Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

Even if it's a front, Gus still treats his civilian employees more respectfully than most legitimate business owners or managers.
Indeed. While it could be argued that it’s out of a sense to keep them happy so they don’t ask questions, I think he’s able to compartmentalize his activities and be genuinely friendly with his workers.
I don't think he's a straight p.o.s. he's a businessman and his partner being killed had fueled an unrelenting desire for revenge so ruthless is who he had to be.
He still has respect for the working man and probably even slightly admires Lyle.
Gus would make a good legitimate business owner.
I’d be a chill boss if I knew I was making millions from selling “chicken”
@@TheGreatDearLeaderJimPickens the dear leader would know all about being a charismatic boss
"You may all go home... You will be compensated for your shifts."
At least he's fair as a boss.
Well this business is just a front for his real business. It would be for his best interest that he would treat his employees nicely if he wants to keep it that way.
Russ Canduit yeah I considered that too. Better to pay your entire workforce their hourly rate for their shift than to compromise your meth business worth millions.
@@riffdex Not only that he gave them free overtime for it afterward.
No skin off his back. More money being laundered
he was fair drug lord also, look at what happened after his death...
You can tell Gus is a good boss, even after telling them to go home they hesitate. They’re obviously worried about him, shows how much they like/respect him.
I think Victor would agree with that.
He's not a good boss he will dispose of anyone immediately if they endanger his operations. He's merely playing the good boss to keep the front smooth.
@@Pahricida They cannot see the diffrence tho. For them Gus is just a good, caring person who got in trouble.
@@Pahricida He's good to his legit employees
If only they knew...
Lyle is cold blooded, loyal, and fries a mean chicken wing. That's why he's instrumental to Gus Fring's operation.
Lyle was always behind the scenes watching from afar
He was up to pollo standards
why is he cold-blooded?
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD IS GONNA ROLL ME
Im looking forward to the "Lyle: spinoff. He wont be playing any games

Truth
Hector is an idiot, confronting Fring at his restaurant publicly like this. Could have exposed all of them. He's lucky none of Fring's employees went and told the police.
Hector was always an idiot. He even got his nephew; who could have saved the Salamancas and Don Eladio’s empire, killed. All because of his lack of foresight and narrow mindedness.
Gus had a perfectly logical explanation for his crew the next day. Hell, it satisfied me, and I didn't get the 24 hours overtime...
@@isaacfaith9369 who are you talking about, im confused
@@tcniatcniatcnia I think Lalo?
Hector is not an idiot. Look at how he handled Mike. He never trusted Gus and had no respect for him. He had more influence than Gus at that moment so he didn't give a damn.
No wonder Gus taunted him relentlessly in Breaking Bad.
"Look at me Hector"
Breaking Bad did a decent job at answering that too, with ‘Hermanos'
😂😂😂
Revenge is best served cold. And gus was very cold to Hector in the end.
@ZCentury6 yeah hectors revenge, was very hot 😆7
Hector was no winner in the end anyways
Lyle has the work ethic of Spongebob Squarepants.
I laughed out loud
We meet again fake
Haha
YELLOW!
Damn I thought u died
I love how all of Gus' employees are fearing for him, meanwhile Gus is fearing for all of them. Such a beautiful dichotomy
He doesn't fear for his employees, he actually fears that this situation leads to police investigations. So he has to be the nicest boss you can ever imagine.
@@sascha2634 either way better than walt or any Salamanca
@@sascha2634 At least his employees care for him and that shows that he is a good boss
@@zacharie2334 even if he is doing it to not bring unnecessary eyes onto him (cause he's the chicken man) I believe actions mean more than why's. Like when he first brought Walt in he wanted to bring him in by his own wishes and not fear.
@@sascha2634 No man, Fring cares about the employees in a roughly similar way he would his children or pets. Plus, they are honestly the single most valuable pieces in his Front.
I love how Gus smiles in an evil way in the end knowing that his plan is working meanwhile Hector is thinking that he is in control. Brilliant writing and acting as always.
"When you are strong, project weakness and when you are weak, project strength" a paraphrase from the art of war. Gus was an absolute master at this idea.
Nah he's smiling cuz he made the shot
someone kindly explain to me how all this went according to Gus's plan?
@@Arthur_StJohn he became more influential as the main distributor of the Cartel, one step in eventually destroying the Cartel and creating his own drug empire
@@Arthur_StJohn before that there were many distributors of the drugs
he just made them all reliant on HIM

