[saying his goodbye to Gus over a DVD video message] 

And so, I accept that this is my fatal flaw. I just can't quite engage all the way when I really need to. When it really matters, you know? When the chips are down. So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm sorry, Gus. I'm sorry that I can't do goodbyes. I tried so hard to tell you, man. I just... I just suck at the real stuff, you know that. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be better than fine. I just can't help thinking that the only problem that you really had this whole time... is me. And I've kept you from the life you deserve, you know? The life that you've earned, the life that you'd have if I hadn't barged into your office eight years ago and said, 'We're gonna play detective whether you want to or not.' I love you, man.”
