As soon as I saw Chuck making eggs and the way the two other people were standing around the kitchen I knew this was a homage from the ending scene of the movie Big Night. Perfectly done by Giamatti. Watch the original. It’s great.
Specifically looked up the scene, (I've never seen 'Big Night') and it's oozing with resemblance! haha. It's so cool. Nice shout out to it. Thanks for sharing that info
For me, the most interesting thing about this scene is the billionaire guy eating this very "normal" breakfast with eggs and some piece of bread that was just se[aerated by hand by a little girl who just woke up.
What do you think billionaires eat for breakfast? Endangered bald eagles fried along with some Alien goo gotten from space not forgetting an underage girl getting them off under the table
I really liked it, but it just isn't the style of the show so I understand why people didn't like it. Also for reasons there should have been more axe.

I haven’t even finished watching this scene right now for the first time and came straight here to see the comments, if any, of how awkward this scene (is being) or was for everyone lol!
Just watched the episode and I went straight here, just loved it ! No one's talking, people just doing their stuff, it felt so chill, I could have watched it for hours. Does anybody knows where I can find other's stuff like this (even by amateurs) ? Is this some count of "genre" ?
Me & my father saw this the night it aired & we both immediately thought of the famous broom-sweeping scene from 'Twin Peaks: The Return', also on Showtime...lmao.
Not since Rei and Asuka rode an elevator. The level of confidence it takes for a writer, director and show runner to do this has to be staggering. Very well done. Edit: After finishing the season and thinking a little more on it. This scene has meaning. Anyone who thinks it doesn’t missed it. The meaning is all about trust. Unlike his relationship of convenience with Axe earlier in the series, Chuck actually likes Prince, considers him a friend and trusts him. Anyone who knows the show knows these connections never last long but for right now there is trust and friendship. You don’t invite someone you don’t trust to have breakfast with your child in your home. Did it need three and a half minutes? Probably not, but it’s a nice touch. I also suspect most of the scene was improvised.
improvised? I know this comment is a year old... but just do a quick search on youtube for "big night ending scene" this is clearly an homage. Everything from the bread to the blocking is carefully scripted.
This scene is cinematic beauty. So raw yet brilliant in capturing the mundaneness of high functioning elite class lives.. an earthly moment for the masters of the universe, possibly at rest but still in contemplation. Just, beautiful!
I was running down the whole show on netflix and watched this scene. I liked it. It made me to google about this scene. And I found quiet a lot of people didn't like this scene. They said it made them uncomfortable or feel cringed. No sarcsm just wonder, what made them didn't like it? is it because it poorly mimic some scene of other movie? or really just it doesn't fit for the pace of the entire show, or it seems too intentional to be high? I'm lost want some context.
yea right! Paul is a great actor, that omelette flip BLOWN my socks off XD i Googled that scene and this article poped up. uproxx.com/tv/paul-giamatti-billions-cooking-eggs-scene/ Apparently, it is homage to a scene from the movie Big Night (1996) ruclips.net/video/oerP7FRMWa8/видео.html
It’s called subversion… same thing happened in once upon a time in Hollywood… the Spahn ranch… the tension builds and then he laughs after flipping the omelette poorly
The development of his relationship with Mr. Prince-call me Mike-, not only he ate dinner and cooked planes to take down Bobby but now he also got baked with him celebrating their genius fake argument and then he cooked Hime some homemade omelette with some baguette cut by his daughter ...

I loved Big Night, a beautiful film with such a wonderful long take ending, and was pleased to see this tribute to Stanley Tucci.
This is the scene. Giamatti has it down perfectly.

Spot on…
I felt it should be a homage for some movie. But never saw Big Night before.
Hopefully now this will finally put those horrible allegations that Paul Giamatti doesn’t know how to cook eggs to rest.
Nope, you can see egg shell in there
I knew there would be others that appreciated this scene. Thanks for posting.
You're most welcome.
I love how this was his second attempt, and the first take was a perfect flip

Ahhhh come now people. They have chefs who cook elaborate meals. They dont go around eating simple eggs made by some guy.
This scene deserves an Emmy by itself. 👏 👏
He accepts him like family, cooking for him... you know the rest ;)
I just watched the exact same scene in the 1996 movie Big Night, such a great way to show a quite moment between family
simpletons totally missed the point of this scene, sad too because it was GOLDEN .
You should see the reddit threads xD

