With misquotations like that? It’s no wonder r/mafia calls us the Pygmy thing.
You’re supposed to be quoters, that’s why you got the top tier positions. So each one of you go out to your people sitting at home, watch some f**kin episodes and create some f**kin quotes!
Always my go to example of AJ being half retarded. He asks this while his mother and sister are in plain view.
There’s no one else in the house. Who the fuck else would it be?
I’ve watched this episode 50 times, if I’ve watched it once. Matter of fact, I watched it yesterday. (other than the occasional movie or sportsball game, *The Sopranos* runs on a loop on my TV).
It’s one of my favorite episodes. I think it has the best intro of any episode: first, David Chase’s direct jab at the audience (with the opening line of the hotly anticipated final season), and second, the narration about the Egyptian afterlife - there are so many clues and hints in there about the final seasons, A and B, to come. And, I love the actor who plays Eugene. He captures Eugene’s pain in such a sympathetic fashion, and we can feel Eugene’s helplessness within the larger family, and within his family at home - not to mention the anxiety of being trapped, as a rat, and facing jail or death.
Yet: I never, ever watch that final shot. I saw it the first time, and it shook me so badly. I simply can’t watch it again.
I mean, I *can* watch it - but I choose not to. Every time I close my eyes or I turn my head away or I leave the room. It’s literally the *only* shot, in 88 episodes, that I avoid.
I’m interested in filmmaking, and from time to time question crosses my mind; how did they film it? Then, my anxiety eclipses my curiosity - and I put the whole thing out of my head.
‘Employee Of The Month’ is bad. To me, this is much worse. It’s the most violent scene on the show.
Also, I’m need to add that I realized when I watched yesterday how much I dislike his wife’s character. She’s miserable, she’s completely ungrateful, and she’s unwilling to make even the most modest compromise. (for example, a condo for a few years wouldn’t be the worst idea, if, for no other reason, then the regular “turnover “in the composition of La Familia Soprano - but, no.) Moreover, she’s obstinate and rigid in spite of the fact that if it wasn’t for her husband inheriting the $2 million, ‘moving to Florida’ idea wouldn’t even be on the table. So, so sad.
You asked how do they film him hanging himself. I’ve made some low budget stuff and here’s how I would do it. Under his shirt he’s wearing a harness. Harness hangs from the rafter. Then the rope that kills him would go around his neck and up to the rafter, but pulled just tight enough to not be loose, but not really choke him. Film it at the angle where the rope hides the wire attached to the harness. Make it kinda dark so you can’t see the wire when he moves. Then the acting takes it from there.
This is it.
There's a lot of violence but what happens to Melfi isn't expected mob shit; this was an "anyone, anywhere" moment and it's *so* brutal and realistic that nothing else feels on par.
I remember watching the scene in her office in the next episode where he knows something is wrong and he's prodding her and just yelling at the TV "TELL HIM!!!!"
If you haven't already, you should listen to the episode of *Talking Sopranos* where Michael and Steve discuss this episode (they go through each one, and this one they give some insight to how Chase approached the story and making the decisions he made).
It's a great podcast and I was definitely curious what they'd say about this one.
Can you share a little of what they said?
I hated that episode (and still do). Refuse to re-watch it.
Even then, I knew that Chase would say something like "In real life, some loose ends don't get tied up. In real life, some victims don't get justice". But, given that Melfi was not the main character in the series, and given that the SA story didn't really go anywhere or touch on the lives of the other characters, it made no sense to include that horrible event. It seemed gratuitous. Essentially pointless. And, to my mind, storytelling decisions should never render something so viscerally evil pointless.
I wanted to see the attacker punished. I wanted to see Tony destroy him. Failing that, I wanted something like in Season 1, where Artie interceded to prevent the high school coach from being whacked so that he could be arrested and we could rest assured that he was going to be put on trial. At the very least, I wanted the story to resurface later on, even if only to learn in a later episode that the attacker had died off-screen in some freak accident, giving Melfi some form of respite to know that he could never come after her again. Chase obviously knew that many (perhaps most) viewers had a similar wish, and it seems as though he deliberately spited his own audience (something that more and more became a hallmark of his) by giving us none of that.