Lyle was Gus most trusted fryer, the cartel wanted him for his frying abilities, the fries had a 99% vegetable oil purity

The best cook in the country.

@@ourcorrectopinions6824 I'd dare say he's the true protagonist. If you look closely you can see that all events revolve around him.
😂
He was actually Steven Seagals top student
He could have neutralized all of them in seconds
Hes a real one
Gus should have told hector if he has a complaint he can call corporate.
pro every so often i see you binge breaking bad clips. Nice.
honestly though.
You be watching those clips
hello theprofessional
True. But...Between Hector and cooperate. I don't think they're alike.
I love how Gus Fring speaks. Most people would say "you'll be paid in full" he says "you will be compensated for your full shifts"
I feel like secondhand English speakers use the language in a way that's more varied than firsthand English speakers in an effort to be more clearly understood, and it often comes off better than a lot of speech from firsthand speakers. I say this as a firsthand speaker.
@@TheNinja94a Completely agree
@@TheNinja94a as an ESL teacher... You're absolutely right.
When I was teaching, I had to be a posh, uptight Brit speaking the Queens English and nothing else.
Because that's the most easily understood dialect across the world. Anyone will understand Queens English, but regional dialects and slang? That varies wildly. It makes the students sound very verbose, sometimes like cunts, but at the very least, they're gonna be understood no matter where they go.
@@TheNinja94a To me, the way Gus speaks is a little "off" - mechanical, over-precise and distant. Of course, this fits his character perfectly.
I liked the sentence from him in bb “i need 200 pounds to make this economically viable”
In my eyes Gustavo was the real badass. Man lasted decades in a drug game, maintained anonymity in the real world, ran a drug empire AND managed 14 restaurants. He was a different breed. Always polite, stoic & calculated. Walt could never
Walt is a true coward in comparison
Walts big advantage is that he never had to play the long game(which is the hard game). That made him dangerous. Gus played carefully and calculated, Walt was both extremely valuable as well as spontaneous and risktaking. Its a dangerous pairing
Walt had ego
Thats why Mike said. Just because you shot Jesse James..
@@victorherrera6714 nope
The amount of patience Gus had to have was astounding

