Methinks it could become important that the colonel threw the first punch, but of course no one would believe Mack about that--he's a "wifebeater" with a violent temper and of course "he lost control and beat up the kids." Argh.

That being said? His little speech to Tiffy was about how he'd never leave her even though she'd gotten so low was incredibly arrogant on one level--but Max played it with so much emotion in his eyes! My stomach does backflips looking at him looking like that, regardless of the words coming out of his mouth (which are Mamet and Ryan's fault anyway.) It's probably a good thing there aren't really more of him. He's much to hot to be safe. :-P *drools*
