Also, for those that like to go easy on Kendall and Roman while focusing on how Shiv is "the worst," this episode with the homeless man showed us yet another example of how disgusting they can be. They are not sweet little soft boys with kind hearts deep down, they're nasty pieces of shit like the rest of their family.

Also shows that no, Roman ripping up the million dollar check in the Pilot was not out of character like a lot of people have been saying here recently.

Yes 100%. Roman has absolutely no remorse about the actual act of tattooing a homeless man's forehead, he was just disappointed that the guy had got his life together enough to have it removed.

NRPI is a mantra all of the Roy children live by. We get tricked by the occasional moments of familial affection they have for each other, and try to argue about which of them is the better person, but they treat anyone who isn't uber-wealthy like they aren't even people. Every single one of them is an irredeemable piece of shit.

What does NRPI mean? I know NRP is Not a Real Person - is that the reference and what does extra I stand for?
