"how else could you possibly make that amount of money?"
"NFTs Skylar, you wouldn't understand"
JESSE YOU WALK OUT OF HERE AND YOU GET NO MONKEYS
NFTs? Jesus Christ, Marie! They're EtherRocks!
You know he couldve just bought BTC and gave it to his kid. Couldve made the same amount of money in ten years as he did with meth, but without the murder and law breaking
@@bane2988 this killed me I'm gone
"Where's the money Skylar"
"I spent it on NFT's"
I love that he's convinced himself that being a drug dealer is reprehensible but a drug manufacturer is completely fine
Tell that to all the billion dollar pharmaceutical companies.
I suppose better way to describe that is that both are not chaotically evil or despicable. What I mean by that is there are way worse things people do in this world, and dealers for one are not forcing drugs upon anyone. You want to buy bread, you go to bread store. You want to buy meth, you go to meth dealer - simple as that. And no, I am not trying to make them look pretty or innocent, just saying that a business is business - some people don't know anything other than to be that.
It's his pride. Drug dealers aren't generally known especially for their intellectualism.
It's more like he's disgusted by the word drug dealer because he feels he's far above that.
What’s wacky is that throughout the series it’s easy to almost forget the fact that what he’s doing is helping to destroy lives and kill people. You get lost in it when you see it through his eyes for so long.
I like how Walt can manipulate Jesse to the hell and back but when it comes to manipulating Skylar he’s like a kid trying to convince his parents that it was the family dog who scribbled on the walls
Because he and Skyler are married since so many years so obviously Skyler knows Walt way better than Jesse do
And despite Skyler being unlikeable (for me at least), I find her quite smart and jaded
@@Gaib_al_lisanI don't know what's so unlikable about her. I never really got the Skyler hate.
@@robertisham5279 mainly the part wherein she took their kids away the moment she found out about Walter and did not want give him permission to even see them.
wives are harder to deal with lol
Since Jesse isn't really family, Walt doesn't feel that bad for him and can manipulate him all he wants
Reason Walt wanted to do this meth business was so that Skyler and his kids would have a great and rich life. But it's hard to have drugs in the picture.
Jesse is already a drug person so he's not a problem lol
Skyler:"omg walt…cocaine？"
Walt:"it's lospolloshermanos"
Skylar 🤮
It’s called updog Skylar
@@noahclark7603Skyler: ”Updog? What is updog?”
Walt: I love you Skyler and I would do anything for you.
Skyler: Stop dealing drugs
Walt: No
That's what I thought as well. Full of what comes out of the back end of a cow.
He did stop dealing drugs at this point in the show
@@sneakslolll9264 She couldn't be sure of that. Also, even if you stop you can never know whether you put a target on your back in the meantime.
After all, the worst aspects of Walts choices appeared after he left the drug business.
@@MrBell-iq3sm yeah that’s fair,Walt isn’t really the most understandable guy out there.
@@sneakslolll9264 I really hope that is sarcasm
Marie: so walt is a drug dealer?
Hank: Jesus Marie! He's a drug manufacturer!!
Marie with her Klepto-skillz.. "hmmm... wonder if he'd notice any missing?"
Those aren’t drugs they’re minerals
America is scum of the earth
Dude be like I'm more Pfizer than Boots😆
@@panicfarm9874 - Say 'Hi' to your Mother for me.
Skyler is so smart here. She literally solved the problem that took DEA almost 2 years to solve by connecting the dots
Yes but she did have loads of evidence that the DEA never got ahold of and took a shot in the dark
He admitted to it that's why 💀
@@emptytuna6162 when did he admit it really? Here skylar literally told walt in the face that he sold drugs. Walt's ego prevented him from denying that "accusation" and admitted that he was the manufacturer. Skylar is by far one of the smartest characters in the series. She put things together, connected the dots, and didnt take the action until she was really sure. She came up with the gambling problem and even convinced hank and marie the story. Walt was just too proud that he didnt want people to know him as a person with gambling addiction problem and not a genius who produce the purest meth ever. His ego is what caught him in the end.
Do people just expect the DEA to keep a detailed account of someone's personal life
Skyler is paranoid
From the minute the series started she always aimed for the worst things to happen
She didn't discover anything lol she just knew because he told her he was smoking drugs
And she popped it over the floor because she exaggerates
Just like in anything she did in the series
For example the fact that she was only an accountant for laundring walt's money and she thought they were equally at blame
Or even equally at stake
If they were caught (and they were) she will get absolutely no crime offense whatsoever (which she didn't)
"Yes, Skyler. I was Breaking Bad all along." Chills when he said that.
Lmao that’s good
,I just don’t want you to get morbed‘ this is the crossover of all times
When he said "it's Waltin' time", truly a TV moment
He didn’t say 🤓
truly a moment of all time
Offended - "I'm not a dealer." Proudly - "I'm a manufacturer!"
Because the way he manufactured it required knowledge of chemistry. That's what he was proud of.
