Where they both draw weapons, you're expecting some kind of Western shootout, and then it ends rather calmly. Only reason it didn't reach higher is because it was cut short with Omar saying, "I'm listening" (or something to that effect). Still great though.

I also found Muzone's attitude towards Omar's lifestyle and Lamar's trips to the gay bars great: "your homophobia is so visceral." At the end, right before they get at Stringer, dude then mentioned something about how not going in from behind would be a change for Omar.

Right . . . and the whole "the chair recognizes" formalness of the meeting was funny.
