After watching the post episode, "two imposters" is from the rudyard kipling poem "if" about gentlemen code, and it is the poem that eddie keeps saying in german.

That's awesome.

For inquiring minds (and one of my absolute favorites):

quote:

---

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling

For figuring that out

What where Lucky and his partner (can't remember his name) talking about in there one scene together? It seemed like they owed a big debt to someone. His partner even said something about how he too is losing sleep over it. Where they just worried about the upcoming drug deal? Any idea?

quote:

---

Now wasn't the time to make the deal. Told him to hold off.

Lucky went off and did it anyway.

---

So, Lucky is been told by two people (his partner and Rostien) to not make the deal?

Lansky just tells him he's never heard of this dude thats trying to buy all this heroin off them, and that he basically doesnt feel good about it. Turns out he's never heard of him because he's with the feds.

droopy eye about to do work

He's turning into one of my favorites.

Anyone else get the feeling they needed to go out and STRAP UP for next weeks episode??? The DRIVEMAN hopes we don't get 30 mins of margaret count on a stick next week. Hopefully they just bring her back next season