I'm not the bad guy, I just got 50kg of meth in my basement
of course he did it for family but, he had cancer, he did it because of the thrill. which kept him alive from his boring mundane life. we are made to hate Skyler because we are put in walt's perspective. and they did a damn good job at it.
Dealer makes him sound like some corner boy slinging dime bags at 3am.
Dude was the Meth Kingpin of the Southwest!
@@activex1643 Actually he did it for his ego. Don't forget that other options were available to pay for his cancer treatment - i.e Schwartzes. And it wasn't really charity either since philosophically speaking, 1/3rd of Graymatter belonged to Walt.
If the choice is between dying and leaving my family behind and accepting a charity, the choice is pretty clear there.
She was about to divorce my man for selling weed 💀💀💀
or because of all his lying? i coudn't trust a person like this
@@katjaw3562 yes. Trust is where it's at. A lot of the people commenting on all these clips fail to understand also the type of people Walt is attracting into their lives, she would realise he's stepping into a sub-culture you don't want to enter, and taking them with him. The human misery he's also contributing to in the name of building a drug empire - he deserves what he gets.
Fair play to her. Families get punished in the weed-selling world. They'd just kill your wife and children to make a point.
so what
@@katjaw3562 u couldn’t ? He has cancer about to die he is making money for u before he dies and ur gonna divorce him? Cool
Anna Gunn was perfect for this part. Her anguish seemed so genuine. Desperately trying to save her children.
He can fool and manipulate gangsters, drug lords, mafia, killers and even the great Gus Fring, but he couldn't fool Skylar 😂
I fail to see how that's even remotely funny. Unless you're an insecure dweeb.
Don't forget the DEA 😂
She's his wife and lives with him and everything he does is related to his work. He could lie really well if he wanted to but then it wouldn't last long. He knows Skyler isn't dumb. It's not that he can't like everyone is saying.
Cause her name is skylar white yo, her husband is walter white yo, yeah, uh huh, he told her everything
I think it’s because they live together, it’s easy to manipulate people who live outside from you, she knows Walt’s schedule and the fact that he’s changing it up after getting diagnosed and becoming more busy seems a little suspect. She’s not an idiot.
I love how for a moment Walt is so offended when Skyler thought he is a weed dealer, like "are you seriously putting me, an over qualified chemist, into the same category as shady drop out junkie in the alleyway?"
im not convinced she knows his professional background. She knows he went to college with his old business partner but I get the feeling she thinks hes always been a teacher.
@@Maltry That's an interesting observation. There is literally a flashback where she baby traps Walt and gets him to settle for the house they live in during the show, while he aspired for more. I always saw Skyler as the main cause of Walt breaking bad. She tied him down. Walt was an extremely ambitious and genius man, and she used her pregnancy to make him settle for scraps that were way beneath him.
Maybe she really didn't know what he was capable of. He indirectly created a billion dollar business, and directly (within a year) built a multi-million one. Skyler should've never chained Walt. She should've let him rip when he wanted to, so to speak. They'd have both been better off.
@@TheStraightestWhitest Name checks out
@@YEs69th420 I like you.
@@Chiller326 I like you too.
Walt's face when Skyler believes dealing weed can make you as much money as manufacturing meth XD
sjjsjsjshshs stop💀
Even in season 4, she still doesn't know the extent of it as in the famous I am the danger scene, walt says
"Do you know how much money I make a year? Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me"
@@linguistic_freak stop
It's pretty good money. They are stealing water in California just to grow weed. It must make some kind of money. I admit I don't know since I don't use drugs. I don't understand the appeal of weed or meth.
@@jimmym3352 Sure, if you compare an average meth lab to an average weed growing operation, they probably both have about the same earning potential. But Skyler accused him of being a weed dealer, not a grower (wouldn't really make sense that Walt could be a weed grower).
If you're talking about distribution, I do think a big time meth distributor like Gustav Fring has more earning potential than a big time weed distributor, generally the legal consequences are more severe therefore the risk is greater, thus limiting supply and increasing demand
I love how off guard he’s caught when she tells him he’s a drug dealer. You can see how surprised he was before he realized he had to lie again. He thought his lying was as good as his meth😂
My girlfriend was actually impressed at first when I told her I was a drug dealer. Until she found out I was a pharmaceutical rep, then she dumped me. :(
Bro what
@@Dr.Trustmeonthisone That's really how girls be when they're for the streets
@@Dr.TrustmeonthisoneIndeed
Her loss. Few things are more gangster than big pharma.
Walt would’ve been better off if he just confirmed the weed-dealer suspicion…but he admitted something much worse. He’s very proud of his work, and just got tired of hiding it from Skyler.
I thought he was just tired of lying.
