All true. I infer (from the novel) that Clem's promised reward to Rocco was that he would be made after all the dust settled. That's why I found it surprising that, right after killing Paulie, he's eating Chinese food with Sonny, Clem, Tess and Michael. Pretty quick rise, don't you think? The late P. Lawrence and I used to go round and round about that. He questioned that it really was Rocco at that table--we went over the DVD frame by frame in that scene and he still wasn't convinced.
