1. In the Sopranos episode “Pie-O-My”, Tony watches a scene from this film in which a young cowboy sings about his rifle and his horse.

FTP, give the shared first and last name of these characters from “ER” and “Friends”.

4. QUOTE: “The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay. The glory that was Rome is of another day.
