One touching part of the episode - when Richard brought Tommy to his girlfriend's (Julia) house and Julia's father told her to put Tommy in his son's room (which had been off-limits before). The father, in a somber and sober moment then told Richard that "soldiers don't come home like this" (or something to that effect).
He also said he would talk to her daughter, and I didn't get what Richard said. He seemed like giving up on her the way he presented himself. I know Richard is your favorite too, so any thoughts?
Richard said something to the effect, "as long as he's OK" (meaning the boy). He didn't want Julia's father to intervene on his behalf. I think Richard felt he dishonored himself by taking part in the murders of the gangsters.
He's definitely my favorite character (followed closely by Chalky).
