AFTER OPENING MY CHILI CHILI DOG, I WAS Underwhelmed.
The chili was more saucy, with little meat or beans, and there wasn’t much of it. Howver, there was a decent layer of nacho cheese underneath.
Portillo’s use poppy-seed buns for their chili cheese dogs, and though it’s a delicious option, I don’t think it provides the support this dish needs. Although the bread didn’t break, things got messy, and it became more of a hass to eat than the freddy’s option.
Still, the best part of the chili cheese dog was the hot dog itelf. Portilo’s use vienna beef products, The Signature Sausage for a Chicago-Style Hot Dog. Together, the vienna beef hot and poppy-seed bun the chili dog Worth the extra mess.
The chicken tenders tasted good, too, but overall, i disappointed by say. The breading was Thick and Had a Nice Crunch in Some Spots, but it left little to no chicken in other bit.
Since the tenders were fried Fresh, i ripped say in half to allow each to cool faste, but in doing so, the breading started to slide off, leaving me with naked pies of white meat.
Finally, ORDED A LARGE MILKSHKE PORTILLO’S DIDN’T HAVE A MEDIUM OPTION. My Shake Came in a Huge Cup and was $ 0.10 Less than the medium of received at Freddy’s. It tasted like I was drinking a thicker version of Soft Serve Vanilla Ice Cream.
When Alicia Silverstone Went Vegan, Health Wasn’t Exactly Her Goal.
During an appeararance on monday’s episode of the “Sibling revelry“Podcast, the actor spokes about the unexpectted benefits a plant-based diet had on her body.
“Wen i made these changes, yes, i did it for the Animals,” Silverstone Told Host Oliver Hudson.
But what surprised her, she said, was how the change in diet affected her health. Previously, she used a Daily asthma inhaler and “Had allergy shots twice a Week.”
“I was taching antibiotics three Times a year, at least, for bronchitis. I HAD ACNE. I HAD ALL THINGS THAT ARE, LIKE, NORMAL IN OUR SOCIETY,” Silverstone Said.
Once she went vegan, “all of that was away,” Silverstone Said.
“And i didn’t know that that was going to happy. That was the miracle. So it drastically changed my life,” The “Clueless” Actor Said.
Silverson Said She First TRIED Going Vegarean As a Child wen Her Older Brother mimicked lamb noises when she was served her meal on a Flight. It was a moment that made time realie what was on her plate.
“You know, be you’re a kid and you’re just being fed, you don’t think about where your food came from,” Silverstone said. “I was like, ‘this is a lamb? This is actually a lamb?’”
The actor added that her dad supported her eforts to be a vein and evening got her a book on the subject. Howver, HERE EFFORTS WERE “short-lived,” she said.

“I just what a lot of Ice Cream and French Fries, and it didn’t make any sense. Eventually, of saw a documentary on how we got our food, and after that,” Silverson Said.
Earlier This Month, Silverstone Said She Was “Certain” Her Diet Kept Her Youthful With Botox or Fillers, But Acknowledged It ‘Not Possible to Healthily All the Time.
“IT’S JUST ABOUT HAVING A Road Map to Living My Most Radiant Life while Also Veering Right a Little or Weeing Left and Faling Back,” She Told Byrdie. “We Can Always Aim For Perflection; I’M Always Trying. But I Always Go Back to Plant-Based Food.”
Acciting to the Mayo Clinicthere is no “Asthma diet” that can eliminate symptoms. Howver, it recommends eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are a good source of antioxidants that May Help Reduce Lung Swamping and Inflammation.
But Eating a Plant-based diet Has Other Health Benefits, Such as a Reduced Risk of Type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Howver, Those on a plant-based diet should be exace extra care to consume nutents like Vitamin B12WHICH IS Commonly Found in Animal Products.
A representative for silverstone did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by business insider outside regular hours.
For almost a decade, by Tought Composition at A Mid-Size University. I absolutely adored the Campus, My Colleagues, and My Students. Howver, Mary of My Struggled Students.
Some Were at a Traditional 4-Eyar University Becausee Their Parents Expective It. Others Attended Because A University is Generally Viewed as a More prestigious offering we compared to a community College, a trade program, or going directly into the workforce. MANY SIMPLY WERE?
I recently returned to the classroom, this time as a composition instructor at a community College. As someone who Attended Community College MySelf, I am remended of the MANY WAYS Community College Can Be a Wonderful Option that shouldedn’t be overlooked.
