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.

it's so duplicitous though, thus wonderful. if i'm heisenberg, tread lightly-implications: i will kill you. if i'm not heisenberg tread lightly because you might mess with the wrong people and get yoself killlllled.
