The Goodfellas parallel is doing so much heavy lifting here and it completely earns it — the racing interior monologue building toward the mathematically correct martini was exactly the right register for deadline-brain logic.

Perfect read for 06.30 Monday...
Why does this remind me of the Blues Brothers ….
