people's money, what do you think would happen? Walt would just let it go, without even knowing what that term meant? I would have Walt's exact reaction too. It's not about ego, it's about getting things clear
That’s what you took away from this. Your room temp IQ is showing, smoothbrain
@@ginpak7037 i mean, mike saying "we gotta pay these guys or they have no reason to not rat us all out" is more then enough tbh xD
@@ich3730 they rat him out anyways xD
its poor communication on Mikes end imo. These costs should have been discussed before.
When Jesse is the most mature one, you know the end is near
What I hated about Walt In this scene is how In the previous episode when he tries to recruit Mike, he even admits that their profits would be smaller (at first) but would receive a higher cut as owners not employees. Even Jesse has to correct him in that they’re cooking a fraction amount of meth then they did in Fring’s lab so there was no valid reason besides the legacy cost for Walt to get frustrated with his profit.
The Legacy cost of 300K PER COOK was not sustainable , imo and way too big of a Slice off the top .. when Mike says " my guys are an ongoing expenditure , so best get used to it" Mr White was already trying to hatch a Plan to OFF them all .. its just not doable ..
Doesn't matter because Walter was right and mike was wrong. The Guys eventually snitched
@@Josama0214
That is wrong. Those guys never said anything. Their lawyer Mike hired for their cases eventually made a mistake when depositing their hazard pay, got arrested and flipped.
The 9 guys died because their lawyer was making a plead deal. Not the henchman themselves. Mike trusted the wrong lawyer. Not wrong henchmen
@@DutchGabbers My point is that if Mike did what Walter said originally, no one wouldve snitched
@@Josama0214
Kill the guys? But the entire point was that the entire reason they got arrested was because of Walter and Jesse.. And none of them have said a single word while in there.
And there is no indication imply they would have regardless of the compensation. Mike simply was looking out for his people.
Mike investigates every person he works with while working for Gus.. So I am sure these guys are incredibly loyal.
Mike wasnt gotta let Walter kill his people simply because they got arrested and lost every single penny to their name entirely because of the actions Walter took and the heat he brought down upon them..
They trusted the wrong lawyer sure. But that dont make Walter right in his actions to just kill them
I love how Walt gets mad at costs, but doesn't consider that it took Gus Fring over a dozen years for him to set things up, only for Walt to singlehandedly destroy it all in a few months.
Yeah Walt, you didn't want the money when you worked for Fring, so don't complain now that you killed Fring.
I mean, there is no world where Fring allows Walt to live, so not like there were many options available
@@JediLordRevanwalt dug his own grave in the gus situation, if he kept his mouth shut and did what he was told everything would have been fine, if he and jesse didn’t go kill those two people that work for gus every thing would have been fine
@@hamadhamad70 He messed up trying to save Jesse, Jesse is the real root cause of all the problems.
@@hamadhamad70so it’s all jesse fault basically, walt tried to save jesse which triggered everything
Correct, that's what Mike explained to Walt in the scene we all just watched. Very good. I Love How the clip on which you left the comment
Walt realizes the hard way being the boss SUCKS
lol im sure thats what the super rich fortune 500 CEOs will tell you...
This is what small business owners go through every payroll period. The reason the CEOs of major companies are wealthly is because they get their compensation through stock options and equity in the company they work for. They don't get a salary like their employees because that income is taxable. They only have a salary because it needs to be in the books to verify they are an "employee" of the company.They know how money works while the rest of us think pay raises will get us to wealth.
@ashtonderojas821 the remark I made was said partly in jest but with that being said I'm iffy about the "being the boss sucks" perspective or just that phrasing in general because 1) it can easily be used (and is used) to justify unearned privilege and/or shitty behavior and 2) despite the challenges that would come with being a boss, even in a small business, it will never suck as hard as being the guy at the bottom of the totempole. So yeah something about that phrasing just kinda bugs me
2:23 - Jesse is like the child watching his parents fight an will say anything to get them to stop.
Walter realized how much it sucks to be the boss
Why would you first split the money in three and only then pay the expenses?
To make it dramatic
For a scene to build up some tension and additional motivation for Walt to kill Gus' men.
Otherwise Mike would have to get a whiteboard, you really want to have a whiteboard scene? 😂
True it would be like an employer paying his employees all of his revenue the calling all his employees back and saying they need to give part of it back to cover costs.
Production value..
still amazes me how Walt doesnt see how this is literally his fault
him killing Gus in such a way with no plans about what happens next completely backfires
Kind of left him no choice after threatening his family.
@@johnwayne8494He could have just walked away there and then. He had tons of money to give his family but he had to be greedy
Jessie asked Gus to let Walt walk away and Gus decided to do this by threatening walts family instead of you know just leaving him alone
Gus’s fault 😂
nothing is ever Walts fault in his mind.
