yup...he seems to resent Al for basically fabricating his war stories so i think he really respects that guy for putting his life on the line and having been disfigured over there. he can, somewhat, relate and he probably feels bad for him. the fact that he's got him working for him now is pretty awesome. he can keep him in the shadows and have him be his own man...since he doesnt fully trust anybody at this point.

btw, i loved the phantom of the opera music at the end of that. what do you guys think of ol' girl watching dr jekil and mr hyde? think she's gonna do something crazy to Mrs Schroeder?