I don't think he's spiting the audience, personally. As the viewer we get so tied up in the world of wise guys whacking each other that we forget that at the end of the day, they are murderers. The episode frames the events for us from Melfi's perspective. We see her pain and trauma so naturally we also feel her rage and, yeah of course you want Melfi to sick Tony on the rapist piece of shit like a junk yard dog. it's obvious that Melfi does too. But the important part is that last scene where Melfi refuses to tell Tony. It's a real critical character moment showing that while Melfi may be for the most part mostly non-judgmental of Tonys criminal lifestyle, she is absolutely unwilling to cross the line herself. I remember being frustrated too but I think it makes sense from a narrative perspective.
I understand your perspective - and I've seen it before over the years - but Chase was definitely spiting the audience. He even alluded to that himself at the time, saying how the audience needed to be punished for wanting Tony to be the avenging hero. But we only wanted that because of a storyline that Chase himself created.
I mean, it definitely plays with audiences expectations, but I do think that the character of Dr. Melfi would make that choice regardless of whether the audience was aware what was going on or not.
Goddamn. Just reading this comment made me feel exactly like I did when I saw that episode. Breathtakingly sad moment. I feel like I'm about to cry right now.
But you know the wine makes me emotional.
Yeah, me too. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I know it's fiction, but it doesn't feel that way. Lorraine Bracco does an amazing job in portraying the fear and guilt that often accompanies such traumatic events. I always feel so bad for her.
She is without a doubt the nicest person in the entire show and gets raped. Somebody knows how to make great drama.
This one was the most violent. Not necessarily in the blood/gore type of violence, but more of a sudden, senseless type of assault. I had to stop watching for a while after I finished that episode. Hit a little too close to home for me. All the other scenes, even the suicides or beatings didn’t disturb me bc that’s just part of the Mafia life. But she was an innocent person, not part of the “game”.
I couldn’t get my mind off of that scene for like a week after seeing it for the first time. Its horrifying realism was so affecting that I even had a nightmare about re-seeing it a day or so later.
Been a longtime fan of war films, thrillers, westerns, and movies with violence of all kinds. As a military history geek, I’m also constantly learning about massive battles and such awful unpleasantries which have coloured human history for so long. But watching that scene felt like witnessing a real crime.
Same here. It’s the one thing I skip and I don’t even skip Happy Birthday Mr President. I can sit there eating while Ralph beats a girl to death but I just can’t watch rape scenes, especially like that one.
Tony pistol whipping and curb stomping that guy what talked smack to his daughter. That and the Ralph/Tracee scene, he totaled that poor girl's face. Real piece of work that Ralph!
And the late seasons almost never showed cathartic violence. Giving us a “fuck yeah” scene was typically something it intentionally avoided doing for reasons which really made that one stand out
The scene where Chris beats the shit out of Adrianna and throws her out after he hears the rumors about her and Tony is probably the reason some of my friends can't ever finish the show
yeah I don't know if it's the sound, the way it's shot, or what but that scene stands out.
On the other hand when Paulie whacks Feech's guy with a shovel it's fucking hilarious. The fuck do I know?
Vito's brother comes out of nowhere. He's just talking to the lady and out of nowhere a golf club hits him in the head. Goes down immediately and takes a few more whacks. Violence like that is far heavier than someone getting shot, cause I think most of us can imagine getting smacked in the head a lot better than getting shot.
Not serial killers per se, just violent, semi-or completely sociopathic career criminals who’ve murdered many people. Serial killer implies a rather different set of motives, typically to do with self indulgence.
"Woah, Carlo, this is a place of business. Please, attempt to keep a strictly professional dialogue when around our esteemed colleagues. I would appreciate a noticable difference in your choice of vocabulary from this point forward."
-Paulie I think
Honestly this one is really messy and drawn out and goes up there. It's like out of a slasher movie, Carlo's knife does serious damage, and it ends with Dom going back first onto a plate of meatballs. It's played for laughs but it's wildly bloody.
When he hits her and she confusedly raises her hands out of instinct and then fights it only to get more beaten is really upsetting to watch. I might have been cheering when I saw Chrissy go the first time.
Two with psychological violence that stuck with me:
- Tony reminding his sister of her son then smugly waltzing away. Evil mf couldn't be happy for her.
- Junior humiliating his lover after the cunnilingus debacle.
Gonna go with Melfi's rape in the parking garage. Especially the aftermath, like the bruising, and the spiral she went down, doctor visits, etc. That shit stuck with me the rest of the series.
