At the clubhouse, Vince Antonacci (Vincent Piazza) and Johnny The Zip (Guy Nardulli) reflect on Chickie (Domenick Lombardozzi) drunkenly admitting to killing his father.

When the waiter says it’s one of their most expensive bottles. Dwight asks that they get the most expensive bottle instead, which is worth $6,000.
