Its up against the wall for Nucky and Chalky.
Lansky sees the Promised Land.
The ground is shaking, Nucky (Steve Buscemi) can see it in his coffee cup.
That can only mean one thing: Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) is in this episode and shes close.
Rolling Stone branded Nuckys estranged wife Prissy OFrowney, and she does not disappoint her brand.
Nucky at least comes back with some unconscious passive aggression, I wouldnt put something alive in a box.
Sure, it was an awkward moment for Nucky and Margaret, but, callous me, I laughed.
too early in the morning.
It was the subway that shook the coffee, something Nucky should have picked up on before.
Its strange, the things you miss that happen right under your nose.
Nucky doesnt like missing things, especially when theyre right under his nose.
Makes him feel like hes slipping.
Hes got to check every detail.
Like his man Eddie Kessler (Anthony Laciura).
He even kept receipts.
In The North Star, we see how Meyer Lansky (Anatol Yusef) took Florida.
He really never left.
Lucianos problem is Vincenzo Petrucelli (Vincenzo Amato) and its a big deal.
A big deal he shouldnt have been making behind Masserias back.
I think this isnt going to play well in New York in general.
Id lay odds on Petrucelli to take a bad dive in the tenth against Luciano.
If this was my place Id kill myself.
Sparks has been inching toward East Side Comedy block by city block.
The transformation is complete.
Huntz Hall never got the recognition he should have as a comic actor.
Paul Sparks nurtured his Mickey Doyle from minor annoyance to major joy.
He asked for everyone watching.
Now he spits his ad hoc wisdom of the ages out of the side of his slaphappy mouth.
Theres a mystery to be solved here.
Hurdles to overcome and he knows only police work is going to get to the bottom of things.
Then you realize, Eli isnt cut out for this.
At heart, hes just a dad, who just lost a friend he didnt even know had kids.
He hasnt gotten over that Irish sentimentality his brother substituted for croc fights.
Everybody gets up against a wall.
The gangsters unholster their pistols and shoot from the hips, love and knees in the air.
Nucky and Chalky both get it on standing up tonight.
All fun and wet and nasty with a hint of barrelhouse and a bloody lip.
We watched Chalky fall in love, right there on the spot.
He forgets everything hes not getting at home.
Nucky and Sally Wheet (Patricia Arquette), though, scared me.
Sallys pretty quick with a crocodile smile.
Boardwalk Empiretakes it slow after some death.
They let scenes play out leisurely.Boardwalk Empireis brilliant traditional cinematic storytelling.
Sometimes the dialogue is brilliantly funny and telling.
Sometimes no dialogue is needed.
Paul Sagorsky (Mark Borkowsky) and Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) speak in half sentences.
They leave a lot unsaid and it speaks volumes.
Julia (Wrenn Schmidt) is subtly making up Richards mind for him.
Tommy (Brady Noon) is a seen but never heard kind of kid.
Written by Eric Overmyer and Howard Korder; directed by Allen Coulter.
