- "I ain't sayin' nothin'!"
- ―Johnny's catchphrase
Johnny Tightlips (Born Giovanni Silencio.[4] Legal name: Jonathan Schmallippe[5]) is a caporegime for the Springfield Mafia,[6] working for Fat Tony.
Biography[edit]
Johnny's typical catchphrase is "I ain't sayin' nothin'!" though he does speak occasionally. He is frequently seen with Fat Tony, Legs and Louie. Johnny has short wavy black hair, thick eyebrows, and wears a pinstripe shirt tucked in a purple suit.
Like his nickname, Johnny says very little, which spares him from accusations of being a "squealer", but his reticence tends to be unhelpful to himself and others. An example of this is when there was a shoot-out in Fat Tony's mansion, and Johnny was shot by accident. When asked where he was injured, he replied, " I ain't sayin' nothin'!", and when asked what to tell the doctor, he said, "Tell 'em to suck a lemon." [7]
Fat Tony has referred to him as his "Joisey (Jersey) muscle." [8]
Frankie the Squealer once said Johnny has a bad back.[9]
Despite his occupation as a mobster, he also seems to have an altruistic side, as Homer has once revealed that Johnny digs wells in Darfur on his vacations.[10]
