I just thought of a question. In the last episode of the first season of Atlantic Empire, when Mrs. Schroeder licked her face and went back to find Nucky, the conversation between the two was very interesting. Nucky first asked how the children were, and Mrs. Schroeder answered. They miss their uncle Nucky. First of all, Nucky speaks first is a good way to relieve embarrassment. After all, Mrs. Schroeder came back to him with licking her face. It can be said that it is a kind of etiquette to let the woman speak first. The gentleman's demeanor on the bar. The question asked is also very clever. I know how to ask how the children are, but in fact, I want to ask how Mrs. Schroeder is, and Mrs. Schroeder's answer is also very cooperative. In fact, she is talking about herself. Therefore, this question and answer, on the surface, is talking about the children, but in fact it is really talking about themselves. So you may be wondering why the two of them reconciled after this question and answer. If you don't know what the two are really talking about, it's really confusing. Maybe this is the art of talking, and the adult world has a lot to learn.

There is also the matter of Mrs. Schroeder's virgin bitch. In fact, this matter is really not about feminism. Whether Mrs. Schroeder is a bitch has nothing to do with sexism, she's a bitch, no doubt about that. So where is the problem? That is actually Nucky and Mrs. Schroeder are the same kind of people, why do I say that, Nucky and Jimmy have two dialogues to illustrate this situation, Nucky is actually no different from the female bitch in essence, he is not willing to admit it His own dirty deeds, he is actually a gangster behind his back, but he rarely admits it on the surface, even in front of Jimmy, he is reluctant to admit it, which shows that in his heart, he is resisting his own kind of gangster. identity. He asked Jimmy to kill, but he didn't want to say it himself, but in fact, everyone knew that Jimmy couldn't stand Nucky's hypocrisy and wanted to force him to admit his identity. So you see Mrs. Schroeder and Nucky themselves are the same kind of people, and I guess that's why the two of them came together. So why is it said that the two of them are a perfect match, one pretending to be pure and unwilling to admit his mistress's identity, and the other pretending to be noble and unwilling to admit his gangster identity. In fact, there are two hints in the first season of Nucky's hypocrisy. It's a pity that most people don't notice it, or don't think it can be compared with Mrs. Schroeder. There are too many places to embody Mrs. Schroeder's bitch, so it's easy to remember that it's a sense of she's a bitch, and ignoring the hypocritical attention to Nucky leads to so-called sexism . In addition, Nucky is the male protagonist, and he has his own protagonist halo. In fact, it is necessary to add a bit of sexism. Even if both of them are the attributes of a virgin bitch, society will always blame women, and it is a pity that women can use it. The virgin bitch to describe it, but the male does not have a very appropriate word to describe it, hypocrisy? I just checked it out, and there is the word sage bitch. But the application of this word does not seem to be very extensive, at least not as much as the virgin bitch, so there is still no such thing. And the word "bitch" itself is aimed at women. For romantic men, there are really no words to use, alas...

Feel like I've said a lot of bad things? But I really like this show.

Boardwalk Empire quotes

  • Lucky Luciano: You wanted to see me?

    Arnold Rothstein: Yeah, it turns out my sister-in-law's nephew, for a time at least, survived the shooting in the woods.

    Lucky Luciano: Well, I'm sorry about your loss. Obviously, if there's anything I can do...

    Arnold Rothstein: There is actually. You can kill someone for me to settle a debt. I have it on good authority that a James Darmody of Atlantic City was one of the two shooters.

    Lucky Luciano: Who was the other one?

    Arnold Rothstein: I don't know. But I'd bet you're persuasive enough to get Darmody to tell you.

    Lucky Luciano: That's a good bet.

    Arnold Rothstein: The only kind I make.

  • Arnold Rothstein: Meyer, Charlie, I believe you know Mr. Masseria.

    Lucky Luciano: Everybody knows Joe the boss.

    Arnold Rothstein: Then perhaps you also know, though it is of course news to me, that a card game you operate is located in territory that Mr. Masseria considers to be his.

    Joe Masseria: Not considers! Is mine.

    Arnold Rothstein: My thinking was, before any more blood is shed, that a compromise can be reached.

    Meyer Lansky: More blood?

    Joe Masseria: Tompkins Square Park, my two nephews?

    [imitates throat-cutting]

    Lucky Luciano: I don't know what you're talking about.

    Arnold Rothstein: Apparently two of Mr. Masseria's emissaries to your establishment were murdered shortly after their visit.

    Meyer Lansky: We do operate a game in what might be termed a grey area territorially. But as to any violence in the neighborhood...

    Joe Masseria: They stab themself, eh?

    Lucky Luciano: A coincidence then. It happens.

    Joe Masseria: On my streets, no coincidence.

    [indicates Charlie]

    Joe Masseria: This little prick, since he's 10 years old he causes problems.

    Arnold Rothstein: It seems to me you boys ought to extend a token of goodwill towards Mr. Masseria. Shall we say a one-time fee of $2,000 for the families of those gentlemen and a tax of 10% on the game going forward?

    Lucky Luciano: Hold on a fuckin' second...

    Arnold Rothstein: Charlie.

    Joe Masseria: 10% is okay. For now.

    Arnold Rothstein: Then we have an agreement?

    [shake hands]

    Joe Masseria: [in Italian] What are you doing with these Christ-killers? Come with me, I'll make you rich.

    Lucky Luciano: [in Italina] With your other hand in my pockets.

    Joe Masseria: [in Italian] I'm watching you, boy. Every fucking step.

    [Luciano stands up angrily]

    Arnold Rothstein: Charlie.

    Lucky Luciano: A.R., two grand is bad enough, but 10% of the fucking game?

    Meyer Lansky: We already pay half the take on that game to you.

    Arnold Rothstein: Yes. And now you boys know why.
