I LOVE that quote, Paula! It said everything about the transition he'd made from unassuming to in command.

And isn't it odd, as I think Mike put it, that Gus is a vegetarian running a chicken empire?

Walt: I am the one who knocks.

Sure, he meant it in a much darker, scarier way, but freelancers have to knock on doors - metaphorically, if not physically - to find new clients.

I'm sure Gus would have had a few lessons for us, too. After all, he ran a drug empire AND a successful chicken franchise.