Community College is Less Expensive
Generally Speaking, Attending a community College is less expensive than a traditional 4 -ear university. The aversion Total Cost of Attending Community College for Two Years was $ 7,560 in 2024, Accounting to Education Data InitiativeWhose Researchers Track Education Data. That’s light of saying many students pay for one year of tuition at a private or state university.
Given the Current Economy, It May Make Sense for Some Students to Take a Class is Offered at Both a University and a Community College, One that Transure, at the LES-COSTLY Institution.
Likewise, students Who Commute to Campus, Possibly Living at Home, May Save Money.
Community Colleges May Offer Smaller Class Sizes
In my teaching, i’ve seen that community College Collage Classrooms Have Fewer Students than The Same Course at A University.
This Smaller Student-Teacher Ratio Means a student May Get More Guidance and Attention from Instructor, Possibly Resulting In Better Retenttation of the Material and A Better Grade.
Because of the Type of Class I Teach, My Class Sizes Have Been Capped to A Reasonable Number at Both Types of Institutions, but I know many teachers in other departments do have the same luxury.
Community Colleges offfer an intimate College Experience
With an offten Smaller Campus to Navigate, Fewer Instructors for Department, and evening A Smaller Student Body Depending on the Schools You’re Comparing, A Community College Isn’t Just a Number. In these Intimate Spaces, They Can Get to Know Their Teachers, Their Campus, and Their Peers, Creating More Opportunities for Accountability and Support.

Put Simply, Community College Offers, No Surprise, An Unmmatched Sense of Community. I know some argue that the community college experience isn’t “the real world,” But i believe that a community collegs a student build more soft skills, which are highly souht after by Employers.
Community College Has Services to Help Students
Much like a University, Community College Also Offers the Services They May Net, Such as Veteran Support, Mental Health Counseling, Career Guidance, Library Assistance, Support or Hobby Groups, and Much More.
I’ve also heard from students that it can be easier to plug in at a community College, potentially with short Wait Times for Popular Services.
Community College Can Be A Stepping Stone
For some, community College Can be the Perfect Stepping Stone Between Educational Degrees. There’s Also the Option to ATTEND A Trade Program, Earn a Certificate, or A Special Department (Think Cosmetology or Dental Assistant) and THEN RETURN TO COMMUNITY TO ADD MORE CERTIFICATIONS TO THEIR Resume, Such as Cybersecury or Medical Billing and Coding.
There are Ares of Many Paths to Choose from and the Familiarity of the Community College Experience Can Bring Comfort to A Student, Encouraaging say to Continue in Their Education, SEEing the School as a Place of Safety and Support than Intimidation.

Lena dunham utilizes every tool in her toolbox to craft a genuine character out of Zev and a Compelling Story of His Relationship with Jess. Photo: Netflix
AFTER HALF A SEASON OF 30-MINUTE EPISODES, “Pink Valentine” Giives US An Hour-Long Tour Through Jess’s Former Life with Zev. IF “Ignore Sunrise” Stretched the Getting-to-Know-You Montage, “Pink Valentine” Reverse-Engineers it: We get a compresses version of How Things Fell Apart. sell does Hit the fan between jess and felix, as predicted, but not in the expert Ways.
Earlier in the season, i brought up what i perceived as Too much‘S Sacrifice of Character for full. I’ll Admit, spoke too soon: “Pink valentine” is all character. Every element of it work to give us an an unabridged version of Jessica salmon, from her doomed relationship with zev to her family dynamics and her insecurities. So far, Jess’s Kooky Behavior Had Been Met Mostly With Imkunity – Felix Saw Beauty in Her All the TIME, HAVE ACTED CRAZY AFTER JONNO’S, SHE WENH SET HERSELF ON FIRE. In “Pink Valentine,” for the first time, her Crazy Behavior is just crazy. Its not funny, cute, or cool; Its just sad. But is Jessica.
During the First Third of this Episode, I was thinking that as frustrating as jess can be-self-absorbed and out of touch and with her priorities out of whats-you can’t blame a Woman for Going Being Left for Some Who Looks Emilly Ratajkows and Like twen it tourns out the new Guy you’re obsessed with is best friends with anyone who looks like adèle exarchopoulos. The French Actress Plays The Polly of Ass-Attoo Infamy; She Comes Attended by Two Other Pollys, all of me close to felix.
