Chris yeah, but Paulie?

Chris was an addict. An addict can be trusted to be unreliable and Chris had risen too high up to be able to be unreliable. Tony killed him here because of his close relationship with him years earlier when he promoted Chris while overlooking his numerous faults and then it got to a point where they weren't as close and Chris couldn't be saved by Tony's favoritism this time.



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
