Biography[]
Season 2[]
After having sex with her in the Hotel Excelsior, Paulie asks the prostitute to get him a plum from the breakfast tray on her way out, but stops asking after she doesn't understand his request. She puts on her thong while Paulie continues to make small talk about how good the fruit in Italy is, remarking how it doesn't contain steroids, and asking her the Italian word for steroid. After she says it to him, Paulie sarcastically remarks that she is indeed a "great conversationalist", but calls her a "fucking twat" behind her back. She sits down next to him with the condition of Paulie spraying her mouth. He lights her cigarette and she is about to leave, but he tells her to stay. She hears him talk about his Neapolitan ancestry, about his immigrant grandfather and his relationship with his fellow mobsters. After the one-sided conversation, Paulie asks her where she comes from, to which she responds she's from Ariano Irpino. This impresses Paulie, as he says his grandfather was from the same town. She doesn't understand him, though.[1]
