Duke, the boss wants to go fishing with you on the lake.

Tony’s not called The Pick for his perceptive eye.

The boys said if you came up with the $1.5 mil they would let it go. Is that a problem for you, Duke?

Tony “The Pick” had an honourable mention yesterday.

It’s been said that “The Mob” never forgets…

Again, one of GBT’s trademarks: Characters discussing some dire or bizarre topic calmly, almost blandly. ;-)

I wonder how Earl likes the smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke that one would have found in a casino back in the 1990s.

So, in the first panel, Earl’s to Duke’s left, and in the next, he’s on Duke’s right. A bit fidgety, Earl?

Pick your friends carefully, Duke.

A hit? Humm. How much? I hear John Wick is looking for something to do. Also, I hear there is an account that would like to find Duke(something about orphanage finances).

That first frame reminds me of an old joke: What do Attila the Hun and Kermit the Frog have in common? (Will supply the answer after some more comments come in to separate it from this comment.)

’cause, you know, these guys forget stuff like that. !!!

What is the “house skim”?

Is Tony “the pick” the guy who did in Mr. Morrell?

This trip to Vegas may be a short one for Duke.

Leave the cannoli, Earl; bring the gun.

Chicago has a very long Memory.

And, they will be even More annoyed when they find out that Duke used a fake name to collect the Hit money by claiming he’d killed himself.

While he’s checking to see if you still have a price on your head, Duke – you better skedaddle!

Answer to my riddle about Attila the Hun and Kermit the Frog: They both have the same name.