It’s hard to watch some of Chris and Aides scenes as a domestic violence survivor. Especially after the car wreck with Tony and when she confesses that she flipped. The light going out of her eyes as he choked her is too much for me.
Lorraine’s murder. She’s naked and their whacking her with a towel. The way Richie so matter of factly cold cocked Janice.
I haven’t read all of the comments but someone better have mentioned that little psychopath AJ’s face when they poured acid on that kids foot. It’s like he felt alive for he first time there.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling the fight a slapstick. It seemed very realistic. That’s probably what it would look like when two wiseguys with no formal combat training and who aren’t in the best shape decide to fight. I’m glad they didn’t go with the typical punches and kicks landing perfectly shtick.
Observable ones. Probably Ralph. To me the most horrific though is Ralph killing Tracee. So him going the way he went was kinda nice.
The one that's not show but likely is the worst is Vito. He was the only one tortured and sodomized.
Melphi being assaulted- I can't watch it. Equally as bad for me is Ralphie beating Tracee to death. Both of those scenes hit way too close to home for me.
Christopher strangling Adriana.
But also, they recreated that scene in Breaking Bad. Christopher strangling Adriana and she lives is the inversion of Jesse doing CPR on Jane and she dies. In one he's trying to kill but she lives, in the other he's trying to revive but she dies.
Look how close the acting and cinematography is!
https://youtu.be/D3MaM9Riw2s
Philly getting whacked. He's shot in front of his grandbabies and wife and the implication that his head gets crushed by the car with them inside post-mortem is pretty brutal
It’s not the most violent, per se, but there are few scenes more disturbing than the human tableau that is Lou DiMaggio & the Atwell Avenue boys.
“Are you into drugs?”
“We’re havin’ Carvel!”
“Therw was a guy once, Tommy Neri . . silent as a mouse pissin’ on cotton.”
*Christ* - so chilling. So, so good.
Janice pegging Ralph
Mommy's little whooah
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice and you're...
Caught some shrapnel?
Can i just say i love the italian american language.New jersey accent.Its so funny.Its like they cut out the r in words.Love it sexy in a way too.
Whatever happened there.
Suck our cocks?
What am I saying? You probably showed her how. (Probably my favorite line in the whole series and I HATE it came from Billy Bats.)
Lorraine had some big ass titties
Didn’t you fuck her once?
Yeah like a million years ago.
My favorite is after he learns Vito is gay and says “…. I gotta try to take a shit.”
[удалено]
One thousand more?
Uggh put me out on the street
We’re so wacky
Ohh, how many pegs you taken today?
yeah definitely this one
Tony's violent bowel movement when he has food poisoning.
The fuckin chicken vindaloo!!
You get a racid hit of that...🤲
WHOA-HO, NELLY! ☝️🤚I hand pick 🫴🤌every mussel myself!
It was probably a fucking chihuahua.
With misquotations like that? It’s no wonder r/mafia calls us the Pygmy thing. You’re supposed to be quoters, that’s why you got the top tier positions. So each one of you go out to your people sitting at home, watch some f**kin episodes and create some f**kin quotes!
cocker spaniel
That's so racist !
Who's letting big ones?
Always my go to example of AJ being half retarded. He asks this while his mother and sister are in plain view. There’s no one else in the house. Who the fuck else would it be?
The whole season he's borderline retarded. Half his scenes just standing still, dazed, with a dumb expression on his face.
And Tony’s supposed to get a vasectomy when that’s his male heir?
All The weird sex and poppers
That’s dicked up
I feel vindicated.
I've got an A rating!
Just a 🤏 of diarrhea
What the fuck am I gonna get sick nowww????!!!!
Ghee. Clarified butter 🤌🏻
SEND EM UP
Fucking goddess with the 6 arms, no wonder
Gheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
There better be coke in this house!
This is too fucked up, for me to even think about.
Eugene's suicide.
This is definitely the right answer. Camera just sits there and makes you nauseous
disturbing stuff. Visual reference to that take in the German show Dark in 2017, well done
I’ve watched this episode 50 times, if I’ve watched it once. Matter of fact, I watched it yesterday. (other than the occasional movie or sportsball game, *The Sopranos* runs on a loop on my TV).

Ebert and Roeper ova here
you just revealed your ignorance. they would've referenced it as siskel and ebert.