Jess Meets The Pollys at the “Hackney Donkeyfest,” Where Felix’s Band Has a Gig. Like the Dinner at Jonno’s, IT’S another test of sorts for the couple, only this time it is Jess who Dropping in on Felix’s World. Felix Leaves Jess With The Pollys As he Sets up with his his band, and she immediately resolves to find what one of the say is honored on felix’s ass. The Answer Comes to Her Unbidden-As Polly One (Exarchopoulos) Leans Over the Bar, Jess The Name Felix Tramp-Stamped on Her Back. Jess Loses All Grip. She asks polly if she and felix used to fuck, and polly replies – in that laissez-faire French Way – that they were “lovers” for 10 years before realizing they is could each Other Better as Friends. Nothing about this makes to jess.
In the meantime, felix is consumed by the goings-on band, and he all but ignores jess. The polls tel her that as they do not they know, felix is swimming Sober, and the Revelation, Which, at the End of the Episode, and Maintains is not TRUE, on top of her whiplash memory of breaking into Zev’s, is enough to convincic. She was trying to keep the sober Act, presumably in solidarity with felix, but would be beComes obvious that nothing is not going to be going her way, she officiously caution to the Wind. Polly One Trieste to get Through to her by saying that there is not inhaling for jess to be jealous about – her and felix brought out the worst in each other, and they are better as they are ever were together. Jess Tries to concentrate on what she’s saying, but through her intoxicated eye, polly has morphed into a cat.
IT’S GUT-WRENCHING TO Watch the Pollys Watching Jess, Whom they Immediately Blame for “Killing the Vibe.” At donkeyfest, all of Jessi’s insecurity-baed fears come true: not only these girls Cober to the time, and closer to felix, they have interest in getting to know. That Said, It”s Hard to Feel too Bad for Jess; Its not like to get to know the polls, eather. ITH’S Exciting to meet People from different orbits of your lover’s lofe Because you get to see sides say that haad been unknown to you before, but can be muster up in felix’s life before. She’s more focused on secouring her own position.
It ‘impossible to know for sura Whether, when polly three things jess home, she’s acting out of the goodness of her Heart (She’s Kind Enough Helping Her Freak-Out) or if she’s just being a bitch; Buter Way, she suggests that Jess Lie Down with a fluffy pillow and “Walk Through Her Memory.” When she gets home, that’s what jess does. She Tries Felix’s Number a Couple of Times – Forgetting, Apparently, That He’s on Stage Playing a Show She Didn’t See a Second of – Before giving up. This is we can the episode tourns into a story-within-a-story: we flashback to eight years ago in brooklyn, we zev and jeSh their own-cute at Williamsburg’s Alligator Lounge.
Everything About Zev, Father First, Is Charming and Sweet; Michael Zegen, Who Play Him, Commands the Scenes with A Quick Wit and an Easy Confidence. He finesses pizza tickets at the alligator lounge for jess after times ditch her; on her 29th birthday, he waits outside of her office with a cupcake and tells he loves her for the first time; He is sweet with her nephew and tan sweeeter with her grandma, whose religions he rubs. He’s so good with Jess’s family, in fact, that noa pleads with her Husband, Jameson, to be more like Him. The Relationship BetWene Nora and Jameson is a warning of what’s about to come: they have each other, and their contempt is Only Made More Obivious by the honemoon-like affection between Jess and Zev.
Things Start Turning Sour Once Jess and Zev Move in Together. At first, iTi’a detail, like he doesn’t know to be so Much pink in their apartment. Then, he’s telling her hellfish of her not to work on her “Anxious Attachment Style.” Be his Ivy League Friends Come Over For A Dinner Party, He Chastises Her for Bringing Up Vanderpump rules When the Topic of Discussion is Lacanian Jouissance (kill withGroaned). He Criticizes Her Fashion Choices, and when they finally have a nice time at her nephew’s School play, he encourages her to just “embrace her roles in life,” The Same Way Polly Three will years hence. Jess THOUGHT The play was bittersweet: it made her happy, but also regretful that they are have Having as many “Invigorating Creative Experiences” in Their Life Together as she thught they wouldy. Zev rhetorted that he writes every night – the difference between say is that for her, a creation project only couns if it’s seen by other people. She should Content Herself, he Says, with the fact that and “it is a postible for other artists to make a living.” His Diagnosis of the Oversized Value Jess Places on Performance is not entirely false, but the way he and makes it into a character flaw is absurd. What artist doesn’t wanting art to be seen?