@@flyingdutchman2442 50/50 i guess
@@flyingdutchman2442 she was tired of his lies, he would of kept up the lies if she hadn’t given him the divorce papers, he probably only told her the truth as an attempt to get her to stay
"Walt would’ve been better off if he just confirmed the weed-dealer suspicion"
How would that have helped? She just brought that up as a BIG PROBLEM. Confirming it wouldn't make her suddenly decide it's not a problem. And besides, once she's gone so far as to get and sign divorce papers and bring them to the new place you're living after she's kicked you out? It's already done.
@@eddiediaz5518 They must have had a really good relationship at one point because I don’t understand his resilience in keeping her around. lol
Theres so many moments in this season where Bryan Cranston's physical comedy shines through and adds to the frantic nature of Walt's character. That little goblin run he does to stop Skyler is perfect
The more times I rewatch BB the more I realize Cranston put on one of the greatest acting performances ever. Like legit perfect
Goblin run 😂
This is the exact moment walt became malcolm's dad
I was thinking the same thing. Bryan Cranston's characters always have a vibe to them. Some of the mannerisms of Walt seem like Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. Like when Mike drives off after Walt shoots him, and Walt looks around first then troddles over.
U had me a goblin run
Walt’s face at 1:44 will always make me laugh, lookin like she said the last thing he could’ve ever expected 😂
He probably wanted to say "Actually it's meth" and tried his best to resist it
@@KiiBon lol it’s funny watching it that thru that lens 💀
😮💨
"For God's sake, if you're going to accuse me, at least make it plausible!"
This is what happens when you have both excellent writers AND excellent actors.
'Marijuana, that Pinkman Kid.'
LOL, Well, you're half right.
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
If it only was Marijuana lol
@@tobiast471 he is playing the big game not the small game
Its like the scene in season 1 where Skyler walks up to jesse while he's hiding Emilio's body and says, with absolute confidence
'Do not... sell marijuana to my husband"
She's so shook when she says marijuana. No, something much harder sweetheart.
Walt: we are happily married
Skyler: 😞😞
Walt: I AM happily married
Shows how self-centered Walt was
Also walt: I am..
The one who knocks
he should have took Tuco's advice and start a new family in Mexico lol
Gaslighting 101
I think walt did care for the "idea" of a family, but didn't care about the people in his family
Forgive me for the GOT comparison, but a bit like Tywin lannister
When I was a teenager, I was seriously annoyed with Skyler, like a lot of people were. But I rewatched this show several years later, after I was married and living with my wife, and I felt so bad for Skyler and grew to appreciate her character quite a lot. She's one of my favorite characters in the show now. I used to see her as an annoying roadblock to Walt's badass-ery, but now I see her as spouse in a horrible situation and she doesn't really know how to navigate it. It's sad.
Nah skyler sucks
People who hate Skyler are getting lost in the fantasy side of the story and not seeing the betrayal and destruction his actions bring on those he loves. Kinda like Walt gets lost in the delusion that he's doing it all for his family...
Honestly I never really had a problem with her character. I never really understood the Skyler hate.
@@robertisham5279 Right?? The vast majority of the time she responds largely reasonably. Even with Ted she probably just felt very disconnected from Walt and couldn’t deal with his narcissism and stress. Skylar was a pretty annoying character to the badassery but ultimately very good and real.
@@ploso1377 yeah, i’m currently rewatching and she says “it’s the only time in my day i don’t feel like i’m drowning.” when she starts the affair, she’s not just disconnected from walt, but from her entire family as a consequence of the whole situation-they dont know what’s really going on so they blame her. plus, a part of her wants walt to find out so he’ll willingly divorce her and end her misery.
This scene is brilliant. It shows how much skylar becomes a victim of Walt.
It boggles the mind that people think she’s the baddy
Last time I checked, it was Skyler's idea to launder Walt's drug money. And she happily helped him do it.
It boggles my mind the selective memory people have about poor innocent wifey.
@@a.arienejad2716 That was her actually protecting her family lol. She didn't even get anything out of it.
W Walt, L skyler
@@a.arienejad2716 Remind me in the show where she "happily" laundered the money. She only did it to keep her family together. Unlike Walt, everything she did was for the family. She was rash in her decision making frequently, made some bad mistakes, was pretty obnoxious, but her intentions were largely to keep the family safe. Almost all of her actions had some sort of justifications due to emotional abuse from Walter. I don't get why people are so quick to say that Jesse did what he did because he was manipulated by Walt, but then blame Skyler for her actions. The hate is not deserved.
He's just a master chef!
Endnote
He cooks better than Gordon Ramsay
He just cooks come on Skylar
That's why he went to work for Gus in his restaurant business. Secret chicken ingredient.

@@dingusrevolver better call saul
I love the pause Walt takes at 1:45. It’s like he’s deciding whether or not it’s more worthwhile to lie to Skylar and say she’s correct or to come clean.
