Only then did the Don slam the negotiation window shut.
What kind of businessman would he be if his initial offer were always fuck you?
Well, hed be the same kind of businessman as Dwight Manfredi.
Dwight tells four different crime bosses where to stick it in this episode alone and suffers no consequences whatsoever.
Its hard to stay invested in the story of a man whos always right.
First on the docket is oil heir and weed baron Cal Thresher.

Bill Bevilaqua gets the brushoff next.
From banishing Dwight to Tulsa to ousting Chickie from the top spot, New Yorks rules have broken down.
Now, granted, this isnt that great an offer.
Id probably decline it too.
So another potential deal gets shot in the head by Dwights arrogance.
Yet all this nonsense leads to one of the shows best scenes.
Again, it seems as if Dwight isnt even listening.
With this last betrayal, he convinces Dwight to give him that 50 percent cut after all.
You earned it, Dwight growls.
Whoever came up with it shocked the hell out of me, thats for sure.
If this was the kind of serious gangster businessTulsa Kingdid regularly, itd be a heck of a show.
But youve still got a surfeit ofTulsa Kingnonsense to put up with.
