“I ain't sayin' nothin'!”

―Johnny's catchphrase

Johnny Tightlips is a member of the Mafia and associate of Fat Tony.

Biography

Johnny is in his 30s. His occupation is a Mafia associate. Johnny has short black hair. Johnny wears a purple suit.

Johnny says very little, which spares him from accusations of being a "squealer", but his reticence tends to be unhelpful to himself or others. When involved in a shoot-out in Fat Tony's mansion, Johnny is shot by accident. When asked where he is injured, he says, " I ain't sayin' nothin'!", and when asked what to tell the doctor, he says, "Tell 'em to suck a lemon."

In another case doing a shoot-out against Homer Simpson, who is supported by a mysterious sniper, Tony asks Johnny if he can see the sniper. Johnny just answers that he "sees alotta things".

Behind the Laughter
