The Penguin 1x05 - Homecoming

[book--wyrm]

There is so much to unpack in just those two meals scenes, with Sofia and Sal, and Oz, Vic & Francis.

"You know, fugitives really shouldn't leave their rooms", a dry joke to a man who has fully taken control of Sofia's kitchen and is playing his music while he makes them dinner

"If you're gonna keep me cooped up in here like a goddamn POW, the least you can do is let me listen to my fucking music"

Sal's home cooked meal, made with a rare vintage wine, served in the good bowls in the kitchen of a mansion

Electricity off the generator, squatting in a condemned apartment, half cooked scrambled eggs. Is there even anything else in that pan. Jesus.

The soft, fond way Sal watches Sofia as she eats. Introducing the dish to her like a father to a child. Spooning yogurt over her bowl the way he used to for Taj. It truly feels like Sal had so much love and affection and warmth for his family, and now that there is nowhere for it to go, he ends up displacing pieces of it onto Sofia.

"Thank you sweetheart. You're a good boy," to Vic as Oz watches, wounded. Francis has so little praise and softness and compassion to offer, and now Oz can do nothing but watch as what little of it she does have goes to Vic instead

The way Sal reminisces about his loved ones, talking openly to Sofia about Nadia showing him family recipes god knows how long ago, about the way Taj liked his food before Sal went to jail. The obvious clarity of those memories, as painful as they are. Even where he seems to treat Sofia as a substitute kid, he obviously knows exactly who they are and where they stand together. What he's lost, what he has, and what he wants.

Francis' obvious mental deterioration, the delight and relief Oz shows at her being able to remember something as simple as the texture of a menu. The number of times she thinks Vic is Jack or Benny is just. Heart shattering.

"It was just gathering dust. Just like your father." "Oz got that tip from Carmine"

"Hey, you're just confused. I ain't dad, alright?"

"Taj was right." "... Taj was right."

"You don't talk about my brother. You ain't got no right."

God, just. Sal sharing a little of his grief and loss and love with Sofia, the daughter of his nemesis, while Oz locks Vic out of his family unit even as he proclaims them a team til the end. It's just him and his ma. Just them two. It drives me nuts

238- “New Year's Planning”

Beginning / Previously /Next

(( Smooth - Jerry Martin))

For easier reading, please see transcript below the cut:

J: Your place is really cozy.

W: Meaning?

J: *chuckles* No hidden meaning. I said what I said.

W: *surprised smile* Wow, thanks? *everyone laughs*

U: How long are you planning to stay?

O: We’ve got no immediate plans to move.

W: Yeah… maybe we’ll re-evaluate in a few years after we get a little more equity. *shrugs* We’ll see.

J: If I were you, I’d hold onto it and sublet. Izogie was telling us that this area is really taking off!

O: Izogie?

U & W in concert: My (Her) sister.

O: Ah!

W: I don’t know. We’ll see. It really boils down to where we want to be—

O: And what we can afford. We have a neat little nest egg, but two mortgages—

J: Ah, but see, if you sublet, the mortgage will take care of itself! Once it’s paid, the rest is in your pocket!

W: I’m not opposed. I just think it’s too early to decide.

J: Give it some thought. It might even help you to determine what to do down the road.

U: Speaking of which; we should head out to get ready.

J: Yeah. Where are we meeting again?

O: El Arbol. It’s really nice. Trust me, you’ll love it!

U: I have no doubt. Honestly, I’m just looking forward to our first child free New Year’s Eve in forever. Wait as long as you can you two! You hear me? *everyone laughs*

O: It should be fun though.

W: You guys up for a gallery opening? Dirk just invited us.

J: Are you kidding me?!

W: Apparently their New Year’s plans fell through. There’s a Taj Francis exhibit at the Cho Gallery if you want to come. I guess he’s getting a private show…

J: Hell yeah!

U: You sure the gallery’s open on New Year’s Eve?

W: *shrugs* After seeing the way he and his boys move in Sulani, I question nothing. *everyone laughs*