"i am happily married, i am happy."
that right there says everything you need to know about walt. everyone around him is just to be there to keep him happy and fuel his ego. the minute he feels inadequate to his colleagues or feels like he isnt overly superior to them (see gale and grey matter) he throws spanners into the works in a bid to regain control and keep the top position, even when its undeserved.
even his marriage to skylar was the same way. he didnt care what happened to her, as long as he was happy. he didnt care that she was suffering, or that his lifestyle put his kids in danger. he constantly said he was doing it for the family as a way to try to keep skylar on board but by the end of it all they both knew it was a flat out lie.
I think here he said he's happy in order to look innocent. He wanted to let skyler know he had no problems with his marriage in case she was thinking that, and showing the divorce papers because of that. It's not about his ego thing
It could be both. Clearly his favored life involves being a self-made man that is the moneymaker to a family, so while him saying “we are happy” is dismissing Skyler’s feelings and is also calculated to discredit Skyler should the divorce happen, he may also think that this is a bump in the road and the family will be happy when the issue is dealt with.
Wooooo! Finally, someone with common sense that gets it! Nice!
Half the comments are as delusional as Walter.
Walt is superior he's a man
Walt's biggest mistake with Skyler was trying to lie to her when he is just so so SO bad at it. Like just the worst liar ever, childlike even.
He was a brilliant lier with everyone but her, he would treat it like a math equation
But with her he was emotional and almost childlike when constructing lies
yeah, when he lies to other people it seems believeable, but when it comes to his family he tries to act so happy go lucky when he was sulking for majority of his time in the house
because he is being Walter here, not Heisenberg. Heisenberg sure can lie like a devil
Skyler is set up from the start as always being able to tell when Walt is lying. Nobody else in the show can see through his lies as easily as she can.
I don't think Walter's a bad liar. I think it's more just that Skyler, as his wife, is very used to (and initially tolerated) Walter's pathological lying so she can tell immediately when he's doing it. And furthermore Walt knows that she knows, which breaks his composure more than with a stranger.
Anna Gunn is such a good actress. She nailed this role and its huge contribution to this legendary series.
yeah thats why we see her everywhere in big pictures. oh wait...
She's pretty insignificant actually
Meh, totally disagree. I think literally anyone would have been better than her
@@estebanrios9939 Most of the actors in "big pictures" are awful lol, of all industries, Hollywood probably cares the LEAST about merit.
@@lmarie8611 Anyone? Really? Is it not a at least a little bit overstated to say so, even with your bad opinion about her acting?
0:22 nobody can deny there was some chemistry between these two
I'm not sure how a lot of people haven't realised after so many years that *Walt is the villain* and hating Skylar for 'whining' or wanting to leave him is completely wrong; when he really was putting their family in huge danger, and the show leaves no doubt about the fact that he was doing so for his own ego and not for them. When Skylar decides to divorce him, he presumes it must be some way to punish him and says *'we* are happily married' as though he can decide that for both of them. The thought that she may genuinely be unhappy and scared does not even cross his mind.
what im not sure of is how you people just decide so easily when someone is bad and someone is good. in walt case it baffles me how you can view the world in those "black or white" lenses that you use for everything. the real world is never black or white, NEVER. and this series is very good a representing it. yet, once you guys decide that someone is bad is like every good thing that he does, every good decision, every good reason.... they just dissapear, and every bad one is enhanced 1000%
@@arthaiser it’s not black and white, no, I think the show did a fantastic job of showing walter’s descent, it’s one of the best shows ever imo, but in general when you watch a show or movie, a selfish character who comes to harm literally everyone around them for their own personal gain is not, like, a “hero” character by any means. I love a good villain don’t get me wrong, but what Walt claimed he was doing everything for and what he was actually doing everything for was not the same. You’re allowed to think whatever, but if you end the series still believing Walter white is a familial, devoted husband and father doing the utmost for the sake of his family’s future, I’m probably going to judge you just saying :P
If you think Walt is 'the bad guy' you honestly have missed the whole point of this show.
LIFE isn't black and white, you can't just label real people as good buys and bad guys, there's an infinite amount of shade of grey involved.
Walt is a very motivated individual, willing to make certain choices to arrive at his goals. Some of his choices were actually very magnanimous. Some of his choices were very self centered.
Walt did EXCEEDINGLY evil things, and he also did some very 'good' things.
@@repatch43 'Some of his choices were actually very magnanimous' which ones? Even the people he believes he cares about and is doing good things for are hurt by him because he thinks he knows best.
'you can't just label real people as good buys and bad guys, there's an infinite amount of shade of grey involved.' I know, that's why I'm doing it to a fictional character and not a real person..? Go watch the DVD extras and interviews, Vince Gilligan repeats multiple times that the show is about watching a normal person turn into a horrible one and that whilst we might sympathise or empathise with Walt, the things he does to 'help his family' do nothing but break it apart.
@@rosePetrichor couldn't agree more!
