Biggie"s “Kick in the Door” was playing inside the stolen Tahoe, and Chino was nodding his head appreciatively, waiting for Carl step out of the cafe. The cafe, Rick"s Cafe American, was named after a location in Casablanca. “It"s my favorite movie,” Carl had said. “You know, I"ve probably seen it a hundred times.” He"d asked Chino what movie he"d seen the most, to which Chino had answered Goodfellas.
Casablanca. Goodfellas“I go to that cafe every day,” Carl said. “And every day, I have the same thing—soup and a sandwich. And I read. Mostly mysteries. But you know what I like most? I like to flirt with the pretty girls that work there. I read my book, and then, in between chapters, I flirt with "em. I make jokes and ask "em if they wanna take an old man home. But they never do.”