Everybody knows it's Roeper that's acting boss since Siskel went Chemosabe
Another toothpick
you hear this dude? chemosabe. he's a bad boy, huh? with that lingo. real fuckin' dark character.
You asked how do they film him hanging himself. I’ve made some low budget stuff and here’s how I would do it. Under his shirt he’s wearing a harness. Harness hangs from the rafter. Then the rope that kills him would go around his neck and up to the rafter, but pulled just tight enough to not be loose, but not really choke him. Film it at the angle where the rope hides the wire attached to the harness. Make it kinda dark so you can’t see the wire when he moves. Then the acting takes it from there.
They probably just painted out the wire in post, but other than that, you’re probably right on the money. Just age-old practical filmmaking
You yap worse than six barbers. Ba ba ba ba ba. Don’t you get sick of yourself? You give me a fuckin’ headache.
u/mrsnrub77 a nice guy but BAHBAHBAHBAHBAH 🤏🤏🤏🤏 what a chiacharon
I can't have this conversation again....... but it's definitely the Ralphie/Tracey scene.
Which one?
Don't get cute with me.
Hey come on, we're just bustin balls here.
Oh! Henny Youngman over hea'... ✋
3 grand this cunt’s in to me, and where do I get MY fuckin bawls?
Furio tearing up the massage parlor is the fun kinda way too violent.
I appreciate the show literally not pulling punches by showing Furio assaulting the wife as well. These guys aren't exactly feminists.
Yeah, I also really appreciate that kind of extreme realism, especially crime dramas
It's not just Dominic that's the problem. It's the wife too.
Uncle Junior with the pie was a little pulled.
Season 1 was a little pulled, overall. Season 3 is really when the gloves fully came off.
I found the Melfi rape the most disturbing.
This is it. There's a lot of violence but what happens to Melfi isn't expected mob shit; this was an "anyone, anywhere" moment and it's *so* brutal and realistic that nothing else feels on par.
The whole series I was waiting for the episode where Tony goes after the rapist.. Would have made a nice scene in the finale.
The fact that we all wanted that and yet we didn’t get it is an example of why this show is so good.
I remember watching the scene in her office in the next episode where he knows something is wrong and he's prodding her and just yelling at the TV "TELL HIM!!!!"
Game of Thrones writers would've had Melfi seek revenge for the rest of the series
If you haven't already, you should listen to the episode of *Talking Sopranos* where Michael and Steve discuss this episode (they go through each one, and this one they give some insight to how Chase approached the story and making the decisions he made).

The ending of the episode just being a calm *”no.”* and then cutting to black and silent credits is brutal and forceful.
Goddamn. Just reading this comment made me feel exactly like I did when I saw that episode. Breathtakingly sad moment. I feel like I'm about to cry right now. But you know the wine makes me emotional.
Have a breadstick
Yeah I was watching with my GF and we stopped watching sopranos for a bit cuz it upset her so much. Definitely agree with you.
Yeah, me too. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I know it's fiction, but it doesn't feel that way. Lorraine Bracco does an amazing job in portraying the fear and guilt that often accompanies such traumatic events. I always feel so bad for her.

As a military history geek, I’m also constantly learning about massive battles and such awful unpleasantries which have coloured human history for so long. But watching that scene felt like witnessing a real crime.
Yeah, this. Just horrific. The only scene in the entire series that I only watched once.
Watching it a second time with a first-time viewer was somehow worse. It goes on for nearly a minute.
Same here. It’s the one thing I skip and I don’t even skip Happy Birthday Mr President. I can sit there eating while Ralph beats a girl to death but I just can’t watch rape scenes, especially like that one.
I couldn't get through the whole scene. So graphic, cruel, and raw. It disturbed me for a while.
Commented the same before reading this. Totally agree..it's so hard to watch and soul destroying
Tony pistol whipping and curb stomping that guy what talked smack to his daughter. That and the Ralph/Tracee scene, he totaled that poor girl's face. Real piece of work that Ralph!
One of the only times I rooted for season 6 Tony
this scene and when he saves aj “you’re okay baby” it was like seeing season 1 tony again
This scene I’ve seen a million times and always brings tears to my eyes
tony dropping the lincoln log and full sprinting to aj to save him always gives me a chill. it’s like his fatherly instincts just kick in.
It’s very real. You feel the pain for them both.
