EPISODE 12

The men plan to pay their respects to an acquaintance who's being waked in the Bronx. Frank cajoles Fritzy into procuring flowers, but Fritzy, noting that the stiff is not quite "famiglia," pushes for a cheaper floral arrangement. Too bad, because it probably won't include those lovely birds. (4:37)