Stop commenting on others and do something good for ya family. Snap back to reality
This was actually his plan from the beginning. If I remember correctly he orchestrated this to happen so that he could be a part of their supply and eventually capture someone in his organization. This is him pretending to be angry.
@@billybob042665 - yeah, I mean, all those dissertations on _The Great Gatsby_ and its character arcs / motivations - _f*ck_ that sh*t and every other consideration of fiction and art, right? 🙄
Faizan 11-A snap back to reality oop there goes gravity
Lyle: are you sure you wanna be left here with these guys?
Gus: yes Lyle, I have plot armor until Breaking Bad season 4 episode 13.
I read that exactly as Gus would say it…voice, tone & all lol!
Lyle: "Uh, I'm sorry sir, but what does that mean?"
Gus: "Lyle, please... go home."
2:42 “You want cry to ball sac” truly one of the most line in television history
It's the truly of a time
He said one of the things ever
Cry to ball sack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@CP0rings33 Definitely one of the scenes of all time
This scene is so
"My employees are civilians. Your actions here today have endangered them."
Gus Fring might be a cold blooded, murdering cartel boss but he gives more of a shit about his employees than most bosses I've worked for.
Debatable. If a bunch of civilians that work at the same place began disappearing it would bring suspicion from law enforcement and the community, something the Cartel doesn't want.
Gus was a way better crime/regular boss than Walter White
Fring doesn't give a shit about his employees, he gives a shit about having LE poke around his spotless establishment and inevitably uncovering his cartel links. He threatened a literal infant, what makes you think he gives half a fuck about his wage slaves? He cares about his image.
Tell that to Hector.
@@Droplekz I would, but your approval isn't really worth the effort.
He smiles because he's finally close to his plan in BrBa. He's convinced the Cartel to rely more heavily on him, getting him closer to them. Gus' patience was his most dangerous quality. The slow game was always his favorite game.
Gus is the embodiment of "patience is the killer"
I really doubt the slow game was his favourite game when it comes to extracting revenge on the people who killed his friend, the slow game is usually just the safer one
@@louiswaze4603 and thats why its his favourite.. i bet he is a slow chess player too... slowley setting up a situiation where he cannot lose and has the maximum controll
@@tobibender7475 when it comes to revenge for his friend you are completely incorrect, he even tried to immediately kill hector after it happened, so a quick act of justice was definitely preferred in that situation. In terms of other mistakes throughout the series I agree that the slow method was probably his favourite (due to the positives we discussed and how many times he implemented it), it has been a year since I’ve rewatched it but I can remember many more slow approaches to problems when referring to gus rather then hasty ones. I would have to make a firm disagreement about the original point though, I don’t think there’s any supporting evidence to really prove otherwise so it’s basing the decision of preponderance of evidence.
@@louiswaze4603 yeah you are right in terms of the origin. I was approaching it from the "present" point of view where he made that method his own and perfectioned it.
Watching Gus enjoy the rare, private moment of simple human levity in throwing that foil into the bin... I love that moment, it shows even he has a genuine playful side that isn't just for business. Of course, there's a lot he could be thinking with that smile, given the context, but I like to think he's just happy he got it in lol
wasn't he paralleling the cinched plan with the cinched toss?
I think it was him telling himself his plan is nothing but net.
Kobe
Basically it was telling us, Gus just scored, in the bin and with Hector
Getting the crumbled paper ball in the wastebasket, is one of the simple pleasures in life.
You can really see who the real leader is here. Hector goes and has a tantrum like an overgrown baby and decides to Lord it over everyone because he can. Gus calms his staff, makes sure they’re okay and sends them home fully compensated, not to mention he gives them over overtime and offers them free counselling afterwards. What a legend Gus is.
And he landed the garbage in the trash can. Arguably the biggest W.
Ironically, Hector pulled this move in a desperate attempt to keep his power, but it ended up making him dependent on Gus.
Hector is a pathetic sack of garbage, easily the most unlikeable character of the entire show imo.
I always loved how Gus is so calm and gentle alongside normal people. But against his enemies he’s cold blooded and scary.
And he switches back and forth at the drop of a hat.
If they killed my partner in front of me, I think that would piss off most people, the cartel made Gus into the monster he would become