@@sharpasacueballskyler gave the money to ted
This honestly reminds me of how expenses go for my foodtruck. You see the revenue coming in but then you realize
10% in payroll (just me and my best friend)
30% in Rent and permits
30% in new stock and other mandatory materials.
30% in loan repayments
There's a reason why accountants say pay yourself first. After expenses I can only afford to pay myself a below average salary for the area and I'm still working another job to keep myself afloat. Silver lining is the truck is going to be paid off in a year, provided the engine doesn't commit die between then and now I'll be making enough that my friend and I can work it full time even if I'll personally be taking a hit to my gross income.
Free advice for anyone with a loan, the best investment you can make is paying off the principal you save so much in the long run.
I respect your struggle. Keep going if you believe in it.
Advice don't take a loan to start a business is you can. Save up money for startup capital.
Walt still thinking about the money😂
For walt it never was about the money, but keeping his pride intact with the one thing his ego won't let him drop and it's illegal chemistry.
😂
Hair stylist cooked in this scene
People taking Walt's side don't realize that "because it's what you do" is why Gus was able to keep an international drug empire functioning for years without getting caught.
tbf the people who side with walt in general have already missed that his entire character arc is atleast once per season throwing away a perfectly good setup for his ego. so they aren't going to get this either.
$40k/mo for each guy does seem steep
When you're a criminal I would imagine no price is too much if it means staying out of jail
It’s probably what they were getting paid before
@@smithsj227 they could still go to jail paying them isn't a get out of jail free that's the point
It’s $1300/day, decent pay normally but that could include being executed by gorillas with biros, or worse.
To keep a megamillion dollar criminal empire going??
Should have add hair transplant cost as well
GTA Online heist with randoms:
Walter sounded like he was about to cry here 😂 the voice crack when he said ‘fring’. 3:34
Walt is basically every greedy CEO in a nutshell.
mike should have discussed legacy costs beforehand. he waited until this very moment to spring it on walt
Walt finds out that being the boss sucks.
This scene gets even more frustrating when you think about the scene later on in the storage unit. Skylar had been trying to embezzle all of Walt's drug money but there was so much that she just gave up on it and started storing it in that unit, millions of dollars of it.
And Walt was complaining about paying 9 guys just 40k a month total to keep their mouths shut.
Further proof that Walter wasn't actually mad about the money but the fact that Mike was acting like their old grumpy grandpa and that Walt has no other choice but to financially support 9 losers who got caught lmao
@@itsshrimp91 I think Walt was mad about the principal of it but also the money. I don't think he realized just how much money he was making until Skylar took him to that storage unit.
Wasn't that scene way after Mike's dead and Walt killed all the prison people and is operating basically solo with Todd volunteering and getting all the Czech Republic money?
Wth its not 9 guy = 40k / month
Its each guy get 40k / month
9 x 40k
Thats why legacy cost 351k
If its only 40k walts not gonna complain
Even saulman cut only 54k and he is not saying anything
That was later on, when their operation got better and more profitable. It’s just Mike had to always rub Walt the wrong way. Not excusing Walt’s ego, but Mike wasn’t helping his case, especially when he thought stupidly that his guys would have “honor” and keep their mouths shut.
Aaron Paul found a way for the American to love the average junkie. His "act" of nonchalance and apathy captured the hearts of those that can see the plead for empathy and regularless.
“One hand washes the other..” “we’re making them whole..”
“It’s what you do..”
Hollywood criminality cracks me up..😂
This is based on real life organized crime. If people know things about you that can get you sent to jail for the rest of your life; and they no longer have income because they are being investigated or actually in jail; then you pay them to keep them from talking unless you can kill them without much blowback. Jail is full of greedy criminals who didn't pay for loyalty. The Fed's literally broke the New York Families, because they could get lots of people to roll for an easier sentence. This even bleeds over into the legal world. A law school buddy worked for a waste management company, and they had old mob guys on the payroll. Legacy costs from buying the business and moving the mob out. I'm sure the same was true when Howard Hughes bought Vegas Casinos from the Mob. Even SMU had legacy costs from when they were paying players. One guy got injured and couldn't pay. They cut his payments and he talked. Brought down the whole program. Legacy costs are real.
How would it go with real criminals?
@@kashstorythe way Walt eventually did it. He got rid of them
@@davos6129 You mean the neo-nazi gang got rid of them. And then they, knowing about this one dude sitting upon a multi-million dollar drug ring without a single soldier, just go: "eh, let him have his fun, we got our cut" instead of taking over. Is that realistic?
Legacy Cost 😂....I love how it's what gets Walt stirred up!
"Ohhh, Its what you do!"
Walt in season five be like: ''whatever happened to this gus fring guy?''