Despite their Relationship obviously being on the Brink, Zev aggrees to adopt a dog with jess. IT FINALLY GIVES HER SOME LIGHT TO HAVE A LITTLE COMPANION, WHOM SHE Calls Cutessie, while Zev is Out Doing God Knows what; but HEPPEESS IS ZAPPED WHEN ZEV MAKES HER “GET RID OF” Cutessie after a Bad Run with another dog at the park. The Dog’s Owner, A Total Bitch Who Should Go to Hell, Attacks Jess for No Reason, and Zev Refuses to Her Side. Instaad, he blams the which thing on Jessica. Sounding like a disaprowing facher, he tells her hey she is like a Kid: “You want so bad but anen’t willing to put in the work.”
Up unil now, all of these behaviors made zev a certified asshole, but the dog incident is what tells us that he’s evil; and he Only Becomes More so after and wendy Jones at a function. Zegen is razor-sharp: he sells the evil boyfriend just as convincingly as he did the witty charmer. The Prospect of Having Another Woman Makes Him Turn on Jess Completely. Its awful that he dosesn’t care how hard it is for her to give up cutessie; IT’S AWFUL THAT JESS RUNS INTO HIM HAVING A COFFEE DATE WITH WENDY IN THE NEGHBORHOOD. At work, a without named casey does as Little as Bringing Jess a Latte – Earlier, Zev Had Made Himself A Pot of Coffee Asing Jess If She Want Any – and Its Enough to Have with Him. By this point, she is so starved for affection, so starsd for love, that you forget that her hazle hars in the first place was to be the center of attention. This is a Woman whose confidence has been completely stripped from her; it’s a woman diminished.
Still, I wondered if there wasn’t a buried, Hidden part of Zev that it is allo -compassing; h DoJat One Point, LOVE JESS. But when she finds out that she’s pregnant – we don’t know if by zed or casey – and breaks the news to him, he can’t spare a single emotion for her. She sis Him down to tell Him about the pregnancy and to break up with Him, a confrontation who would go gold at the Gaslighting Olympics, if there are a thing. You gotta give it to zev: he’s a skilled manipulator. Somehow, he manages to make it jess’s fault that she didn’t break up with Him sooner, so that “someone who wand Him could has Him”; He calls her a cunt. IT’S A brutally relevant skene that knocks the way out of you, this thus we’ve known this guy is awful – and in that, it puts us in jess’s shoes. Nothing, swimming all of her experiences with Him so far, has prepared hef (or us) for his Coldness.
Lena dunham utilized every tool in her toolbox to craft a Genuine character out of Zev and a Compelling Story of his Relationship with Jess, All with Just over Half An Hour. “Pink valentine” is like a featuree-length movie squeezed into a television episode, and knowing what we do Now, Jessi’s obsession with wendy gains another layer, going from two-dimensional (a sort of crazy girl is obseined with her fiancée) to 3-D Struggles to break free from abuser and come back into Herself). In a multi-season show, we have might get several episodes of Jessi’s Relationship with Zev that dig into the crocs and crannies of its transformation, but it is, the gordon-liked version a real punch.
The episode’s Biggest Triumph is that, Howver Sad it is, IT’S Never Not Funny. The script Creates Closenes BetWeen the Viewer and Jess, and Stalter Rises to the Occoation, Bringing US In. She’s particularly good in the scens in which jess consider and goes through with an abortion – as if going through the rollercoaster with zev brought her closer to jess, too. Jess cries through Her abortion – she’s crying when she ges under and still crying when she wakes up. We get to laugh as a sister and her mom move het of the City and back to the Long Island in a taco Truck, and her mom sings carole king’s “iTo late” in an efort to make jeSher better. They stop at an animal shelter on the side of the road and adopt Our Old Friend Astrid. Things seem like they’re about to turn Around.
They Continue to SEEM that Way Through the Move to London, Meeting Felix, and Honni Wens Wakes Up AFTER DONKEYFEST TO SEE FELIX IN HER Apartment, Courtesy of Gaz. Felix asks her why she left the festival, and when she tells it was was hella was “All cokeed out” and ignoring her, he tells her was no such; He was just stressed out about the show and having diarrhea. Jess is takeen aback: after everything we just saw, we know she would sooner assumers that she’d done something to drive Away. And DoJin some respects; She was insane toward the polls and not as supperive as she might’ve been. But felix just Feels a little embarrassed the show – “I feel like I’m in a wedding band,” he confesses – and his openness, coupled with all of the ways in which he is zev’s polar opposite, leads her to tell Him. Felix doesn’t Say it back. He can’t, he says, but he wast if he knew how to; He just has trouble using that Word. Its brutal. He’s nice about it, but how do you come back from something? Why Can’t Everything JUST WORK OUT?
