  • the irony of this scene is that Ziggy is Polish, so he propably know very good that Ukraine =/= Russia. I think director know that people from Poland and Ukraine dont like each other, so Ziggy in this scene calls Boris a russian because he just want to get him angry.

    sorry for my english, by the way.

  • @Suvegon Maybe, but since him and his father are born in the US without real mention of their Polish roots (besides their last name), I'd usually chalk it up to ignorance rather than malice

  • Don't call Ukrainians Russian! Don't do do that, Its like calling Poles Russians. Offends them them big time.

  • The Ukrainians I know would kick ass at even the suggestion they were Russian.

  • @Suvegon Your English is fine.

    Ziggy is a spoiled brat. His Papa should have asked the Greeks to give him a menial job with permission to smack him around if he got out of line. Vondas would have taught him to shut his mouth, stay sober, behave and do as he was told.

  • you no call Ukraine is weak, Ukraine is game to you?! how about I smash the board!!!

  • Lol funny that the "Greek" and his people were so sketchy about doing business with Marlo at first, but they fucked around and actually let people like Ziggy get to know them.

    I guess this just reinforced their philosophy of not fucking with stupid people.

  • ziggy and nick just ooze professionalism. just the kind of guys you want on your side when youre doing something illegal

  • lol..Only older one's usually...my grandpa would lose his shit if you called him Russian..younger people don't care.