Lyle's the only employee who doesn't just run away. He deserves to be the manager's assistant.
Lyle was actually moments away from tearing those guys apart but Gus saved them
I’m sure when Gus opened another restaurant he made Lyle the manager of that one
Assistant “to” the manager
That kid has potential, he is loyal and fearless.
He is only "acceptable" though.
@@Maw0 to be fair that incident had nothing to do with Lyle or the friers(fryers? Idk how to spell) being dirty. Gus was being forced against his will to do something and he needed to assert some kind of dominance in that moment. Gus is a narcissist like Walt is- or least Gus was at this point in is life
Lyle had done nothing wrong, the fryers were Spotless after Lyle cleaned them. He just made lyle do it again to assert dominance, and a little fear as well. "It is acceptable" was all part of that need of his
@@ConnorNotyerbidness He also ensured that Lyle would clean the shit out of that fryer every night for the rest of his life. If you hold people to ridiculous standards as a manager they're always gonna be working to live up to them
@@biggusdickus1689 never said Gus was a good person. Thats the point- he isnt. And while he puts on a facade of being kind, he can be a real bastard even to someone as dedicated and loyal as Lyle
@@ConnorNotyerbidness Oh of course
Gus is a legit machine. Straight back to clearing trays right after a run in with a cartel boss. All in a day's work.
The man had pride in his food business!
He is a man with nothing to lose
Clearing trays and draining 3's
I think it's a form of meditation for him. Keeping a clean shop, keeping the body busy while the mind works overtime.
Then hits the Kobe shot
Rest in peace Mark thank you for bringing the character Hector Salmanca to life🙏🏻🕊️
Maybe Heisenberg really killed him on the wheel chair.
Hector was one of the most captivating characters of BCS, in BB he had no lines, a character who only communicated through facial expressions, and in BCS, Gilligan managed to capture his exact personality with words despite none being written for him in 6+ years
Hector sucks you always want him to die, now gus other hand is the best

@@morenaczarnecki5066 oh really?how did you come to such a brilliant deduction?

The guy who plays Hector from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
To me, Gus seems not only being patient after Hector’s visit, but also seem quite satisfied realizing that he made Hector angry and inferior than him in business, and have no other option to lean on his distribution route :)
I like to thing that he also thought he could use that factor for his interests
This was all Gus's plan
He got Mike to cripple hectors ability to move product using the ice cream trucks, so that hector would try to muscle in on Gus to use his trucks too.
When to the higher ups it became clesr that Gus managed to distribute all the product through his trucks without actually needing Hector, hector was cut out of it.
Thats why Gus has his little victory moment of tossing the trash like a basketball
He played Hector like a fiddle
Oh, that makes sense

I love that he still cleans up the restaurant afterwords. This man cares about his opening workers! One of the most interesting characters on TV of all time.
By cleaning up, he reasserts control over the world the cartel disrupted. The final scene evokes a sense that Gus is reminding himself of the long game, and why he is doing this.
Yes yes bravo Vince! The role of a! What a subtle! They even remembered to! Interesting because! Bravo Vince bravo!
Mark Margolis can play ANYTHING. He's a traditional Jewish man but he can play an Italian mob boss in OZ, an Irish gangster in Marvel, and a Cartel Don In Breaking Bad... what a legend
And a Colombian hitman in Scarface
He played Ace Ventura’s landlord.
Marvel?
Don’t forget, he played “Fitzgerald” the annoying art critic in Dinner Rush (great movie).
What! He played a character in a marvel film???😭😭
Hector, enjoying the simple things in life. When he could kick back and put his feet on a table. When he could cross them, then lean foward and pick dirt from his shoes. If only he knew that his future was a bell-dinger.

He's a great actor and plays the drug lord part pretty well, but the Chilean part I doubt it. You can't take Gus seriously when he is speaking spanish because his pronunciation is just awful, even though I'm a native spanish speaker I still need subtitles to understand what the hell he's saying lol
No such thing exists....he is an American but try find a passport that states anything other than American!!
Gus Fring knows that treating his employees well breeds loyalty, and loyal employees can provide as much protection as money, lawyers, or guns.
Grande Hector, siempre imponiendo respeto. RIP
Hard to believe that Gus Fring, the single most intimidating antagonist in the entire breaking bad series, could speak so kindly and softly, 0:55 "please do as I ask"
He wanted his staff to be calm so they wouldn't notify the police. Gus is purely rational and understand what all the pieces on the board could do and he pushes then in the direction that works best for himself. The fact that it helps then as well is secondary.
0.55 when Gus knows how to deal with a situation like this.
Kindly and softly? He was speaking firmly.

