How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
I spent the next year tracking down the Motherfuckers responsible for Michelangelo's murder. (2.4.175)
Leonard is a gangster who goes off on a revenge mission straight out of a Scorsese or Tarantino flick. And James admires him for this. What does this say about James's priorities? What is he trying to prove?
Quote #5
[Bobby] is telling a story about some Mobsters he knows in Brooklyn, claiming that he manages their money through investments in the Stock Market and they get him drugs and women and whatever else he wants. (2.4.200)
Bobby seems to be the kind of low-life criminal that Leonard is, except James looks up to Leonard and thinks Bobby is a fraud. Why do you think that is? Is it because Bobby brags about it to everyone while Leonard keeps his dealings secret and quiet?
Quote #6
Leonard is involved in Organized Crime. He's a fairly major figure in that world. He has been asked not to discuss or flaunt what he does and because he has real and serious Chemical Dependency issues, we did not turn him away. (3.1.146)
Okay, the obvious connection here is that Leonard is a criminal. But it's equally as criminal for Ken, a supervisor at the clinic, to be revealing information like this about another patient to James. It looks like rehab is full of criminals at both ends.
