Obviously, Papa Noodles knew he'd created a mess. He liked
Christopher best...he got the land next door. Charlie wound up in a
plywood sheathed shack in Bumler with a job "wired" for him by Papa,
since he couldn't do anything on his own! Maybe that's why Noodles
thinks he's "doing better than he thought he would!" Better than
what, Noodles? Working at Wendy's up by the CAN'T DO Business Center?
Tugs at the old heartstrings, eh? dBob shouldn't you be
working on a movie script to pitch to Hollywood?