Skyler: gently slides the papers across the table

@@Eugenepanels Given the fact that she desperately tried to get rid of him (chancing locks, bringing up divorce papers, calling the police, even sleeping with her boss to make Walt leave her) while Walt forced himself back into her life by literally breaking in and made it look in front of her family and the police as if she was crazy for no reason I don't think making the best of the situation in order to protect her family is unreasonable or uncalled for.

I stop flaming people here for a moment because thats what infuriates me about the low IQ apes who hate her. Apes, Breaking Bad would be way worse if Skyler was the Skyler of your dreams.

@@tonyzuco6144speak for yourself mf
@@tonyzuco6144W
@@tonyzuco6144 shes one of the best characters in the show. You may find her annoying, but she was a great, complex, and relatable character.
This show perfectly depicts how dangerous it is to take small steps towards doing what we consider wrong and then to justify it. Step by step Walt turned from what was a very frustrated but decent man into a murderous villain.
Now he did this slowly by taking one step at a time and most of the time it was self defence. His first vicious, calculated act was to let Jane die. But Skyler, who is morally intact at this point can't cope with the fact that Walt is now a criminal. Then she lets Walt talk about it and step by step she becomes entangled in it too until there's no going back.
She was perfectly right this first time. This was exactly her lawyer's reaction too. She lost the game by letting Walt negotiate. She gradually loses her ability to oppose him and she only gets it back when another shock comes - Hank's death. She then once again comes to her senses. I think the scene where she says 'enough' with a knife in her hand is the peak of her acting. I love how her tone drops and her body language indicates that she no longer accepts any bullshit and what Walt's done is simply unforgiveable, no matter the reason.
"His first vicious, calculated act was to let Jane die." Here's the reality. She would have died *anyway* had Walt not been there at all, in the scenario he decided to do nothing. She might have died *anyway* had Walt decided to call for help. By the time an ambulance arrives she might have permanent brain damage. And seeing as she had had a previous addiction to drugs, was at rehab, and still started doing drugs all over again it seems as if she would have died from drug abuse sooner or later. Like I said: She would have died had Walt not been there at all.
Now, she sealed her own fate when she threatened Walt by saying she would reveal his secret to his wife and the law if she didn't let Jesse Pinkman be with her and keep all the money he had taken. This meant that when Walt saw Jane throw up from her drug-induced sleep and aspirated he realized that he could: A) Assist her by calling for help.
B) Let events play out as if he never was there and let her die.
There was *nothing* "vicious or calculated* here - are you for real? - because he had *nothing planned* or did something meticulously planned or manipulated. He realized that option A puts him in a *vulnerable* position where Jesse Pinkman might speak up and reveal everything to the law, and even if this doesn't happen he still is stuck in a *bad relationship* with a woman with serious drug abuse problems.
Option B is the logical choice. Walt wasn't going to go to prison and leave his own family broke because Pinkman was foolish enough to enter a relationship with a drug-abusing girl who thought nothing of him until he revealed that he made serious money from meth trade.
At worst this was an opportunist act by Walt, but from his position it actually comes across as a "good fortune" and "fate smiling on him".
His first vicious act was when he choked that thug he kept tied up in his basement. From that point onward he was a *murderer* . He knew his own life was at stake because he spotted the thug hiding a piece of glass, but he still could have reported him to the police or had him knocked out unconscious and dump him somewhere.
"and most of the time it was self defence. His first vicious, calculated act was to let Jane die." That easily falls under self-defense too. Jane became a serious liability both to himself and Jesse Pinkman. It doesn't matter if she never would have let her mouth run loose on what kind of business Walt and Jesse were in, she simply lacked the wits to be anything but a liability who would both wreck herself and those tied to her in some way. Had she been decent like Skyler (sort of) she wouldn't have anything to do with Jesse Pinkman once she realized he had a drug abuse problem and made a lot of money from an illegal trade.
Did Walt intend to kill Jane and Jesse? Possibly. Jesse killed Gale for the very same reason. Gus would have had Jesse killed otherwise. It was either Jesse or Gus's life. Walt reasoned it would be his or Jane's life.
"This show perfectly depicts how dangerous it is to take small steps towards doing what we consider wrong and then to justify it" Do you reason the same way when you vote a politician into power?? Probably not. But just remember that countless of people had no idea what kind of monsters and self-righteous politicians they supported and what kind of suffering that entailed to *millions of others* .
@@christinefury7839 you're the reason people put instructions on shampoo bottles
@@christinefury7839Jane wouldn't have died anyway, she was lying sideways, Walter arrived and tried waking Jesse, which made Jane move and lie on her back. She would've just vomited if Walt hadn't showed up. You wrote a bible yet your first sentence is wrong hahaha
@@Elias6233His first sentence might be wrong, but there's no denying that a heroin addict is digging its own grave and I think that's what he meant.
I love how the audience is just as surprised at Skyler's "You're a drug dealer" as Walt is. They could have gone with your typical scene of Skyler discovering the loads of cash hidden in the walls or discovering some bag of meth Walt had on him and then screaming and kicking him out of the house. Instead, we have the more subtle approach of Skyler figuring out the truth off camera and then dropping it like a bombshell on us as well as walt. Walt definitely had no idea that Skyler had put two and two together and I didn't either.
