Bestman

If we go way way back to German Folklore, one might want to run over hill and dale and steal a wife. When doing so, one would want to bring the Best Man in a fight one could find and have him by your side until the wedding night was over. This seems really out of the blue, but Saul is a traditionalist. In Chapter 2, he is "starving", but does not eat anything unti Angel allows it. Saul has no real respect for Angel, but does not "Dig In" without a go ahead from the Patriarch.