It's amazing how a 5 minute conversation from Breaking Bad garners a quarter million views in 2024. Just shows how brilliant writing is timeless.
The end of the scene showed off the dynamic between Jesse and Walt perfectly. When Walter asked him a question, Jesse was genuinely trying to open up and tell him about his life. But all Walter really cared about was the money, and having a Yes Man to back him up. He may have cared about Jesse in his own way, but he was using him, always.
Walt dealt with the overhead once and was like nope
Love how Mike sees through Walt’s ego.
"That's less than with Fring."
I would have walked away right there if I was Mike, knowing the kind of person Walt is.
It probably would have been less for Gus, since he was paying for a whole restaurant chain too.
The restaurant was making money too though so that probably helped
Yeah but keep in mind some of those expenses didn't exist for Gus, like he didnt had money laundering fee because he washes His money thru His restaurant and distribution fee was much smaller because again, he used His restaurant's trucks, plus he was making close to 200m per year so 40k per dude didn't feel that bad
The restaraunt itself was self-sufficient too, ya know. I doubt he'd mix any illicit funds with the publicly-tendered funds he'd get from Los Pollos.
@@itsshrimp91 lmao how did he launder His money then?
If he didn’t mix the ill gotten bills with the clean ones then that would have been bad idea as that is opposite of laundering. He wanted to launder it so he had to mix it
I feel like Mike extorted Walt and Jesse here. Mike was invited into the business relationship, and Mike was not transparent about the fact that hiring him included hiring nine other guys. If Mike said no to doing business with Walt and Jesse, how would this "legacy cost" be paid anyway? Mike can only pay off his old partners by stealing from his new ones.
It is actually insane how well Jesse developped, in every way. He didn't just get better at the game ; he's learned so, so much in every field, and more importantly became an actually well rounded, stable individual, despite ACTUAL HELL breaking loose around him.
There's a reason Mike liked Jesse ; kid's got insane potential. He flunked school because he was bored, not because he was dumb -- he learned better and quicker than a lot of people that are tauted as smart, and developped a solid philosophy alongside to boot. Insane potential.
And Mike signs his own death warrant there….
Mike wouldn't have left that room.
The hairstylist did a great job in this scene.
Had his eyes on the money... Rather than what he was buying.
Influence.
When you complete a gta 5 heist online
Walt looking at that pile getting smaller was me looking at the deductions on my first paycheck
I like how the drug money all looks like perfectly fresh printed cash
This Is Like the First time you See what you actually earn after taxes/food/rent/energy
Mike would have never asked Gus to pay a legacy tax, so why should Walt
Gus did pay a legacy cost for his employees if they got arrested. It was explained in the show that they all had off shore accounts which they would receive if they kept their mouth shut while in prison. However, all the off shore accounts got seized after Walt killed Gus.
@@roody716 No, that wasn't legacy for Gus, that was his current costs. Legacy is something inherited from the past, hence why Walt is pissed because they were never his guys in the first place and did absolutely nothing for him, but he inherited the cost of them from Gus anyways.
@@bruhvenantNo. He inherited them from Mike. Not Gus. Mike was paying the people 'he', himself, owed.
@@DirtCheapFU bruh, you actually think Mike was paying the huge salaries for all those guys? If he had the money for that, he wouldnt need to keep doing this shit. Gus was responsible for paying them, Walt inherited the cost for Gus. They are associated with Mike, so keeping them paid is a cost of going business with Mike. But the hush payments are inherited from Gus.
I kinda understand Walt about Mike's men. Someone's organization tries to kill you and it backfired so some are in jail. I'd be also piss to pay them 117k.
137,000 per week that’s about 7.1 million dollars a year cheer the hell up Walt lol
I think Walt is right here. Micky’s moral code that he’ll help guys if they have helped him doesn’t work. These are not good guys, they are criminals, so it’s better to have killed them rather than keep them, coz sooner or later they would’ve talked. Nachos father said it “You guys are all same”. Having a code doesn’t make a bad guy good.
"Conscience gets expensive".
Same problem when Badger got caught. But only this time it's Mike & his guys.
Mikes guys were too expensive need to shed some payroll there
Exactly,a liability,if it was Walt in that position who needed it(legacy cost) I doubt they would have done it
after a few years those guys would be thinking about a reduced sentence over padding their huge bank accounts further
It was never about money for Walt, only for probably a month or two. He just wanted to prove that he is bigger than Fring. And he failed at every turn
4:30 that's all Jesse needed to know where Walts head was at and how much of a flying fuck he gave about Jesse
3:10 Take a deep breath....