As silly as it sounds, I really think that it's these smaller more subtle moments in conjunction with the bigger ones that truly make this one of the best written television shows in history.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. I totally agree
Absolutely agree

@Despize Perform yep. Let me guess, you have some obscure indie TV show that you think is the best written TV show in history?
@Despize Perform its more of a fact at this point ngl
I love how you can see Walt has a tinge of incredulity that Skylar would think he was selling pot. "I'm a genius-level chemist Skyler and you think I'm into botany?"
I feel like if he had agreed that it was marijuana she wouldn't have been as disgusted with him lol
@@alfa-psi a very expensive form of lazy prostitoot
@@alfa-psi skylar is a major character in breaking bad. she is walt's husband throughout the show.
@@ausore9832 ah yes, *walt’s husband*
It would actually be horticulture, not botany.
Skyler was one of the smartest characters in the entire series, and she wasn’t a bloody criminal (at this point at least).
Her instincts about where Walt’s new job could lead to and how it may affect her family were bang on.
Yep, she didn't care, as long as she was financially secure
@@paulrash8861 When you just want to hate a character for made up reasons
I really appreciate that most characters in BB thought like rational people. Skyler wasn't completely oblivious, but she knew that Walt was in some kind of drug business. I like how she doesn't even know what type of drug it is. Kind of like how Jesse figured out Walt killed Mike, but isn't completely sure of it. Or how he has his suspicion about the ricin cigarette until it's confirmed when Huell lifts his weed or off of him.
"I don't give drugs to kids, what kind of monster do you think I am? I _make_ the drugs so that _other_ people can give them to kids!"
Lol, só should beers manufacturers be responsible if someone give a beer to a kid?
@@jonVNTG except, beer isn’t illegal. Your argument is brutally flawed
"i don't give drugs to kids. I poison kids"
@@ayaan9646 except, underaged drinking is illegal.
...meaning it’s still dependent on who gives it and to who. So what, cause beer is legal , you can give it to kids then blame the manufacturers (not the seller/giver)?That’s essentially what your comment is indirectly trying to say by vaguely contradicting the reasoning of the previous comment.
It’s not a matter of the product being legal. It’s also the fact that it’s illegal to sell and distribute it. So yeah, Walter is in the wrong obv.
Might have been an attempt to say he's not that bad, but it could also be an attempt at saying he's nowhere near as likely to get caught as the people dealing directly with customers.
“I’m not a dealer… per se”
The way he tries to sugarcoat it 😂
All part of the manipulation.
1:10 me when asked who ate the last pizza slice
i dont get why people hate skyler so much. she cut walt a pretty good deal here.
she was too kind to him tbh
They hate skylar because they’re angry little boys who think unaliving people is cool and hate when any woman tells them no bc it reminds them of their mommy issues
“You’re slinging a few buds! I knew it”
“I own a meth factory and distribute it across the nation!”
...little did he know he would be shipping internationally.
It’s so funny how upset she got because she thought he was dealing weed
@@ryanmeredith4620 She didn't though, she was divorcing him because of the constant lies and manipulation
Skylar literally gives Walt an out here, the best outcome. She could’ve gone straight to the police but she loved and respected him enough to just want out instead. He pushed his boundaries and made her out like she was insane. So she snapped too.
She couldn’t remember what Saul told Walt later?
Not seeing his kids at all was a pretty bad out.
@@buddyfats4768 Oh no, the meth making murderer won't be able to see his kids 😱
Skylar was far too intelligent to go to the police, she had no idea the extent Walt had gone to at this point, and therefore had ZERO idea what the consequences to her, her son, and her brother in law would be had she gone to the police.
It's entirely possible they would have been able to come up with an angle that got her charged along with Walt. And with all of their assets frozen they wouldn't have had a cent to pay for the lawyers needed to get her out.
@@buddyfats4768 Beats prison.
It upsets me how much crap Skyler got when this show was on TV. I mean my god, the things this woman went through and people were like "Meeeeh, she is so unreasonable with Walt. She is such a buzz kill"....
I was so caught off guard when Hank came into the room and yelled “It’s Hankin Time!” during Walt and Skyler’s conversation. Bravo, Vince!
I love that one time when Saul says, "she is so very classy with just a little bid of nasty." I about laughed myself out of my chair.
I think you'll find Saul said..."with just the right amount of dirty"....😊...good scene
Walts taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers, only the best with just the right amount of dirty
@@coconut906 🤣🤣
"I mean, on the one hand, sure, she snuck off the reservation to get some dirty damp and deep."
lmao
How usual people compliment ladies:
Oh gorgeous, beautiful.
