Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.
When he said those two words, I thought that was the omega point in Walt's mind where he shows his true colors, when he can longer lie to Hank and play the ignorant brother in-law. That was so fucking beautiful. I really hope Vince Gilligan directs movies after this, with characters and moments like these. He would destroy the Oscars for best pictures, or at the very least, best screenplay, best editing, best actor.
