Too many of their guys were getting killed and he was taking too long. Their office was also shot up, which of course the boss was pretty pissed about.

Had the same exact thought.

Every week they seem to work in a song that was used in a Coen Brothers movie. This week we got two (or was it three? Did we hear two versions of Just Dropped In?)

The way they lead up to that scene really gave the impression that Mike was preparing to die.

There was a lot more Lebowski refrences in the past weeks, but this week was just an overload of them.

Maybe we'll see a young Fawn?

And that walk in the woods with Simone was straight outta Miller's Crossing. And it may be a stretch, but when the people in the high rise office got gunned down, that opening shot with the camera pulling back looked a lot like something from Hudsucker Proxy.

I definitely got that connection as well - the begging on the knees and the shot from above pulling away.

Betsy tells Karl "Tell him if he needs to get remarried again it's okay. Just not to Rhonda Knutson. Her eyes are too close together. It's weird."

Considering the nod to Big Lebowski with the soundtrack choices, it's pretty easy to say that picking that name was another little Coen Brothers film Easter egg.
