Nick “The Nose” Monicote. (Monicote parades his proud nose) he’s the one with the long nose who thinks he looks like a handsome Cyriac Dibergio, (Monicote proudly accepts the comparison) Pause but really looks like a poor mans pinochio. (Manicotti is pissed, looking for the voice) The nose has gotten him in a of trouble, once he thought lost his wallet and sniffed around his home like a “bloodhound” until his wife showed up and caught him eating their dog’s kibble.
Manicotti is visibly upset with the Voice.

(Looking up at the voice) I do not have feeling for Tony “The Forehead.” (Fist at the Voice) Take it back,
VO THE VOICE
Ok, I’ll take it back...(Frankie looks pleased for a moment)
VO THE VOICE
No I won’t take it back! (Frankie needs to find the voice) Just admit it, you are in love with Tony “The Forehead,” and everyone knows it.
The panel nods up at the Voice in agreement.