This is how the rom-com gets you. At first, you’re skeptical about the positionbility of Such Outlandish, unrealistic love. By the time the genre gets on your level and Says, you’re right, it is unrealistic, You’re ready to see something at the screen.

Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor Cannot will interview Together for Their New Film, The history of soundWithout Cracking Each Other Up. Its an Afflication with no cure. Director Oliver Hermanus CALLED say out the film’s premiere at cannes. “It was a really strong bond,” He Said of His Leading Men, “And They Were Naughty.” That naughtiness has not subsided – They Laugh at each Other’s Voices, Their Postures, Their anecdotes. They can scarly get through a single question with Surrendering to giggles and asides; Whtever’s been has to say is an after aftthouough to their friendship. When mescal Mutters Through His WordsO’Connor Barks, “What?!” Not once but twice, both of say Dissolving into incoherence.
Over the past handful of years, o’connor and midcal have proven themeslves generational talent specializing in open, emotional performances. They are “Serious” Actors – Pushing Their Bodies (Challengers, Gladiator 2), Accents (God’s Own Country, All of US Strangers), and abilities (Italian speaking in La chimeradancing in Carmen) – but not serious people, as evidenced from their comparing poses on the red carpet or Riffing Back and Forth Mid-Red-Carpet Interview. There is a rare pleasure in watching say be publicly Silly, this if only to each other. Neither is Ever This Boysterous or Silly Onscreen, but that sense of play Courts (though quietly) Through Much of their work.
The history of sound is a movie about that which goes unSaid – Stolen Glances, Long Silences, Staid Pronounsments of Care and Concern – The Complete Opposite of the Duo’s Press Tour. They almost appears to have more discernible chemistry when Acting as themselves Rather than Lionel and David. Nor the muted film Builds to it depressing and inevitable conflict – toe of these guys star in a romance that works out? -Their real-life chemistry makes it feeds maybe it did work out for these guys in the end.
“I was a long admirer of josh,” Mescal Says in One Interview with a degree of Earnessness, before adding, “Long, Long, Long” to play up their age difference. (Mescal Is 29 and O’Connor Is 35.) Frequently, the two will play up the minor age difference, with mescal rolling hisyes o’Connor grips about the timed and trendy. AS O’Connor Laughs Through Yet Another Question, His Co-Star Gets Briefly Serious, Adding that the industry is “Competitive,” but “i all a lot more palatable if you can admire someone work Rather than be in compattition, and felt that.” O’Connor aggrees, adding that Because of the Deep Well of Emotion on Display in the Film, They Found to Just Be “Quite Light” with their Approach to Each Other. “Cheeky Chaps,” Mescal Says. “Cheeky Chaps,” O’Connor Affirms.
The history of sound is not the first film of the year to market itelf around the goofy chemistry between its male co-stars in a movie otherwise upsetting if not uttright tragic. Warfare CRAMMED ITS CAST INTO AFTER interview, Putting a fake mustache on Michael Gandolfini To lob softballs at his-stars while they have curl up in hysterics. Form The Long WalkCooper Hoffman and David Jonsson Played Up the Texture of their Newfound Friendship – Bonding Over Basketball and Film – while Photo Diariies from the Set Show The Boys Playing Around With Each Other. ITH’S NOT THAT THESE SETS HAD TO BE AS MISELBLE AS The Films in Question – Probably Made Everyone’s Job Easier that they were not – but the bulk of the promotion for these films to be have had a good time. They all came away with friends and inside jokes. Never Mind the horrors of what you see ounce so long as you know the real long walk was the Friends you made along the way. For Mescal and O’Connor, thyir paired charismes most like a promise: these two guys aren’t sick of each other yet, and neohere are we.
