I have been rewatching November sweeps '94 for the first time since I was a kid seeing it live. There's some beautiful stuff throughout but particularly when a still-hurting Tony first walks on the wild side a bit visiting Frisco with Felicia in Cairo, and bonds with Frisco's fellow WSB agent in a brief death-defying situation with some goons and his trusty scalpel. He then comes back to town and has a long, very thoughtful scene at the Outback with Mac where they talk about Frisco's upbringing and difficult relationship with their father, and how it has modeled his extreme opposite reaction to raising his daughters (or opting out of raising them) as well as about Tony's own experience with the adventure. It was fascinating, beautiful stuff but it was also what I remember that regime did every day, as you say. There were always little vignettes and grace notes like that.