I love how soft spoken Gus is, even in tense situations
He danced well
Did donaladioooo approve this?
The chicken always looks well cooked at Gus' place...and the restaurant is very clean. I care not that he was a drug dealer only that he delivered a high-quality eating experience and at very reasonable rates.
And keeping a fried chicken place spotless is not easy as grease gets everywhere and if you don't clean thoroughly every day the place will be a pig sty in no time.
Gus is the perfect anti hero. He had more honor than the producers of the drugs or even Saul. Kept his private life separate from his business life. Didn't have the collateral damage around him that the other characters did. To him he was providing a product to people that wanted it. Nobody else's business. Delusional yes, but simple.
Thank you for using "Anti-Hero" in its proper context. It's so fucking refreshing.
A huge reason Mike is super pissed finding out Gus was killed by Walt
And in the last few seconds of the scene, it shows that atleast in my opinion that Gus when cleaning the final scraps of leftovers and threw the paper perfectly in the trash bin, he was satisfied and smiled. In putting the right context, he may atleast know that there are people whom are innocent and may be using them as an alibi for witnessing that he's just a legitimate business man but when it comes to the right mind, seeing he maybe cared for the employees and said to them that they can go home now and Lyle being loyal is a sign for people that has actual respectable leader that actually cares for his workers. And knowing people will say this that he killed Victor and he's basically subtle when being ruthless to people whom are presumably his enemies if needed at the right times. Plus Victor maybe loyal but he was incompetent and Walt saying things to help him being alive but he has a point that people that have no right skills for the right job have no right to be in the job. He only shows ruthlessness to people that harm him and his workers and his business being a collateral damage if needed. Sorry if I messed up something in my theory that supports this fine lad here that Gus is a effective and respectable leader and an anti hero.
@@oksomynameisjeff4212 Um, he's a sociopath. He's simply calculated enough to know that looking after his employees is the best facade. But even Walt calls him very professional.
minus the part where he had children killed, but yeah!
4:15 While also being a professional business owner, he is also a professional trash-thrower
Gus does such a good job hiding his emotions I couldn’t tell if he was slightly anxious because they were bringing cartel business into his restaurant or he was irritated that Hector thought he owned him. Gus appears with the same calm demeanor he always has but there’s a slight hint of contempt
I think he is perhaps more irritated that Hector is so stupid as to be so public and brazen. All it would have taken for that to go sideways would be for a plain clothes cop or federal agent to have been dining at the restaurant and suddenly you have much bigger problems.
I really don't know why, but man, I know Hector's character is serious, but everytime he appears, his facial expressions, and his lines always make me laugh. "I approve diss." "Da boss can suucc me!" 😂
My favourite was 'relájateee’ when he was talking to Nacho’s father Manuel. I don’t know man, but every time I watch this scene I can’t help but laugh at the way he says it 😄

