*SPOILERS for BB 4.13* I couldn’t help it - this is the only thing that ran through my mind.
Gus: Can you cook Walter’s formula?
Jesse: What?
Gus: Walter’s formula. Can you produce his product, without any help? Alone?
Jesse: No. Why? You’re asking me if I can cook Mr. White’s crystal? Without him? Me? The junkie loser you were about to waste and dump in a desert a month ago? This is your plan, huh? Invite me in your house, make whatever this is, be my buddy and make me feel important?
Walt: You kill me, you have nothing. You kill Jesse, you don’t have me.

Gus: Why did you make these decisions?
Walt: For the good of my family.
Gus: Then they weren’t bad decisions. What does a man do, Walter? A man provides for his family.
Walt: This costs me my family.
Gus: When you have children, you always have family. They will always be your priority, your responsibility. And a man — a man provides. And he does it even when he’s not appreciated. Or respected. Or even loved. He simply bears up. And he does it. Because he’s a man.

Gus: I think that you’re confusing me for someone else.
Walt: I don’t think I am.
Gus: Sir, if you have a complaint, I suggest you submit it through our email system. I will be happy to refer you to our website.
Walt: I was told that the man I would be meeting with is very careful. A cautious man. I believe we’re alike in that way. If you are who I think you are, you should give me another chance.
Gus: I don’t think we’re alike at all, Mr. White. You are not a cautious man at all.