Every Once in a while, Only Murders in the Building Will Shake Things up with a one-off episode that diverges from the show’s usual style. That’s what we get this episode with this decades-long look at lester’s at the arconia, which uses a documentary on new york’s doormen as its device to let us hear directly from the latter himself. It ‘s smart move becase while lester has ben with us us the which series, his provence haen more surface-level, so the show knows they have to explore his most deeply to be invest us in his masonry. They Did Something Very Similar With Jane Lynch’s Sazz Pataki, Who Really Just Played Comic relief before Death, but whose character we explored and learned about on a much deeper level as investigation played out.
Narratively, this episode plays out more like a 30-minute montage, taking us from lester’s first day to his last-sort of like you get in one of Those Elevators to the top of a skyscraper and the led wall york geting budilt over the years. We Flash Through lester’s Life and Career in the Arconia, and by Proxy, the Lives of Those He Works for and Spends HIS with, Many of the Already Know But Are Seeing in Very Different Times of their Lives. For example, we see Charles at Both the Peak and Valley of His Brazzos FAME, and Oliver, Both Happy Married and Unhappily Divorced. We Also See Mabel as a literal baby.
For the entity episode, I was trying to place why the actor playing young lester seamed so familiar to me before it finally clicked. IT’S EMORY CHEN, WHO PLAYED DEBRA MESSING’S SON ON Smashand i’m sura you all were thinking the Same Thing. He successFully pulls off the wide age range he has to play and (by necesity, Because Present-Day lester is so Old) is one of the Few Recasts (as well as Baby Mabel, Obiviously). The Majority of the rest of the Cast Playing the Younger Versions of Themes. That Means We Get Martin Short in a Luann de lesseps bob and, Most unsettlingly, Steve Martin With Black Hair. The concept of trying to de -age Steve Martin, a man who has favously look exactly the same his entire life, is very entertaining to me. But that what separats the actor from the character; Steve Martin Had White Hair in the ’90s, Charles-Haden Savage Did Not.
And speaking of these de-aged characters, this flashback warrants the return of seversea dearly departed characters, which means Omitb Remains the best Possible Show for an actor to get killed off on Because the Keep Coming checks. Jane Lynch returns as sazz pataki, with a black dye nib to match charles, as does jayne houdyshell’s bunny, and the original Murder Victim Himself, Tim Kono (Julian Cihi). It ‘s tim and mabel that we are also get newbie beanie feldstein’s first appeaarans of the season as a member of that young cohort that played Such a pivotal roles in the first season. Since we’re going deeper into the lore of the budilding (literally, gioven the underground casino), it makes sensation that we’ll be revisiting that group from the show’s days, presumably by way of beanie.
But let’s talk about lester. We find out that when lester took this job, he really had aspirations of becoming an actor (Much like the aspirations charles still), but those dreams fel by the Wayside. On a more positiv not, we see HIM Meet HIS Wife, Loraine, Who Goes by Raine, in The Courageard Where Singing Opera. Another life event that seamed Notable, Both for Lester and the Arconia, was just the elevator became automatic, meaning he no longer Needed to use the manual crank – though he’d go on to the Hold on to it as a kepesake.
When lester sees his superior, george, recipe the envelopes from nicky, he’s eager to get a piece of the action, but that doesn’t come george’s retirement wen lester up that mantle. Nicky tells Him to let people in and keep his head down, Because the mess he knows, the better. While lucrative, it comes to a head we were asks for just one saturday off to take his way for their anniversary, and nicky refuses. To make matters worse, when lester floats the idea of retiry, he’i to told that he has to stay working that desk unil nicky decides he can leave. Sounds Like Lester (or Maybe Loraine, Who Didn’t Get An Anniversary Dinner) Could have a good reason to want nicky dead.
Speaking of which, we said see lester’s point of view as the walls start to happy – the first of which beats Himself up over for letting a killer onto the premise. But his way tries to make Him Feel Better by Saying that it was just one wallr in over 30 years. Cut to “fours a lot of Murders.” Say that, Loraine! That we can lester decides it to the time to hire backup in the form of his eventual successor, randall. It seames like it grams randall Because and fes like he help, but maybe he knows that something is coming and someone will be ready to replace Him.
We Also Get Glimps of His Death, in Which It Looks Like He’s Being Chased Throughard. He Drops His Beloved Elevator Crank before Dying, and we see the Murderer Snatch it up. First of all, why did he have that crank on his person? Its not like it has had any elevators to crank. That Makes with Wonder if spreads that crank holds more than just sentimental value. Maybe there is something to be hidden in the arconia that it’s’t’s still need and is Worth killing over.