I could watch Gus cleaning his restaurant for hours lol. Doesn't have to do much to captivate the audience!
What kind of fetish is that? 🤣
@@the_picsopedia Squat cobbler
The training videos are the best
Then you can watch anything and be entertained.
That was like some ASMR shit I tell ya. 😂
I feel like Gus would have been successful in literally any business. He has perfect dedication, nearly perfect control of his emotion. He is 100% driven, but steady and meticulous. It just sucks that he got into the drug business, instead of something legal and so much less bloodthirsty. Hell, he would have made billions just by expanding Los Pollos Hermanos.
Look how much he cares about his employees, he expects them to work hard and intelligently, but he won't risk their health.
You can also tell that he won’t give his employee’s a task he wouldn’t be willing to do himself which I think is sadly rare in the real world of fast food management
Remember when Gus tells Hector the story of how he tortured a small animal to death for eating from his family's fruit tree?
Even before his fateful first meeting with Don Eladio, Gus was one disturbed individual. It's like he was fated to end up working in a violent, dirty profession.
@@rdrrr I thought that was a metaphor
@@rdrrr My guess is that his relationship with Max was the one thing that stabilized him from his implied violent past, so it stands to reason that without Max, he was willing to go back to that lifestyle, albeit in a much more cautious manner.
Just to mention a different side, though not taking away from Gus' resourcefulness - whatever business he would have started would have been fueled by drug money for laundering. so it surely would have been 'profitable' ;)
RIP Don Hector
That smile that Gus gives at the end when he nails that shot in the trash can just cracked me up, I’ve almost never seen a legitimate smile like that from Gus
Every time I see a scene in Los Pollos Hermanos I want a dark comedy with Gus in the manager's role but the 90% of the show is focused on comedic situations at the store. Only 10% of the show would hint at Gus' other activities but a running gag would be how oblivious the employees are to what's really going on.
Vince Gilligan wouldn't even need to be all that involved in the writing -- get the people who wrote Superstore to do it. Someone on that staff has a great understanding of the service industry.
I wish they would turn Los polls hermanos into a real chain. The damn thing would rival all fast food joints for sure.
@@MONROE_GAMES1981 minus the meth business, of course
No
Only thing I ask is that they don't use vegetable oil. And they use lard or beef fat Instead. Otherwise it's the same bullshit.
Like the T.V show Mel's Diner?
Lyle is such a fantastic employee. I hope nothing bad ever happens to him.
he's a terrible employee, he can't even clean a deep fryer properly
@@nguyenminhkien1588 he can gus needed him there for an alibi
@@nguyenminhkien1588 Depends on your level of satisfaction
@@H2OzLOLs woosh
Lyle was devastated that Gus found his Deep fryer cleaning ability only "acceptable" and in a state of confused disappointment turned to Crack cocaine to ease his termoil.. sleeping in for work the following day...Gus fired him.
Rest in peace Mark Margolis A.K.A Hector 💔
It brings me joy seeing gus be professional and kind towards his employees better then most real life legit managers/business owners
Lmao I've never seen fast food workers be so involved and dedicated with their jobs they're like the people you would see on the orientation videos
Even in a crappy job, it can be amazing what happens to people with good leadership. Gus is a brutal drug lord who will kill exactly when needed, but he is a reasonable man, and he takes care of his employees. A good boss can inspire loyalty anywhere.
The fact that there is actually orientation videos for Los Pollos Hermanos makes this funny.
You’d be amazed at how much an employee will stick up for their boss when they’re treated right. You’ve heard the term Company Man? It’s because companies used to give a shit about their employees. You’d get a raise every year and a promotion if you fought for it. People could retire for real and you’d actually be thanked for your time with the company. Gus is very much like that to his Pollos Hermanos workers. They’re employees of a legitimate business and have no stake in the production of meth. They’re innocent and he wants them to believe that he’s a straight ace. So he treats them respect.
golden state warriors fan.. so you should know what in n' out is right? and chick fil'a.
these are probably a couple of fast food chains with these type of employees
@@stevewang4603 Highly doubt that. You can't say that until you have worked in one of those places and seen people like that.
nacho switching the pills must be the most heroic thing a bad guys ever done in this series. hands down
I just realized that Nacho switching the pills was like Walter switching the cigarette …I wonder if they’ll ever find out 😳
nacho kinda dumb for swapping the pills... a cartel war was about to start they were gonna kill Hector but nope..
@@CookieThug well to be fair he didn't know Gus was an issue. If he killed Hector, he could potentially save him and his father.
@@abm5396 yup.
Gus actually lists off the safety of his employees first, and with how they treat him, it actually shows Gus is a respectable buisness owner, unlike Hector.
Those shots at the end of this scene is what made this show unique. It was boring asf, just cleaning up some trays and hitting a swishy, but it gave the viewers time to just, think about it, which television shows often don't do.
it wasn't boring, it showed a lot about what a badass / scary character gus was, that after being threatened by a cartel boss, he is still so cold blooded and in control to do such ordinary things in such a boring way.
It’s almost poetic how they both die in the end watching their relationship unfold on this show.
I love how colors is used, yellow shirt for employees, meaning innocent, civilians, and Nacho and his partner are full leather black jacket, the street, crime organization...
And Gus, yellow shirt and black necktie, half civilians innocent and half cartel bad guy
@alephcrowe7 actually if u pay attention that is what they did the whole show. Used colours to mean something.
I have thought about this myself!
Pollos Hermanos employees wear yellow shirts as part of their uniform, so it makes sense Gus wears a yellow shirt too. I do think they chose it for what his character would wear because it it's friendly, non threatening, innocent looking.
The other guys wear black because bad guys always do on television. They never look as cool in real life unfortunately.
Its a great show, but what your saying is bullshit. Its yellow because thats the color of a food chain nowadays light colors, and also its black because thats a normal hollywood thing. Hate people you make things deep when its not
@@KimSalimVFX calm down man. It is a confirmed thing that they used colour in some cases to represent something in a situation.
@@KimSalimVFX I've been waiting for this comment so many people do this overthinking shit 👌

