Bobby C. racing around, spinning donuts in that first scene?


When the guys pick up Tony in front of the cig shop. At first they don't stop, then they take off and do a screeching 180, almost take out some pedestrians. NEXT SHOT - inside the car, it's little meek Bobby C driving. WTF? That's not in his character to drive all crazy like that. The guy was afraid of everything. Joey or JJ should've been the driver.

The character of Bobby definitely arcs as the film progresses. While diminutive in comparison, he seems to hold his own early on, mouthing off and arguing with the guys. At that stage in the film, his peeling out was entirely plausible. However, as the picture continues, he sinks further into depression with the prospect of marrying his pregnant girlfriend, with nobody, including Tony, giving a *beep* about his problems.

I always got the feeling they only included Bobby C in their circle because he had a car and was a pushover.
