Michael Laurence: Tom Bernstein

Quotes 

• Tom Bernstein : You think I killed him? Please, we've been friends for twenty years, ever since we both got our break in the same issue of "New York Quarterly". We both blew our 140 bucks on beers at the White Horse.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : The White Horse. What... what's that?

  Tom Bernstein : It's where Dylan Thomas drank himself to death. We dreamed of writing our own lyrical ballads. That's what that phone message was about. We were supposed to spend three months in the south of France and write.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : And Julian pulled the plug?

  Tom Bernstein : More like Anna. She wasn't gonna foot the bill.

  [seeing Fin's look] 

  Tom Bernstein : Yes, I was angry, but not enough to kill.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : Why would Anna nix the trip?

  Tom Bernstein : Julian told me that Anna let the ski lodge in Vail fall into foreclosure. She was trying to keep it together around him, but he could tell something was up. Somebody killed them over money?

  Odafin Tutuola : One of the top two reasons people get dead.

• Dominick Carisi Jr. : Finally got Julian's voicemail back from TARU. Listen to this.

  Tom Bernstein : [on recording]  Julian, I'm gonna kill you for this. You screwed me, pal.

  Dominick Carisi Jr. : It's from a Tom Bernstein. He lives on the Lower East Side.
