What was the purpose of the Uncle Charlie scene going to Dad's bank, insulting the bank and then depositing 40K cash. For a guy looking to keep under the radar, depositing what I assume are the ill gotten gains of his murder spree, it seemed to be a stupid move. At minimum the IRS would be interested.

I don't think reporting was the same then as now. No one would have known outside the bank that money was there. The insulting comments I think emphasized his attitudes about that part of the world. Just like his speech at the dinner table about women with inherited money. Showing how his brain works. As to why he wenthe was still ingratiating himself to the family. Could that be it?

He was so rude inside the bank. For someone who wanted to stay with that family, that wasn't particularly smart. I agree however that it was the way his depraved mind worked. He didn't have a filter.

He behaved like the adolescent he probably was when he had that accident. Imagine trying to recover from a brain injury with that chatterbox of an older sister hovering over you?
Perhaps I am being unkind about that older sister. Sister probably had an ok childhood but used her gift of chatter to shield her from the travails of her current married life of "slaving like a dog" with a banker husband and 3 kids.
