== The ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'' canon is a highly fictionalized account of Jimmy Darmody's life ==

Back in the 70s, a young [[George Lucas]] met an old man in a bar. The man began to tell him the story of his life, but he changed anything he didn't like ("...and my mother was a [[Single Mom Stripper|Single Mom Strip...]] No! ''No!'' She was a [[Southern Belle]]! And my father was a Scottish Medievallist! He looked like [[Sean Connery]]! Really!") and [[The Gump|exagerated notably]] [[Young Indiana Jones (TV)|his exploits]] in [[World War OneI|The Great War]] and his brief relation with the [[Al Capone|Chicago Outfit]]. However, when he was coming to the part when he returned to [[Joisey]], he realized it could get him in trouble and [[Ass Pull|replaced it all]] with a [[Did Not Do the Research|ridiculously inaccurate]] career as an [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] that fought [[Those Wacky Nazis]]. Lucas liked the story so much that he turned it into a movie franchise.

Eddie has [[Undying Loyalty]] to Nucky which doesn't seem at all deserved in light of any of Nucky's behavior to him on the show. There has to be a good reason for it, and it would make sense if he hired Eddie prior to [[World War OneI]] and at the time, also protected him from xenophobia. It would also be really in line with Nucky's personality for him to be quite happy to stoke anti-German xenophobia when it was in his interest- i.e. regarding Hans Schroeder.

Richard is so terse because it's painful for him just to say more than a few words. He pauses mid sentence, not out timidity or to clear his throat, but because it hurts too much to keep going. After suspecting this, I wince in sympathy every time he has to say something.
