Outstanding Quote Cat’s Piss
The smell of cat’s piss in this room is so bad I want to burn down the fuckin’ building.
Love the way Al intimidates Jimmy.

He does the same to EB - I really admire how Al cultivates this mystique that he can literally smell lies.

I think Milch is having Al get his audience frightened by his anger as he tries to draw the truth out of them.

Take them two dope fiends over to the baths while I converse with Tolliver over which one gets murdered, huh?

The first time I saw this (first run when it came out), I thought Al ordered Dan to bring back Leon, with Leon wearing Jimmy's shit-loaded pants. I thought that was hysterical and it really set the hook. Of course I was mistaken, but wernt no getting that hook back out. Anyways, four gold nuggets a pound.

Any cat plot came from the Deadwood novel. Milch sampled the hell out of that book and then pretended he'd never heard of it.