Worst scene ever, pointless like this entire season. Go watch paint dry, you will like it too
One of the best scenes i´ve seen, knew it right away this scene was special and ment much meanings.
This was so wholesome!
I really didn't want it to end.
a touch of genius that all pot smokers would understand
I was looking for this comment, thank you my dear sir! 😅
It's the last scene from Big Night (1996).
As soon as i finished watching this scene i immediately went here and read the comments! This scene is so fucking good!
It pays homage to the movie Big Night
One of the best scenes of the series. Simple, direct and a lot of meaning. Great show. PG is awesome.
probably the most wholesome scene. I cried laughing at Corey Stoll. Literally me when i’m stoned lmao. Stuck! Great scene.
No it isn’t. Don’t give the ppl behind this show too much credit
What meaning is there
Nice nod to the final scene in 'Big Night' :)
One of my all time favorite episodes of any show in part due to this scene… just that silence, stoned, contemplative…. Anticipating
Definitely not a guy that cooks very much. The salt over the shoulder at 3:21 after Paul walks behind it was excellent.
Yeh tht pinch of salt ... Is that superstitious behaviour by prince?

Would have been so cool to see Chuck and Mike put their arm around each other shoulders. Great scene, always loved The Big Night.
Never seen this show, but if it features Pail Giamatti re-enacting scenes from “Big Night,” it’s gotta be good.
Just finished the series and still mildly teary-eyed I return to my favourite scene.

Watch the movie Big Night 1996
This is the final evidence: Chuck is the hero.

This clip is amazing! Does anyone know where to purchase that wooden spatula-turner?
The store
Look so real
One thing I noticed now is that Mike chooses the seat where the biggest slice of bread is.
Honestly, this video is really
soothing to listen to. 💘☺️
I knew I wasn’t crazy. I was watching this in bed screaming that at my wife..
I could not stop laughing at this scene
Hahahahahaha the title is savage
Another classic moment
How is this not big night? That kid is Marc Anthony , sitting over the table, , bringing over the bread.
3:18 As legend has it, you should take a pinch of the spilled salt and throw it over your left shoulder to cancel the bad luck.
Amazing scene, stand out.
I love the guy who puts a little salt on the eggs and then throws it over his shoulder for luck!
This scene weirdly had me captivated and I don’t know why
He chuckled after the flip. I wonder how many takes he fucked up before this one
Amazing scene!!!!
He spilt so much egg
I love it
Genius!
Prince with the salt over the shoulder
Excelente escena.. es la primera vez que los personajes no hace referencias a películas o a personas que no conozco ni me importan
It was a nice touch. Imagine being in this room. With a billionaire just chilling there.
She wasn't though. They were never in the same room with the girl :)
They're just people
They went from enjoying eggs to destroying each other. What happened to the simple days of smoking a joint and having breakfast??

This was so random🤣
I wonder how many time did they have to reshoot this scene from the beginning because he missed the flip
According to George Hahn, once.
Ofc, He is Paul-Freakin'-Giamatti !
Probably once, and it wasn't perfect in this one either.
Twice but they used the first take.

Doesn’t it remind you of that ending scene in the movie “Big Night”

He was trying so hard to do it right you could tell he
I think it is because is so relateable.
I give him a B- on his flip.
Big Night !!
A GAS STOVE?!
oh yeah, rules for thee not for me
Will you PLEASE stop with the BS!!!
Partner & 'their' daughter? 🤣🤣
For his partner and THEIR daughter wtf?
Is that what happens? 😂
They must of had a Big Night
Does anyone know if paul's laugh after the flip was scripted or real? It seemed so real and in the moment.
No idea but guessing it’s real, which makes it all the better.
Actually its crazy but they actually scripted that
Big Night.
Not sure what the added value of this was to be honest? What was the function of this scene? Thoughts fellow Billions fans?

Question- why did prince threw salt to his back. Sorry I do not know .. hence asking .
Superstitious
Doesn't seem like a lot of food, but whatever.
Omelette?
3:20 why did he throw the salt or pepper behind?
Its for good luck not throwing it can bring bad luck in certain heritage
And they're high, too. Don't forget.
If PG can do it, you have no excuse!