How saul compliment ladies:
Mmmm sleazy
It's kinda brilliant that Skyler came to slightly the wrong conclusion, muddling up this long-awaited confrontation scene. Realistically, the clues she picked up along the way would've indeed led her here.
When Skyler said “Walt, I know you’re the Breaking Bad” I almost cried, bravo Vince
I love how they always pointed to Walt’s ego in the most awkward situations. ‘Dealer, I am the manufacturer girl, I am the brains behind the product’.
"I manufacture... I'm not a dealer..." in her mind shes like,... that's worse!
HE IS THE ONE WHO MANUFACTURES THE DRUGS
HE’S NOT IN THE MARKET SKYLER, HE IS THE MARKET
That's because it is
“You’re a drug dealer.”
“Skylar, I’m a drug manufacturer.”
“Understandable, have a nice day.”
The level of acting between these two people is insane. Starting from 1:00, Skyler's deep calculation on whether to mention about drugs, Walter's shock, his initial and completely ingenuine denial that can't cover his sneaky glare. Even he's acting all stupified, underneath you can see he's measuring her to find the best lie to convince her.
But it doesn't work, Skyler knows her too well and she's too intelligent to be fooled by it. His glare suddenly becomes a hopeless, reserved expression and when she says he's dealing meth, he's slightly annoyed, as if he thinks ''Pot? Come on, who do you think you're talking to?''
2:12 Anna is such an amazing actress, her little ‘oh like THAT’S any better’ expression here is flawless
Skyler honestly cared more about the lies than with the fact that he was dealing drugs
maybe
At least she didn't do what invincible did with Amber and say "I KNEW YOU WERE A DRUG DEALER ALL ALONG! BUT YOU LIED GO ME AND THATS WORSE THAN DOING SOMETHING ILLEGAL"
Considering the way she soon starts to help him with laundering money, I think you’re correct. Makes me wonder what she would’ve done if he was honest with her about manufacturing meth from the beginning.
Truth is the cornerstone of any good relationship
@@AlexKB1111 that's actually a really good thing to think about
"Marijuana... Cocaine??" "Child trafficking actually... When's Holly due again?"
Bruh
"Sold David Rothschild his 6th and 7th heart actually. I was competitive once I only did trafficking, but (proudly) Skylar you should really see my margins once I started scrapping them for parts at the end"
LMFAO
"I liked it. I was good at it."
Skyler's acting in this scene is so realistic it's chilling. No matter what you think of her as a character, she is acted perfectly.
"how else could you possibly make that amount of money?"
"it was ethereum not dollars"
I never understood why Walt didn't just tell her the truth. I would have said, "I'm dying of cancer. I'm about to leave you with a special needs teenager, an infant, a mortgage, and as a housewife you have no marketable skills to pay for even half of all that. Let me do this so that I may leave all of you with enough money to be comfortable for the rest of your lives and then I'll be out of the game."
@J H Did you watch the entire season? His ego is not what got him started in the meth business
@J H He didn't start off originally to fuel his ego or pride. It was mainly to leave something behind for his wife and children. But down the line, it became about fuelling his ego.
@@youngatnaruto But it is though. Elliot and Gretchen would have funded him, if he wasn't so egotistical.
@@heartribbonhairband Elliot and Gretchen aren't just two random rich people so you can't really make that conclusion. I'm sure you know the story. These two are living a life of luxury made possible by his research. I don't know all the details but he made a poor business decision probably resulting from his failed relationship with Gretchen and decided to leave the company. So it's more complicated than just "ego".

Walt's ego couldn't even come close to recognizing that she was right. In real life, this would be how any sane spouse would react to their husband manufacturing or selling meth. It doesn't matter if he "just manufactures" it.
Right, except manufacturing is worse from a legal standpoint with a heavier criminal penalty.. Funny how Walt absolves himself from all moral responsibility just because he doesn't give the drug directly to the addict.. Interesting how ego can cloud the judgement of even a highly intelligent person
She didn't initially know he was selling meth, she just thought he was selling marijuana. She was literally divorcing him for selling him some weed lmao.
@@siddharthshrivastava1399 It wasn't just some, it was hundreds of thousands worth. It was also about the persistent lying.
I love the scene when she and him are in the trailer or storage unit and there is the container of cash. The container is the size of a Volkswagen. It is hard to wrap your head around.
@@guysview It’s not even a container, it’s just stacks and stacks of cash on probably a pallet.
That brief moment n the subtle expression in his face, after he says "What", is him realising that she knows, so there is no point in trying to deny it.. Bryan Cranston is truely one of the GOATs.
The face he pulls at 1:47 looks full of contempt, as if he was disappointed in hearing that she thinks he’s “just” a weed dealer
Walt loves his family so much that he's lying for Hank, the real Mastermind.
She's so good at bringing together all the pieces.
Well Walt didn’t exactly make it difficult for her to do so
It wasnt that hard lmao. Walt was so careless, it's a wonder he managed to hide it for so long
one of the smartest in the show
It’s because she never underestimated Walt. In this way, Skyler makes a better detective than hank as she is able to connect the dots in just 3 seasons wheares it took 5 seasons for hank to discover that Walt was a drug lord.