The disrespect Hector shows Gus is incredible. Both of these evil men get what they deserve.
Gus seemed a whole lot nicer to his Los Pollos Hermanos employees than those working in his other business.
They're not in the game
Because Gus was a legitimate businessman, even if an illegal one.
As *xAlerick* put it, they aren’t in the game. They don’t know the score, they don’t know the rules.
Keeping up a good image is of great importance to Gus, so naturally he is nice to the employees that are part of a legitimate business. Keeps them from asking questions among other things.
Giancarlo Esposito is without doubt one of the finest actors I have seen in a long time - his capacity to reveal, within his portrayal of Gus Fring, the patience, self respect , and cool dignity of the character is astounding. And yes, as has been pointed out , his Prussian sense of loyalty to his subordinates as an employer who isn't afraid of work is a fictional example of how, in reality, to run a business.
I love the cleanup at the end; Gus asserting control of his business, at least to himself, and the smile at the end, a subtle reminder to himself of the control and power he still has...
Gus is a very good professional leader.. He is calm, composed and supportive of employees. Look how cheerfully and meticulously he clears the table in the end. This kind of attitude gives you success in long term. Many bosses wouldn't do such a thing themselves.
You don't need to be a professional leader
To know that it's is in your best interest to do all major and minor works that is necessary when the very least 50 percent of something belongs to you.
It is common sense
It ait rocket science cuz
Looking at ones bank account should be all compensation ones needs even if the toilets need scrubbing.
I think they call it skin in the game.
He's a master manipulator, a psychopathic genius and has an OCD for cleanliness. He's calm and composed because he's literally devoid of feeling and emotion. He would kill his family without so much as a blink if he deemed it necessary. These are not quite the traits of a good leader...
@@scubadope maybe becuase Hector killed his lover/ best friend in front of eyes and made him watch hi soulless eyes as they left his body. Oh idk, just a guess
@betterthangoat I mean no guy isn't completely in the right he literally was going to murder Walters family
Most bosses aren't running a drug business under the guise of a legitimate business either.
Every time I watch a Los Pollos Hermanos episode, I end up at Popeye's.
me too
i always order from Los Pollos Hermanos
So true.
Same here or KFC
@@AfrikanMonkey It is a real restaurant :)
Love that Kobe made a guest appreance at 4:16, true legend :D
An alternate version of the scene, sadly not used, had Lyle take out one of the henchmen with a food tray and oil from the deep fryer before yelling "I'm not locked in her with you! YOU ARE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!"
I love the little moments of satisfaction we get from Gus. He plays at being such a small, harmless piece so well we often forget exactly what he is capable of.
RIP HECTOR
Rest in Peace Mark Margolis. You will be missed Don Hector.
