Hotel-room violence
A drunken argument escalates after Claude / Mr. Entertainment is sent into a vanity mirror. Claude then uses actual grappling knowledge against Manetti, and the narrator allows the punishment to continue before intervening. The scene is one of the cycle’s clearest crossings between worked persona and unworked violence.

Because the source uses both Jimmy and Jerry, the discrepancy is treated as textual fact. It could be error, nickname drift or part of the story’s degraded road-memory register; the page does not choose without evidence.
