One of my favorite Christopher moments was at Johnny Sack's daughter's wedding:
Groom: "I, Eric, take you Allegra, to be my wedded wife."
Chris: "Allegra? Ain't that a cold medicine?
Paulie: "It means 'Happiness' in Italian."
Chris: "The fuck's that got to do with cold medicine?"

What I can't understand is what Dr. Krakower means by "Many patients try to find excuses for their behavior in events from childhood. That is what psychiatry has become in this country. Visit any shopping mall or ethnic pride parade to see the results." What are the results that he's talking about?

"there was no abundant intentionality in that action"