You know Walt was really starting to fall off when Chili P is the voice of reason
After pulling heists in GTA online I feel Walter’s pain
The irony of Walt talking about blackmail when he's making drugs
GTA V casino heist be like
If Jesse fronted 120k then why did 40k come out of Jesse's pile? Shouldn't it have been 60k from Mike and Mr White?
Probably an unpopular opinion: would Mike, or Gus, have made Walt whole if he was locked up? Walt wouldn't have even made it to the cell before he met a bad end. Mike never cared about Walt, he could barely stand him. No wonder Walt has little regard for Mike's "guys".
Mike had it coming. Legacy cost ? That wasn't business. That was Mike using Walter and Jessie to cover his @$$
Shit those taxes and rentals do be eating away at income.
They all walk out with a bag of cash and yet they want more. Shows what greed does to people.
You ever complained about paying taxes? Well what if those taxes were 75% of your income?
@@TrevorCoggins he talks like a poor
I'd be pissed about the legacy cost too. Sure, they should get something for keeping their mouths shut, but 39k per cook? That's just pure insanity.
Walt was still making more then he had any idea or intention of how to spend. as fucking always his ego ruins everything he touches
This should be re-titled "How the IRS works"
I was waiting for Uncle Sam to speak from the void and interject that he needs his cut too
masterpiece of a show.
Even criminals get taxed.
When you turn into a drug lord to not pay taxes and then you are fuxed anyway
The problem I’ve always had with this scene is Mike talking about “his guys,” he should have paid them like Walt said, Walt has no loyalty to them, there is no criminal on this planet who’d pay 350k monthly to keep guys quiet who can’t even get them in trouble
Don't forget the IRS. You might as well pay them too.
$39,000 for each of the 9 guys, and that's an ongoing cost? Does seem pretty steep given the number of cooks.
Jesse explaining how the math works to Walt at the end shows hownfar Jesse has come
Who knew a criminal enterprise had so much overhead?
The fact that Jesse understood proportionality better than Walt is hilarious. Shows how far Walts ego has gotten to him
The most egregious thing here is that they're paying back Jesse using a cut of Jesse's money
Lester taking his heist cut
why is this satisifying to watch him do this?
When Jesse has to point out the simple math for Walt...
Mike was always curt and standoffish but he went overboard with Walt and went out of his way to demean him at every turn. He should have known better and heck Mike described him as a ticking time bomb. Walt is a narcissistic sociopath with an ego the size of Everest. He doesnt respond well to humiliation
If only Mike had thanked him for getting him that bag ("how about -thank you" asked Walt, Mike should have heeded) , he would still be alive.
Mike’s hubris and arrogance got him killed, he looked down on Walt and treated him with contempt even when it was obviously wise not too.
Walt was right, glad he wacked Geriatic Mike. . one of the best moments of the series
This is the scene why the Mike got killed. And the reason is Walters nonunderstanding of how crime works and his ego of "i did everything". How he sacrificed Mike...
This scene is great for showing have much Walt’s ego has come to control him, he’s smart enough to understand the necessity of the hazard pay and all the expenses but he’s too far gone to make any concessions to anyone about anything
I love how walt only caved when Jessie volunteered to take it out of his share. It's like his ego couldn't take having some "immature kid" stepping up to the plate and essentially being less of a baby than him
Amazing how Mike is able to divy up an odd number like $117,000 without breaking any stacks of 5 and 10k.
Dividing the money between the three of them *after* removing expenses would have been smarter. Generally Mike is cleverer than Walt, but in this case i think he mostly wanted to drum into Walts head about how stupid killing Gus was. Unfortunately even knowing that Walt had an ego, he underestimated how foul it was.
Yeah this part doesn't make sense. I get Walt has an ego, but this was a pretty dumb way to portray it as Walt is also supposed to be intelligent enough to realise simple maths, as well as the fact that Gus had spent over a decade to get where he was, ran several businesses as cover, invested hundreds of millions into the operation.... Plus Mike, who is good at reading people, chooses the worst possible interpretation to explain it to Walt.
I genuinely don't like the trend of deliberately making the supposedly smart protagonist dumber than your average audience just to progress a plot point and create conflict for the sake of conflict. Loved the show don't get me wrong, but there were quite a few times like this where the writing just didn't make any sense.
It's part of Walter's character. He's so convinced that he's the smartest guy in the room that he refuses to defer to anyone else's expertise even when they know better for him. Like when he thought Jesse was lazy and stupid for not being able to move $40k worth of meth in a single night. Or when he didn't listen to Jesse about how dangerous it was to sell on someone else's turf. Or when he dismissed Skylar when she told him that she couldn't launder $7 million in $50 bills per year through a car wash.
They aren’t crime lords here lol they are paying their bosses.
i would think cartel lords would think the same way walt does here.
How is felt like Jesse was so mature in the scene
He could see the bigger picture
