      Probably a literal truth: reason those things break is that they require diligent maintenance and have a small margin for error. (They STAY broken because the manufacturer rigged the system to be the exclusive supplier and prevent franchises from effecting their own repairs.)

    Ik it's already been said to death, but you really gotta admire how Gus is essentially a perfected version of Walter White, and this scene shows that perfectly. Where Walter struggled to keep his two lives separated, Gus almost feels like two spirits inhabiting one body depending on who he's speaking to; one being the wholesome chicken man, and the other a stoic drug kingpin. I really like his character

      I think the difference is that Walt wanted to be both the family man and the drug kingpin, he saw it as a balancing act. Gus simply is not anything other than the drug kingpin, everything else is a cover, there is no dissonance between those two selves because there are no two selves, just a convenient disguise that Gus would drop were it ever the intelligent move.

    • @Watcherofprovidence
      @Watcherofprovidence Год назад +19

      I'm torn between "ah, but there's also" and "oh come on".
      The chikka is a buffer and the smoother and more inclined to look the other way that buffer is, the more effective it is. Is Lyle going to get a bug in his butt and start poking through the books because he's bitter and feels under-paid? No. He's happy and claps for the man.
      Does he use them by making them happy and the place a good one to work? Sure. But he's still using them.
      "But gruhn, he doesn't actually have them do anything other than sell chikka." Exactly. That's all they do.

    There is something interesting about Gus' facial expression towards the end when his employees clap. He almost looks surprised and even uncomfortable at first but then appears to relax and become somewhat content. I'm guessing this is one of the few times in his life he has received support and praise not out of fear or submission, but instead from genuine admiration for his words and actions (despite the narrative being mostly a lie). The employees had no reason to believe they should fear Gus and I think Gus realizes their approval is different from that of someone who knows his power and that he could choose to end their life at a moment's notice.

    What people actually forget is that when you treat your employees with respect, you get respect back. You don't have to be overwhelmingly nice or do anything at all.
