  • Conflict of interest

    10
    "Perfect"
    By JarrodMcDonald, Jun 03, 2010
    A conflict of interest is faced by Rossi and his editors. A story Rossi is working on includes the fact that Mrs. Pynchon's husband was involved in some underhanded business dealings against Japanese Americans. Charlie and Lou kill the story to protect their boss whom they believe is still ailing after her stroke. Meanwhile, we get a lot of background on the relocation of Japanese Americans during the second world war. Pat Morita is a guest star in his pre-Karate Kid days. Probably the best moment is the scene where Rossi informs Margaret about her husband's past business schemes. We are supposed to think that she may have another stroke, and while she doesn't, the tension in the scene and several that follow make for an interesting episode.moreless

    • Ken Watanabe: Practically the entire Japanese community figures internment was wrong and unnecessary, but you're going to find a lot of others who find taking money for what they went through, is adding one disgrace to another.

    • Mrs. Pynchon: I can handle Mr. Rossi with my brace on my leg and one hand tied behind my back.

    • Adam: You play the ponies just like you play the stock market. Lou: Blue chips? The horse and jockey with the best combined record? Adam: Is that how you play the market? Lou: I don't play the market. I thought that's what you meant. Adam: No, no. You look for a jockey or horse with one or more of the letter X and then you lay a heavy bet. Lou: Thanks a lot, Adam! Adam: Hey, it worked with Xerox.

    • Mrs. Pynchon: Swollen hands and dragging feet. It sounds like a Fats Waller lyric. Jazz pianist and singer Fats Waller (1904-1943) was famous for songs with unusual titles such as "Your Feet's Too Big" and "All That Meat And No Potatoes".
