Forgot about Rawls

I just did my second rewatch. I waited five years so I could forget a good bit and really enjoy it the second time. I forgot Rawls is closeted, and it never comes out. In a lesser show, they would have outed him. I think it's great that they showed how a person in power can hide in broad daylight

He’s a colossal prick, but he’s one of the best characters in the show imo.

The line where he tells Lester

“when I fuck you over you’ll know it. You’ll be so god damned certain you won’t need to ask the question.”

makes me laugh even after like 6-8 rewatches.

Any chance you (or anyone else) knows what to type on YouTube to see this clip?

Just tried and can’t find it easily. I’m rewatching now actually and saw it recently. I believe it’s season 2 episode 5 or 6