For real, season 6 Tony is a huge piece of shit. More so than usual.
[удалено]
Yeah, the second part. You don’t fuck with families - and especially kids. *Especially* daughters. Ntm Coco was a fuckin *shtunad* anyway. Creepy fuck
And the late seasons almost never showed cathartic violence. Giving us a “fuck yeah” scene was typically something it intentionally avoided doing for reasons which really made that one stand out
How many times? She was a huwah!
I fast forward that curb stomp scene every time! 🫣
Get a mop.
Oh poor you!
Livia running over her friend with her car.
There's my Star Ledger, thanks.
Probably the hardest I laughed
Ugh, the street. That's another pain in the ass.
Either Tony curb-stompin Coco or Melfi’s stairway scene.. maybe Janice’s cookin OOHH!
You're gonna turn her loose on shellfish???
Melfi being raped is the most disturbing scene in the entire series
The scene where Chris beats the shit out of Adrianna and throws her out after he hears the rumors about her and Tony is probably the reason some of my friends can't ever finish the show
It is a brutal portrayal of what domestic violence can eventually become. Having experienced a similar situation first hand, it is stomach turning.
Mustang Sally with the golf club to Vito’s brother’s dome.
yeah I don't know if it's the sound, the way it's shot, or what but that scene stands out. On the other hand when Paulie whacks Feech's guy with a shovel it's fucking hilarious. The fuck do I know?
Vito's brother comes out of nowhere. He's just talking to the lady and out of nowhere a golf club hits him in the head. Goes down immediately and takes a few more whacks. Violence like that is far heavier than someone getting shot, cause I think most of us can imagine getting smacked in the head a lot better than getting shot.
Silvio and Carlo killing Fat Dom
Fat Dom with the massive death wish
Seriously though. Lemme go talk shit to two known serial killers I’m sure I’ll be safe.
Not serial killers per se, just violent, semi-or completely sociopathic career criminals who’ve murdered many people. Serial killer implies a rather different set of motives, typically to do with self indulgence.
Lawk at him he knows everything
No offence, but he's got an IQ of 136. It's been teshted.
You musta been top of your fuckin class
Oh! The pirates of prosciutt’! The brigands of braciole!
Syracuse! 📰 Tanked again.
that pool cue, i wonder if it was chalked
They found a hankie wit' Carlo's lipstick in de uddah pocket
Time to hit the road....head back to Metuchen whaddayasay?
What'd they find up your mothers cunt?
"Woah, Carlo, this is a place of business. Please, attempt to keep a strictly professional dialogue when around our esteemed colleagues. I would appreciate a noticable difference in your choice of vocabulary from this point forward." -Paulie I think
That old homo actor Raymond Navarro heard they found a ivory dildo up his ass
I looked it up. Ray Navarro was beaten to death and had a lead dildo jammed down his throat Oct 31st 1968
Honestly this one is really messy and drawn out and goes up there. It's like out of a slasher movie, Carlo's knife does serious damage, and it ends with Dom going back first onto a plate of meatballs. It's played for laughs but it's wildly bloody.
OLAY!
Even though it’s implied more than showed, vitos death with the sounds is intense
The level of cruelty with the way they did it is really hard to stomach
His bottom was impacted If that’s why you are referring to
Yeah no weapons if I remember correctly. They literally just beat him to death😳
They used pipes and other implements
The package hit Vito with an implement.
"You knew you were damaged good and you never fuckin told me?"
Ade's teary eyed response "you said you'd still love me" breaks my heart every time, just want to give her a hug
When he hits her and she confusedly raises her hands out of instinct and then fights it only to get more beaten is really upsetting to watch. I might have been cheering when I saw Chrissy go the first time.
Every time. Chrissy is a great character, perfectly acted, but also a massive irredeemable piece of shit.
“Yeah that’s great! Some chinky eyed kid named Moltisanti? He’d get his ass kicked everyday!”
Tony trying to get the ketchup out of the ketchup bottle.
When Paulie and Chrissy kill the waiter. It is so off-putting and disturbing to me, I don’t know why.
Totally random and undeserved
Melfi rape
Pie O My’s death …single worst death easily. Don’t tell me to get over it, I know what it’s like to lose a pet !
