Charlie is originally from Texas. He moved to Brooklyn to be near his girlfriend with no job, no place to live and two suitcases.

There's an exchange between Billy and Charlie later about the relationship - to pick up and move like that without even the likelihood of an engagement is pretty risky.

Billy asked if Terry was Charlie's future father-in-law, but Charlie didn't seem to be quite ready to make that commitment yet. Maybe he was just being coy.

Yes, it would, but when Billy asked him if this was a proposal Charlie backpedaled really quickly.

My thought was Machu Picchu "lies" in the Andes but tells the truth everywhere else.



Yeah, that was elwing's reaction, too.

Charlie's face reminded me of a child actor who was in a Stephen King movie, or something like that. But Charlie doesn't have an IMDB entry, under that name, at least.


Billy should have given the father-in-law jokes a rest.

Yes, it would, but when Billy asked him if this was a proposal Charlie backpedaled really quickly.

Whole lotta backpedalin' goin on today.
