I’m so glad that you do too!

I just think that they’d potentially make a good pair since, like I briefly said on the confessions page, they have always struck me as somewhat similar in a few ways. So far on the show (I definitely don’t know the real Meyer Lansky’s history enough to be talking about him), they’ve both been kind of…in the background. They’re significant characters as well as integral parts to what they do, but they’re a little quieter. They seem to prefer to watch/listen, but when they do open their mouths, people listen. Although they might do these things for different reasons, their approaches are so similar.

I like to think of Meyer/Lucky and Richard/Jimmy as somewhat similar dynamics as well. Meyer is a lot more reserved than Lucky. Lucky has the ‘big’ personality, but without Meyer being there to ground him from time to time, who knows what would happen? I see something similar with Richard and Jimmy. Richard is a lot more reserved than Jimmy, and Richard often brings Jimmy back down to earth…or at least tries to. Maybe I’ve looked into it too much or incorrectly, but this is just kind of what I see. :)

Plus…they’d just be so cute as friends! I like to picture tall, lanky Richard walking in to Babette’s or something with tiny little Meyer. I also like to picture ridiculous things like them having a little book club together where they’d meet once a week to discuss whatever book they’d chosen to read. I should probably stop now! :P