Unless it is her family
Skyler: "You're a meth dealer."
Walt: "Actually I'm just a manufacturer."
Skyler: "Oh okay that makes it better, thanks for clearing that up"
This scene is so great. Anna Gunn absolutely knocks it out of the park.
His reaction said "a drug dealer? What kind of animal do you take me for?"
No I don't deal drugs. But I do manufacture them with Jesse...
The acting and facial expressions in this scene are so perfect. It’s exactly how a scenario like this would play out
"There's your side, and there's my side, and you haven't heard my side yet. You haven't heard any of it at all."
"You won the lottery."
One show with soooo many breathtaking moments superbly acted by all involved.
Maybe it's the glasses and goatee -- I'm sure that's part of it at least -- but Bryan Cranston's performance in this show is truly incredible. Even in scenes like this, I don't see him as the actor, I really see Walt as the character.
That's the next level isn't it? When the actor just disappears in a character. One of the best performances in anything ever 👏
You know you're a great actor when you can pretend to be bad at lying
“you’re a drug dealer…”
“YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT”
This is the moment Walt became Singleberg
Walt's ego here... like with the scene at the dinner, when he started correcting Hank that Gale wasn't any genius. The thought that somebody could think that he is just a pot dealer was unbearable for him.
You cannot complain about how no one has heard your side of it WHILE you refuse to share your side at every turn.
I love the chemistry book next to him on his side of the table. His marriage, his job, it's all on the table now literally.
Everyone going around angry that Skylar isn't trustworthy of Walter, when Walt literally breaks her trust THE MOMENT he's able.
This was after she F---Ed Ted right ?
It was precisely at this moment Hank’s rocks became minerals
Bryan Cranston’s acting here, my GOD.
The initial sincere shock and disbelief that Skyler knows, then tries to deny and then looks at her with a mixture of mistrust and…pride almost? He does all this while basically saying nothing as well.
To go "I love you and I'd do anything for you." is a cheap trick to destroy the others emotional defense.
You're a rizzler....
1:08 wow that short pause of genuine shock before then quickly covering it up again as usual, small but so effective he's such a brilliant actor!
This is the exact moment Walt becomes a drug dealer
Nope
Jesus christ mar.. skyler i am the manufacturer.
@@cakerbaby69 Yep
2:10 oh, that changes everything!
Every performance in this show is iconic
Walt would’ve proved he loved them by granting the divorce and staying away from them. Instead, he goes on to ruin all of their lives
Then what's the point of making money
and what kind of boring show would that have made
False. They never would have gotten 9 million dollars if he stopped.
Shut up karen
@@randyscott1496 It was an observation, not a suggestion gif how the show should’ve gone.
I love how Skyler puts it all together. She's known and been married to Walt for years. Even though this is something that's come completely out of the blue, it hasn't taken her long to see right through him. Bearing in mind that in the timeline for Breaking Bad, Walt has only been doing this for about 5 months, even though it's Season 3.
“I’m not a drug dealer, I’m a fundraiser”
Actually when you see it from aside, not Walter perspective, it's worried and stressed wife, because her husband have dangerous job and husband not being concerned about that, but being offended, cause he can be someone more powerful and smart than a dealer. Strange how this show makes it perfect to see through Hainsenberg's point of view.
Chemists arent dealers, dealers are a dime a dozen, a chemist is rare af.
This is the exact moment that Skyler White became Raisin Bran Crunch
Walt letting Skylar go after she said she won't tell Hank aka the authority is kind of a give away that even at this earlier stage, as much as he pretend to, he isn't really doing this for the family.
the acting in this show is just absolutely incredible. i can't even begin
if he admited it i think she would have been cool with it...... judging based upon she isnt such a clean cookie herself. It was the constant lying
She probably wouldn´t have been "cool" with it, but yeah, she probably would have at least appreciated the honesty and trust.
She isn’t a clean cookie? Are you insane? She has literally done nothing wrong her entire life, and then she has to clean up after morally bankrupt people like Walt and Ted.
@@sahirkhan2835 HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
@iLoveJackingOn She wasn’t with Walt, she had filed for divorce and he wasn’t even supposed to be living with her. Not cheating. A deliberate act of revenge and retaliation to a hostage situation. Good on her.
She shouldn’t have smoked while pregnant of course but you’re insane if you’re going to equate that with anything else going on in the series. She’s a human being. Unlike Walt, all of her mistakes and flaws are quite understandable.
@iLoveJackingOn Everyone before the 1980's smoked when they were pregnant, most of us turned out ok.
This scene is an exemplification of how Walt’s need to have control, while seeing everything start to fall apart by his own doing, causes a transformation into desperation.
“Marijuana”
Walt should have ran with that 😂
He's the one who knocks