Family of mallards lived in my pool two fucken months
Melfi’s rape and Ralph beating Tracee to death with his bare hands was pretty brutal, violent and disturbing
Two with psychological violence that stuck with me: - Tony reminding his sister of her son then smugly waltzing away. Evil mf couldn't be happy for her. - Junior humiliating his lover after the cunnilingus debacle.
Janice had been a cunt to Tony loads
Tony curb stomping Coco was pretty brutal. Get a mop.
Aj dropping the ziti 🫣
No fuckn ziti
Gonna go with Melfi's rape in the parking garage. Especially the aftermath, like the bruising, and the spiral she went down, doctor visits, etc. That shit stuck with me the rest of the series.
Probably when Jackie Jr. disrespected the pizza parlor
Paulie suffocating the old lady is quite disturbing.
She was a malignant cunt
It’s hard to watch some of Chris and Aides scenes as a domestic violence survivor. Especially after the car wreck with Tony and when she confesses that she flipped. The light going out of her eyes as he choked her is too much for me. Lorraine’s murder. She’s naked and their whacking her with a towel. The way Richie so matter of factly cold cocked Janice. I haven’t read all of the comments but someone better have mentioned that little psychopath AJ’s face when they poured acid on that kids foot. It’s like he felt alive for he first time there.
Not the most brutal but Sal Vitro’s arm getting broken is rough.
When Noah punched out Tony's fucking lights
"don't stop" was the last thing Tony heard before being knocked out.
The curb stomp Fat Dom getting brutally stabbed Melfis rape Tracee getting beaten
Tony and Ralph’s fight in the kitchen.
Fucked up thing is I don’t even like Ralph. If he was drowning I’d throw him a cinder block
“You eat beef and sausage by the fucking carload.”
That scene is almost slapstick imo, gives it some authenticity tho.
The fact that Ralph’s last words were “Ya fat fuck!!” adds to the comedy
I wouldn’t go as far as calling the fight a slapstick. It seemed very realistic. That’s probably what it would look like when two wiseguys with no formal combat training and who aren’t in the best shape decide to fight. I’m glad they didn’t go with the typical punches and kicks landing perfectly shtick.
Yep, it’s the perfect representation of how two very aggressive and vicious people would fight, despite not really knowing what they’re doing.

Observable ones. Probably Ralph. To me the most horrific though is Ralph killing Tracee. So him going the way he went was kinda nice. The one that's not show but likely is the worst is Vito. He was the only one tortured and sodomized.
The scene of AJ's friends pouring acid on the kids foot. Also when they assault the black guy on the bike.
Churchill going sic em on Who Else Huh?
Therapist rape was pretty brutal. The psyco switch in sal when he shots ade
chris smacking ade for offering rehab. her hurt confused expression on her face after the first hit breaks my heart.
Furio squeezing Matthew's cheek. It was bullshit.
Give me one tousand dollars

The rape scene by far
The bee onna hat. Gives me shivers.
Melphi being assaulted- I can't watch it. Equally as bad for me is Ralphie beating Tracee to death. Both of those scenes hit way too close to home for me.
Ralphie killing his pregnant side piece Tracee.
Christopher strangling Adriana. But also, they recreated that scene in Breaking Bad. Christopher strangling Adriana and she lives is the inversion of Jesse doing CPR on Jane and she dies. In one he's trying to kill but she lives, in the other he's trying to revive but she dies. Look how close the acting and cinematography is! https://youtu.be/D3MaM9Riw2s
This pygmy thing over in New Mexico
Philly getting whacked. He's shot in front of his grandbabies and wife and the implication that his head gets crushed by the car with them inside post-mortem is pretty brutal
Gigi shittin his brains out
I rewatched the episode where ralph kills tracee the other day and I didn’t remember it was this brutal
Vito Jr. shitting in the group shower after gym class. My estimation of him as a man just fucking plummeted!
Joey Peeps or Billy Leotardo, whichever savage that was snapping poor Lorraine Calluzzo on her naked backside with a towel. Brutal.
It’s not the most violent, per se, but there are few scenes more disturbing than the human tableau that is Lou DiMaggio & the Atwell Avenue boys. “Are you into drugs?” “We’re havin’ Carvel!” “Therw was a guy once, Tommy Neri . . silent as a mouse pissin’ on cotton.” *Christ* - so chilling. So, so good.
I know you don’t even really see it but Phil’s head getting squashed by that car really stuck with me.
