Earl: Some clients just aren't worth it, Pop... you know how hard it is to spin a massacre? Duke: We're pros, son. Suck it up. Earl: To be honest, Pop, Assad is the client from hell! He's driving his regime into a ditch! The problem is that his old man had some success with mass murder. He once wiped out a whole town of 30,000 people! So Junior, of course, thinks that's how it's done. If it worked for Dad, it should work for him! I guess that's normal. I know when I get into a jam, I usually ask myself, "what would Pop do?" Duke: Yeah, we all have our role models... ever since he funded my orphanage back in the '90s, I ask myself, "what would Newt do?" Earl: Wow... that explains a lot. Duke: Well, it lightens the load. There are so many rules that don't apply to him.
Is it just my ignorance, or is this the first time ever that Duke has been seen without a cigarette? I live in Colorado, and cigs have been banned in restaurants and bars for some time, but is this the case nationwide now?
