The boys from 62 Truck decide to go out after discovering their private lives aren’t quite what they used to be. While at the Lotus, Franco becomes intrigued with a beautiful older woman who is checking him out from across the bar.

Chief Reilly comes to realize that paying for Jeanie’s care may be a bigger burden on himself than he thought and turns to a friend that’s not doing well himself for help and Sean continues to mull over whether or not to tell Tommy about him and Maggie.

Also, Tommy’s dad is celebrating his 83rd birthday with family and friends when Tommy makes a shocking discovery that will rip his family apart.

Tommy: Yep.
Tommy’s Dad: So what are ya gonna do if you win?
Tommy: Buy some cigarettes.
 
Tommy: Ya know, they have blowjob contests in those private schools. There was a hug article in New Yorker Magazine about it.
Franco: Ya, I read it Tom. Ya, I don’t know. Maybe I’m hoping my kid has a shot at winning one of those.
 
Franco: Shit Sean, there must be five million broads in this city. You gotta pick Tommy’s sister?
 
(Talking about telling Tommy about him and Maggie.)
Sean: Ya know what? I’m gonna tell Tommy what’s going on. I gotta tell him.
Franco: Ya, well, here’s your chance, Champ. Here he comes.
Tommy: Douche bag, hey, the next time i find your scott pack where my ass belongs, your gonna find my scott pack halfway up your Goddamn colon.

Colleen: It’s okay, Grandpa. Did I tell you how much Jesus loves you?
Tommy’s Dad: Ya, a couple of times. Tell Jesus to lay off, will ya? Ya know, I’m glad he loves me, but that’s how rumors get started.
 
Sheila: Here comes the cake. Happy Birth…
Tommy’s Dad: Shut your hole! I’m warning all of ya right now. Anyone comes up with that Happy Birthday bullshit, I’m dropping my pants, taking a leak on this cake, and walking the hell out of here.
Tommy: All right everyone, on three.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Tommy: I'm gonna stick this Brokeback coffee travel thing right up his Goddamn ass.

This is a reference to Brokeback Mountain, a 2005 award winning film about two homosexual cowboys in Wyoming. Since the film's debut, it has become common to see 'Brokeback' used as an adjective to describe things deemed homosexual.
 
 
Analysis
 
It was very interesting to see the ending with Tommy walking away in slow motion as the complete bad guy after using the same ending in Devil where Tommy walks away in slow motion as the hero after saving the young girl's life. This was an excellent way to show the duality in Tommy's persona.
